[@barfly14]

Legend. My go to guy for FM scouting videos. Thanks for sharing mate.

[@dylanjones5572]

you really out here making the actual best scouting video tips and ones that are not common and are actually kinda fun doing it in a different way but also produces som amazing talent. I love your videos keep up with these type of videos and even the update on your build a nation i dont watch your stream as i dont get teime but i love watching your update videos

[@Secondyellowcard]

Thanks mate! I really appreciate that :)

[@JohnnyMaverik]

Have witnessed how much time this has saved this man compared to the old method on stream, seems to still turn up top, top talent, potentially even better since players not getting called up to youth national sides for the variety of reasons they may not still get hit along with the players you would have scouted before. Plus being able to skip the step of doing the initial one week to find out a player is around 1 star CA with 2 star PA because you already know enough to not que them along with all their team mates from the team report is pretty massive.

[@p2k07]

Quality, thank you. I'll be trying this. Gained a sub 👍

[@matthewl2244]

Never even thought to try this before, looks like a great method - thanks!

[@macpinto9382]

Been playing FM for almost a decade now, and this has been THE BEST youth scouting video I've ever seen. So simple, so straightforward - yet maximum output. Love it. Subbed & liked, just coz even if you never make a good video again (judging by the other comments on here, I know that's not true), you still deserve it.

[@fridy5183]

beautiful cant wait for new stream in sunday!

OMG dude, you are a legend when it comes to scouting. Thanks a lot :)

You sir, have yourself a new sub lol. Great video, will be using this strat for sure going forward, thanks!

[@Secondyellowcard]

Thanks mate!

[@LiamFlanagan-dd9wb]

Great video as usual @SecondYellowCard. Video idea - How to build a Scouting network at a tiny Club. As someone who is going to do saves as Cork City and Termalica in Poland I'd like to know how to build up my Scouting Network//Budget. I know that both you and Zealand have encouraged us to build Scouting Networks but I don't think either of you have done a video about how to do it. This would be really useful for a noob. Thanks, much appreciated.

[@Secondyellowcard]

That's actually an interesting concept, i assume you mean the way that we've prioritised certain types of scouts and slowly built the knowledge levels up so make the initial scouting easier? If so that might make quite a good video as we've found some very interesting stuff on that lately!

[@LiamFlanagan-dd9wb]

@@Secondyellowcard Not exactly what I meant though I'm now interested in that. I was coming from a budgetary side of things. So obviously Scouting in a conventional way is probably a waste of money. So how do you use you Scouting bud get to expand the range and find super cheap players in your Database so you speed your progress in the league table and also sell those players on to reinvest in better players and to continue building up the Scouting network/range. I see a lot of videos on how to do things with Lower League saves but Clubs in other countries with tiny budgets don't get talked about. Thanks Matt.

[@LiamFlanagan-dd9wb]

@SecondYellowCrd Hi Matt, it's been a while since I left the above comment but I have been informed of a few Likes on it recently. Are you thinking of making this video or something similar? Thank you, much appreciated. Liam

[@kyleholbrook697]

Excellent work matt, hopefully I can find some worldies soon 😅

[@kyleleduc34]

Unfortunately it looks like you can no longer add columns to the Team Report Priorities view in FM24. Other than that, awesome video!

[@nothanks5791]

Concise helpful vids every single time brother! One of the best in the business

[@rob_latham]

Great video Matt! I'm 7 years into a save and just won EPL for the first time but, despite having 23 scouts (!!), they're still missing out to our rivals on some of the best wonderkids through the recruitment focuses I've set up. So I'm going to give this a go instead!

[@joseds12321]

How did it work out for you mate?

[@jinjakka]

How do you get squad size in the team report priorities. I don't see any option to edit the view.

[@wm7643]

These scouting videos go hand-in-hand brilliantly with the ‘Claytz-inspired’ Director of Football style save I’m currently attempting on FM.

[@Secondyellowcard]

God yeah, i could see that being insanely powerful when combined!

[@FalloDaSolo]

Looking awesome, but! One thing :) In the shortlist you didn't tick the interested in transfer option at all, so that leaves the question how many of these players your club would actually attract. But other than that, wow! Great job, man.

