What are the rules for a player to be qualified as "home grown"? I don't see anything about it on the "rules" tab in the league I'm playing.



Best Answer

As per all references I've seen so far in FM games, the game counts a player as 'home grown' if he has been in that country for a minimum of 3 years, between the ages of 16 and 21.

The same is valid for club-grown, which requires him to be on the same club (he'd get both ranks)
