FrostedRam Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It appears that all you football manager enthusiasts have been ahead of the game in respect of scouting. So could someone start looking at potential CBs and wingers http://www.theguardian.com/football/2014/aug/11/football-manager-computer-game-premier-league-clubs-buy-players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sexydadbod Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 I saw this on sky sports news. Could be very interesting Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dale The Ram Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 This is incredible! You could be `Scouting` for talent in Monaco when in reality you're just on football manager on a yacht in the south of France Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gypsy Ram Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Weren't some managers like Gordon Strachen using Football manager like a decade ago for scouting and tactics? I remember football focus did something on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombo Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 It sounds like a joke but they genuinely often know quite a lot about players. For a game, they don't half take their scouting seriously. Very accurate 90% of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Day Posted August 11, 2014 Share Posted August 11, 2014 Don't get too excited FM players they are not looking at the stats, just biographical, contractual and positional information. Better than using Wiki I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted August 12, 2014 Share Posted August 12, 2014 Don't some clubs already pay to use Football Manager's scouting system? Sure there was a big article on it. I mean obviously their scouts make reports they don't just turn up, watch a game and say oh '15 for passing' but he assisted a goal so '17 for creativity', looked ******'d when he came off on 60 minutes so '9 for stamina' etc Derby should be playing 4-5-1 with Obrien as captain and Billy Mckay upfront if my FM14 save is anything to be going by haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
