talino7 Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I'm wondering how many players you save to various shortlists in your game. I think I have too many as I'm afraid of missing a gem and/or hidden gem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrazT Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 I clear the shortlist every season and only keep realistic targets, so I have about 120/130 players only Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
du Garbandier Posted July 12, 2022 Share Posted July 12, 2022 6 hours ago, FrazT said: 120/130 players only ...only! I aim to have a few options for every position. I generally remove players who've moved to clubs that I'm unlikely to compete with, though with younger prospects I sometimes keep an eye on them. When I change clubs, I send the whole list to the new club's scouts and then delete the list -- re-adding those players that the new club's scouts report favourably on. The idea there is that one is aiming to progress one's career, so the new club should be stronger & richer, and therefore at a higher standard.

FrazT Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Yeah, I see the irony in that but with a top team and 10+ scouts out all the time, it is pretty easy to top up the shortlist during a season and I am not uncomfortable with 9-10 players for each position. When I do identify a need, I can usually sort out a replacement from the shortlist, so it does save time in the long run as long as you keep it up to date.

Feddo Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 Between 200 and 300. I used to have a talent list and a short list, before that I had a short list per position (because I regularly retrain). Over time I just put it all in one list which contains a lot of players Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
berggren75 Posted July 13, 2022 Share Posted July 13, 2022 My shortlist changes constantly from season to season, as I tend to have several ready, and future, players for a given position. I can go several seasons without buying/selling a player, but when I hit a season where I need to bring in player(s), I tend to have between 20-30 options for that given position that I monitor during the season. After the season, during the summer window, I then narrow it down to 3 options with whom I try to enter negotiations. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rusty217 Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Like 0-1. I gotta say I hate the auto scouting of all shortlisted players. I've stopped shortlisting players because of that actually. In previous versions of the game I'd shortlist a lot more players I was interested in, as well as most players I sold so I could check how their career worked out away from my club.

talhak Posted July 14, 2022 Share Posted July 14, 2022 Always less than 100; preferably something like 50 or 60 - as I tend to focus on my targets. Also, shortlisting a lot of players would naturally cause the inbox to get crowded and eventually make CPU under stress (unless you do have a super powerful CPU & large amount of RAM). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know that, but I'm playing as 24 managers currently and I really can't be bothered to go and do that 24 times. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
phd_angel Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 As the name says, my shortlist is short, about 50. I sometimes go there to trim it down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImDaWeasel Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 Shortlist kept to a max of 30 each season. 2 players for each position and a few extras. Cleared after the summer transfer window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
