How to Scout with No Money
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- Ever gone to scout in Football Manager, only to realize your scouting range is too limited? No money left? No scouts at all? No problem on FM20! I have compiled a list of tips to help you find great players on the cheap. The art of the trial, raiding youth national teams, coach scouting knowledge - all can change the way you play FM.
Being able to find players while limited can give you a huge advantage over the rest of the league, whether you are amateur or close to a world scouting program. I personally value talent discovery and acquisition as the most important thing in Football Manager, so in order to thrive consistently, you have to be able to get the wonderkid in every situation.
Much love,
FM Senpai

Scouting at a small club: "hey boss, have you heard of this Mbappe guy? I recommend him, would only cost us about 250M euros"
“Sign him whatever the cost”
“He has the potential to become a star player at the club”

When I'm managing at an L1/L2 level I invite so many players on trial that the UN has to investigate me for human trafficking charges. I'm mean you can't let the Premier League, Barca, PSG, Real rejects slip through, every now and then you find a golden nugget not good enough for PSG/Barca with five-star potential model citizen personality and 20 determination.
Haha UN investigating for human trafficking. Amazing!
Lmaoooo
This channel is amazing what would make it even better is twitch highlights or a full series
Why don’t you do a FM series on RUclips
Fun tip: Dual nationality-if when you create your manager set yourself as coming from two countries you get double the knowledge
I am a dual citizen, but from 2 not so footballing countries, Canada and Australia, so it was mostly worthless
My great great great grandfather once thought about visiting Brazil for a week... So I always put that in, for that well known Irish Brazilian connection
You’re a funny bastard Zealand. And a bloody helpful one aswell. Keep up the class work!
Remember to look for Canadians too, found some banging youth talents from young Canadians too

best intro's on the platform i'm telling you. I even watch his tutorials if they're about stuff i already know. Hell, even if he made my little pony tutorials i'd still probably watch them because this man is so interesting
just wanna say thanks Zealand! Just started my FM gameplay this year on FM20, and your channel has been amazing fore to learn from, it's been super addictive and your videos are a nice break to learn what I'm doing wrong also! Hope the channel grows!!
You are by far the best FM content creator on RUclips. You always have me howling with laughter and you're very informative! Top content my man, don't ever stop.
No one gunna talk about the fact that intro was actually true on a deep level 😭😂
Some good tips and always find out something new with your videos. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for the content! Helped my game tremendously.
Love you videos, great information & your intros always make me laugh
Note about using youth national teams to scout: This isn't just true for small clubs. I've found more future first team players by using this strategy in my Chelsea save than I have via my scouts. It's particularly useful after the first season as a way to find good regens.
go to all the clubs in the leagues below you within your scouting range and scout all their key players and hot prospects.
Pretty helpful this! If you are managing a team in the UK probably good to set a filter on second nationality: UK.
Furthermore I would like a video on promoting from championship to premier league. A whole new world opens for you, but it's kinda overwhelming. What should you manage first? Build bigger stadium? Go sign a lot of new players? Spend on a few really good ones? Change tactic to defensive and adjust your team? Etc. Etc.
Love ur vids. There is one additional scouting method I use: COACHES!!! I've used my coaches, fitness coaches, GK coaches ... any coach ... with high enough Judging Player Potential (and that's relative in the lower divisions) to scout my players when I'm in charge of some broke-ass lower division team. What they will do is weed out the half star and one star duds. Anyone who might be interesting, I reserve my scouts for them.
Love the intro, and thanks for the trial invitation ;p
Can you do a video on how to set up your scouts ?
I usually let my chiefscout do the scouting but would like to do it myself.
Great content! You have a new subscriber
You look better with beard. And i believe: big beard brings the best videos 😁😁
The intro is banging
Great vid again Zealand. Could you do a video on negotiating please?
(aside from the tips in the video) At the semi-pro level I used the following scouting strategy to get myself to higher leagues:
1. Assign scout as 2nd job for all staff. Most staff you can get is abyssmal, so sign more of them. Instead of the 1 part-time scout you now have 10 part-time scouts.
2. Sign youth level released players from top division clubs. Most will be direct starters for you depending on the division you play in.
