The BEST Scouting Method!

[@pWndConan]

Would love a tutorial on how to set up your youth / B-Team, like who and when to loan youngsters and who keeps playing in your youthteam. Generelly a guide on how to develop u17 player ^^

[@nikitaostrovski9379]

Bro you opened a whole new universe for me with these methods. My scouts were so bad and they only could find bad/average players. After your vid i just cant stop checking all good players new scouts found for me

[@FMJellico]

I don't scout by full regions, as some of them are quite large, but do a "mini region" sort of scouting. So I'll scout "Iberia" and it will be Spain and Portugal. "Beneden" is Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, "Bosporus" Is Turkey, Bulgaria, Romania, and so on. Have a scout who knows one (or more) of those countries, with good adaptability and decent determination, that way they will learn the adjacent countries faster. I like the scouting changes, I just wish SI had been a bit more detailed on them...

[@DennisBmg98]

Preslav Borukov is a go to signing for me since FM 21. Great that you picked him up aswell!

[@seanl7326]

Might be a bit late on the World Cup themes, but I was listening to a podcast about the 1930 World Cup and the most popular formation was 2-3-2-3. I think it would be a fun off the wall tactic to do if you could find any success in it lol

[@FanLoquenderoN01]

Amazing video, I was struggling this year finding players and I'll try to ask for less potential and current ability as you do. I was scouting by countries, I'll try regions. Thank you!!!

[@Sasquatch10]

Hows it working for you?

[@ndiggidy87]

Great video my Brudda! What i will say though is definitely assign the scouts yourself. I initially left it to automatically assign and i was getting a few recommendations but not much. I then assigned myself and i am getting much more players being scouted

[@bobbywoodcock6937]

How long did it take u to get players and what u scout

[@ndiggidy87]

@@bobbywoodcock6937 I'd say it took a few weeks before i started seeing players. Ideally you want your scouts to have knowledge of different parts of the world or have high adaptability and let them scout in areas they have high knowledge. Sometimes when you do it automatically, the game will send a scout that could be of better use elsewhere

[@germanjc5873]

Wow! Amazing! I tried to do the same thing as what I was doing in 22, I found that the game just stops some of my focuses and duplicating some others when I left the duration on "Ongoing". I'll try this one later on.

[@allansrensen1480]

Priceless video! This is how you scout! Liked and subscribed, thats for damn sure.

[@jayedmunds5665]

this is the video i have been waiting for, pure quality

[@giannisstavroulis]

In the file you uploaded, the only available player filter is the striker one

[@giovanniwisnu8109]

Great video mate! Im just learning to use fm stag scout method but too lazy to make a filters, thank God you made that filters!

[@SportklubMurray]

This is a fantastic video. Whilst I like to think I can manually find strong players, this made it seems so seamless and efficient. I just sat down and structured everything. Thanks man!

[@chepachem8351]

Yesss!!!!! My boy is back. Missed ya buddy

[@chepachem8351]

adding to that. Gotta join ya on Twitch! Looks like a blast haha

[@Draddar]

Can't say I've had that much luck with recruitment focuses. Maybe I'm just too used to the scouting in older versions. Or perhaps too impatient? I do get the initial batch of players almost immediately after setting the focus, but after that it almost completely stalls. With good knowledge of the countries scouted, great scouting attributes, not too demanding conditions and still they just aren't bringing back that many recommendations, even none lots of times. I'll admit it was probably too easy to find wonderkids in previous FM versions and if they scaled it down a bit that's more realistic, just feels bad initially.

[@alanm2277]

Brilliant video. This has helped massively so thank you 😀

[@grohl2206]

Fascinating, I've never used the data like this to find gems before. A shame I'm doing an English players only save with Burton Albion, so no foreign newgens for me, but it should still help me find players that fit my counter 442.

[@DracoEvolve]

This is amazing bro. you have obtained yourself a sub!!!!!!!

[@PTG44]

I would suggest going for scouts based in the USA because they tend to have a wider scouting knowledge

[@footballfumb5495]

Great video, blew my mind, had to watch twice! ; lots I did not know, thanks

Glad it was helpful!

[@jacobabraham6393]

[@dorcohen86]

Absolutly great video!

[@Jdkieddj]

Interesting method, definitely looks rewarding when you find someone who works out since you are doing a sort of Moneyball stat based approach.

[@jpeters1734]

What effect does the match detail, or lack thereof, have on the stats? if I only have my current league playing in full detail, are the stats all that reliable??

[@Mistaloverlover]

Many of these statistics are not shown after I load the filters up. For example non penalty xG per 90s and many others. Why? Is my data analysts team to low so that some information are not visible?

[@AJ-rd4ng]

No info as yet. I'm guessing as the season develops, these stats will be available to data analysts and will therefore appear in our searches...

[@LuckyBi7ch]

Some of the Chalkboard stats are missing, such as Pressures per 90 mins. How do I get these?

[@bilalriazuddin6659]

anyone know why I can't see Uefa youth league, European elite league etc as options in scouting competitions?

[@Gamerbox89]

can you do a download link to your pre-game setup of antions and regions? one question why al lleagues are on view only? how did you play with parma and you did the swedish leagueonly playable?

[@balazseszes8032]

RDF. Is it important to consider what tactic does a scout prefer if I only want a scout who (would hopefully) only set out to find a specific position in a certain tactic? - I mean i play a 442 narrow, and they usually find wingers for me or players who dont exactly play in the position (or particularly good at it) my tactic requires.

[@thargoff]

Great video!

In terms of Recruitment Focus, is there some form of practical limit to the number of them you can have e.g. based on the number of scouts you have, or some other basis?

[@Jdkieddj]

not sure why this youtuber answers zero questions in comments lmao.....but yes, you don't want more assignments than scouts since you want all assignments to basically always set on "ongoing". and you want to leave a few scouts free to handle your instant assignments you do naturally in the game. zealand has a good video on it.
