Definitely. Hadziahmetovic, too!

If you wish to disable player search, you need to edit Mustermann Iconic/sections/sidebar sections.xml, line 487: <record id="plas" human_object_type="HOTc" /> This needs to be changed to: <!--<record id="plas" human_object_type="HOTc" />--> You'll then need to save the file, reload the skin with caching off. If you also want to disable staff search, that is line 709: <record id="stfs" human_object_type="HOTc" /> This needs to be changed to: <!--<record id="stfs" human_object_type="HOTc" />-->

You don't need spreadsheets, but if you watch through the PAOK/Zaragoza series you will seen how I approach scouting/transfer windows

As per the most recent update (video on channel), yes

@@KeiranShikari1 ah that must be annoying. Regardless of how good he played, you probably didn't want reminding of him the very next day

Both Lopez and Paulinho should be good fits; Lopez being younger and cheaper would probably be appealing in that sense. If you've kept Paredes and Dybala around, then you probably don't need to worry about his adaptability.

@@Samuel-wk8lt not currently, no. Although whilst these are players who have consistently performed and are good recommendations for the start of the game, from the 2nd transfer window onwards I would always recommend prioritising the performances of players within your game world

I'm afraid he wasn't even close to being in contention. Despite good goalscoring form( xG overperformance of +0.13) his performance in everything else was awful (below 25th percentile in everything but goals and shots - in fact the low NPxG compared to shots indicated a really low xG per shot - suggesting he was taking a lot of bad shots). It's good to hear he's worked out for you, though. Quite possibly indicative of someone who is poorly utilised by Monterey.

Thank you, dude!

The statistics search in the Scouting -> Player Search screen? This will include all players within scouting range, and I recommend creating a filter to narrow this down to loaded leagues for the sake of data fidelity. With regards to preferred episodes, are you talking about the team specific episodes? If so, these will still be happening!

@@mustermannfm i was more refering to the central midfield episode. Loved how you where more in depth about 4-5 and has the rest recomended players shown more briefly. Really made menwant to coach Bonke Innocent for example.

@@kristoffersjomans3692 ah, I understand. Whilst I did do a specific dive into Mothiba's movement, and showcased Lopez's variety of finishing, I appreciate it might have been less in depth than before. Thank you for the feedback, as I'm definitely still trying to find the balance here (in previous videos lots of people skip ahead when it reaches the "highlights" section). I'll keep tweaking and see if I can get that balance right!!

Cheers, dude! I think this might've been only my 8th or 9th ever video!

@@mustermannfm it's really cool I truly like your approach to moneyball

I don't. Just a studious nature.

I said what I said 😂

Uldriķis is an absolute mountain!! A great suggestion. Anything-but-football-apparel is the way forward!! Start with the mainstream sports and work our way down. Looking forward to finding some Kabaddi kits by Christmas time!

A quality player!

Good shout!

Thank you, dude. Glad you're enjoying it!!

That's twice in under 24 hours you've mentioned Kerry Dixon!! But absolutely makes sense.

@@mustermannfm when I was a nipper I didn’t want to be a footballer, I wanted to be Kerry! He scored a brace in my first trip to the Bridge against Leicester in 1984. Loved every minute of it!!

I was expecting a comment about López from you!!!

@@mustermannfm He is the leading goal scorer for us IRL at the moment too by doing a lot of what you analyzed here, so it checks out for sure.

@@BrasilianFury I tend to try and find highlights of players irl when doing this videos, just out of intrigue, and he looks quality. Great presence for such tender years!

@@mustermannfm He has his moments with consistency at times (missing an easy cross by deflecting the shot with the wrong foot in one half, but then holding up the ball outside of the box, turning around and scoring a banger from outside the box on the bottom right corner), but his style of play works quite well with Palmeiras and Abel's schemes to where I almost find it frustrating on his insistence to put in Rony at striker rather than in the wings, where his pace/speed benefits the team most nowadays.

@@BrasilianFury it is quite ridiculous the amount of attacking quality Palmeiras have!! Granted, by watching player highlights I only ever see the good stuff they do, but the team is stacked!

