AurioDK Posted March 12, 2021 Share Posted March 12, 2021 (edited) Maybe this is known? Anyway, I already had a scout on youth in the UK with the usual parameters, I then thought ... why not search for fringe players between 15-18? If they are fringe at that age there is a good chance they would develop into something good plus the fact that their stats are probably already good enough to perhaps enter as a sub and develop at the club. I asked another scout to do the above and he actually came back today with 12 new good youngsters, much better than what the youth scout had come up with. I signed two cheap ones and I will see how they develop. Edited March 12, 2021 by AurioDK 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmpaparone Posted March 14, 2021 Share Posted March 14, 2021 Hello. Ok but maybe they are already fringe because they play in very low clubs ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, if they are fringe when found by your scouts then it´s on a relative comparison to your club alone, so a 15-18 year old playing for f.ex. Brentford in the Championship is a considered a fringe player for a top PL team then he probably already has the stats to be exactly that kind of player, at such a young age that is very good (usually). The potential ability is however an entirely different matter, that´s up to you to decide upon viewing your scouts report. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillYourIdols Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 I'm a fan of using "Media Description" to find "Wonderkids" and "Promising" players alongside Minimum release clauses. Works well for me for a few diamonds. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be having a total brainfart, but what is your method to set the parameters for a 'fringe player'? - i want to have a go at this Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
