Time to continue with our best backroom staff, and now it’s time to take a look at who are the best Scouts in Football Manager 2014. Also learn how to search for the best ones via this post.
First question you may ask yourself; ‘Are scouts really that important?!’. And we’re here to prove just how important they are in running a healthy and prosperous club in FM14.
If you plan to build your team for future, then your scouting staff should be of a real importance, as they are the ones that find and judge your potential signings. You don’t want anyone making judgment about your potential first team players, you want the best there is.
