I heard somewhere it had to do with the difference in Reputation between the player and your club, but I'm not sure how accurate that is. Has anyone done any deeper research on this?
The main reason I'm asking is because I've been using FM Scouting Tool 26 (from FM Scout) and that app does not have a Player Interest filter like FM does natively. If there was a way to determine a player's interest within FMST26 that would be perfect for me.

You can't, it's quite annoying and the biggest thing holding it back. That feature (plus saving and exporting shortlists into FM) is what sets Genie Scout apart from the other scouting tools. I really hope that gets added soon, either as an update or as part of a new FM27 version when that game releases.
What I do is setup a filter only showing players with a suitable score for my league, setup additional filters for age group and position, and then add any Transfer/Loan interested players into a shortlist in-game.
By the way, for anyone using Genie Scout 26 the newest update that came out today (August 24) completely screwed up the rating system for Wingers (they are now being rated 10+ points higher than they were before, for whatever reason).
Edit: Based on the dev notes, it seems like this was actually an intentional fix on GS26? Apparently in the previous version Winger ratings were calculated incorrectly.
I'm not really sure what happened but when I tried opening FM26 today (August 13) I keep getting booted because it can't connect to the online server and I got an anti-tampering message. I uninstalled FMSuperScout and then it opened just fine. Was there an overnight update for FM26? I've used the program numerous times before and there's never been an issue.
Would it be possible to have this tool work with the women's database? I'm playing a save with the Tijuana women's team and when I attempt to use it, the tool only loads in the ~500 male players in the database rather than the ~40,000 female players that I actually want to see.

This looks like an FM file, not a Genie Scout ratings file.
This app looks pretty promising as an alternative to Genie Scout. However there's a couple things I'd love to be added in the future.
1) More currency support, particularly USD (it's the one I use when I play). I'd also like the option to change the wage structure to per-year or per-month.
2) Some way to directly read the player list from the Player Database and Shortlist screens like Genie Scout does. Those screens can automatically filter out players uninterested in joining your club, so combining that with your app's metrics would make things way easier.
*3) It doesn't seem to work with the women's database? I tried loading it up and it only loaded in the men.
If I'm playing with a semi-professional team with a limited training schedule, how should I adapt these optimal strategies? Or should I not bother with it until I have access to a full schedule?
Would it be possible add an option to export the Data Analysis screen (mainly for the Score) as a .CSV file? I want to be able to access that number in Excel and cross-reference it with other data.
Is this effect linear? If a player has 12 or 13 for their weak foot (listed as "Fairly Strong" in-game), will they perform a little better than the players with 8 on their weak foot?
Has anyone tried this as a situational "kill off the game" tactic? I noticed it leads the table in Fewest Goals Conceded and was curious how well it did.
Have you tried testing the 'extreme' offensive (most GS) and defensive (least GA) tactics from FM24 as a IP/OOP pair in FM26? I'm curious to see if the IP/OOP system can handle these extremes within the same 'tactic'.
Can be FM24 or FM26. I'm looking for the best ways to best ways to save money on contracts, how to buy players as cheaply as possible, best ways to sell players that don't want to leave, etc.
I'm 100% okay with (and looking for) methods that exploit the AI clubs.
Yarema said: You have to access it through Squad>Overview, then first click the dots on training tile: first dot is 1st team, 2nd u21, 3rd u18 or however the club is structured (it doesn't actually tell you ). And only after you selected the dot you want, click on the whole tile to open it. Yes it's stupid but it's the only way right now that I know of. Expand
This gets you to the Youth training pop-up window, but you can't change the schedules themselves. When you click the tile for the schedules it brings you to the First Team training calendar. You CAN change everything else though (individual training, rest, mentoring within the Youth squad, etc.)

Portal > Calendar > Training > In the far left column click on the name of the training schedule > Create New Schedule (bottom left of pop-up window)
This screen is where you would copy/import FM24 schedules.
When saved, go back to Calendar > Training > click the schedule name > change schedule type (top left button, may be labeled "Pre-Season" or "Tactical" > Custom Schedule > (your schedule).
As far as I'm aware you have to manually add the schedule for every week. You can't copy & paste it.

Choose one of these:
92.45 - [Physical]x2[Attacking]x2
91.01 - [Physical][Match Practice][Attacking][Defending]
After your recent findings, do you think these individual training focuses are still the best ones to use?
((aerial_reach * 100 + command_of_area * 48 + first_touch * 52 + passing * 32 + reflexes * 306 + concentration * 152 + determination * 172 + work_rate * 100 + acceleration * 46 + balance * 32 + agility * 100 + jumping_reach * 56 + natural_fitness * 32 + pace * 56 + stamina * 100 + strength * 32 + technique * 48 + pressure * 46 + professionalism * 30 + flair * 150 - injury_proneness * 150 - dirtiness * 50 - ca * 30)) / 214
Do you plan to include these GK weightings into your latest Genie Scout file?
Use FMST26 (works for FM24 & FM26) and copy paste this into statistics > custom metrics (advanced):
(acceleration * 86.8 + pace * 86.2 + jumping_reach * 46.2 + pressure * 16.7 + dribbling * 14.6 + work_rate * 63.0 + agility * 17.0 + anticipation * 58.2 + composure * 25.6 + stamina * 93.9 + consistency * 14.1 + determination * 30.0 + balance * 13.5 + strength * 1.0 + concentration * 47.3 + finishing * 2.0 + important_matches * 10.2 + natural_fitness * 7.9 + professionalism * 15.0 + ambition * 2.0 + loyalty * 1.0 + aggression * 6.3 + vision * 0.5 + left_foot * 6 + right_foot * 5 - (injury_proneness * (50 / (natural_fitness * 0.85))) - (dirtiness * 32 * (aggression * 0.1))) / 118
Where does the 118 number come from? I'm trying to split up the visible and hidden attributes into two separate metrics for my own use.

Do you have the values for the non-424 positions? (AM, CM, and WB)
