For more than 5 seasons I have had my preferred recruitment settings in the youth academy set to position goalkeeper for both my clubs. I have yet to get a single keeper so end up wasting my money signing youth keepers in the transfer market. 

Am I doing something wrong? How do I get youth goalkeepers?

Thank you

Probably the most frequently asked question on the forum. 

If you look at your latest player you will see that his keeper experience is 124 and zero for the other 3 positions.

This is what you get when you ask for a keeper. All your other youths were also keepers. 

What you are doing wrong is not training them as a keeper - you need to give them Blocking training and play them in goal.

Yep - to add to this, that same guy was marked up as a striker because he was randomly assigned 0.25 scoring and only 0.1 blocking. Train him in blocking and he'll quickly become a GK.

In higher level YC you can train any player to any position with quite short time. This is good to know avoiding wrong training because original position was given different (selfish should go to forwards and team player to midfield).
