How will that work logistically? Genuine question. Do we have a team of analysts in the background crunching the numbers and making recommendations to Cook? |  |

Very glad that they won’t be using a ZX Spectrum - they’ll spend half a day loading it up only to have a ‘tape loading error’ filling the screen.
Actually thinking about it maybe that’s how we ended up with the players we have/had. Someone couldn’t be arsed to try loading it up again and simply guessed that they were good players. |  | | |

I think it's just playing Football Manager for a few years and seeing who turns good. I've applied for a job. | | | |

Not sure, but I hope it's up and running before we fill ourselves up with mid/late-20s L1/L2 "prospects"...I think I remember that happening in a nightmare I once had... | | | |

It's going to be the new "Mick only signs Irish players" isn't it? |  |

That'll definitely be a part of it, our analysts will spend a lot of their time understanding our own performances, slicing and dicing the games, coding them up and sitting with the players to work through where they could learn and things they did well and not so well. They'll also do analysis into opponents which feeds into matchday tactics. But player scouting is quite different and either something that will sit with them during the pre season, or there will be dedicated resource for it, I'm not sure how it works at Town.
They'll be using tools like WyScout which is a platform I've used a lot, it's a popular one certainly in the football league. It's really interesting looking at the granular level statistically. WyScout for example applies quite complex formulas to 'grade' performances, and all the data can be cut however you see fit. There's a number of times when the naked eye sees things quite differently, rightly or wrongly. Judge had very favourable stats for us in our relegation season which would probably surprise many. Perhaps that's what peaked QPR's interest, or more likely that was Warburton having worked with him at Brentford. Or a combination of both.
Stats will only ever paint part of a picture, but it can help to identify players that are then worth looking at further. Its huge business though, look at someone like Steve Walsh and the value he created at Leicester. He identified Vardy, Kante, Mahrez etc. [Post edited 11 May 2021 13:52]

I seem to remember Joe Royke saying when doing a Radio 5 slot once that Everton had looked at players on on football manager one season |  |

Imagine the bar is very very low so anything will be an improvement. Wonder how Cook, who strikes me as old school go and scout a player himself, will work with the system. | |

Pretty sure Everton officially use the FM database as a scouting tool. I mean they did sign Ibrahima Bakayoko after all. |  |
