Can any ed tell me how to become a scout? I've always been interested but have never thought how it works.

{Ed001's Note - the official FA website is the best place to start. You can get your level 1 in scouting on there free and see if you want to go further from there.}

Thanks Ed I’ll give it a look. What do you generally think of the job of scouting?

{Ed001's Note - underpaid and undervalued in the main.}

Be nice if you could work as a freelance on a percentage, say 1% of all future transfer fees and wages! Now there is incentive to spot the next Messi or Ronaldo or even a Rob Holding or Jamie Vardy wouldn't leave you struggling for holiday funds :-)

{Ed002's Note - But you realise the reality is a long way from that.}

Yes I realise that totally Ed002, and even if it was like that for every player you spotted that was taken on there would be several thousand who were rejected.
It's like everything else in fantasy football a nice dream but a totally unrealistic one that is fun to imagine as long as you don't start confusing it with reality :-)

To become a scout don't you just have to be about 10 and say dib dib dib a lot?

I think helps Epping mate but at a bob a job early retirement isn't an option:-)
