Frequently Asked Questions
What do Assistant Researchers do?
Assistant Researchers are an important part of the scouting process for Football Manager, making our in-game database as up to date and accurate as possible. They analyse and rate players, staff and make sure numerous other pieces of information related to football clubs are accurate.What’s a Head Researcher (HR) and Assistant Researcher (AR) and what’s the difference?
HRs take responsibility for an entire nation or region in game, meaning that they oversee all the data and work directly with our in-house Research department. AR’s work within this framework, providing support for the HR’s by scouting specific teams, leagues or in some cases even nations to make sure all the information is up to date and correct.How can I get involved?
By contacting the Head Researcher and providing details on how you could be able to assist as stated above. Some countries/clubs require specific help and are advertised as such via this part of our forums. Within each specific thread you’ll be able to see how to contact the HR and what information you’ll need to apply.What benefits are there if I’m accepted into an AR role?
Whilst the roles are unpaid, if work is done to a high standard you will be eligible to receive a free copy of the forthcoming version of Football Manager. Once you’ve proven yourself you can also be put forward into our Private Testing program for future and advance versions of our game, meaning you’ll be one of the select few who see the game before anyone else outside of the studio.It’s also something good to put on the CV/Resume and some of our researchers have gone on to work within scouting and data teams within football at clubs around the world. Others have even ended up working here at Sports Interactive, some as coders, some as QA and some in our in-house research team.
What kind of skills do I need to have to become an Assistant Researcher?
As a starting point you need to have a keen interest in both football and Football Manager. We also like our ARs to regularly watch first team games and ideally if they can youth team football to have a comprehensive understanding of any team they’re scouting. We would also recommend familiarity with how the Pre-Game Editor works with FM as our research tools are similar in layout.As well as the above you also need at least basic IT skills to operate our online database and to keep in contact with HRs and other ARs as and when required.

@tomlcfc - Never knew this until today, but Kasper Schmeichel should have Polish as a secondary nationality. Apparently his granddad (on his dad's side, so Peter Schmeichel's dad) was a Polish jazz musician who emigrated to Denmark.

Great stuff, cheers!

@tomlcfc - Rodgers and Schmeichel club legends and Tielemans a club icon for FM22?
Ha! I think Kasper puts himself in that bracket now - he and Vardy have been a key part of the club's two greatest achievements, and are arguably our two 'greatest' in history now.
I'm undecided about Youri and Rodgers - part of me thinks it's too early to put them in an 'icon' bracket alongside some of the others, given that would require them to be 'permanent' fan favourites, if you will, and neither have been here for very long in reality. But I'm really not sure, their impact has been undeniable. It'll be one I'll need more of a think and discussion with others about, for sure

Semedo also has a better acceleration in FM (better by 2 or 3 points if i remember right). Thing is, the difference should not be negligible at all, but Justin should be quite a bit quicker, at least by 2 points in both acceleration and topspeed. Semedo was rapid at Benfica and Barcelona, probably the fastest player at Barcelona. I don't know if there was a dip in top speed, i wouldn't know why at his age. So the point still stands - Justin is quite a bit quicker then the "rapid" Semedo.
Justin was galloping past players in the last two or 3 games, the problem is, he is not as fast with the ball as without. His not-very-good control of the ball / dribbling skill probably makes him look slower as he really is. I think Semedo should have one less in top speed and acceleration, while Justin should have 2 more in speed and 3 more in acceleration. Even the pundits at MOTD praised his pace against Wolves. Was the fastest player on the pitch bar Adama.
It's something I'll keep an eye on, for sure. I just don't think he's got the outstanding pace you are talking about - 17 pace and 18 acceleration is scintillatingly quick, quicker than I've got Jamie Vardy or Harvey Barnes for instance.
It will be useful to compare him to more wingers and full-backs and see if he is losing races - it could easily be a case of Semedo bulking out as he's got older to adapt to more physical leagues which can often damage your top speed.

I watched Wolves against Leicester two weeks ago and noticed one thing, that is not represented properly in FM21: The speed of James Justin and/or Nelson Semedo. Both started the game and had a few running duels throughout the game. James Justin was a lot quicker then Nelson Semedo, both in acceleration and top speed. Made Semedo look quite slow to be honest. Currently Semedo is quicker in FM21. So either Semedo is too quick or James Justin is too slow. I guess a bit of both, with the bigger deviation on James Justin's side. He is really one of the quickest players in the PL by now, this is underrepresented currently. He really should be faster then Semedo by at least 2 points.
Semedo is quicker by one point for Pace I believe (16v15) which I think you'll see in the match engine is quite negligible.
I really disagree he is one of the quickest players in the league though. He's not slow but he's not necessarily got the speed and energy to play the wing-back role as well as he finds playing as the 'wide' CB in a 3-4-2-1 shape, for me - I don't recall him galloping past players like I've seen many players at full-back do. 15 is a very good rating still, anything higher really should be lightning quick and one of a player's standout attributes. I've not seen much of Semedo but I do know he was highly touted for being rapid at Benfica and then Barcelona - perhaps this is one for @DaveAzzopardi to consider for January or beyond.

