Can you use scouts on fifa 11

Incidentally, the players here are some of the ones in the previous pictures. I have also included the name of each save so I know where to find my scouted players. Word is useful because you can also put in little notes to yourself. The opposite is sometimes true — a player listed as a striker whose strengths are good for wingers. This is why using a table like this can be useful when considering whether your scouted players are worth signing.

Here is a great trick I found out to work out how good your scouted players actually are. Sure, you get a little outline of how good they are, but that can be up to 20 digits apart at times, which is no help. Now you can sign him.

Go to the Buy Player screen and search the free agents for him it helps if you search for his position too. If your player was a Spanish ST whose strengths were finishing, long shots and shot power in that order , look for a Spanish ST who matches these criteria.

Your player will be there, however, just under a different name. He will always be You will also notice that you can see his OVR! If, however, his potential is and his OVR is 64, then I would sign him. So this method can make all the difference. The reason I say tell your scout to keep watching the players rather than sign them straight away is mainly because if you find 2 good players and only have space for one in your academy you can find out the actual OVR of one of them, quit, reload, then do the same with the other player.

No need to worry about losing that if you reload. The impact of this depends if you sim or not. If you play lots, however, it may be more important. Anyway, if, using this method, you find a 14 year old whose OVR turns out to be 63 or above, sign him — he will be a star.

These are very rare, however. This was the case in the table image I posted above. In this instance it is up to you who you go for. Well, I hope this guide has been useful to you.

This is good thanks: and my best find was a 14 year old German CB Jan Zoller , kept him in my acdemy, when i promoted him, 72 OVR, after 2 games 73 OVR then i saved over that career with another by accident:. He sounded awesome, shame you saved over the CM. I just started playing fifa 12 and your post has helped me to refine my scouting technique. Pingback: Youths developing skill moves - Operation Sports Forums.

I seem too always use the specifics, just because i tend too find about 3 players in 9 months that i will end up keeping and promoting up too first team, even if it is just too loan out and then sell on. What i am planning on trying soon is only getting english scouts, i am english, my next career mode, when i complete this one, i will try it. I tend too youse championship teams or Bolton or Everton, not the big teams. Just so it does challenge me more to create my ideal team. The best player i have found was on a general search and he is a LM right footed, 1 star skill move and 3 star weak foot.

He is now 80, with the potential too reach around 90 i think. Thanks for the nice manual! But I keep getting a problem contracting the high potentials?! But whenever i want to promote him to the first team, he keeps resigning my contract offers, cause he wants higher wages! I tried finding this on several forums, and I found people with the same problem, everybody keeps saying I have to allocate my budget, but i allready done that.

I have enough money to pay his high wages, and his signing fee. This is the second time this happened, I let the first one go, and now and cannot find him in the free agents list, or anywhere else in the game?! Do you know how i can solve this problem? Wait a few weeks before trying to sign him again. I did the same thing with the wage by a high valued player and he also rejects each time. Eventually after trying a couple of times he signed with Try and wait til the beginning of next season during the transfer window.

For me, it always works. I had a 16 year old CB Jannis Ulreich from Germany who was a 69 and i kept offering him wages, until i offered him 1 mil in wages and still denied!

I then waited until the transfer window and offered him a week and he agreed. This has helped me with all my players and saves me a lot of money. Hopefully this will work for you. Never mind, as soon as I ended the season, the youth player accepted the contract. For a wage of 10 Will there be noe replacement for top players in other teams? By replacement i mean younger players with the same skill level, not exact but top notch. Hope you understand, a little bad english there!

But as i play as Arsenal FC i have only found one CB good enough at 17 to play regulary for my first team. The problem is that the players i list for loan is not wanted by any clubs, although all have more that 60 OVR! My promoted youth players only have skill stars, which is a bit to weak for an attacker imo! Thus once all the good players have retired all teams will just be left with a load of undeveloped players.

If you go to loan a player out, make sure to send them to a team that needs them that is, a team where they will get in the starting lineup so that they have as much chance as possible of playing and thus improving. Apparently their weak foot ability does, however albeit slowly. However, I know it can be very frustrating having a winger with amazing dribbling skills but only 1 star skill moves! Although if you find a 14 year old with 58 OVR and potential , sign him! Same if you find a 16 year old with 62 OVR but the same potential.

If they have a high potential they will grow quickly, having a high OVR is just a booster. And having said all that, players with initial OVR ranges of, say, or can still turn out to be very good. And those examples I gave above for each age e. By the way, is the length of scouting would help the scout finding better players? And i just curious, are the scouted players can grow over their potential? Well yes it would because the scout has more time to find good players.

Scouted players probably can — non-scouted players definitely can if you play them enough and if they play well enough. What country is the best for scouting? I think you said it best. The quality of your scout seems to matter much more than the country you scout in. So basically, the scout is more important. It mostly depends on your scout. I have 3, 5 star scouts, and i send them to the US, Germany, and England and have amazing players found.

