Saxondale Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 Apologies if already posted. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28738388 Premier League clubs are to use the database of computer game Football Manager to help recruit new signings. Game creator Sports Interactive will provide information for Prozone Recruiter, an online analysis tool used by many clubs to scout talent. The Football Manager database will supply biographical, contractual and positional details to Prozone. "The database is a highly accurate and valuable resource," said Prozone chief executive Thomas Schmider. "It will further enhance the recruitment services that we provide." Prozone conduct performance analysis and will use the game's information in their system, which aids clubs in their player recruitment. Football Manager studio director Miles Jacobson added: "For years we've heard stories of real-life managers and scouts using our data to help with the recruitment process. "From now on, it's official. Real managers around the world will be finding and comparing players using data and a search system that will be very familiar to players of Football Manager."
SemperEadem Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 Swear Everton started using it or had some deal with them about having acess to the games database.
Adster Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 Hopefully this means big Nige will sign Hervin Ongenda, Leon Goretzka, Pedro Obiang and Abel Hernandez
Dan Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 Great. Now qpr will sign sascha horvath For six thousand?
Haydos Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 It's basically a free scouting system. Most bigger clubs will already be aware of and keeping tabs on the most promising 15/16 year olds anyway.
Dan Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 My arse. They're more likely to sign Andreas Ivanschitz.
Webbo Posted 11 August 2014 Posted 11 August 2014 I totally believe this. I also think Gary Lineker eats nothing but Walkers Crisps.
