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 FM24 Beta. Then fix any bugs reported. And ultimately try to add a couple of new features for Eugene's direct supporters.
FM Genie Scout 24 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 Sunday, November 26th.
"g" edition
The "g" edition, which is the one for people who donate, is available since 19 October (beta 1).Build 1404 was released on November 14th and is compatible with the 24.1.1 patch.
You can now donate for GS24 "g" edition.
Do not report bugs in the comments below!

Discussion: FM Genie Scout for FM24 is confirmed
162 comments have been posted so far.
New roles (IFB) older roles (IW) still not included. Interesting that Stam has deleted his comments on here about them being updated once the full releaae has come out and that there is no communication that this is being worked on with the release 1402 build.
Set piece staff attributes not included so can't search for set piece coach
Staff roles incorrect to what is in game
The date in genie scout (bottom right of app) is incorrect it reads 12/07/2023 when date in game is 03/07/2023
Will these be worked on/fixed? Some issues have run over multiple years.
Thank you
GS24g build 1402 is now available.
- Compatible with 24.1- Compatible with 24.1 Game Pass
- Compatible with 24.1 Console
- Nation search fixed
- Region search fixed
- EU-Member filter search fixed
- Regen filter search fixed
- GS STATS player history added
- GS STATS transfer statistics added
- Other minor fixes
The new version will also support the Game Pass / MS Store edition of the game. And all the crucial bugs will get fixed. I also gave him a list of all your reports and requests, so he can improve GS further using your feedback.
I'm guessing this is related to all the other issues as well, but figured I'd flag it.
(I'm Windows 11 playing on PC Gamepass if that helps).
That's really sad.
Football Manager 2024 24.1.0+194834
Thanks xD
Currently on version 1.0 24.0 beta 1, build 1401
I know the full game just released, I'm not expecting an immediate update, just curious if there's been any new versions inbetween and is this error happening to anyone else (or is it expected)?
I was fine with 23 but 24 seems to be getting me this wonderful error on load up.
I am aware I am running a 450k player data base but even FM with the kits, faces, etc is running at just shy of 4gb and I am finding GS topping out at just shy of that as well - Checking my bench marks at the point of the software crashing I still have about 36% of RAM to play with on the PC.
32gb of RAM is more than capable of handling this amount of information - Even when I shut down the PC and restart to reset the RAM expenditure and don't open another single app other than FM and GS it still throws up the error.
Not exactly wanting to run a smaller database considering I know this rig can handle the stress of it but apparently I am going to be forced to do this.
Anyway - My main question is in however many years when my 100k database then suddenly hits 500k or something with newgens, staff, etc - Is GS going to once again throw this error up and once again be unsable for me?
Overall I do love GS it's helped me out many a time but I think the old school framework of the software is holding it back nowadays.
I've been paying for Genie Scout for many, many years and this is the first time that I'm hesitant. I really want to see the problems fixed so it can go back to being the indispensable FM scout program it used to be <3
Missing Roles:
As @charmander pointed out, no updates on this regard for a long time. Yes, there are ways to overcome this, but they are a pain to set up.
UI Improvements
Simply put, it looks like an Windows XP program. No option to sort players on loaded shortlists, no quick reset filter button, no option for dark skins (as it feels like working on excel).
Quick access taps
If i want to know who is the best player for a particular position on the world, well, you have to manually set every parameter on the filter and there is no way to save that. We need a feature that filters out all best players for a role, or just to save the filtered atributes and stop filling does boxes again and again.
Loading Database
FMSE takes seconds, Ingame-Editor takes nothing. GS takes around 1 minutes every time. This needs to be addressed, has it makes it too difficult to keep track of players and staff transfers.
Dear Eugene, please don't take this as a destructive opinion, after all you take time and effort to continue allowing as to have GS. But it has to be updated if it's behind a pay wall.
Since a new version is upcoming, I once again request Eugene to make the same changes that I ask every year, to ease life for us players, that extensively use GS.
Staff Changes:
Staff attributes such as Judging Staff Ability, Negotiating have still not been added for 4 editions of GS.
Player Changes:
Vision attribute is still wrongly appearing in alphabetical order where the earlier Creativity attribute would appear in Player Search, Player Profile and Player Rating Coefficients.
Consistency, Dirtiness, Important Matches, Injury Proneness and Versatility still appear under Mental and Physical attributes, instead of Hidden Attributes in Player Search and Player Rating Coefficients.
Hidden Attributes is still wrongly named as Mental Traits in Player Search and Player Rating Coefficients since Genie Scout 18.
Default player positions in Player Search and Player Rating Coefficients have been the same since Genie Scout 14. Target Man, Fast Striker, etc are no longer being used in game.
Club Changes:
Still unable to search clubs by Junior Coaching, Youth Recruitment.
