One of the biggest facets of football is continuing to have a winning team once you get there, keeping a team fresh and hungry is a challenge all long term managers face, just ask Sir Alex Ferguson. Unforunately for Fergie, he doesn't have access to the wonder world of 'newgens' the generated players that come into the Football Manager world each year to ensure that teams have enough players to replace the retiring ones. Finding these newgens can be a difficult task as the big clubs either produce them on their own or steal in early to poach them from other clubs.

Outlined below is the date list for when newgens are created in each country allowing you to have a jump on the AI controlled clubs by getting in early to scout, evaluate and sign these newgens. Setting the important nations for your save up as a note in your manager notebook might a good idea to remind you that a new batch of players has been generated in that particular nation.

The underlined nations are those available as playable in the vanilla version of Football Manager.
