Before we give you the full list of Football Manager 2014 regen dates, it might be worthy to understand what regens are, for those of you who are unsure about this matter.

Their starting age can be between 14 to 16 years on the day of youth intake, but can also be as old as 21. They will develop according to their potential and your guidance, just as "regular" players. Eventually, as you advance through the years to let's say, season 2035/36, the game will be filled with only regens (players and staff).