First watch - this dude is bothering me, but damn he is really good explaining things and knows his shit. Tenth watch - I fucking love this guy
I think you should do a transfer negotiation video, I'm struggling to get players cheaper that what I buy them for
Depends on the club i guess, in bigger clubs it's harder to buy them for bargain price even if you make their morale abysmal lol. An even richer clubs would resign them for large contract even if the players are just 17 yo, kinda realistic...
scouting?
Could you do a video on work permits. How to look how long is left. Best countries. Rules and regulations etc. Great videos by the way been hooked on them since getting the game a couple of weeks ago
One aspect you could have included is to tap your Director of Football for suggestions. I do this for every new start (before I have scouts) - on day 1 I will ask for suggestions for free signings at every position I am sure to need improving (usually pretty much all of them). Then I leave him to search for players worthwhile to add to the club and sign them (in responsibilities section), but I keep final contract approval in my hands for the times when his player/salary doesn't make sense in my plans for the club. In my current Whitby save (playing Dafuge Challenge), the DOF has found me 3 very good players that I wouldn't have found on my own and they are all integral to the club as we move into League play in our 4th season.
I think this intro made me laugh the most out of any video intro I’ve seen so far. I hope Jamison jr is a recurring character
Is this not the thumbnail from the Under 5 million wonderkids video? Not complaining, just you have some really legendary thumbnails most of the time and I always love to see what you and Reece have put together.
Lol happy to see Zealand mentioning a wonderkid from Vietnam in his video at 10:17
A tip you forgot, especially if you do use attribute filtering, is increasing the player and youngster knowledge of your manager when using smaller clubs. This will give you more players and more knowledge of said players to start of with.
Great video again man - really useful! I have one question about scouting though. I’m in my third season and my Director Of Football / General Manager used to sign some good young & cheap players for the U19’s in the first half of my first season but then just stopped completely and he hasn’t signed anyone since then. I haven’t changed the staff responsibility, do you know any other reasons why that might be happening? 😬
😂😂😂😂 that intro was fantastic 😂😂😂
And number 5 in-game editor
Really cool beard
Wow this is amazing as i'm currently managing in Wales. Only downfall is that I'm at a semi pro club
FM Base that’s the aim. Will be a long journey
1. Go to the home page of any playable League
2. Click on News > Transfers
You will see a list of rumours about signings and loan targets, possibly even your own club. You can now consider poaching these targets, nice little way to find players that might play in your leaugue. Basically getting the media to scout for you.
We need longer videos!
Much better way for your triaslist not to impact your coaching staff and team spirit. Dump them in the u18. This allows you to offer them a trial longer then a week so you can get full knowledge without any real negative impact. ( Any talented youngster trains with the u23s/B team for me, u18 is the dumping ground.) Now you can have a lot more triaslist around.
PS Clicking offer trial in the bottom corner on scouting screen limits it to one week in older versions of fm, as there was no default trial length. So instead right click on the name and do offer trial there and you can do 4 weeks. Generally you need 2 to 3 for full knowledge, depending on FM level, scouting package and player knowledge of your manager.
"Hope Zealand makes a video about this soon."
I feel attacked.
RE signing trialists. In many leagues free agents can be signed at anytime. Also, younger players do not need to be registered in some leagues.
Handy trick as well if you don't consider it cheating. Scout players that are willing to come to you that are wanted by bigger clubs then you (or just as big if at the top).
Clubs will often accept trials for transfer listed players 😉
Hey Zealand where do you find the offer trial tab in staff responsibilities? I wanna change it from 1 week to 2 weeks...
Alternatively, you could set up your screenflow for all the competitions you want feedback from, and then see the results from each round automatically, and then find some hidden gems that way.
Nice SOAD reference.
Random question, if you have a league on view only at the start, can you add it as a playable league later on? I’m starting at a really small team so don’t want Brazil Argentina etc slowing down my game when I’m not going to be signing their players for a long long time?
Muy buen titulo
The Australian one is fairly similar, they have youth contracts and you can sign them for nothing pretty much
Quick one, do you have any tips to find release clausus on players? I am willing to find cheep ones but I dont know how to.
