If there was one area in Career Mode that was just as important as your team's success on the field but occurred off of it, it would have to do with your scouts and their scouting responsibilities. These select few have an incredible task to attend to, creating reports with their personal thoughts in regards to both player and staffing prospects.
The meticulous research collected by the 1,300 global scouts found within FM17 will precisely model the data for more than 600,000 Players and Staff members. The more that is invested in scouting with your team's budget, the more information these scouts will provide you. Managers can then use this unrivaled source of invaluable information to select which players and coaches they would either like to keep their eye on or even sign for that matter, further allowing them to obtain the world's Best Coaches or unearth the football superstars of tomorrow.
