Chat What Regions Do You Scout In?

[Robbrown172]

When and if you send your scouts out to look for new signings, what regions do you send your scouts in? UK and Ireland? Asia?

Personally, it depends on who I am managing. For example, if I was manager of Liverpool, I would scout in either southern Europe, eastern Europe or central Europe, as I already have a pretty wide knowledge on top players in England. If, however, I was manager of Salford City, I would ONLY scout in UK and Ireland, as it would be too risky buying foreign players when manager of a club lower down the ladder, and I don't have that good of a knowledge about lower league players.

If you are looking for cheap average players with okay creative stats look to Portugal

Thanks for the information

I am always looking for players in East Europe, Scandinavia and South America (if work-permit isn't an issue). I find that South American players other than Brazilian and Argentinian often have high resale value.

I don't send scouts out. The information they provide clutters my news timeline with too many players I have no interest in. I do all the scouting by myself; searching by nationality, age, and with specific stat / attribute values. It makes signing a hidden gem all the more worthwhile knowing the amount of trouble I've gone to in order to find them.

Whenever I send scouts I don't use geographical restrains except the occasional Africa search, although I have later found gems by searching country by country that my Gold Scouts didn't.

In anycase. I would strongly suggest the Balkans (actually all ex-Yougoslavia states with a bit of Romania and Bulgaria) and South America apart from the expensive Brasil.
