Scouting Knowledge/ Head of Youth Development [Some quick questions]

[Wiwyum]

Hi all,

1. If any staff member has 100% knowledge of a nation, does that mean that it's automatically updated when new players arrive into the nation? Do i have to supplement it with scouting as well?

2. Does scouting knowledge affect the youth intake of the Head of Youth Development (HOYD). Does he gain greater access to players with an improved club scouting knowledge. 

3. Though the HOYD impacts the type of players that come through with his preferred formation, passing style and personality etc. does his individual scouting knowledge limit/impact the nationality of players coming in?

 

Cheers!

1. I don't know if I understand it correctly but I don't believe that staff are gaining country knowledge of new arrivals. If they work in foreign country - yes. If foreign arrival comes - not really. At least I didn't noticed that in my 5 years in Spain.

2. Youth recruitment covers that, not scouting knowledge. The bigger the youth recruitment - the bigger the range of players than can come through youth intake. 

3. The range of players in youth intake is mainly controlled by youth recruitment, then affiliated clubs (when you have affiliation with chance for players to come through youth ranks), then it's hoyd and staff (but to some extent I guess.)

When you're low reputation club, you won't get a good affiliate (with good facilities etc.) that quick (because your affiliate will always be worse than your club).
