FM 2014 - Best Scouts

Shortlist of best scouts at each position in Football Manager 2014. Improve your scouting network in FM and find new wonderkids.

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.

We'll take a look at which attributes are needed by what type of scout. Not all scouts are equal, some will travel and explore new countries due to their high adaptability attribute. While the ones with high JPA and JPP will be the ones you'll turn your head for a second opinion on players other scouts suggest.

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.
