Often, even with very good scouts, the scouting reports are often crap. A very good way to find good players is to check out youth/full internationals playing at a level greater than their age. A player at 16 playing for their countries U-20s is often a very good potential player

I always just filter the players in range screen for under 19 players that are on their main national team, then scout all the ones from strong nations. Finds a bunch of gems!

Since i learned this with Zealand I never cared about scout reports anymore

"I love a big meaty boy" is CRAZY lmao

I used to look 16-17 with like 1-2 CA from scouts, and 4-5 PA with decent determination, scout saying somewhat ambitious, and a shit tonne of stats that are at the same level like 7, 8 or 9. Always seems to be tied to a 70 or 80 PA and all those stats stick close together as CA rises 😅. Didn't always work. These days tend to focus on building staff first season then trying to rely on them for a "realistic" save. But they make some massive errors, realistic as a MAN UFC fan 😅

Kev, do you have your views available for FM24 which you use in Players Scouted please. Love your channels!!

changed my scouts thanks kev

So what are you putting when doing them 7 creating recruitment focuses?

Can't wait to see the 6 Burton albion wonderkids

Kev, This is great, thanks. I have a couple of questions. Do you set your interested in transfer to "Interested" or "slightly Interested" by default on the scouted screen (or one of the other options)? Also, Do you look much at what the Scouts tell you about "consistency" and, to a lesser degree ", important Match" ratings for a player?

I’ll usually leave it to interested. I don’t really care about anything other than the 5 star potential and price. I don’t take that other stuff into account at all.

I have been playing football management games since CM2 back in 97/98 (I think it was) an occasional FM here or there through the years. The last one was FM20. And I recently purchased FM24 because I heard it will be the last of it's kind. Anyway.... Now I honestly feel embarrassed. I have been making scouting difficult looking at personality attributes, how a player will fit into my tactic. Filtering through a shortlist of 'youth intake' players etc etc. But Kev's way is so much so easier, practical and quick. I was wondering how he manages to get quality players so quickly, and makes a profit so quickly. This is the answer. Simple and effective. And like anything that is simple and effective, it makes a person think what did I not think of that?

Very informative video..thx Kevin.

Question… when u sign ur staff to put out offers how do you scout the player if the offer comes up for u to officially sign them how can u have enough time to scout the players before them? Or do u delay the signing for a week and let ur scout sign them

@lordwaleane5397

5 ай бұрын

i think you can delay the signings 2 times. on the 3rd its automatically cancelled.

If you buy those young players, do you put them in your youth players or do you put them in your A squad? I always put the best youth in my A squad but I'm not sure if that's the best way... Thx to all you guys answering :-)

...so we're not talking about the Left Back whose name is Spicy Dwarf? Fine. That's fine. Just an NLTL viewer here so I'm guessing its an inside joke on Twitch?

Great Video! Just a question: How do you get the recommendation to show up on the player scouted list? I can't seem to find it :(

Thanks for content Kev Any chance you could do loan players to get for vanarama / div2. Starting with South Shields Just a thought instead of wonderkids we can only dream about 😀👍

How do I opt in the Scout recommendations? I don't see it on my default settings and don't know what to do

Can you make a similar video for console please😊. Thank you love your vids.

ive started doing all of this now. do you not add players to your shortlist? that way you can keep scout reports up to date.

@@lollujo fair enough, i mean your way works :)

For me when I youth poach I look for the guys who have the highest values, approach to sign them and 9/10 times I have a 5* PA player for about a million pounds each time. That being said my best wonderkid, Romanian striker Gabriel Čalin, was signed for £7.5m aged 16.

Kev, can you share how you set up staff responsibilities and how you employ staff? I find it tedious searching for staff based on attributes. Looking for a more simplistic way of doing it.

Yes, it just scales down. You probably won’t be signing the ones that Barcelona are trying to get, but if you see Aston Villa are interested for example, that’s probably a level above you so worth looking at.

Because the ones I have are fine. I don’t use staff search, so I hire the best ones who apply for the job when I put a job advert out. But the scouts I have are plenty good enough.

A lot of people like to “min max” their staff, and certainly those people will try to get the highest possible ratings by using the staff search. From what I can tell, Kev doesn’t play that way. He doesn’t go searching for the scouts with the highest ability. He just puts out an advertisement and hires someone who applies.

Great advice but what about building up scouting knowledge of areas/countries which produce lots of talented wonderkids?

Why do you have a player called spicy dwarf 😂

I guess if they're not going to play in your team then send them out on loan?

Shame you didn't do a better cut to the interaction with staffing but good vid 👍 all hail the algorithm

what is a wonderkid anyway would you say that a wonderkid is someone who signs for chelsea for 100 million or one who signed for 9 in r/l chelsea signed 2 yng players for 100 million done nothing endo for liverpool for 9 has scored and is 30 and if you want a centre back a wonderkid strier is a wonderkid but not the best player wonderkid is a term used by youtubers to get more views and surely if you win 3-1 with wonderkids in your team whats difference between an older player scoring and u winning 3-1
