Released: 10 Nov 2009 RC 1 build 110

Donate to get the "no ads" version
Since v1.0 Genie Scout comes in two versions. One with ads and one with no ads. In order to get the "no ads" one you'll have to donate to Eugene first, using the donation form on Genie homepage here.
Important: FM Scout (the site) is not involved in the donations towards Eugene, neither has any responsibility delivering the ad-free version to you after donation. This is a process handled solely by Eugene himself, so it could take some time until your donation is processed.
How to run:
* Download the zipped archive and extract it anywhere.
* You'll get a folder named "FM Genie Scout 10". Open it.
* Double click on FMGenieScout.exe
* Load your savegame... you don't need to have FM open of course.
That's it! No frameworks required.
If you're using RC1, your savegame needs to be uncompressed to load in Genie.
So, while you are in FM, make sure you un-tick "Compress Save Games" in Preferences page and hit Confirm. After that, save your game again. Now you are ready to load it up on FM Genie Scout 10!

anyway, it's pretty much accurate for me, but is not the only thing that matters for a good player. consistency, important matches, injury proneness, natural position, adaptability to team's tactics and happiness level are some of the aspects you should pay attention to.
I run the game through steam, so it is compatible, it does take it's time loading results but that's just my save game since i've seleced more than 40 leagues in 12 different nations ;)...as for the adds it's not been a big problem yet.
I have a lot of respect for the creator of this, it sounds crap giving thanks when i should be donating, but i will eventually ;).
the way they are working is pretty annoying.
I mean when I check a player a window opens with your sponsors. If it would happen only one time, thats ok, but it's happening every time I check a player's attributes and opens a lot of windows in my browser.
Keep up the good work!
someone said it would be on by the weekend but not published yet. Im looking forward to the new version desperately....

Genie Scout = FM's Google
I just downloaded the latest version of FM Genie Scout for my FM2010 version 10.2. But I can't run the program. Even when I want to run it as an administrator, it can't be open. Windows will be closing the program. Can anyone help me? Thanks.. :cry
Sorry for my english, I'm argentine
The ability is just an indication, not a proof. You may find players with limited ability that can be better than others with high ability. It's also very important to check the player attributes for consistency and important matches.
