This is my 13th season as well but I got 4-5 strikers from my youth academy so far....just like you didn't get any forward I didn't get any attacking midfielder so far.
You can't decide what players you want the academy to produce...
Check for auctions first,try to bid if your server has cooled down otherwise try for negotiations...scouts are useless if you don't power train them or if you keep getting promoted to the next level..
