7. Shevchenko Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Hi there guys, I was just wondering what approaches you take towards scouting. For example, i'm Liverpool and tend to take an 'Under 23' policy, I guess. Building for the future. So I assign scouts to the following places:- France Spain Germany Italy Portugal Brazil Argentina UK & Ireland South America Scandinavia Eastern Europe Southern Europe Central Europe All set with the criteria of Person Age under 23. How do you go about scouting the worlds talent? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 I do the same as you really, except with Under 21 as the criteria, and an extra scout who I alternate between the various areas of Africa. I also have my scouts do more than one country each, for example, my French scout then goes to Belgium after completing France, then back to France etc. So I also end up scouting Holland, Switzerland, Russia, Ukraine, Turkey and Chile Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7. Shevchenko Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Good thinking. I always find Ukraine pops up with lots of decent newgens, as does Turkey. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7. Shevchenko Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Mexico is another country I usually scout. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Yeah I used to find a few gems from Mexico in FM10, haven't found any there yet on 11 though. Also worth sending a scout to follow the U18's competition in whatever country you're in, I've found a couple of good youngsters by that method.

7. Shevchenko Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Do you erase all scout reports before repeating a nation scout? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 No I don't bother, they get erased anyway when a scout looks at the same player twice, so there's no point really as far as I can tell. Unless I'm missing something there? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7. Shevchenko Posted November 28, 2010 Author Share Posted November 28, 2010 Ahh, I didn't know that. What calibre of player do you look for? Do you ignore anybody below three stars? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bracken Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Yeah usually, I might take another look at a 2.5 star player if they have exceptional stats and a low CA, but really I look for 3 stars or above. Any young player rated 4 stars or above is a definite signing for me, 3.5 stars it depends on whether I need someone in that position, and 3 star and below is just looked at one a case by case basis. How about you? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ty Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 On FM10, I had a scout (greater than 18,18) for every one of the regions, isn't it about 14? They would scout them looking for players under the age of 21. Haven't really bothered on FM11 yet, as I wont start a long term save til the second patch.

DandyDon Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 Once I have a good group of scouts in place I usually have a group who are set continually to scouting certain youth league competitions (Usually Spain, Italy, France, Germany and Belgium...plus the Brazilian and Argentinian youth leagues if I have a big enough network). Then I have another group who are rotated through scouting various countries and/or continents to expand our knowledge pool. And if I remember I might send one of them to the big summer tournaments like the World Cup or the Euros when they are on. Always try to keep one scout free to go and do a more in depth report on a player I like the look of. At a smaller club I'll try and have one scout for the opposition and one scouting the local youth league, any we can afford beyond that will get sent out in rotation to wherever the club will let me send them.

ArsenalFan7 Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 If I can be asked I'll go to the top nations or ones I know usually have good newgens i.e Nigeria, Mexico and then I'll go to their U21's or U19's or whatever they have and press Ctrl + A and then get scout report for all and then I can easily find the best youth Atm though I've just set my scouts to regions and see who they highly recommend Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purefun Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 Great regens, newgens tend to show up in everywhere tbh. It depends on game per game imo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
McGougan33 Posted November 29, 2010 Share Posted November 29, 2010 I just get in 18 scouts, 1 for next opponent, 1 for the league im playing in, and 16 scouting the regions of the world! I set there search to players at most of the age of 18 I see alot of good regens this way Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
7. Shevchenko Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Do you set your scouts to 'Roaming' when scouting a region? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falahk Posted December 1, 2010 Share Posted December 1, 2010 Do you set your scouts to 'Roaming' when scouting a region? yes, and preferbly in regions that use to produce decent regens normaly first chose would go something like this central europe (i like playing in italy) eastern europe south europe south america additional scouts would be placed in suitable regions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