Why dont FIFA have wales as an international team? They have had great players over the years like bellamy, giggs, speed, rush, hughes and earnshaw. They also have great young players including bale, ramsey, ledley, gunter, matthews, allen, collinson, vokes and robson-kanu. No idea, maybe they had licensing issues. What country do you think i should scout to find a top centre back partner for frederik sorensen?

Also what country do you think i should scout for two top wingers that could work well with paco alcacer? For both questions — any country. Just as no country specialises in producing defenders, attackers, etc, no country specialises in any type of player i. You got loads of attackers and mids in Germany and defenders from Nigeria, fair enough. Fucking thanks for you tutorial.

Thanx man! From the Netherlands. Thank you for this immense post… Just one question: I signed a scouted player to the youth academy and he has an overall of I used your trick to find his actual OVR, and it was If you leave him in the youth academy his overall will improve from the overall of 63 he had when you signed him. So no need to worry about his overall ever being lower then 63 it can only get better.

Hope that answers your question? Thanks to both of you for your answers! PS: Sorry for my bad english.

There were 2 of them I think. By the time I promoted them at age 16 or 17 they were rated around 74 or 75 I think. Anyway, glad I could help. If you get a message saying he wants to leave the academy, just reload and try again until the message stops appearing so make sure you save regularly! Hi, thanks for the really comprehensive article.

Big thx! After reading your blog, i have a much better idea of how this youth system works, but i still have some questions:. His potential is said to be between I wonder how this compares to the growth pre Wonder if you, or anyone could give me some insight on that before i decide to revert back to 1. Well I think being Manchester United could be good or bad.

It could be bad because your team is so good that he may not be able to break in to it. However, it could also be good because if you play him then you can surround him with really good players to make up for it. I would say promote him and try to play him as much as possible — like every game if you can.

Youth players in the academy grow as fast as they would if they were playing every game in the first team — if you have a good team then you may not be able to guarantee this, hence they may grow more slowly in your first team than in the academy. If you have a team where the youth player is good enough to slot straight in, however, then there will probably be little difference.

Players now seem to grow points per season, when before the patch the best ones could grow 3, 4, even 5 points per season. BIG thx again for the quick reply!!

But looking up fifa 12 forums, people seem to say you could clear out your hdd im on ps3 btw and play the game basically with a fresh console. That, i think also means your other saves will be gone, which means you need a back up. Lots of tips on how to fix the problems the patch creates delete the UGC file , but nothing on how to uninstall the patch itself.

I already play with the paris sg 6 years and doesnt appear , and the positions i like it is the CAM and a few a CF the positions appear in the youngs or I have to use the normal players? And are all of the scouted players have tucked shirt and short sleeve shirt? Is there any way to change their style? In short, no. None bar 1 have had black boots! Also, see my reply to Adrian Aviles Banda on this page in relation to scouted player positions.

Been playing for 6 years now with AFC Wimbledon. I have a lot of talents in my team but they develop very very slowely even though they play every match. Found a winger who now is 20 played 4 season almost every match and he is stil only 71? How many points is he growing per season? Before the patch he may have reached 83 OVR by the time he was 22, now we just have to be a little more patient. Glad I could help! That CB is going to be a beast by the look of it. How much is he worth?

Have a look at this article and you could find another CB to go alongside him. If the team you are playing with has a great acdemy in the real world ex. If a team in real life has an awesome academy e. The only 2 things that do are the scout and to a lesser degree where he looks. THX for the quick reply.

No problem. In real life plenty of small teams have great academies, such as Maribor in Slovenia. Great post and comments. I thought I would relay some of my experience with youth players so far in case it helps anyone. Three main things I wanted to talk about:. Everyone I was scouting and signing had that. So many of the players I sign only have 1 or 2 star skill moves. It makes me feel like not developing them even if they have high potentials.

Another guy I found has 3 star skill moves with 5 star weak foot and potential. I read this tip somewhere and I was wondering if the youth player stats actually went up if they were sitting on the youth squad. Even when a range of numbers becomes a single number, that single number will still continue to increase. The starting overall rating will also keep going up. The player I followed was a CB and I kept releasing him from my youth squad and then reloading to check what his starting overall was.

It went from the mids all the way up to 71 before I signed him off the youth squad. His tackle went up so much that he had 86 standing and sliding tackle and the Tackling specialty to begin with. Hope this helps. Oh, I did have one question… Obviously youth players can develop Specialities as their stats increase, but do any youth players have Traits? Oops nevermind, I see someone already asked about Traits in the comments.

This especially seems to be the case with wide players — in typical FIFA fashion, RMs always seem to be left-footed, and vice versa. However, when this is the case I seem to be finding that their weak foot is always at least 3 stars, usually 4 stars sometimes 5 , and that their skill moves rating is relatively high as well. It seems that their growth rate when you leave them in the academy is equivalent to them playing every game in the first team — obviously you may not be able to guarantee this, so keeping them in the youth team as long as possible is advisable I usually promote mine at around age And yes, youth players never have traits.

