Best scouts in Football Manager 2024

When it comes to scouts you want them to have strong judging player potential and judging player ability. Adaptability is also important as you will be sending them to various countries to try and find talent.

Just like physios & sports scientists, good mental attributes make all the difference. High determination is best, and a broad knowledge base that includes some traditional football powerhouses is also a plus as it will speed up the process. If they can speak the language of the county you are sending them to then all the better!
