Shadow DirectorFrançaisScout
He does not improve the first team: each level adds 2 potential points to the youngsters spotted for the academy.
His effect only shows in the medium term, when those youngsters come through.
What each level brings
| Level | Effect | Wage / month | Access |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2 potential when spotting youngsters | €20,000 | Free |
| 2 | 4 potential when spotting youngsters | €25,000 | Free |
| 3 | 6 potential when spotting youngsters | €35,000 | Free |
| 4 | 8 potential when spotting youngsters | €45,000 | PRO |
| 5 | 10 potential when spotting youngsters | €65,000 | PRO |
| 6 | 12 potential when spotting youngsters | €85,000 | PRO |
| 7 | 14 potential when spotting youngsters | €110,000 | PRO |
| 8 | 16 potential when spotting youngsters | €145,000 | PRO |
| 9 | 18 potential when spotting youngsters | €195,000 | PRO |
| 10 | 20 potential when spotting youngsters | €260,000 | PRO |
Is it worth levelling up?
The effect rises steadily (+2 per level), but the wage grows by about a third at every level. At level 1 you get 1.0 for €10,000 of monthly wage; at level 10, only 0.8. Levelling up gets more and more expensive for the same gain: the first levels are the most profitable, the last ones are for when money is no longer an obstacle.
When to hire
Worth it for clubs betting on youth development. This role is open from the start. Levels 1 to 3 are free, levels 4 to 10 need the PRO tier. Efficiency also depends on the relationship (0 to 100) you keep with this staff member: high stress, a hostile board or defeats wear it down.
