As everyone knows, Scouts at times can be useless. This is the case if you do not know how to use them effectively. They need to be properly situated and placed in proper countries and with a certain type of method to do. In this Best Scouting Method guide, you’ll learn how to use them and get some really cheap talent. Let’s get started.
Best Scouting Method – Football Manager 2022
Team Setup
Make sure that you have the Recruitment set to C. Then make sure that you have everything forced into the scouting center so the only thing that you’ll get is one big scouting update that everything gets thrown into. This is how it should look:
Now press Advanced Filters(it is not on the picture, but it is under the Player Age Range). Here you will want to actually turn off the Starting Scouting Player. This way it doesn’t show you anything about this.
Then we come to the Recruitment Package. Here you can choose whatever you want depending on how much funds you are capable of spending really. It does make some difference but not a big one.
The best time to start a scouting method like this is during an International Break. Pick any point in this Break time, and the best way to know when is the correct time is when you choose International Break and the number count of players is at its absolute maximum. It is a patient method, so you need to be patient and wait for the perfect time.
Step One
Once you’ve done everything above we can start. Go to the Browser on the top left corner. Here you will go under the Nations and pick any country. For example, the first one is Albania. Pick it and choose the National Team. Now go under U19 Squad.
To have a good view of the players you can download the View Add-On. It is really simple really. You just download it and install it. Then while in the screen of all the players select Custom and Import View. You will need to place it into the View folder in your Football Manager 2022 folder before too.
Now select the players that you want. Usually, you can go with all of them. Then right-click and choose Report > Scout Player (For 1 Week). Now you can hit the arrow on the top to cycle through the countries. After Albania will come Armenia, and do the same exact thing.
Tend to choose these countries for better players:
If these are too expensive go for these:
You can also go for South America, North America, Africa, Asia and so on. Just make sure that you target certain nations and don’t go for all of them.
Then open the Scouting tab on the left and you’ll see all the players that you’ve scouted here. You can also do the same thing for higher-age players as well. Aim for something around 1000 players.
Step Two
Now over some in-game time, this number will start going down. You will specifically choose what you’ll need and over 2-3 months in-game you will get that 1000 to 100 players. You will keep getting Report Updates and you’ll keep on checking them to see your desired and wanted player.
Even after a week, if you’re lucky, you will be able to choose some very early and cheap talent. To sort them easier, click on the Potential Tab. This way you’ll get the players into chronological order from best to worst.
You will want to remove some of the bad ones. Scroll all the way down and select all of the baddies and remove them. Maybe you can remove players until you get about to the 5th star.
Now select those high-quality 5-star players. Right-click them and choose Report > Scout Player (For 1 Week) once again.
This way you’ll get a more thorough search on these 5–star players. Maybe some of them aren’t so good after all. This way you can remove them too. Do this through the season as much as you can.
Step Three
After a constant repeat of Reports, you will start seeing the same players over and over again. This means that this is a real talent and your scouts have brought them to you.
And that is it! This is how you’ll find some really cheap and extremely effective talent in Football Manager 2022. A big thank you to Second Yellow Card from YouTube for discovering this method. You can check him out here.
