FM Genie Scout has always been the world's favorite scout utility for Football Manager since its very first version.
We pride ourselves on exclusively releasing this legendary tool since 2009. As always we try our best to deliver Genie Scout to the world every year because your support to this project is outstanding.
Besides the "g" only features that already exist, Eugene is preparing a major new feature for Genie Scout 18g, providing in-depth player development knowledge based on the history of thousands of games.

I donated for genie scout, I download it about three weeks ago, but now my hdd is damaged and I have a new one. So I lost genie scout.
How can I download it again, because the url in my email is for an old version and there is no file to download.
@danjackaman: It's not broken. The first season is 16/17 because in certain leagues (e.g. Brazil), the season begins in 2016. Go to "Value" tab and you'll find what you need there.
@duleejohnson: You can find your Unique ID from an older Genie Scout, such as GS17.
Introducing the brand new feature GS STATS: in-depth statistics based on the data collected on over a few thousands of games.
A dedicated news article on GS STATS will arrive soon.
sorry for bad english
Now the "Top lists" function does not work anymore, I get "Access violation" error messages every time :-(
Can't wait using FM genie scout!
@timunic39: End of November.
@IchimV79: Contact Eugene, pass him your new unique ID; he will provide you with a new key.
