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 FM26 Beta. Then fix any bugs reported. And ultimately try to update all relevant data to reflect the changes in FM26 (e.g. new player roles).

6 days ahead of me
@JrRommel: If you just loaded the save in-game, this might happen. Try to continue to next day for example and then load it on GS. See if that does the trick (I think it should).
@bfcnick: Yes, please use the GS forum.
@lijieneo: The gender filter currently works for player search. We have to deal with daily hotfix updates, which leaves us with no time to make progress with feature updates.
@Blythspartan: I've mapped out all the new roles in FM26 and currently working out the formula for role ratings. It won't arrive in the next update though.
How come I am getting this today? Because of the new update?
