Scouting Knowledge?

[AJ0207]

Currently playing as Man City my scouting knowledge is only 45%. I am scouting some obscure nations e.g. Qatar, Japan and the Oceanic islands as well as the more prominent ones, why isn't my knowledge going up?

 

[Sam]

Cos your not finding players in those countries??

 

[AJ0207]

But it still comes up with the designated scout having 100% in that area

 

[Sam]

Well I am not an expert in this field so I can't really tell you, but that is the scout not yourself, so if your failing to find players that is your fault not your scouts, as you assigned them, am I right?

 

[AJ0207]

I think you might be, I'll look into it further and see what happens

Ok, glad I could help

How quickly a scout gains knowledge of a country depends on their adaptability attribute. If they have a higher adaptability then they will require less time to settle into the country and get to work.

Ahhh, thanks for that Tharros

as a scout gains knowledge of a new country he may lose knowledge of a country he has previously scouted.. adaptability, determination and obviously scouting ability.
the best ways imo to built knowledge is:

* hire staff who already have a knowledge of more obscure countries but still benefit your team technically, the best ones ive found is a south african coach called doctor khumalo and jorge avival of chelsea
*ask the board for a feeder club because you gain any scouting knowledge they have as soon as they become an affiliate
