Sports Interactive and Sega have launched FMdB Football Scout, a mobile app that brings Football Manager's exhaustive database to phones and tablets.
Billed as the "definitive football companion app", FMdB lets you browse the footie management sim's 500,000+ player database, and lets you examine stats such as age, position, preferred foot and players' strongest roles within their team.
The app also identifies each player's current out-of-100 rating, and their potential ability down the line. Likewise, contract details showcase estimated wages, and when said player signed and might leave their respective club. Here's how Celtic's ever-improving 21-year-old left back Kieran Tierney shapes up:
All of this is free, but an in-app subscription service—£0.99 per month, £1.99 per three months, and £4.99 per 12 months all follow a seven-day free trial—offers extra information on player attributes and history minus ads.
"Discover the next wonderkid before he's a household name and scout the players that your team should be g," reads the 50 best Football Manager 2018 wonderkids. I reckon I'll use the app during the World Cup, with the hope of snagging a few incoming stars in-game thereafter.
The FMdB Football Scout app is available for iOS devices, and will feature on Android soon.
