I tend to play in lower leagues, so maybe the limited scouting range affects this. But my experience is this that if I create ANY position-specific recruitment focus, I'll get zero hits, even if it's as broad as:
"Find any fullback (anywhere, any age) with a strong left foot and at least 3 stars"
I have never managed to create a recruitment focus for a specific position that returned anything. Without fail they say "We're having trouble finding anyone."
It failed to find any players. Yet, my ongoing Vanarama National League North/South and "All of England" recruitment focuses found all of these guys: https://imgur.com/mWEdtHn