With three 5-star scouts, my youth squad is too full haha. I always though the work rate was determined by the position in customise formations … maybe I was wrong. Dunno if it actually is due to the patch or just luck though. My first couple of CMs ended up like that, I just quit them cos I had about 10 youth players ready to be promoted and my first team was also full of high-potential players who needed developing.

When he was 16, he showed as eligible, which is great. Not in my Youth Academy and not on the actual squad. I received no notifications, he just disappeared. Unfortunately I think that was just a glitch Do you have a save from before he disappeared?

He was a 71 rated 28 year-old and he wanted too much money. I guess I need to loan him out? Glad to know it was a glitch because I thought it was really lame that he just flat-out disappeared all the sudden. I could sell the 16 year-old, too. Within a couple of seasons he should have caught up with the other GK if you play him as much as possible. Where is that located? Ah, I was wrong. Again, not sure where to see potential. I assume you can as admin.

Also, did you take a note of the potential of your promoted GK? Sadly both of them are Goalkeeper but i can wait 1 more month and do the same trick to get midfielders and attackers. From Spain 5 stars scout is from spain and is seeking players in spain I got 1 goalkeeper with and average of and potential of So far no luck an my 3 scout in china.

After this season i will use the scout to look 1 specific kind of player so i can get 3 possibilities to avoid the same casuality of getting 2 or 3 best same position players. Those goalkeepers look awesome, have you found out their OVR yet? What I usually do is wait a week or so between sending my scouts out, that way as you said if I get a good player I can save and move on to the next scout.

As for having 3 scouts or 2, I think it depends on how much money you are willing to spend on scouts, and how much you need scouted players!

In short, having 2 or 3 scouts gives you more flexibility, but having just 1 means you can use your cash to buy a better scout. Thanks a lot. I never have found a 60 or more than 60 OVR in a 14 years old, Have you? Or in any other age? Getting some 14 years old with a or any lates 40s and lates 60s OVR in their potential of so i can resell them and get some sort of income for my club?

You could try rotating them I guess. Shame they kind of nerfed it a bit. That way I could save my best player from the first scout and wait for the second scout to come and choose my best option and so on.

I choosed the 3 scouts on June 1 and they came on the 3rd. Then i sent 1 of the 3 scout on the same day he came and it said he was going to come back on July 4th Then I went to the 4th and sent the second scout but when i saw when he was coming back from the report it said August 4th instead of July 5th?

And the same happend with my 3rd scout that i sent on the 5th of June. It said he was coming back on September 4th??? Instead of waitting 30 days i was gonna wait 60 days for the second scout and 90 days for the third scout. I just restart my career all over but at least I got 2 grear 14 years old GoalKeepers.

Do yiu thing is worth it to have 3 scouts at the same time or you rather to have 1 or 2 scouts instead? You kind of confused me here but basically, if you have the money, you should send out all 3 scouts.

I like to send out scouts a few days before the 1st day of the next month when the youth squad report is generated because it helps narrow down their stats quickly. Have you seen this website? It seems pretty legit and has the potential for all players…and it seems very accurate, too.

I just chucked it and started a new career as I had made wayyyyyy too many mistakes. I signed several guys with OVR in the range! I also made some terrible transfer decisions, buying crap and selling my gems. Learning here! Which gems did you get rid of?

And who have you decided to go with this time? If you click on a player and scroll to the bottom, their potential is listed in the Other section. Hidden attributes maybe? Although that seems to depend on the result rather than anything i. Plus, Neymar would have insane reputation, yet because he plays in Brazil FIFA assumes that no one is interested in him. This is because a player should naturally reach his potential, but by playing them often you can boost their overall potential.

In the past this boost has been anywhere from 1 to 10, but more likely 3 or 4. This is an overly simplistic view of things but it tends to hold true in most cases. Anyway, it's a bummer because I'm reluctant to keep promoted Youth Academy players on my squad because they might not get much playing time so I feel compelled to loan them out, sell them, or keep them in the academy until they force my hand.

It's unrealistic and frustrating. A footballer should still develop even if he's not in the starting 11! Even players who sit on my reserve bench and never play a game go up. Growth seems to be random too. If you save right before a game where you know a player will go up, you can keep re-simming the game and different stats will go up each time.

I like to re-sim those games to get the best growth. Thanks to a few reloads, one GK in my youth academy has grown 4 points in less than a year! I see the most growth in the first month of the season after all the friendlies. I also see a lot of growth in December. Some players peaked early, some late, some had very balanced growth.

I often see plenty of growth up until December, then not much after. Although that may just be my circumstances. A little growth is better than no growth. If he turns out well you could always buy him back anyway. I intend to develop 3 at the time because there are three changes per game. I just start this kind of developing strategy. Do you think they will develop well that way? Or is necessary they play from the beggining and stay most of the time in the field? I sign him at 16 with 58 OVR, in december.

Play him as substitute of Messi in Barcelona. Then I decided not to buy another player but to play with Vega. Now at the begining of the third season he is 17 and 70 OVR!
