Vänsterback Posted December 4, 2020 Share Posted December 4, 2020 Disclosure: I have not spent as much time playing the gam/learning the recent years scouting systems as much as I did when I played the game more frequently (up to FM15). But I can see that the European scouting regions still are very unbalanced both in terms of numbers of countries (5 to 27) and area. These parameters may or may not have very much impact if I send a scout to a specific region, but I feel a need to balance it a bit more. If I'm not wrong UEFA have about 20 more members in 2020 than 20-25 years ago so in Football Manager it would be justified to rearrange the scouting regions from 5 to 6. My suggestion below, including current region and why the change is needed according to me. Northern Europe (9): Iceland (Scandinavia, is not part of Scandinavia geographically) Faroe Islands (Scandinavia, is not part of Scandinavia geographically) Norway Denmark Sweden Finland (Scandinavia, is not part of Scandinavia geographically) Estonia (Eastern Europe, the Eastern Block is not relevant anymore) Latvia (Eastern Europe, the Eastern Block is not relevant anymore) Lithuania (Eastern Europe, the Eastern Block is not relevant anymore) Eastern Europe (9): Russia Belarus Ukraine Krim Moldova Romania Armenia Azerbaijan Georgia South-eastern Europe (11): Croatia (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) Bosnia & Herzegovina (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) Serbia (Eastern Europe, but scouting regions need to be balanced) Montenegro (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) Albania (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) Kosovo (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) North Macedonia (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) Bulgaria (Eastern Europe, but scouting regions need to be balanced) Greece (Southern Europe, not near Gibraltar though) Turkey (Southern Europe, not near Gibraltar though) Cyprus (Southern Europe, not near Gibraltar though) Western Europe (10): Ireland Northern Ireland Scotland England Wales The Netherlands (Central Europe, but regions need to be balanced) Belgium (Central Europe, but regions need to be balanced) Luxembourg (Central Europe, but regions need to be balanced) France (Central Europe, but regions need to be balanced) Monaco (Central Europe, but regions need to be balanced) South-western Europe (7): Portugal (Central Europe, but not if you look on a map) Spain (Central Europe, but not if you look on a map) Andorra (Central Europe, but not if you look on a map) Gibraltar (Southern Europe, not near Cyprus though) Italy (Central Europe, but regions need to be balanced) San Marino (Central Europe, but regions need to be balanced) Malta (Southern Europe, not near Cyprus though) Central Europe (9): Germany Poland (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) Czech Republic (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) Switzerland Liechtenstein Austria Slovenia (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) Slovakia (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) Hungary (Eastern Europe, that's a stretch) UEFA members in other regions: Israel (Middle East) Kazakstan (Central Asia) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
