He'll be worth it in a few years, he's one for the future.

Heard quite a few big name teams use the FM to scout talents.

I like the concept of managers using FM in real life, but the game is built on formula's, statistics and a basic algorithm. It can't take real life factors into account, and the genuine affect it has on people.

Certain personalities in football may not be the best, but bring a uniqueness to the squad that a game can't portray.

Not bad for finding players to scout though!! ;)

I wonder how good Lucas Romero, Gabriel Barbosa, Carlos Fierro and Serg Samper are in real life :D

Interesting an article just came out about this

http://www.pcgamer.com/2014/08/11/footb ... rld-clubs/

"Football Manager player database to be used by real-world clubs"

Phil Savage

If you're a long-term Football Manager player, you likely believe yourself to be a fully qualified managerial master. At the same time, a nagging part of your brain is probably reminding you that it's all fiction, that you haven't taken Accrington Stanley to League Cup success, and that, if given the chance in real life, everybody would point and laugh at you.

Maybe it's time to silence that pessimistic voice, because the game's extensive player database has been deemed accurate enough for real-world use. Sports Interactive have today announced a partnership with performance analysis provider Prozone Sports that will put the FM database at the disposal of real-world clubs and scouts.

I'd always half assumed that, when FM rated a player with a "Flair" of 9, it was at best an educated guess and at worst decided by a dartboard. Apparently there's more to it than that.

"For years we’ve heard stories of real-life managers and scouts using our data to help with the recruitment process," says Miles Jacobson, SI's studio director. "From now on, it’s official... real managers around the world will be finding and comparing players using data and a search system that will be very familiar to players of Football Manager.

"The information gathered by our network of more than 1,300 scouts around the world, combined with Prozone’s amazing performance data, makes this an invaluable tool for any football club that takes player recruitment seriously."

None of which has any major impact on the game, but it's still a neat coup for the series. It means that, when you do find title success with Plymouth Argyle, you can be sure that you did so with an accurate reading of how good Curtis Nelson is at throw-ins.

SI have recently announced the inevitable Football Manager 2015. It will be out in November.

Samper and barbosa are going to be top players. Barbosa is already highlighted in Brazil as the next big name forward and samper has a contract signed until 2017 and according to all reports is a future barca capt.

Can't comment on the others.

Everton under moyes used the FM database for scouting a few years back.