[@DC-rq5fg]

Was delving about the international youth squads last night then I watch this video today 🙃 Will go back to those same squads tonight & use this method. Great work 👍

[@MrJeremySF]

incredible work

[@fifaconnor1656]

Do you have a list of nations you check with this or do you do every nation in the game?

[@Kupak-hy3vq]

Looks like an amazing method, thank you I will 100% try this on my save in 3 years when the regens start coming through

[@Waterpijp076]

Great video, thank you! I’m kinda struggling with the following though: At what point do you stop assigning another week of scouting to players who you have Extensive knowledge of? Because they’ll keep coming back in the Scouting Update won’t they? You’ll just be making extra costs and spending scouting capacity on a player you know enough about.

[@gregweaver1847]

Another SYC banger

[@ChaingunCassidy]

I found a few absolute worldies using your old method so I'm very excited to see better methods.

[@Brunocko]

THE BEST youth scouting video I've ever seen

[@ouuzunkaya]

I cant add columns for squad size on team report priority window and also cant add knowledge level on scouting update as well. Anyone has an idea why?

[@craigdowling89]

I can't seem to add column wheh going to team report priorities, any help?

[@stioegl]

Me neither. Got any answers?

[@craigdowling89]

I think it's the skin he using on FM

[@nathanbanks8313]

I cant seem to add a column in the team report section of scouting. Any ideas?

[@jonathanvelthove6976]

same here

[@jonathanvelthove6976]

i also dont get the reports the way he gets them

[@Deyemiii]

Hi great video and super helpful, im a little confused on the files in the description, more especially the sas hidden atrribute file. Where do I install that

[@Secondyellowcard]

The hidden attribute version of the skin is essentially just another skin file so it goes in skins. But note that it'll only work on saves that have the in game editor switched on from the beginning

[@Draddar]

Interesting, haven't seen a user friendly version of this method before. Can I still run regular recruitment focuses along this without losing out too much on either?

[@Secondyellowcard]

You shouldn't have any issues running recruitment focus' alongside it. Might just get a bit confusing in the scouting inbox working out which players are from which source :)

[@Draddar]

@@Secondyellowcard In the end all I care about is that I get good players to choose from among scouted players 😄

[@indiekiddo212]

Is there a recommended way to assign the team reports to your scouts (since you can't assign them to the pool, you have to select someone)? Or just try to distribute the work evenly? Excited to try this later!

[@Secondyellowcard]

Thankfully it doesn't matter who you assign them to, you could genuinely assign every report to the same scout and they'd still come through at the same speed. Honestly need a look at from SI on that side of things but for now we take advantage lol

[@zzoip8827]

is there specific nations to target using this method??

[@Gwill1983]

Just found this video! It is awesome. I am having a slight struggle with things though. How do you keep track of how many scouting reports have been made on a player? My scouting centre ends up quite full so keeping an eye on who I have scoured for an additional week after gaining extensive knowledge is tricky.

[@Secondyellowcard]

It's very difficult to keep track unfortunately it'd be really nice if there was an indicator that told you how many time you'd scouted them. The only way to really do it is to remember the player's name or make a note on them in the game. I tend to only use it if it's a key purchase that i want to be 100% sure of

[@Gwill1983]

@@Secondyellowcard Notes! Thats a cracking idea. Will work on that. Keep the videos coming 👍

[@Murtini2023]

I'm definitely gonna do this way of scouting from now on. Sick of seeing 100 reports with 5 players deemed good enough for me and the other 95 utter shit.

[@Hafii]

How do you get the "Knowledge" to sort by in Scouting update? Great video.

[@Secondyellowcard]

It's a feature of the skin i'm using as it's not in the base game for some reason. There is a link to the skin in the description to the video :)

[@engerlandt]

Any way to receive the team reports faster? I used to do something similar where I'd cue up 50+ team reports prior to scouting highly rated players. I'd get 1 team report per day, excluding weekends of course (where i'd get none, typical Italian work ethic) despite having 20+ scouts at my club.

[@Secondyellowcard]

Sadly not, i believe it was back on FM21 and earlier you could get up to 5 reports per day depending on how many scouts you had but now it's limited to one per day even if you have 100 scouts lol. Mine do still come through on weekend though

[@dalerhodes1793]

Matt you have officially cracked the scouting code

[@Secondyellowcard]

I still reckon there is more to be uncovered but we'll get there!

