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.

Discussion: FM Genie Scout for FM18 is confirmed
138 comments have been posted so far.
Only a nationality is appearing in the players.
In the search system you do not have the option to search the player for the continent.
Another thing I miss is the search system for community players.
Do you anticipate when this will be resolved?
I event mailed to [email protected] for help, but receive nothing up to now.
@Stam: Can you please help my case?
Many thanks
If its good enough, it can make me change my idea and buy GS again in 18
To prepare the future logopack TCM18, your GS tool helped me a lot.
Indeed, being able to create a list of clubs by nations, it allowed me easily to take stock of missing clubs.
But some small points could help me more, if it can be part of your development plans of course, just suggestions (that you must receive among so many others I guess).
1 : IDs are separated from one space every thousand. (Example : 5 001 001)
It would be easier to remove spaces (for me ^^) (Example : 5001001)
2 : "Extinct" clubs can't be separated. In addition, when a club (extinct or not), has no division affected, it's the "Jupiler Pro League" which is automatically.
3 : Finally, would it be possible to filter clubs by division? Moreover, sorting by division hierarchy would be a little more.
Here are some improvements and bugfixes that would greatly facilitate the task, even if it is only available in version "g", I have already paid once, I can do it again to thank the work done.
I know that too with my logopack, and it's always nice to feel supported (even financially)
TY
