FM Genie Scout has always been the world's favorite scout utility for Football Manager since its very first appearance to the scene.
We pride ourselves on exclusively releasing this legendary tool since 2009. We always try our best to deliver Genie Scout to the world every year because your support to this project is outstanding.
Genie Scout 16 introduced a key new feature (In-Game Scout) and a couple of significant improvements (Rating System, Progress Rate) in recent years.
For Genie Scout 17, Eugene won't have enough time to work on new features. However, the plan is to make GS17 work with the same features that GS16 had.
The 64-bit Problem
There is one problem this year. FM 2017 introduced a 64-bit version for the first time. If your operating system is x64, then you will automatically get the 64-bit version of FM17. Why is that a problem? Well, Genie Scout has always been 32-bit and with 64-bit a lot of things change.Update 22 Oct:
Eugene has found a way to work around this and prepare the first beta of GS17g.

Is there a possibility to search players by the name of the club they're playing in?
It's really annoying when I want to see my club youth teams players and the only way is by manually typing everyone's names into it.

thanks
We are aware there's a new patch (17.1) out and GS17g doesn't work with it yet. Eugene will be working on a new version as soon as he sees my message. However, this patch is big (680 MB), so I don't know when the new version will be ready until I speak with Eugene first.
@iwabik: Yes it does. The reason is that Genie Scout is still 32-bit and uses a hack to read 64-bit stuff, which needs much more time.
@rohimat: Well, technically they're the same as scout and physio
@unclefxxka: Problem with your key file.
@hummelshoj: I'm sure Eugene will consider adding that, given the chance.
@pekkasteele: You can do that & it was possible in GS16. In Staff search, you can filter by stars for specific training areas.
@alexroon10: I believe so.
and also show best tactics based on CA of players in your squad ?
those two would be nice additions
Many thanks, keep up the good work mate.
A little feedback.
I can't import the shortlists created in Genie Scout 17 into FM 17
It is a really good way of filtering away unrealistic transfers, when starting out with a low-level team.

GS17g new build 703 is now available. Changelog.
@coaxial: Check emails again. If there's nothing there, message me & I'll pass you the link.
@rohimat: You could wait for the public version next month. Or email Eugene to ask for alternatives.
