>>68111560
Making sure.
Lads I just got done scouting like 500+ players in the lower leagues around me and from the youth squads of better teams and it got me thinking.
How many players do you reckon LLMs have on their "database", i.e. have information on? I know someone like Rafa Benitez at Liverpool had literally files on thousands of players over the globe, but what do you reckon people in the lower leagues have?
>>68111638
They probably just use FM, desu. Occasionally sending one of their m8s out to scout someone who they're not sure on.
>>68111638
Probably still loads but they know they can't get most of them, gotta remember at LLM the wages are at best equivalent to minimum wage so whilst you might be able to attract somebody to a neighbouring county/city/town you won't pull them any further than that unless you are offering them decent money as they will want to maintain their day job.
>>68111741
>>68111702
I imagine the more tryhard ones and the ones in like League Two or something try and get a subscription to one of those megascout things like Wyscout
>realising I'm sending my three parttime scouts on like £140 p/w and who probably have family out to scout ~150 players each from all over Italy and some even abroad and I get a report on them all in like two-to-four weeks
Fantastic character
>>68111785
I know LLM isn't exactly "lower league" but I'm managing in the Serie D going into the Serie C so I'm basically going from Conference to League 2 despite being part-time still.
>>68111785
i'm surprised FM doesn't take petrol or air miles into account
>>68111785
I don't really understand why they bother. I'm pretty sure scouting is just one giant scam. Any non-professional team may as well just hold locals trials twice a year. The outcome would be about the same. It only takes about 2-3 years of practice to get gud at football. The game is entirely psychological beyond that point unless you're talking about truly world class players.

butters u fucking madman u cant shit where u eat everyone knows that
>>68112041
>>68112060
Its true, though. Any school team is just as capable of doing tricks like Neymar or scoring from 25 yards. The difference between professionals and amateurs is fitness and mindset. The technical ability is the easiest part of football, by far.
Like when Messi nutmegged James Milner. The entire world got thrills over it. Literally any highschool player is capable of that. Its just a question of confidence to do it at that level and working hard enough to actually get a chance to play at that level.

We can laugh at them (Wales, Scotland) safe in the knowledge that Football is *finally* coming home this summer.
For the past few days I've been building a European Championship trophy out of excess tin foil that, once complete, can sit on my dinner table. I will look at it and think "Football came home" which sort of has a double meaning because not only has the England men's Football team reclaimed their status as kings of European Football, but I have a version of the champions trophy in my very home.
half tempted to do a kurdish save in either Syria, Iraq or Turkey what we thinking
So, from what I understand, different positions value skills differently, so adding positions will take away from your potential.
Does that mean it's free to teach a wide player the other side of the field? I always consider it just in case of gametime injuries. Plus the strategic potential of swapping around wide players depending on whether you want them to cut in or not.
Also, on the topic of wide players, what's the point of cuts inside/runs down flank PPMs? Isn't that up to player instructions? Why would I make my players less versatile?

Lyn is a great team to have a save with, decent history,
their pro team went bankrupt so their fans started supporting their amateur team instead.
In real life they got relegated after getting 1 point in the first half of the season and then the most in the second half winning the last match 9-2, but falling short of the 15 goal margin needed to save the space and staying in FMs playable leagues.