Chilwell only having 11 crossing is very harsh. His crossing from both corners and open play has been exceptional this season.
As @metal_guitarist says, I've explained my reasoning for a rating as low as 11 earlier in the thread but I'm happy to repeat myself in replying directly to you.
It's telling that no Leicester fan flagged it up when it was also 11 throughout FM20 (and similarly low in FM19 as I recall) - that's because it was accurate. Ben Chilwell's final 12-18 months at Leicester City were average to say the least, forwards and backwards, although now we know the guy struggled with some mental health problems, particularly last season, which I'm sure influenced things. His crossing, for me, was never very good but in a side that began to dominate the ball under Claude Puel and then rely on full-backs more so under Rodgers, it was exposed massively. I was (and still am) not a very good player myself, but I know you have to get your full body weight behind the ball, and ideally strike a moving ball, to get a whipped or floated ball into the box. Far too often I've seen Chilwell lean back, kill the ball dead and try to put in a cross that ends up flat, weak and easily cleared at waist height. Perhaps that's exacerbated by the fact I sit in the top left corner of the King Power Stadium, so half of his crosses were right in front of my eyes...
I've not seen much of Chelsea this season (blame screen fatigue for my lack of interest in watching games as a neutral), but my close friend is an avid Chelsea fan and he is very impressed with his improvement in this regard. Whether it is simply a confidence thing, or someone has taken him to one side to discuss his technique (I note Steve Holland has been working with him on dead ball situations with England), I don't know, but there is clearly an improvement.
Looking at the database, I think an upgrade to his crossing and a couple of other attributes has been signed off by Philip already, whether that will be included in the full release I'm not 100% sure. Cheers!

@tomlcfc This video just got released which shows Tielemans and Praet speaking fluent French (presumably for some French broadcaster). I think Praet also only has good French listed, rather than fluent in his profile.
Also according to this video, Mendy is Tielemans best friend at the club and Castagne is Praet's. So maybe they could go in each others favoured personnel too (as well as Tielemans and Praet in each other's which I said before
)
Also, Castagne only has good English, but I'd say he's probably fluent. Maybe the very occasional missed word, but he'd definitely be considered fluent and at least C1 if not C2 standards by CEFR guidelines.
Great stuff, @MIR17, I'll pass these onto Pete with the hope for them to be added in full release. Cheers!

Thought it's because both his parents died recently and he's not mentally ready yet.
Didn't know that, and while it's obviously unfortunate, it would be difficult to rate a player who isn't playing. Ultimately one of the key things about the research should be that the AI will pick roughly the same teams that real-life managers are selecting, based on players' abilities. We couldn't have Fofana being loaned out and not picked ahead of Wes Morgan by the game, for instance, when he already looks a star in the making.
1 minute ago, swansongs said:Surprised Chilwell's that quick
One of his outstanding assets, for me. When he does his signature, chest-out burst through the midfield, he is obviously rapid.

Respectively I've got to disagree. On one hand we are told that Chelsea youngsters are set and won't be changed cause the chelsea researcher has seen them more than anyone, but now we're getting told that the St. Etienne researcher has only saw a handful of games. Or are you admitting that there is a big league bias, where someone in the French league (apart from PSG) is never going to be the same once they move to the EPL?
To be honest, I'm not too bothered with Partey, I'm more interested in how Saliba's PA compares with Fofana's, especially Saliba was rated the higher of the two. It's well known why Saliba hasn't played or been registered and is nothing to do with his ability or potential.
Wesley Fofana had played less than 30 competitive senior matches before leaving St. Etienne, if I remember correctly. The French research team quite rightly were not prepared to give him a CA and attributes to match that would make him a very good CB for most of the Premier League given that sample size. PA for young players is clearly different - that will be from watching U23/U19/U18 football and making judgements on those with outstanding potential.
Why has Saliba not been played or registered, then? I don't believe he is unfit? I also disagree that one was 'higher rated' than the other, necessarily - the simple fact is that one has arguably been man of the match in seven straight Premier League and Europa League games for the fifth best team in England, and the other can't get in the squads of the eighth best team.

