Scouting Methodology
A clean, structured approach to player recruitment, from initial need to final recommendation.
01 - Recruitment Need
We begin by understanding the problem the club needs to solve. This may include replacing a departing player, improving squad depth, succession planning, finding competition for an existing starter or identifying future talent.
02 - Player Specification
Before searching for players, we define the profile required. This considers tactical role, technical qualities, physical requirements, positional responsibilities, age profile, preferred foot, versatility and development potential.
03 - Evidence
Players are assessed using the strongest evidence available. This can include full-match video scouting, performance data, live observation and verified background information. Data supports the scouting process rather than replacing football judgement.
04 - Player Assessment
We analyse how the player actually performs the required role. Assessments consider strengths, limitations, tactical suitability, decision-making, technical execution, physical qualities, current level and future projection.
05 - Market & Financial Context
Football ability is only one part of recruitment. Where information is available, we consider contract status, likely availability, estimated acquisition cost, wage context, registration considerations, competition for the player and potential future value.
06 - Risk
Every recruitment decision carries risk. We consider factors such as tactical fit, transition between competitions, development uncertainty, availability history, adaptation, financial exposure and the strength of the available scouting evidence.
07 - Recommendation
Our work concludes with a clear evidence-based recommendation and suggested next step. Players may be categorised as Pursue, Shortlist, Monitor, Development Option or No Action depending on the evidence and the client's requirements.
