A superstar like Lionel Messi is easy to rate, but it gets tougher further down, or with youngsters. Real-life players won't see their final ratings ( or be able to complain about them) as a number of variables change the end result. When it comes to assigning attributes, it's not like FIFA 21. How Football Manager attributes are decided "So it does need an analytical mind, attention to detail and to be able to take a step back from your own biases as a fan of a particular club." "Not all FM players would make good researchers and not all obsessive fans would make good researchers as they may be too biased," Woodger adds. Sometimes the role even leads to bigger and better things, as in the case of Matt Neil (now a Recruitment Analyst at Salford City) who was given a job on the data analytics team at Plymouth directly as a result of him having researched them for SI. There's a stringent applications process, and many already work in various capacities on the data and recruitment side within clubs. These researchers aren't just hired on the spot though. They are usually an avid supporter of their club and will watch all first-team games, as well as a host of reserves and youth team ones as well. Behind the scenes at Sports Interactive (SI), there are 86 head researchers who cover pretty much every country in the world, with the bigger footballing countries like Germany, France, Spain, Italy and England having two - in England there is one full-time researcher on Premier League duty and another looking at the tiers below.Įach of those head researchers has a team underneath them: the assistant researchers. In the new game there are 350,000 active non-players and players, 60,000 clubs, 50,000 cities and thousands of competitions. "It will hit the million mark in a year or two," Mark Woodger, head of research for Sports Interactive, tells ESPN's Tom Hamilton. Indeed, if the FM database archive was a country, it would sit 160th in the world in terms of population: the number of past and present players, from over 25 years of the computer game series, sits at 925,000 - larger than the population of Fiji and just smaller than Djibouti. Enter FM: a platform built by a network of over 1,300 researchers, working across the world, who can provide information on players in a way that is far more comprehensive than any club could manage on its own.
