And, in some cases, looking at the full squad to find any youngsters that have already called up, who are likely to be decent. It’s simply a case of searching for a nation, for example Brazil, then hovering over the National Teams tab and opening the Under 18s, Under 19s or Under 20s squads. This option is a bit more hands-on but can be crucial to finding players that scouts might miss. I’m not sure if that makes any difference or not, but I like to do it anyway! Option 2: Manually search international youth teams And, in theory, this should improve the recommendations they provide.Īdditionally, I also currently have one, sometimes two, scouts with no assignment set, which leaves some leeway for the below scouting options. Keeping staff on these assignments on an ongoing basis is important as it gradually improves their knowledge of a region, rather than constantly swapping them to new locations they have zero knowledge of. Copa Libertadores and Copa Sudamericana.Another is scouting youngsters in European competitions like the Champions League and UEFA Youth League. One scout is covering all the international competitions, such as World Cup Qualification, Euros U21 and U19 qualifying and more.Another scouting all the major European leagues and cups – which is probably a little overkill.All the major European leagues for the next 10 months (using the Until Finished duration option).All the English youth leagues (Under 18s, Under 23s, U18 Premier Division Cup, FA Youth Cup, U23 Premier Division Cup, U18 Premier Division Cup). All the competitions across England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales.Plus, my chief scout is responsible for scouting the next opposition and my head performance analyst analyses the next opposition.Ĭompetition-wise, I currently have individual scouts covering: I also have a scout rotating around Belgium, France, Germany, Holland, Italy, Portugal and Spain. I have another scout generally looking at South America, one covering Central and North America, and one specifically focused on Colombian youngsters, which I may rotate to other countries that I know produce good youngsters. Click the Duration dropdown and select Ongoing.Add Scouted Potential Ability – Is At Least Superb or Excellent (or whatever your preference is).Add Age, then Is At Most 19 or 21 (whatever your preference is).Click the arrow in the Additional Conditions section.Click the button under Scope and navigate to Region, then select the specific region you want to scout.Select the Create new assignment button on the right.Open the scout’s profile, hover over reports and select Scout Assignments. I have a single scout sent out to every available region using this criteria: But I go through and set scouts to either search specific countries, regions or competitions. Only one of my scouts has less than 16 for “Judging Player Potential” – because I wanted to sign the legend that is Gretar Steinsson. Personally, I prefer to assign my scouts myself. But using your scouting network properly is a great, relatively hands-off technique for finding wonderkids. Such a vast network isn’t really necessary and, honestly, it’s a bit of a nightmare trying to stay on top of it. We obviously have worldwide scope but we also have 28 scouts and 6 recruitment analysts. My scouting network with Bolton is ridiculous. Below I’ll run through a few that I’ve used to find some of the best new wonderkids on my ongoing Trotters Talent save. For that reason, I use a wide range of tactics for finding the best new players from all around the world on FM21. My number one rule on FM21 is to never trust my scouts (unless they tell me a player is really, really bad). You’re annoyed that your scouts didn’t spot him first and frustrated that you’ve had to spend far more money on inferior players. You’re peeking around Europe’s top teams on Football Manager 2021 and discover PSG have a superstar striker who cost them an absolute pittance from some minnow in Colombia.
