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 FM23 Beta. Then fix any bugs reported. And ultimately try to add a couple of new features for Eugene's direct supporters.
FM Genie Scout 23 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 late November. It usually arrives approximately 4-5 weeks after the "g" edition.Update: Eugene informed me that the public version should be ready on Wednesday, November 30th.
"g" edition
The "g" edition, which is the one for people who donate, is available since 20 October (beta 1). Current version (beta 4) is compatible with the 23.1.0 version of FM23 on Steam, Epic and Game Pass.You can now donate for GS23 "g" edition.
Do not report bugs in the comments below!

Discussion: FM Genie Scout for FM23 is confirmed
115 comments have been posted so far.
@Eblanco: Not sure what you're trying to say. Is some role missing?
@Wezco: Have you tried using it in an online save to check it's actually working there?
@NIKO: Compatibility with the FM Console will be added, but not tonight. Eugene is waiting for the next patch to do it.
@LuisBranco: The public edition is free. You don't need that if you have the 'g'.
@sneijder: I've answered your PM.
Ability an error when click on Show potential attributes
I paid for the G version. My question is if I need to pay again for the public version.

In-Game Scout: The feature is inconsistent and Eugene still hasn't found a way to make it stable for everyone. The main problem is that he's unable to replicate the issue.
Unique ID: You can find that in Genie Scout, open the main menu (top left corner, click on the big circle icon) and then go to Help & Support > Donate. While public GS23 is not available, you can use ANY older GS to find it.
Key file is not found: Simply move the key file (that you received from Eugene via email) to the installation folder of Genie Scout. Search results in 'g' edition will look funny without the key.
Haven't received key: Check spam just in case. Sometimes that email ends up there because it's an attachment of an unknown file type. If after 24 hours you haven't received anything, message Eugene directly at [email protected] - there's a chance of a typo in the email during donation.
I changed computer: That means your unique ID will be different and your old key won't work. You need to email Eugene, pass him your new ID and he will provide you with a new key.
FM Console: That is currently an unsupported version. GS23 works with Steam, Epic and Game Pass.
GS for Mac: It's not compatible and currently there are no plans to create a version for Mac users.
@Samaroy: I've messaged Eugene to ask. Will update this once I hear back.
@pirru: You can search for specific roles but only in the 'g' edition.
@Madock: A delay more than 1 day is not common. Chances are you made a typo when filling out your email or your email ends with .pl (we have trouble delivering to such addresses). Feel free to send me a PM, so I can assist you further.
@EvandroRoncatto: What problems are you referring to exactly? From the additional features that the 'g' edition comes with, only In-Game Scout is inconsistent (doesn't always work for everyone).
@zhinfm: I use Steam version and never had this problem. Make sure you have FM open and your save loaded in it, before trying to load the game in GS.
@Jensen10DK: You can disable In-Game Scout by unticking the checkbox for that in Options.
Also is there instructions on how to use? Thanks
