Scout star system explanation
Scouting is surely one of the most important things in FM so understanding what u scouts tell you should be essential. Most you all, like me must have wondered what does it mean if a player has 1 golden star CA and 3 golden star PA, or if that really means he will be as good as some of your star players. Also you get that some players are worse then yours or better but with same CA, I always thought the scout is wrong . How wrong was I.
That’s why I did some researching with the help of the editor. I wrote down PA and CA of 30 players or so and scouted them with 2 different scouts, one with over 15 judging current ability/potential ability and good knowledge of the country and other with less good attributes. I found out that half a golden star represents 15 ability points and also that half a golden star potential is enough so a player improves every technical and mental ability with a few physical by 1. Later I discovered that the odds between technical and mental attribute to physical are 3:2.
For example, your scout says the player has 1 golden star CA and 2.5 star PA CAN improve most attributes for 3 points, or some by 4, or even 5 if you base your training on that specific attribute.
Silver stars don't matter, count them as 0 and from that every half golden star means one point improvement. For example. 3.5 silver star CA and 4 golden PA means ur player will improve everything by 8 more or less and probably is a wonderkid too.
Good scouts with over 15 PA and CA judging ability and solid country knowledge will always recognize how good a player is and can be.
Scouts with worse attributes will get that his potential right most of the time but they won’t put the right number of golden or silver stars in their report so you won’t be able to know how much that player can improve.
Also pay attention to the personality report, try signing players who have a professional , fairly professional or model professional personality because they improve much faster.
English ain't my native so please excuse if my senteces are weird or something,
Hope this helps you
and some of you don't miss Genie scout so much knowing this lol
