Hi,
I still play FM21, so it's from previous version. I don't know if it's the same in recent versions.
To keep the game a bit more realtistic to me, I don't scout, I leave that department to my chief scout or director of football. The thing is, whenever I want them to search for a specific position and type of player, only in very rare occasions they find someone. Most of the short-term focus assignments reports com with 0 players. It's so frustrating.
Does the same happen to you, either in older or recent versions?