Ben Chilwell: Ben Chilwell crossing is 11 which seems very unfair. Shouldnt be as high as James. But should be 14 or 13 at the least
This is unchanged from when I set it - Ben Chilwell's crossing throughout his final 18-24 months at Leicester City was nothing short of abysmal, and until he joined Chelsea I was firmly of the belief his actual crossing technique was entirely wrong. We are talking about a guy who could seemingly only get the ball above knee height if he rolled it with the sole of his boot and leaned back, and even then would generate virtually no power nor the desired direction.
I do acknowledge that his general play suffered last season because of some now apparent mental health struggles, but I couldn't alter attributes based on something I'd not seen in the flesh. I'm sure Philip will be looking at crossing and all of his attributes going forward, especially given the strong start to the season he has had.
2 hours ago, tobybilton1 said:That's fair but yesterday I read on the forum somewhere that Fofana of Leicester has had an update signed off.
As you said: "Think he played his first game mid-September and has only played c12 times. So not a massive sample to justify making sweeping changes." Can't be one rule for one and one for the other. Fofana has played 4 PL games, and 7 overall for Leicester.
Fofana is likely to be a rare and special case - I asked the French research team for a significant upgrade when he first signed, knowing he would be well ahead of Morgan (and Amartey, Fuchs) in the pecking order given the alternatives we looked at included players of significant ability such as James Tarkowski and Jonathan Tah. They were not prepared to back me (and I don't blame them given a small sample size of games for St. Etienne). The difference here was that I have not seen, in twelve seasons of following City, a player have such an instant impact in half a dozen games like Fofana. Clearly we cannot have that kind of special talent being offered for loan by the AI.
Whether that can be applied to a well-established PL player in Hojbjerg, I'm not so sure.

also whilst on the subject of Man Utd, how is it they seem to have infinite money, can pretty much buy any player in the game straight away (subject to finances) and seem to have ultimate pulling power for the top players, they are not really part of the so called big 4 anymore and like you say are more aligned with the likes of Arsenal, Spurs, Leicester & Wolves.
They have strong finances because they are still a massive worldwide brand that generates huge sums in commercial revenue. The real life financial accounts are translated into the game to create that disparity - Leicester City generated about £28m from commercial revenue in 2018-19 for example, it is non-comparable. Add in the fact that the 'big six' even in poor seasons almost always qualify for European football (Arsenal finished 8th and are still in the Europa League group stage by virtue of the FA Cup), they also make massive amounts in prize money too.
Pulling power is still there too mostly, I would say. United would clearly struggle to attract the top players at Liverpool, Manchester City, Bayern, PSG at the moment but any other player in the world would probably view it as a step up, not just financially but in terms of their status in world football. As much as I hate to say it, there is still a massive draw for any player in the challenge of trying to bring a team like United back to their previous glory days.

That's just speculation, interest is not the same as action (I completely disagree that Wijnaldum would be good. He was nothing special before joining Liverpool). I doubt Ndidi would have 19 in tackling if he was playing for Leeds, without affecting the rest of his stats. That is why Grealish is not rated as good. It would be a problem for the balance, even though we know he is realisticly a top player. We will never see a world class player playing outside a top club, even though realistically they all came from somewhere (and where they were just as good).
CA spoilers:
SpoilerIn the Premier League at AML (19+) you have Mane, Son, Aubameyang and Bale better than Grealish in raw CA.
Hence, if you put him at Manchester City, Manchester United or Chelsea, he would start regularly for those teams. How you can argue that doesn't make him world class in the game I don't know.
If there weren't any top players outside the 'top clubs' then they wouldn't sign anyone in the game. Of course there are some extremely good players outside of the clubs you are clearly referring to.
But more to the point of the Data Issues thread, this is not really the place for discussion like this. If there are areas of Grealish's attribute spread or profile you have an issue with, and have evidence to suggest a change, then go ahead and say. Likewise areas of Wijnaldum/Bernardo/Henderson's profiles you find are too much. You can't just say X player is too high/Y player is too low and expect anything to come of it.