Love your channel! I have a question. Why fm gives the chance to offer a trial for 4 weeks if you only need 2 to scout in full?
How do I set my trials to 2 weeks?
Might be the wrong video to ask this question on, due to topic relevance, but I’ll ask anyway. I’m looking to develop a new tactic for my Rennes save. Looking to move away from the overused (IMO) 4-1-4-1 Wide to a 3-4-1-2 in attacking/positive games and 5-2-1-1 in defensive/cautious games. Now when it comes to adjusting that tactic throughout the season, how often should I do that? I see the assistant manager recommending changes all the time and it’s beyond annoying and my team is kind of temperamental about the tactics I have set up now from game to game. Anyway advice on how often to change and how to keep players invested to a tactic? Thanks.
I'm at the end of year 2 with Duedelange and I'm starting to think my board will never give me the option to increase scout range. They aren't declining my request, they aren't even giving the option. Europa group stage, and millions earned, and I'm still relying on my personnel's knowledge to find anyone outside Luxembourg.
Can you do a video on how to get the ur game logos?
I love you man . No homo
one thing I did in my FM2019 save:
search for unhappy players of higher divisions... some of them will accept loans with low % wage payment. :p
I want scouting guide at any club cause all I use is shortlist’s
On 2, you can also use affiliate clubs to expand world knowledge, other then using staff members. Personally I don't do 3 as I consider it "cheating" if the club allows it I might send a scout to these tournaments but I won't troll through the list of players. Plus I have hidden attributes on and always have my manager with low knowledge, as to prevent me "cheating" this way. 4 for me is also way too cheese lol, but if I might offer some of them trials if they pop up in recommendations. I never filter by attributes, ever. Makes it more "real" and challenging to me.
We are about talk about the strength of coach knowledge
Trialists are the reason I have found the quality players to get Cwmamman United (Wales) qualified for Europe end of my second season. 👍
Genie scout
Time saved
I haven't checked all the comments but some Danish and Norwegian youngsters have Amateur contracts too
"scouting when poop" is a damn precise thumbnail.
Which twitch video is your new save I’m trying to watch you from the start so I can see how you set your club up season 1
FM Base thanks your tips have help to enjoy this games.
It seems that in small nation's clubs you loose money every month no matter what. Even if you go way under wage budget. Is there any way to overcome this problem?
Really good video as usual, could you teach us how to use your Staff Knowledge to Scout that parts of the world without the scouting range? Despite selecting the member of the Staff with that knowledge I can't ask him to scout players from there...
You dont scout the nation the new coach is from. The new coach with the knowledge of a new country or region adds more players that are now visible into your player search pool :)
@@NateAlan thanks man! Appreciate the help!
Before signing a new staff member check out his info page, it shows his knowledge level in different countries. After you sign him your player and staff search menu will display players and staff from these countries.
@@jeffyke got it, you guys opened a new world of possibilities for me! Lol
What difference does it make with having multiple data analysts in one team? I notice that my analysts are always listed as "unassigned."
Where do you change the standard trial periode from 1 week to 2 weeks?
me with a wolverhampton wanderers save: ah yes this is useful
Does anyone know where to change the default trial length, I can’t find it anywhere in staff responsibilities? Any help would be great!
Where in staff responsibilities is the trial length? Can’t seem to find it.
Will you ever do a vid on weather and how it affects matches?
Alpaca Waka Watch “Getting ready for match day” from 18:00 minutes in
Oh, thanks Reece :)
How do you change the default trial length? Can't find it in game or on Google
Hi! I need some advice about building a new stadium.
For example, Chelsea save. After expanding only 57000 seats.
And in 2027, after winning all in the world, affiliates in China, USA, Europe - the board still rejecting the new stadium because of the small fan base.
How can I resolve it??
Why can’t I offer trial to players that aren’t in the hub of the scouts?
I like this original intro music better.
Trials also can decrease the wages needed for a player.
