Scouting Reports

Scouting in FD 27: Direct Your Football Club used to sound like filler. A v0.1 update expanded staff comments into thousands of situational sentences. That change is the point of this page. You are not hunting a hidden overall. You are reading whether a full-back joins attacks or sits, whether a nine holds the ball, whether a keeper’s week is a sample or a month. Pair the sentences with the transfer market and with how to hire staff because a barren shortlist is still often a person problem.

Read the sentence, not the halo

Position-specific attributes are why the database of 6,000-plus players exists. A centre-back who steps in is not the same hire as one who stays. Reports that still sound generic after the update are a staff quality issue. Hire better eyes. The scouting centre supports the work. It does not replace a sporting director. Rank that building on facilities priority after training and medical exist.

Goalkeepers and clean sheets were among match-engine tweaks in public notes. Do not promote or sell a keeper on a seven-day sample. Look for a month of sentences that agree. Match day is the live test of the paragraph you bought.

Youth reports sit behind brickwork. Coaches stay locked until the academy building exists. An under-16 promotion lock was patched after players slipped through. Do not plan a production line you have not built. Facilities is the construction order. Version 0.3 on the roadmap sketches deeper academy work from roughly age eleven. Version 0.1 is still a lock-and-key youth path, not that future.

People who write the lines

Medical staff write the injury future. Traumatic and short muscular absences both exist, down to a single day. A report that ignores knocks is how you meet February surprised. Hire medical first on staff hire order. The delayed bill is the whole game.

The sporting director writes which names appear as realistic. If the sentences are rich and the list is empty, you have a seat problem, not a database problem. Incoming bids now have a full counter-offer screen. Use the report to decide whether to talk, not whether to steal. Wage resistance dropped. Difficulty did not. Wages and contracts is the number after the paragraph.

Club vision should filter the sentences you act on. A youth-first Segunda that chases a tourist nine is ignoring its own brief. Club vision is the quote in January. Use a monthly save before you ink a name the report flattered. Three slots exist.

A useful report is one you can still quote in May: the role, the risk, the wage, and the cover. A useless report is a halo you remembered instead of a sentence. Version 0.1 finally writes enough sentences to make that distinction. Read them, then walk away more often than the halo wants.

If a report contradicts Saturday for a month, believe Saturday and replace the eyes that wrote the paragraph. The database of 6,000 names is not the bottleneck. The person you hired to read it is. Keep that distinction and version 0.1 stays a scouting game instead of a halo shop. Keep a monthly slot before you ink a name a report flattered in a single week. Three slots exist. The database of 6,000 names will still be there tomorrow. February will not wait if you skipped the sentence about knocks. That is the only scout discipline version 0.1 actually rewards.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers for the boardroom questions owners actually search.

Why do reports suddenly have more text?

A v0.1 update expanded staff lines into thousands of situational sentences. That is intended, not padding.

My shortlist is empty. Are scouts broken?

Often the sporting director is the bottleneck. Fix the seat, then the building. See how to hire staff.

Can I scout youth before the academy exists?

Youth coaches stay locked until the building exists. Brickwork first.

Should I trust a one-week keeper report?

No. Look for a month. Clean-sheet tweaks in the engine make short samples noisy.