I believe some of the players in the top premier league clubs are consistently overrated (compared to the rest). It feels off to me that Bernardo Silva and Sterling are some of the very best players in game. Is it just me, or do most people here honestly rate them that highly? I'm genuinely interested in that question. How about the 16 first touch of Henderson and Wijnaldum? I agree that most of these players are good, but my problem is that the distribution of stats are too evenly good. (maybe they have to have 16 in first tough for liverpool to play well? i don't know). There are too many examples for me to bring up here (Robertson, really? Kane is apparently a playmaking genius,).
Why are stats that apparently have nothing to do with talent (aggression, strength, pace, work rate etc) much higher in top half premier league clubs (compared to lower clubs)? it's like there exists a max point cap for the level of the club. I can only speculate that it has to do with the match engine, meaning if Henderson played for Villa he would not have 16 first touch. And a player for Web Brom could not have too high in strength, work rate etc because he would not have enough points in technicals to even kick a ball.
There are of course some restrictions on current ability, but if you didn't have them then Liverpool and Manchester City would not be near the top in the majority of first season saves you play. But there is no reason to suggest if a player has a clear strength in something they can't have a world class number for that attribute e.g. Wilfred Ndidi has 19 for tackling at Leicester City.
Increasingly in the last 5-10 years in football I'm of the opinion that lots of players at the top clubs are now world class 'system players' rather than individuals - players like Wijnaldum, Henderson and Bernardo Silva are not necessarily the most talented out there but they are extremely effective in their respective managers' systems, playstyles, formations etc. As researchers it's quite difficult to reflect that without giving them strong attributes across the board, but I think on the whole there's a good balance. I don't believe Bernardo Silva or Gini Wijnaldum would look out of place at any of the top clubs (Barcelona were reportedly interested in both over the summer), because they have those incredible attributes you describe as 'stats that have nothing to do with talent'.

Leicester fan here - agree that Fofana needs a lift. Other weird thing I noticed, Wes Morgan is being lined up for an exec role IRL as per numerous reports. In the game he wants to take up a director role which makes sense. However when I suggested this to him in the game he said he would rather be a coach, which doesn't correlate.
As said a bit further up, Fofana's significant upgrade will be in for release - the French research team from the St. Etienne end weren't prepared to back a significant hike without seeing him perform on the big stage, and I've waited a good few games to have a better view of an attribute spread. I know that might mean you can't start an ideal Leicester save in the beta, mind.
I'm not sure the Morgan thing is a data issue if he wants to become a director as is set in the DB - I would potentially flag this as a bug and have one of the dev team look into it.

Hi @tomlcfc. Great work as always on the Leicester team.
Just a couple of small things I've noticed.
Dennis Praet only has good level English listed on his profile, but I think he should be fluent, see video below of him speaking pretty perfect English:
Also, Praet and Tielemans should probably be on each other's favoured personnel list. There's been a few articles and interviews when they've said they're really close friends and have known each other for years back in Anderlecht
https://www.lcfc.com/news/1304126/praet-on-citys-ambition-tielemans-friendship--rodgers-influence/featured
https://www.leicestermercury.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/leicester-city-tielemans-praet-selection-3967250
Harvey Barnes and Hamza Choudhury should both have Leicester in their favoured clubs list, but neither currently does. Both are local players who've been at the squad since they were young kids.Cheers, @MIR17, appreciate it. It's never perfect (as mentioned above, there is an upgrade to Fofana coming along with some U23s squad numbers and a change to the Seagrave move-in date), but I'm happy with things in general this year.
Can't disagree with any of that, I'll pass them onto Pete and we should get them updated for full release - I will just say that I'm not 100% sure Barnes and Choudhury are City fans (could be plastic Arsenal, Liverpool etc.!), but I will add them at a slightly lower preference level.
Please do pass on anything else you spot or would like to discuss

Another strange one is the left backs at Chelsea. Emerson and Alonso seem to be extremely overrated, especially Alonso. His tackling and positioning appear to be far too high, considering Chelsea have conceded a lot of goals in the past due to his lack of defensive ability. Emerson also has very high attributes whereas Chilwell is too underrated, on paper he looks like the worst of the three if you just look at attributes.
Not sure how much Philip (Chelsea researcher) has changed Chilwell since he left my file but he was below our standards for most of last season, including when we were in better form pre-Christmas. Barnes and Perez were inconsistent, but without a doubt Chilwell was the biggest weak point within our strongest starting XI, hence why he perhaps will look out of place at Chelsea early doors. That will undoubtedly be something that will be changed if it's an issue from an AI team selection perspective especially.

This is the smallest of small things, but it does frustrate me that league tables show the club common name as opposed to the real club name.
I support Leicester City not Leicester, for example. If we can display Aston Villa and Crystal Palace then we really ought to be displaying all clubs' full names just like in any other professionally distributed league table.

I'm no expert but I've spent a good few hours and days researching laptops at or below £600 and this was comfortably the best I could find.
My only concern is the brand, which isn't a massive player like HP, Dell, Lenovo etc. My old laptop is an MSI which has lasted me 2-3 years and has been generally excellent, but their support and repairs is pretty woeful so I'm concerned about a repeat with another fairly unknown brand.
Has anyone bought a Medion and can vouch for their quality?
