Why do the youth squad scouts not bring the types of players requested by the search criteria? This was a function promised by the HTs when the youth squad was implemented, and it does not work.


When you choose to search for a particular kind of player it's not 100% certain that your scout will come up with such a player. But there is a higher probibility that you'll get that type of player.

Does it make sense to change the search region of your YA scout? Maybe you can tell us some more about this?


It makes sense if it's common that your scout don't find any talents. But it's the same chance to get a good talent in all regions.

The number of available talents in a certain region is depending on the size of the region, ie the number of users/teams in the region. A big region got larger talent population. Therefore it might be wise not to put all your scouts in small regions, you should at least consider to move them if they often find nothing.

Moreover, the pool of talents is updated every day. It might therefore also be wise to call your scout later in the week as most users tend to call their scouts as fast as possible after the economic update.

Some clarification about scout giving nothing.

First, if someone is experiencing it too often please add exact details to this thread and I will check, but please put good valid data. The data should include region size (how many senior teams play in this region)

Second. The way scouts work might lead to no player offered more often in small regions then in big ones. If someone is experiencing those in big regions its harder evidence of something wrong. The larger the region the lower the probability of getting nothing. Small regions have their advantages and disadvantages. I would not reveal what they are here but when I check them I find a balance in the pros and cons sides. For having higher chance of getting nothing you get other advantage in return.

You've answered pretty much everything, except Kniff's question on the scouts themselves - are the scouts generic clones of each other, or are they different?

Is there any quantifiable difference between YA scouts?


They are the same. No use of firing one to hire a new one if you try to improve your pulls.
