![]() If I were focussing on home-grown talent then that number would increase to two or three.įor my foreign scouts, there are certain scouting regions that have only a few nations worth scouting. As my focus is on cheap, foreign signings, I only have one scout domestically. The area you’re wishing to cover should also be kept in mind when signing your scouts if they already have knowledge of the region you’re sending them to, it’s a massive plus. ![]() This is the important bit, because it sets the trend for the type of players you’ll buy. Some leagues have strict rules on foreign players, whilst some clubs are simply too small to afford foreign scouting.įor a list of recommended scouts available at the start of the game, check out this article from Passion4FM: The ratio of Domestic / Foreign scouts depends on plenty of factors, but mainly the philosophies you wish to implement, as well as size of the club. If they don’t have that knowledge, then a high Adaptability attribute is vital and Determination can be helpful for scouts covering large areas. Because of this, they need JPA+JPP and ideally a knowledge of the country or region you’re expecting them to scout. A familiarity of the league you’re playing in would also be useful, but this will develop over time anyway.ĭomestic / Foreign: despite the differing locations these two scout sub-groups have the same goal: to identify talented players to buy. This means as well as the JPA+JPP combination, they need Tactical Knowledge too. But they will provide you a report of your opposition several days before the match.

I prefer to use him as a glorified scout (Judging Player Ability + Judging Player Potential), with an added extra of Man Management. The scouts you hire can be split into four main categories chief, next opposition, domestic, and foreign.Ĭhief: if you are to maintain a tight control over your scouting system, it is unlikely your chief scout will do much. The most obvious place to start (once you’ve begged your board to allow you as many scouts as possible), is ensuring your scouts are fully equipped for the task at hand. It’s also well worth checking out the comments section of this article as there are some points I’ve missed that provide some more handy info. I recommend reading the whole article and then putting it into practice in FM, rather than stage-by-stage. Twitter is a pretty handy tool for answering lots of questions, but this topic deserves more than 140 characters. Given the save is built around signing players for value due to their low reputation, this is an area of the game I spend a lot of time on. Since the start of my ‘Moneyball’ Udinese save, one of the main questions I get asked is how to find the undiscovered gems of the football world.
