tlm_77 Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 I keep getting random players being added to my shortlist - who's doing this? Scout? Asst man? It's one of many incredibly annoying new things in FM. Is there a setting to turn this off, or is it a bug? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff Ben Kenney Posted November 14, 2020 SI Staff Share Posted November 14, 2020 Have you used the new 'Ask agent about availabitly' option on players? As this will automatically add a player to your shortlist? If you are noticing this when just continuing the game and not after selecting a certain action then upload a save game and we will take a look. Cheers, Ben Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlm_77 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 It must be linked to the scout reports? I almost entirely never have players over age of 23 on my shortlist. I don't even really look at players above 28 I've just checked my shortlist and there are 8 or more players on there I've not even looked at, Pato being one. I guess as he's a free, my scouts have seen that and he may have been one they've recommended me to look at but i just disregard. I've also changed the 'general' scouting to 25 years old max but still getting my shortlist filled with players i'd never consider. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlm_77 Posted November 15, 2020 Author Share Posted November 15, 2020 Oh and yes, i've used the 'ask agent' feature - i like that, but i've not used that for any of the random players appearing on my shortlist Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemonCools Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 I am experiencing the same issue. Players added to my shortlist (seemingly coming from scout assignments), without using the ask agent feature. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor Ilivanov Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 Hey @RemonCools and thanks for the feedback. From Staff > Responsibilities > Scouting, you have this line: Is it set to Don't Shortlist? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemonCools Posted November 30, 2020 Share Posted November 30, 2020 @Viktor Ilivanov; Nope, this is set to 'Indefintely'. But I seem to remember from previous versions that this rule should only apply to players scouted by Manager (ME :)) and not by scouting team. It would be weird to have a scouting team fill your shortlist. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktor Ilivanov Posted December 1, 2020 Share Posted December 1, 2020 Indeed, players should not be added randomly into the shortlist - they automatically do only when "Ask Agent About Availability" option is used, but you already made it clear that it wasn't that Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
