News - FM Genie Scout for FM20 is confirmed
I'm delighted to announce that Eugene is working on Genie Scout 20, the new version for Football Manager 2020.

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.

Our aim is to update Genie Scout "g" edition to be usable for the FM20 Beta. Then fix any bugs reported. And ultimately try to add a couple of new features for Eugene's direct supporters.

FM Genie Scout 20 Release Date

Public edition

While we can't give you a firm date for the release of the public version, we should be able to release it towards early December. It usually arrives approximately 4-5 weeks after the "g" edition.

Update: Eugene informed me that the public version should be ready by December 10th.

"g" edition

The "g" edition, which is the one for people who donate, is available since 31 October (beta 1). Current version (beta 14) is compatible with the 20.2.0 version (for FM20 and FM Touch).

You can now donate for GS20 "g" edition.
Do not report bugs in the comments below!



Genie Scout 20g Explained

The "g" edition is ad-free and has certain features compared to the public edition.
More specifically:
  • GS Stats (new since 18g)
  • In-Game Scout
  • Role Ratings
  • Probability of Development
  • Progress Rate
  • Top Players list
  • Facepack/Kit support

Is there a way to test this "g" edition?
Yes! If you still have FM19 installed, you can try the "g" edition of Genie Scout 19 for free. It's not a trial, it's 100% unlocked forever.


How can I get Genie Scout 20 public edition asap?

The public edition of GS20 will be directly added to fmscout.com the moment it is ready.

But we can notify you via email when this happens, so you won't miss time at all.
So make sure to sign up for our newsletter today.

It's expected for release sometime at the end of November; no specific time has been set though.

    Hi I do not get genie scout started due to the new patch. Can we update Genie?
  • Stam's avatar
    About the shortlist issue, Eugene is trying to replicate this. It would be helpful for him if you could explain some more details about the issue in the GS forum if possible.

    @ewieh: Probably tonight.

    `this seemed to work for me for now..


    ''
    What I did was unticking "Use caching to decrease page loading times" in preferences, after that I also reloaded the skin and it worked, I didn't restart Genie Scout or FM it was working right after this.''

    In-Game scout does not work for me, does anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it? I followed all the steps to set it up, but I do not see any (i) button near the name of the player. Please help

    I keep getting an error message when trying to install the new update of G. It says "An error occurred while trying to replace the existing file: Delete file failed; code 5. Access is denied"

    I've tried retrying, aborting and ignoring but no luck.

    Any ideas?

    @Stam do you know if Eugene is looking at the loading of shortlists. I can occasionally load in-game shortlists but usually it doesnt work. It is a real pain.

    Quick update:
    1) Eugene is still working on ironing out some minor issues. IGS seems to have inconsistent behavior for various users (e.g. not kicking in or causing unnecessary delays), but he's not able to replicate these problems.
    2) The public version should be expected at any time during the first half of December.
    3) As always you can find your unique ID from an older GS version, such as GS19, GS18, etc. Just make sure it's on the same computer.
    4) When getting wrong data it means there's a problem with your key file. Most common scenario is that you changed computer, so the unique ID doesn't match the key. You simply need to email Eugene and pass him your new ID.

    @teletubbies: About build 1013 leading to a 404 not found for some users was due to adding an extra download server to our setup and file didn't exist there for half a day. It was sorted.
    @jeffchua: Any chance an antivirus/firewall app is causing this?
    @vads: Yes.
    @arm_devil_12: Grab the latest build 1013.

    How well is this working at the moment, don't mind donating to get the full version but only if it's fully working?
  • teletubbies's avatar
    version 2013 URL is 404 not found
    What happened?
  • RandydeB's avatar
    @klaus: ingame scout is Work In Progress it kicks in at the weirdest moments.
    and at some point with the updates GS gets it will be working again as intended

    @sabor that might be an issue with your key file if you changed or reinstalled your computer the key is no longer vaild, normally the incorrect data is a key issue

    Hello, last couple of days i got some problems with GS.After I load the game all of the players it found are listed as GK. Also, in the attributes window the potential/current attributes are shown reversed. I uninstalled the program a couple of times but nothing changed.

    I already deleted previous versions of Scout, although I have used (and donated) for many years, so I do not have access to my unique ID - any work around this?
  • vads's avatar
    If I've donated for a previous version of Scout (version 2017), do I have to donate again for 2020?
