Scouting | Other elements FM 2014 Guide

If you want to have the best players in your team, you have to find them first. You can't find all of them by yourself so you should hire the right people.

1. Hire scouts

One of the ways to hire scouts is to release a job advertisement. After a few days you should get replies. If nobody is interested, use the menu responsible for searching for staff. Things you should consider: knowledge about countries you're interested in and attributes: mainly Judging player ability and Judging player potential. Tactical knowledge will be useful for a scout whose responsibility is to prepare reports on opponents.

2. Setting responsibilities

Check where you can delegate your scouts because the board won't always agree to placing them all around the world. You can check it in the Boardroom.

Then choose responsibilities for individual scouts. It can be the next opponent, a specific country, region or all the continent. Regardless of the selected option, choose the attributes, potential etc. that you're interested in to get reports only on players you'll want.

3. Getting the results

After you hire proper scouts and selecting their responsibilities, you only have to wait for their reports. Pay attention to your inbox and analyze your next opponent regarding the scouts' reports. Remember that you can monitor individual players. To do it, click Scout's report on his profile and after a while you'll get a report about him.
