14 players that may make the pitch on any given match day. The rest?

They just use the data from the club and other scouts that have watched the games. There's actually 28 players that make the pitch, they might double up. I've never done it, but they haven't made any of that game up at all, all the info comes from the scouting network, prior knowledge and information from clubs. If they made it up, their USP of being 'the most realistic management game' wouldn't be very true would it?

I'm sure if people were really that desperate to know, they could just email SI or tweet Miles Jacobson, they'd probably tell you.

No, there's a maximum of 14 players per team that can make the pitch in any given game. 11 starters and 3 subs. What about the rest of the squad? Particularly clubs that operate a closed door policy? There's a high percentage of players that they aren't going to have access to either during training or on match days. So there has to be a lot of guess work involved.

Which makes 28. You would get double the reports if you had players working on watching the opposition as well as their own team. Not very efficient but could be done if more than one scout was present.

Clubs that operate a closed door policy would still let people from SI come in, they aren't spies giving away tactics and presumably background checks are done on them before hand. They might even just ask for tapes from youth games in order to update the stats they already have.

If they just guessed it all, the game would be totally ballsed up and wouldn't work. You would get false data and players playing in the conference might end up being better than they are.

I can tweet Miles Jacobson if you want, or SI? They might give us an answer?

No need, not that bothered. I know they'll potentially look at both teams in one game. I was using one team in isolation as an example. They'll look at 14 players from say Man City on a match day - What about the rest of the squad? If you have teams that seldom rotate players, they may have a closed door policy with regards to access for training - when would they see the rest of the registered squad?

There's an article in the Telegraph from May last year regarding the England squad and their build up for the Euros stating it was the first time ever Premier League clubs had worked collaboratively and shared player fitness data with England and the FA as it was also regarded as highly sensitive information. So the accurate club information on player fitness and performances will not be same information they are using to construct football manager - I wouldn't have thought.

I'd be sad to see Jake leave but £15M for a midfield player when we have plenty of cover in that area of the field... it's difficult to see that being turned down. Maybe Mason can step up, playing alongside Huddlestone in the middle. I'd rather we sold Meyler, though.
