Yea, I do not consider this to be worthy of a headline feature as it does not change how you play the game (some may argue that it does for the worse), but I find it to be a handy feature for the way I play the game. Scouting or transfers aren't something I do to negate any advantage I might have over AI, but sometimes I miss out on players because we didn't scout well. Whenever my DOF failed to resign a starter or one of my top transfers last year in FM 22, we always ended up settling for a lower-level player. Squad planner lets me be hands-off while still being involved. Moreover, the DOF brings in far more transfers than he did before. The DOF used to only sign players from his scouting network, not directly from players the team scouted. This is not the case anymore. The use of DOF, recruitment meeting and squad planner brings everything together.
