I know Football Manager is not everyone’s thing. They do have an extensive network of scouts and generally have a good hit rate in identifying the top young players in the world.

Anyhow, the new 24 game came out and they have Mikey Moore as one of the best wonderkids in the game. They have him reaching Bellingham and Pedro levels. Rated the same as Endrick and only the young kid at Barcelona is ahead of him. I know he was highly rated by Spurs but didn’t realize his reputation was that high in the footballing world.

We can but hope! Lol.

Their scouting and analytics has always been impressive, but you know, Cherno Samba, Freddy Adu, and others suggest it's always hard to predict whether a 16-year-old will make it.

Yes, I love watching him play, amazing for his age.
He looked epic in the few minutes he came on against us in preseason and ran rings around Regi. Huge talent, he'd get straight into our first team I reckon.

Would be expecting that Zaire-Emery to be up there too. Unbelievable for a 17 year old.

To be fair, back then it was wallies like me doing the research. Yes, really. I was a Spurs scout for FM back then.

I actually look forward to these live youth matches almost as much as the seniors. It's great to see this team play together and to see the individual development.

I’m abroad at the moment, is there any where in the world showing this game apart from spursplay?

Football manager don't use scouts, they have "researchers" that are just regular FM players that have applied to do it. @Sevens on here used to be the one for Spurs, not sure if he still is.

There are also rules on how many "points" you can attribute to your players which is based on where your team finish in the league and certain stats (e.g. Acceleration and Pace) use more points than other attributes. So you really should only take there stats with a pinch of salt.

I remember they had Bale's acceleration and Pace at around 13 or 14 and Spurs fans where complaining it was way off on the SI forums and they didn't change it higher until after the Inter Milan game.

1-0 up. Veliz first goal!

Ball crossed in by Donley after being played through by Santiago and Alejo meets the cross with a header to put us in the lead.
