BeadyRoller Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 I am managing Marseille, have a 37% scouting knowledge but when I do the above trying to find some good regens, it only shows people from France? I want to see all under 16's. Does anyone know why? I am half way through the second season. Can anyone help me out? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Have you scouted any other countries? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeadyRoller Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 There's my scouting knowledge so far. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thats knowledge not scouting. You actually have to send scouts out to the countries to find players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeadyRoller Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 I've got them all scouting regions, every scout is on a different region and has been for a good while, surely players other than French should show up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depends what players your scouts have found which depends on what instructions/settings you've set for the scouting assignment. I would also probably say from experience that scouting countries is better than scouting regions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeadyRoller Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Right ok, how would everyone go about setting their scouting team up then to find the best young players? It's part of the game that's always confused me as I'm not sure I'm doing it right. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar2010 Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Right ok, how would everyone go about setting their scouting team up then to find the best young players? It's part of the game that's always confused me as I'm not sure I'm doing it right. When a scout goes out on assignment he normally finds a maximum of approx 300 players that fits the instructions you've given him. The better his knowledge of a country the more players he'll know about but he'll still only provide you with reports on a max of approx 300 per assignment. This is your scouting assignment pop up when you create an assignment: You need to be altering the various settings so that the scout targets the type of players you are looking for. You can specify a minimum & maximum age, a minimum level of both current and potential ability, a particular position or even a particular level of attribute(s). The one that seems to be confusing people this year is the "Transfer Budget" section which is second from the left at the top. If you leave it as automatic it will default to your current budget which you can see in my pic above is only £50k. If I left it like that the scout would only report on players who could be bought for less than £50k in his opinion. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeadyRoller Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 Thanks cougar for explaining that, I pretty much had it right apart from the budget, I also got confused with what exactly it did! I have 10 scouts at the moment roaming different regens for players between 15-19 (looking for wonderkids basically), I feel I don't have enough scouts to do just individual nations as it could take an age, I might be barking up the wrong tree though?

BeadyRoller Posted September 7, 2015 Author Share Posted September 7, 2015 They are the assignments my scouts are doing at the moment, does that look decent to you? And that's how I'm setting it up to hopefully find a star Anything else you'd suggest? Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jusander Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Or you could just assign your scout for youth leagues. Personally I scout every youth intake player of every good football country after the intakes. To do that you go to the league page of your choice, like Ligue 1. Then you select the Transfers tab and from there you click the All Transfers drop down menu and pick Youth Intake. Then you can select them all by clicking one of the players and then pressing ctrl+a. Then right click any of the selected players and choose Get Scout Reports or Assing Scouts > Scouting Pool > Duration. Personally I use Get Scout Report to get the general idea of players quality and then I do further scouting for the ones I think are worth it. If you spot a gem with the basic scout report you can often try to sign them for free before they have signed a contract if you started scouting right after the intake. After all that you can repeat it with any other country you wish.

chocolatecoatedballs Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 you should try ri916's challenge http://community.sigames.com/showthread.php/400466-ri916-s-FM15-Youth-Academy-Challenge It's pretty much the only way I play now. I do allow two signings when going up though and sometimes they are just to tutor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocolatecoatedballs Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 but the best way to look for quality regens is to tell your scouts to look for 2 star CA U18. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
