I've never had Genie Scout.

Having a custom DB shouldn't effect Genie Scout though, as the save game is in exactly the same structure still.

You sure it isn't the 12.1 (or whatever it is) update to the game from SI?

That's quite silly, considering how many people (especially the type of people that would use a Genie to "cheat" scout) don't use the default database. And it wouldn't be hard to just make it read from the save game database. Not sure why the original database would be so important.

There's still FMRTE which not only allows you to see potential but also edit things. I don't know if it works with a custom database but most likely it does.

And since we're on this topic..

Alex, why did Chelmsford have so many young Australians with ridiculously high potential? (H)

No idea. I cheat in my own games though.
Lol, I do the same. It's part of the fun for me to have amazing youngsters in my team. Don't really care how I get them.

Didn't, did they? Had that centre back who was a gun, and a left winger. Think that was it. Also that striker who was half English, but played for England. I just went looking for the best young Aussies in the game. :) But just by scouting the world and filtering for Aussies with high potential.

The game seems to create loads of half Aussie/English in my games, and they usually come through an English academy and play for England :(

Gentlemen.



I have made two more signings for depth. Players we'll probably forget about soon, but I didn't have back-ups on LB and RB.




Next up: CSKA Moscow in Vladivostok. I have decided to stick with Shifty*i's formation as the attack has proved to work that way (I stuck by Mier, Mputu and Traore). Traore was unfortunately injured, but Kokorin is a good replacement. I find him to be very active, pressing his defenders and creating chances out of nothing.

CSKA... well, Dzagoev and Honda were on the bench.



Our pure fighting spirit would not let us be intimidated by the team from Moscow; ATTACK!!! ATTACK!!! FORWARD!!!





The fans were clearly impressed and prepared a homage to their leader:



With an approving nudge the leader showed his appreciation.



Kokorin scored 1-0. Unfortunately Vagner Love equalized 5 minutes later. We were every bit as good as them and could've won. Kokorin hit the post twice, GRRRR.





Still, a performance to be happy about. The team from Moscow could not beat us!

That's right. 5 games played; won vs. Dinamo Moscow and Spartak, drew vs. Amkar, CSKA and Terek Grozny. Terrible draw versus Terek. I was leading 0-2, but because of Dzudovic's mistakes (bad pass and he caused a penalty) they came back to 2-2. Meh.

Wow I'm surprised you're competing so well. Some of the big Russian teams have world class players.

Another great away win and still unbeaten. Four wins, three draws, second place behind CSKA on the league table. Mputu, Mier and Traore are on fire. Gotta give credits to ShiftyPowers, his tactic is perfect for this team. Especially the midfield dynamics help the attackers create chances versus stronger opposition. Zyryanov's experience may also have something to do with it, it's working out great so far despite his age. Young Kolomeitsev is playing alongside him and he had his breakthrough game:

Winter update:

Results:


League Table:


Remained unbeaten at home, but got in a bit of a slumb later on in away games because of injuries and suspensions. I missed three starting defenders for a couple of weeks and Lacina Traore is one bad motherf*cker... he got suspended FIVE games at the end November (and it will carry over the winter break). Depth is still a problem for this team, so I decided to make some signings to hopefully keep us at the top this season. Second place (to reach the CL Qualifiers) might be difficult, but I'm definitely aiming for Europa League football (Top 6).

Depth in defense was my main priority. Epureanu and Kombarov will provide quality and experience; players that have competed at the top of the Russian league and will continue to do so:




I also looked at some U21 teams and found this gem in Belarus, the future and present of Luch-Energiya. He will immediately be one of our best midfielders, if not THE best. His name will probably be mentioned a lot in this thread:


Another gem, a player that could be equally important to Luch's future... Lacina Traore's fellow Ivorian Kipre:


Also a young talented goalkeeper that will arrive in the summer:


And this young Czech Svec will arrive on a Bosman:




Merry Christmas, gentlemen, and may Luch-Energiya climb to new heights in the new year.

Oh, we're going for it. Snapped up the transfer listed Pavlyuchenko from Tottenham, I figured he'd make a nice punch of the bench. With a natural fitness of 19 I don't see problems with his age (32 is not that old anyway).




Decided to loan Shiskin from Lokomotiv. Better than anything we had at RB.




The next manager will find a bit of a mess in the Reserves. Young players reject loan deals and are subsequently unhappy and I can't get rid of veterans that just don't cut it anymore for Luch. Some of their contracts expire, though, and it's not like we need the transfer sums.
