Since I discovered the LLM way of playing CM, I generally only usually have one scout on my backroom staff, and as a fan of the non league game anyway, I buy the Non League Paper each week. I have found this a useful tool and extension to my scouting network (ie my aforementioned lonely scout) - for example there is a hot shot who has now secured a move to the conference and become a full time pro IRL, who I scouted on CM as he was banging the goals in and making a name for himself, and thought he was worth a look as my strikeforce was lacking firepower, and I had a small amount of transfer funds in the bank. I got my scout on CM to take a look, and ended up signing the player. He didn't really make the grade for me, but if he had I would have found it quite rewarding.
I hope this isn't classed as contravening LLM rules, and just wondered if anyone else uses sources such as the NLP (as its something a LLM IRL would buy religiously, I assume) to assist them

Guidelines, guidelines, not rules. Up to you. Are you totally comfortable with it?

There are those who say that if your scout didn't find him...

Then again..

A difficult call this one.

Your not supposed to consider looking at players you know something about in real life, like maybe someone whos been in the papers.

But, I suppose realisticly a lower league manager would have access to these papers and may read them out of interest or even to look for new talent.

I suppose its like scouting for players yourself and would be quite rewarding if you found a gem, adds a bit more realism to the game.

But no, never tried it myself and probably never will.

I'd say it's an option irl, so it is an option in CM?

I can't see it being a problem, as there is no guarantee that he'll be any good on the game. I wouldn't use it myself though, as I don't really follow any real life LL teams. It would be a waste of 50p, which I could use to buy chocolate biscuits with

Da Bird, just because it's a real life option doesn't mean it's an LLM option.

The thing is, loyalwolvesfan, you scouted him, he was recommended so you've pulled off a last minute save in my opinion

Like the guys say, wouldn't do it myself, but if you think it's realistic...

do it, but its a total waste of time because a lot of the lower league players have fairly random stats and wont be anything like these players you see in the paper

Well said Mr Toille

You give credence to what they print in the NLP??? Sheesh. You get what you deserve.