It definitely takes some getting used to, and as I mention often in replies to comments like this: first time I tried attributeless, I lasted 2 months in game, and then didn't try it for another 2 years! That said, these videos are skin agnostic - you can look for players based on performance with any skin (might need to configure a couple of custom views) - so there is definitely scope for finding some kind of in-between approach that works best for you!

The original save files for the data set might have even been saved as "Sensible Transfers Data Test #"

J1 League is part of the data set, but there are very few players that standout when it comes to performance unfortunately.

An absolutely cracking player!

It's a good idea, and one I will consider (generally, I like this things to come up organically during the course of a save). I did give a brief answer in an earlier comment though: My approach to scouting is to remove player search and rely on scouts. As a result I will always be working with a smaller pool. Youth/regens are the same, so if my scouts don't identify them, they are not considered. But, if they are recommended there's a few things to look for. Stats are limited, but you can find them in the youth competition pages under Player Detailed. You can usually identify players who standout compared to their peers. But that's not hard - a lot of their peers aren't going to make it in professional football. Attributes are obscured but there's more than enough information to make judgements. In fact, the grouping helps identify the inter-relationship of attributes quickly and see if they are actually likely to be good after development (no point in a player with elite passing, if they've got poor decisions and vision)

@@mustermannfm I hadn't stopped to think about how the grouping of attributes is something that helps with this observation and it really makes sense, it helps a lot to identify players who appear at the club and/or players from other clubs. If it happens organically in one of your saves and you make a video, it would be super interesting.

Poor Yoro. Just one step behind.

Based on performances before you sign them, or gems uncovered by scouts?

​@@mustermannfm known players for me. No scouts no stats based searching. But when many years in a save I always opt for stat searching.

Thank you, my dude!

It's all about showing love to those underrated players!!

Now you know why everything is mixed so low. Need that mid scoop.

He's an absolute beast. Goalscorer and facilitator. €6m is a bargain!

Paulinho and Lopez are absolutely good enough for UCL contenders!

@@mustermannfm i mean to say CL title contender, i dont think Paulinho and Lopez good enough for winning CL.

@@khemrajbudha7955 yes, I know what you meant, and the point stands. Both players are exceptional, with performances to an elite standard, both in scoring and creating. It will, of course, come down to your tactical preferences, though.

Absolutely! One of the reasons for starting down this route was noticing that I'd often sign or dismiss the same players based on marginal attribute differences rather than assessing how they played. It really helps open up possibilities and give chances for new heroes to come forward!

@@mustermannfm So my only thing is that I find regen scouting to be a massive part of how I play FM. I don't think it's as big an aspect of how you play, but I'd be interested in a video of how you approach it, if you do

@@dalenichol9404 certainly something to consider. I can give a brief answer now. My approach to scouting is to remove player search and rely on scouts. As a result I will always be working with a smaller pool. Youth/regens are the same, so if my scouts don't identify them, they are not considered. But, if they are recommended there's a few things to look for. Stats are limited, but you can find them in the youth competition pages under Player Detailed.

@@mustermannfm what a man. Thank you!

@@dalenichol9404 taking the PAOK/Zaragoza save, I've only signed one regen so far. This guy for €10k: imgur.com/a/eUMYSPp With the DNA indicator, I could see he is already capable in all the areas I prioritise. Even with development, he's never going to be "quick" or a great finisher, but he's rounded in possession attributes, so I believe he has the ability to go on and be a very good Advanced Playmaker at Greek Super League level.

The boundaries aren't likely to change a significant amount, but there'll be a much lower confidence interval. The aim was never to do 10 simuations, but to have a database of above 74,000 players that had played 900 minutes or more in a single season. This should give accuracy and confidence of close to 99% based against the highest recommended players loaded by the game.

Thank you, dude! Moving sounds exciting. It's a chance to reasses and optimise the gaming setup!!

Next week, if I can finish it in time. I'm away this weekend, and that impacts a significant portion of the time I have for editing.

Cheers, dude! I'm glad you like it; I think it's a nice way to spotlight some players who might not always get the spotlight!

You don't I'm afraid. It is not released publically, as it is a live document that is setup for my use (not in a manner that is easy-to-use or friendly for external viewers)

Hope there's some players to intrigue you!
