Bring in Player Scouting

Badge image
As the game stands, managers hoard the best talent, especially in smaller nations where it is difficult to find a suitable replacement for a local star.

Unless you are NC or NCA you have no way of finding top players to buy until they are listed.

I propose a new staff member called "scout" is introduced. Scouts would keep an eye on opposition players and provide feedback on their skills.

Instead of telling exact balls a scout could say:
9-10: very high
7-8: high
5-6: medium
3-4: low
0-2: very low

Each scout can perform one of two actions per week:
A. Search for a player who fits the desired stats within a nominated league. This would depend on tbe class of scout how many skills they can focus on
e.g. a class E scout might only focus on 2 skills whereas a class A scout could give ratings on all 10.
The maximum number of players a scout could report on is 11 per week (picked at random from the players who match the criteria), to encourage managers to pick the specific skill levels instead of setting the bar low and trying to get reports on every player.
B. Scout an opponent for a given match, giving ratings on the starting 11.

It needs some refining but the main premise is having the ability to find players outside of transfer market, and then try and convince the manager to list them.

It could also benefit from a pre-bid feature where a manager can name a price for a particular player, and if the owner accepts the player is transfer listed for 3 days with the initial bid automatically applied.

I understand the need for player scouting in countries with transfer market stagnation like Australia. Even if they don't agree, or don't see this as the correct solution as you've outlined, I'd love to add pieces of it to my scout suggestion from a while ago. I'd at least take the scout levels, A-E, similar to what I proposed, and I'd also take the assignment feature of the scouts, where you tell the scouts what to focus on. In my example it could include many things including looking for new youths, but your suggestion of providing feedback on opposition players sounds like another terrific idea. Scouts could focus on more or less skills like you said, and their feedback could be more or less reliable also based on their skill level. For example, A level scouts would be right 85% of the time or more. Then, you could assign the same scout or other scouts to that task and over time would get multiple reports on the same item, that way you could test your feedback to see what you thought was actually true.

Here's the link:

But I have no idea how to make it click-able

It's here in suggestions forum on the first page called "New staff but for other purposes" or something like that.
