I have very high Judging Player attributes as a manager. Does it matter?

Just curious, because every time I see a report from my staff, it seems they are the ones giving me feedback on player potential and ability. But I have much better attributes in those areas. How are my attributes being used then?

I don't think that that particular attribute will have a great bearing on how you do the managerial job apart from making the final decision on transfers.  There are other attributes regarding motivation, tactical know how, discipline etc that will impact your day to day job more.

Sure, that makes sense. But then when I'm looking at my rosters/players or even transfers, does it use my judging attributes then? Seems there certainly must be a place where they do matter, otherwise why do I have them as a manager?

This sounds like if you're starting with a top tier team with finances for scouts, you're good to skip on player knowledge?

But if you're in lower levels with a couple scouts, you're best off investing in those points?
