Follow @FIFAscouting This isn’t a review of the game itself – I haven’t managed to give it a try yet, as a combination of final exams and a dying laptop mean it’ll have to wait. As soon as I do get a chance to try it out, I’ll let you know my thoughts. This article, therefore, is based on my …
Lower League Gems and menu issues
Follow @FIFAscouting A few people have been asking me about whether the Lower League Gems series are still on the site.

Still here! Updates coming in March

Apologies are due
Follow @FIFAscouting You’re probably wondering why there’s been a delay in getting new content up onto FIFA Scouting Tips. I know there’s been a bit of a break in the articles, and for that I have to apologise. At the moment I am studying for a postgraduate degree. A postgraduate diploma in journalism, to be precise.

New gaming site launches
Follow @FIFAscouting I mentioned a few days ago that I was going to launch a new gaming site focusing features. The site was to be centred around taking a measured look at the industry and what was hitting the headlines, probing beneath the surface and the blaring headlines.

Branching out from FIFA Scouting Tips
Follow @FIFAscouting As you know from a a previous article, I have been thinking of integrating more feature/news content into FIFA Scouting Tips. I had a few ideas, and had some really good ones from the community, but in the end I just decided it was not something that would really work on FIFA Scouting Tips. This site is primarily …
