Everton to use football manager database to scout players

[MrMichael]

So by buying the game you're indirectly helping Everton - nice.

Piracy ftw

It is amazing how many real players those playing FM know each year as the dead-cert wonderkids do actually turn out to be something in real life years later. However many of them also turn out to have been poo. Tonton Zola Moukoko anyone?

Yep. Tis true. I remember 'discovering' Javier Saviola many years ago. As you say so many kids spotted by FM scouts progress to become top players. I suppose you could argue "if you throw enough darts...", as the likes of Moukoko testify, but still their scouting network is pretty incredible.

Cherno Samba

What the hell happened to him? I remember signing him in 01/02 and he was amazing, then IIRC he wasn't even in the next game?

Some of the best players used to be just made up though didnt they?
Anatoli Todarov for example...scored every single game for me, legend of the game. Not real. Gutted I was.

means **** all, they still have to persuade the player/s to sign for Everton!

i think both his parents died in a car accident when he was young and he went off the rails

oh and cherno samba would have played for liverpool if it wasnt for injuries
