Scouting Guide for When Your Scouting Sucks

  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 18 เม.ย. 2021
  • I try to make a lot of videos that help you scout as well as possible. It’s hard enough in Football Manager even with me guiding you, though. Sometimes your scouting reports keep coming back terrible, you cannot sign a good scouting staff, or the FM gods just hate you and you can’t afford anything I’m talking about. So, it’s time to get into some alternatives to the scouting life I usually recommend. How can you find players to make your football manager save better without doing anything I’ve ever mentioned before, and with healthy finances in FM?
    It’s a hard enough question to answer without taking into account teams that have no money. You also need people that fit your tactic or fit what the board demand of you. Ok, all those reasons, new scouting tips, and you’re still reading the description. There is a whole Football Manager world out there and you just want to sit here and read this when you already know what the video is about. I kind of love that energy. You take your time with things. Thanks, enjoy your FM scouting now.
    Much Love,
    FM Senpai

    As someone who had to sit through the old FM Base, pre-Reece days to get good tips on Football manager, the improvement you have made is absolutely incredible. 100k is completely deserved. These videos are always entertaining and super helpful. Reece has mastered pacing on the edits and Zealand has mastered talking and explaining in an engaging way. I would say 'Sky is the limit' but not even the sky will hold you. I've appreciated it before but this video made me fully realise the progress. You truly are the FM Senpai.

    Good stuff. One thing I rarely see used, though it requires knowledge of when different leagues end during the year (and a little money), is increasing the "active relegation release clause" value and sorting the results by value. It's a good way to find bargains.

  • @brianp993
    @brianp993 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Curious about player search - based on your world knowledge of 27% and having 27,000 players show up, that would imply a player database size of 100,000. That sounds about right, but how many players in the database did you start with? I just loaded up my save, and we have 9% world knowledge and only 7,000 players show up. I know I have a database larger than 77,000 so what is the relationship between world knowledge and database size? Any other reason player search wouldn't correlate between the two?

  • @MiliakBR
    @MiliakBR 3 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    MAJOR TIP FOR BAD PC:
    A scout need matches to be able to work.If you put many leagues as view only they will generate matches so your scouts will be give better reports(otherwise he would be scouting only matches like national team and few others). Zeeland put playable in all leagues so he doesn´t have these problem.