15:14 - Zeiland it's scouting Zeiland itself
Very late to the club, but as a Venezuelan, I approve of the smuggling
Someone please talk this through with me, I’m Fulham in 2030 i finished 5th last season I have a former PSG left winger cost 90 mil a wonderkid midfielder who’s insane etc I got rid of a striker because he didn’t get any game time last season apart from that I bought a new defender
The tactics work for those players because I did well with them last season the young players have progressed a year, so why am I now 15th halfway through the season?????!! Is it because a few coaches got changed? They like the same formations and everything I don’t understand it seems I cannot use attacking mentality anymore either without conceding goals
I tried to do the American amateur scout trick but got nothing. Is it because I have MLS set to view only or because I dont have enough knowledge. I am an American manager, in year two of coaching in the Vanarama National league.
I need help. My captain (Daley Blind) is a model citizen and he’s key in my mentoring groups. He’s 33 in my save and I extended his contract for one more year. However, for some reason he has a light influence in my mentoring group, even though he’s still a team leader, playing consistently and he’s still my captain. How is this possible?
I’ve got the generic large database loaded and can’t find any of these American yth players. Tried searching for amateur players, nothing comes up. I’ve got full knowledge of the USA as well. Any ideas?
Hire native scouts, and send them there?
Andre Napitupulu would I be able to do this on switch version? I made my manager American, had MLS as one of the 3 leagues I could select, but no US amateurs were showing up. Do I have go hire American staff? Or am I missing something?
I play fm 19 with Tottenham and I’m on my 4th save but every save I have 20+ shots every game but I never score more than one goal a game and I end up being sacked after a few months I play with the instruction to work ball into box but I still can’t score
Can I install skins in Football Manager using the Xbox Game Pass edition?
Every club James has been at in a nutshell " Hi James, go away"
Does the America thing only work if you have MLS loaded as a playable league? Or will it work if I dont? Thanks for the tips, I'm in the 3rd Norwegian division and trying to buy good players is a little bit challenging 😂
Looking for the same answers. I didnt load these leagues in the beginning and I dont want to start over
@@ozancanan9879 you dont have to start over, you can click on the league then press 'add as playable league'. The league will then get loaded in at the start of the next season.
@@charliewilkinson7432 I know that but I dont want to add it as playable. Is there any way to add it as only view?
@@ozancanan9879 ah right, I'm not sure actually. That would be useful because the players loaded caused my game to go from 4 stars to 2.5 😂
@@charliewilkinson7432 yeah same here. Its a killer but I think I will still go for it cuz I really need it in my current team. 0 transfer budget and 1m$ salary budget. I dont want to go back to 3rd division🤣
Where do you change the preffered trial lenght? I cant find it
Either can I. Help
I think that trials have a cost, I actually remember checked that on economy panels
Trials helps for those free players who are big for your team but they're not that interested in coming at your club.
If you trial them you'll increase or decrease their interest according their time in your club.
FM Casting Couch
@ me if you can explain what a scouting package is. I thought it meant i couldnt scout outside of it. Is that the case?
It makes you aware of more players but doesn’t limit or expand your scouting network
I'm guessing on my English League save because I can't see any US clubs' academy, you need to have the US league added.
Yes. You funnily enough need a league added to be able to scout players in those leagues.
You don't understand, but that's ok.
So does this mean I can get free Canadian players too since the CPL is in North America
Might be a silly question but where is the option to set the trial length? I can't seem to find it.
Chris Bower Here for the answer. I only know the long way. Need the preset length
Found it Chris. Scouting centre, preferences at the top right
@@izaakrandon5798 Thank you so much
Scouting on this level will take hours to do. Wow.
Just raid u19, u23 national teams, as well as clubs like Barcelona B/Real Madrid B
I am managing in Mexico, I can sign players for around 10-20M without a problem, but I do all of these too... I mean how can you not sign 20 Americans with 4-5 stars potential for FREE.
Jammeson jr to mr bawsss.... "who the fk are u?..im the janitor " 💦
4:20 (lol) an you do something indepth on Training work load? I did a small test of a team with 5 strikers, a team with 20, a team with 40, and a team with 80, all with only 5 coaches, and even though those coaches were really they couldnt handle the 145 identical players, and attributes didnt grow by much over the season. I am of course lazy and dont want to do more testing, so im gonna ask you to do it