[@ivan5658]

How do you add the transfer value column to the scouting update email fields? Not the team reports one but the actual scouting update. The one at the 9:10 mark of the video. I'm playing on steam deck, so I dont know if that affects that...

[@Secondyellowcard]

I believe that's part of the skin i'm using so it might not be possible to see that without using the same skin or one that will allow you to add custom columns. If you're interested the one i'm using is linked in the description :)

[@emilnordberg2721]

Why cant i add custom column

[@terrydermatas731]

Perfect vid. I will follow. I have seen a lot doing different thing during the dates of youth intake but this vid gave me lots of new ideas. I will subscribe and like

[@trannguyenchien8845]

I follow all your step and try to spread the scouting task evenly but when i go into scouting coverage, i all show only 1 staff do all the scouting? Is it a bug or i am doing something wrong here

[@KieronFlude]

What national teams do you scout? Do you check as many as you can or certain higher reputation ones

[@tarantulaunited3747]

where do you put the file any help please thanks

[@Tylerrh1047]

The scouting option doesn’t appear anywhere on my left hand side, any help?

[@vangeliskastanas]

I have my scouting range set to No Scouting (for financial reasons as I'm playing down to England tier 9) and when I right-click on a club in the Nationals Team view of yours It doesn't have a "Get Team Report" option! Something wrong on my side? Or expectable issue?

[@Secondyellowcard]

That's expected as you have no scouting range, basically meaning no scouting of any sort is allowed

[@jacklowe3064]

im not getting the option to change my scout reports to a list how do i change this?

how do you select what national teams you first look at

[@Secondyellowcard]

This system is more built for finding players for the future, that said you can sometimes stumble across young players who are ready to make an instant impact. The bigger issue i think you might have with Wigan is the work permits for any of these types of players unfortunately

[@jeffcanar7294]

@@benhutton7298 Zealand's streams and YT seem to focus on the here-and-now. You just have to watch his Twitch streams (especially the transfer window feeds) and search his channel for the videos. His saves on stream seem to be all about winning now towards promotion, not building for the future. The strategies there seems largely to revolve around scouting players with expiring contracts and loans.

[@user-hn3iw9ul8e]

Is there any trick to actually sign those 16 year players? From what I can tell you can't get a player to move until they are 18 now and by then multiple clubbs show interest in those players and the price is alot higher then stated in the video for them then.

[@Secondyellowcard]

We sign them all the time, it definitely is harder to sign them than it was but it's definitely possible :)

[@user-hn3iw9ul8e]

Thanks for quick response. I will keep trying then but so far 100% is same "Want to stay in club and develop" strategy I am stuck with is try bid the day they turn 18 and if lucky the other clubs are not interested at that moment...

[@shoobydoobydoooo]

@@user-hn3iw9ul8e I've realized it might be tied to how good/reputable/appealing your club is. In my current Germany save I was only able to sign like 1 out of 50 16 year olds from abroad near the start of the save, but now over a decade in as I've gotten reputable and consistently won titles, it's like every 3 out of 5 is willing to sign.

Do i have to set up this every season again?

[@Secondyellowcard]

What i do, is when a report comes in, after i've checked the squad, i just send that same report to the back of the queue while i'm there. It's the same amount of work but if you do it day by day, you barely notice the time taken. It also then allows you to add more teams into the circulation as you go along. Or remove teams that aren't doing much :)

[@NootAmused]

Nice idea, didnt really work foe me, found some decent players, but nothing like those guys in the video. Maybe I did something wrong. Still great video

[@Draddar]

Now that I've played with this a bit, just wanted to add that besides finding those wonderkids it is absolutely amazing at finding bargain players. Maybe not the quality for the absolute top clubs but you can find a ton of really good players with upside for well under 1 mil. and make great profit. Kind of annoying it's limited to 1 report per day no matter how many scouts you have. Although it's OP as it is 😅

[@Secondyellowcard]

I'm glad it's working so well for you! A couple of FMs ago you could actually get more reports per day, i believe it was up to 5. This would be so insanely overpowered if that were still the case, so i guess it's probably a good thing they nerfed that lol
