Suggestions from the FM Scout community

Manager Salary: Investing wages on a club (stadium, players, facilities etc.)

Managing Youth Teams: Being able to start as a manager of under 18’s/under 21 sides

Having the option to control a real life manager

Actual stadiums

Building/choosing your own stadiums

More realistic celebrations after goals/famous celebrations

Pitch invasion after promotion

Morale dropping when facing in-form opponents

Certain stadiums and how full they are should negatively affect player morale for the visiting team

World class striker (e.g. Neymar, Messi) with no angle to score and teammate on the box with nobody marking him… the striker still tries to score kicking the ball straight to the fans

Youth academies around the country and around the world

Set focus for youth academies so they can be more focused on different attributes (e.g. tiki taka style = better passing, movement, balance, etc)

Setting goals/objective for new signings/fringe players

For players not interested to join, you should be able to set out your goals, e.g. will bring in more players your level, will build the team around you, etc

More realistic swap deals

Make offloading unwanted players easier because asking the players to find a new club currently has no result at all

Basic kit changes every season

Staff additions: club doctor, dietician, psychologist

Decrease the frequency of having backup or youth players moaning about their play time

Talk to unhappy players to resolve their concerns before it can affect their performance and the backroom

Address fans after a season or after a loss to rally them

Bring back mind games by randomly talking to the press about any manager

Expand the fans response do something like social media

Interact with agents to build rapports and then they can help convince their players to join your team

Community work and more interaction with the fans, including charity events

New job: Be the interim manager and stay if you can fulfill the board’s requirements

Being able to sign a pre-contract with another club (similar to Pep Guardiola and Manchester City)

Build a coach team (assistant manager, fitness coach, gk coach...) who will join and leave clubs with you

Regen players under the age of 14 joining youth teams

Option to disable newgens or limit the amount they’re being generated

Option to filter out newgens in advanced player search

Competition ratings - The World Cup should be 6 stars. Even though the CL is a huge competition, it cannot be at the same level of importance with a competition that occurs once every 4 years

Training for national teams

Limit sponsorships - negotiate available spaces on the uniform and stadiums... having 43 sponsorship deals for the same season is unreal

Update the Asian market as they have been paying a truckload of cash for players and players are actually going there

Better breakdown of finances for lower league clubs

Keep transfer funds intact - saving money over the course of a few seasons only for it to be 'stolen' by the board over summer and 'given to shareholders'

Ballon D'or Award - The winner is always the highest rating player with good enough reputation despite not winning any trophies

Low potential players with the right guidance and direction could become stars (e.g. Vardy and Mahrez)
