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

[@DennisBmg98]

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

[@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...

[@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?

[@giannisstavroulis]

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

[@boukebuffel]

Thanks a bunch for sharing this and uploading the views and such. Much, much appreciated!

[@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

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.

[@jacobabraham6393]

Has anyone got any idea why I am missing stuff like the XG per 90 from the filter? Any help is appreciated

[@christoforosnikiforos9149]

Great job mate! Really helpful. Thanks!

[@RDFTactics]

no problemo!

[@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.

[@frederikfiltenborg5145]

[@gamefan8552]

So how does database setup affects scouting, what is best way to set it up for scouting without slowing everything down ?

[@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...

[@lucasharvey-smith4175]

Hey bud excellent as always, can you list out all your recruitment focuses so I can follow the same as you pls 🙏, many thanks

Does anyone know why when I import the players scouted view it doesn't show up the same as in the video?

[@LuckyBi7ch]

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

[@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??

[@dansorensen6586]

Awesome video due, been following you a while now since hearing you on the FM/Athletic pod. Appreciate you making the filters available, can you just confirm which file is for which filter/screen please?

[@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.

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.
