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.
Didn't do any research personally, but there's certainly more than one thing determining player's interest in joining your club. That would be: player reputation, player loyalty (hidden attribute), player ambition (also hidden), reputation of the league (and continental cups your club participates in), club reputation and personal relationships (if he likes your club, you or some players that play in your club). Maybe there is some kind of fixed formula behind all of this but it's unknown to public.
I would presume it would be some sort of equation between:
1. Current Club reputation vs target club reputation 2. Current League reputation vs target League reputation (and future, taking promotions/relegations into account) 3. Player reputation 4. Player happiness 5. Some attributes (Loyalty, Ambition, Professionalism, Adaptability, Pressure - This interacts with most other scenarios involving player happiness, if they aren't getting playtime, club was relegated, contract expiring, wants a new challenge, club isn't matching ambitions, pressure from interest demonstrated by other clubs etc.) 6. Current city attractiveness vs target city attractiveness (I presume this is calculated based on which city the main stadium is located) 7. Player's transfer status 8. Club's average CA rating vs player's CA rating 9. Player's age 10. Current club's current continental competition vs target club's current continental competition 11. Player's favorite club and personnel 12. Current player's salary vs target club's salary budget (or average salary for Star Player squad status?) 13. Current player's squad role vs target club's hypothetical squad role 14. If leaving due to contract expiring, then target club's whole package vs other hypothetical clubs future interest when user is free (Player wants to wait and see if someone other club will show an interest, rather than immediately signing for target club)
EDIT: Because very few of these things are directly influenceable by the player (as opposed to which tactics, training or players are better), testing this would not be useful for the vast majority of players.
