Hey guys, I’m posting with a quick update on some changes to the FMS Scouting Network. We originally started this extension as a social site for sharing players to improve the communities knowledge. While a few have used the activity area, we feel this extension would benefit more as a site without the social side. Therefore, I’ve spent the day rearranging and redesigning the site. Some of you may recognise the theme and I think it looks quite nice, I’ve also added some extra tabs and the homepage now features a magazine theme which offers a lot of different categories and profiles. The only negative is that you can no longer post updates and share activity with the community unless you are an official scout and write actual posts, but I think this will benefit the site and make it easier to navigate around. Below is a small preview of the new look FMS Scouting Network.
OK, so instead of keeping you here let me just remind you of the Scouting Networks best bits.
- We have over 80 player profiles organised into different categories.
- The site boasts a unique ‘player index’ which includes every single player we’ve profiled organised into one table. The table includes each players asking price, age, nationality, position and club. It also features a search bar for you to narrow down your scouting. If that’s not enough you can also order the table by any of the rows and click on each players name to view their extensive profile.
- We have provided specific pages to order the players by position, helping you find what you’re after with even more ease.
Well that’s it for now, this extension will continue to change and improve over time so why not take peak now and visit our Scouting Network.

Glad you like it mate, I reckon it will also be more attractive to new comers and that was one of the main reasons behind the change. We have so many profiles now its about time we had a site to showcase them better.

Looking good! Are you still open to player suggestions though as we won’t be able to do it now!

I think I recognise the theme… ;-)
It looks really sleek Darren, and I think that the profiles will be showcased much better now, as well as looking much nicer and more professional. :D
P.S. Did you get my e-mail about a future player profile? It was for Abel Hernandez if you didn’t get it.

Thanks Sibo, as for the Hernandez image I did get your email but waited while sorting a few problems and then forgot. Sorry mate, looks like Jake has done it now.

It’s alright, Jake ha done a really good profile that has done my second favourite Palermo player justice. Which is good since the Rosanero are my Italian team. I’ll send you another e-mail once I think of someone that hasn’t been done! :D

Wow, looks very pretty and more tidy too, probably better than the old «facebook»-ish news feed style home page :D
