Player Discovery

DON'T JUST SEARCH FOR PLAYERS.
SEARCH FOR THE PROFILE YOU NEED.

Scout Pro lets recruiters define the type of player they're looking for using role-specific recruitment benchmarks — then search the available player universe based on those requirements.

Role Benchmarks

BUILD YOUR SEARCH AROUND THE ROLE.

Scout Pro contains 54 role-specific benchmark profiles. Players are evaluated against the characteristics required for the role — rather than relying on generic overall ratings.

Pressing ForwardBall-Playing Centre BackInverted Full-BackProgressive 6Creative WingerNumber 10Complete ForwardSweeper Keeper

Example benchmark card

Every player is scored against the benchmark for the role — with metric coverage, data confidence and sample size shown alongside the fit. Benchmark fit is a measure of profile match, not an absolute measure of player quality.

Early-Season Context

BECAUSE 5 MATCHES ISN'T THE SAME AS 30.

Early in the season, performance data can be volatile. Scout Pro adds sample context to benchmark evaluation so scouts can understand whether a player's numbers are based on a very early, early-season or established sample.

The raw benchmark result always remains visible. The early-season adjustment is a contextual overlay on top of it — it never changes the underlying benchmark definition. Raw Benchmark Fit + Early-Season Adjusted Fit + Sample Confidence are shown together.

Data Confidence

KNOW HOW MUCH CONFIDENCE TO PLACE IN THE DATA.

Scout Pro separates benchmark fit from data confidence. Missing data is not treated as zero, and limited samples are clearly identified — with source and freshness shown where available.

AI-SUPPORTED.
SCOUT-LED.

AI supports analysis, comparisons, reporting and recruitment workflows — while keeping the scout at the centre of the decision.

Analysis

AI helps interpret benchmark results and surface patterns in available data.

Reports

AI drafts structured scouting reports from your live notes — you review and edit.

Comparisons

AI highlights the meaningful differences between targets and squad players.

Recruitment Insights

AI summarises strengths, concerns and next steps for the scout to decide on.

Scout Pro is professional recruitment technology — not an AI gimmick. AI assists the workflow; it doesn't claim to know the best player, find the perfect signing, or replace scouting.
