The rather excellent FM Genie Scout 2009 has been released for download, either from the Genie site (which is down as I write this) or from the equally excellent FM Scout site.
The interface has been completely re-designed, and bears more than a few similarities with the latest version of Microsoft Office. Not necessarily a bad thing, and it seems to work fine against the saved game I have to hand. I have noticed one or two glitches and it disappointingly doesn't seem to provide the option of viewing or searching on a player's current/potential rating, instead focusing on the calculated effectiveness percentage. In theory this is a more accurate reflection of ability, but I must admit I prefer using the rating allocated within the game as a starting point.
But if you're after the most effective way of scouting new players you should definitely give it a try.

Due to personal reasons I am not be able to support the project anymore.
The latest version of the FM Genie Scout 2009 you can download here.
Hmmm, that's a shame. He did get a lot of stick though so it wouldn't surprise me if he shut the site down but kept working on Genie.
