II would really appreciate advice on how to efficiently use recruitment focuses to find 1st team players. I am aware of attribute searching, but I would love if my scouts brought me loads of 1st team ready players that I can then make decisions from for realism sake. Ultimately the goal is to use just enough scouts on 1st team scouting where I have 3-5 options in each position, so that I can send a plethora of remaining scouts to search for wonderkids.
I'm currently managing BVB and Barcelona so realistically I'm only needing to search the top 5 leagues for players with high enough CA to have an instant impact. How should I set up those scouts and how many do I need for 1st team?

How can I swap an MLS team into another league? I am trying to swap SKC and Zaragoza, but I am getting the error "Error in Nation Rules Major League Soccer, Number of teams in competition (28) doesn't match expected number of teams from rankings (27)". When I load the database in FM SKC is in both MLS and Spanish Second tier, and Zaragoza seems to disappear.
Thanks

You've duplicated ranking 0. One of them has 0 teams assigned to it too, so it's using that and therefore is short by 1 ranking place. Delete the rank 0 with 0 teams and it'll work. You've also got the same problem in Asia BTW.
I have this problem trying to swap an MLS team with a Spanish team. How can I remove the MLS team from the MLS rankings? When I load up the save the MLS team is in both MLS and Spanish competitions.

I've been playing FM21 for a long time and just realized why my shortlists are so full. When I get a scout report in my inbox about a player in a shortlist, if I hit remove from shortlist and hit acknowledge it doesn't actually remove them!

I've noticed General Possession training on this tool shows more affect for Def than Att, despite the training being for all outfield players. Why is this?

Kharza_FM if you're still here would you mind sharing your training schedules if you have them? I let my assistant do training but would love to learn!

O that is good, they must have changed it for 21 :-)
Im playing on fm 20. I think it has more to do with the Vol leaving the DM strata and also be more expressive being used

Unless they have changed it IWB-s automatically function as normal wing back if you play someone in the DM position on their side so the movement you are looking for isn't possible with a 4-2-3-1 deep, you would need to move your DMs to the CM line for it to work.
with the segundo volante pushing up I've seen the IWBs tuck inside. when the volante is deeper they go wide

So since you mentioned Kalvin Phillips I'll assume you are trying to get closer to what he is doing at Leed's over what he did with Chile.
I've mostly watched Bielsa at Leeds, which is why I tried to use regroup. Watching 8 players quickly track back to snuff out counter attacks is unique and it seems to me only the two players closest to the ball put pressure on while the rest of the team tries to create solidity. However I have been reading about Bielsa's career and enganche and IWBs seems to be a mainstay. My goal with the IWBs is to replace the Segundo Volante when he goes forward and to offer more penetrating runs on the other side. So one will be another DM while the other I want as a Box-Box or mezzala type runner. The wide attacking players for Bielsa create chances both by whipping the ball into the box from deep and from the byline while also cutting in and either shooting or slotting in a deep runner. I want to achieve this versatility but using team instructions usually has them do one or the other at a higher rate than I want. With all these players making forward runs the Enganche should be a constant option to pass to then run off of Defensively the back three of Witsel/Phillips and CBs hold their ground against counters long enough for the team to get back and recover the ball.

my shots seem to be coming from the byline or from a distance. Counter attacks are dribbled forward and passed back. I'm losing multiple games 4-2. Main problem seems to be Enganche not creating chances and wide players (wingers and fullbacks) never getting the ball into the box. If you want to see any particular analysis screenshots lemme know!

After 22 games in my first season in fm20 I am 10-6-6 and in 6th place in the Bundesliga. i have been trying to patiently tweak this tactic all season without losing the original intention to emulate Bielsa's philosophies. I am trying to incorporate an enganche and inverted wingbacks into a high energy, high possession, high chance creation side. I initially wanted to use a halfback after watching Kalvin Phillips success but an anchor man seems to fit that role better in game. I average 47% possession in the Bundesliga- 15th, but the third highest chances created with 63 and the most goals with 43 (12 from dead ball situations). I'm reluctant to lower my tempo in order to increase my possession because I don't feel thats the way I want to play. but logically I know it will take some time for my support players to join the attack from deep positions (Brandt my enganche drops very deep when out of possession for some reason leaving Haaland on an island).
Defensively I've allowed 30 goals which is 9th in the league which is a concern but largely to be expected.

What about in Portugal? I'm about to start a save with Vitoria and theres a player on my B team I'd like to use for depth but want him playing regularly for my B side in the second division. Both leagues seem to say all players need to be registered to play in that league. Can he be registered for both my A and B team?

1st Team Scouting Help

@fc.cadoni Thank you for the helpful info and the attached guides. I should be more clear in my question though. My issue isn't with understanding recruitment focuses, it is with scout allocation. How many scouts do I need to reserve for 1st team scouting?
