For Clubs
Recruitment and season analysis carried the week. Recruitment Priorities now shows the actual player filling each position beside the squad-wide number, so mirrored roles like left and right back no longer read as identical figures. The bigger win is coverage: clubs whose Insights page used to come up blank now render full season analytics, adding over a thousand clubs. Scouting also grew into a single section with new spend benchmarking and a five-year transfer history.
Added
- Scouting: a new spend popup shows how your incoming fees rank against the rest of your league, with a league-average fallback when you have no priced arrivals.
- Scouting: a new Signed From tab maps where the clubs in a league actually recruit their players.
- Scouting: a new History sub-tab lays out your last five years of transfers as a sortable table and a world map, highlighting value-gaining regular starters.
- Recruitment Priorities: each position now shows the current player filling it next to the team-wide average, so mirrored roles no longer look identical.
- Season Overview: a new what-if slider lets you drag any metric and watch your projected points move with it.
- Contracts: the player stats modal now shows a red "Contract expired" badge, and the roster tile separates already-expired contracts from those expiring soon.
Changed
- Season Overview: the Graphs scatter trend lines are now fitted across thousands of team-seasons rather than inferred from a handful of local dots.
- Recruitment Matching: clubs and agents now see the same fit percentage for a player, and the match view gains a country map, position filters and clearer scoring explanations.
- Recruitment Priorities: the suggested-players panel now adds watchlist shortcuts, transfer-window hints and budget-aware filtering.
- Recruitment Priorities: goals conceded and clean sheets are now shared across goalkeepers, centre-backs and full-backs instead of credited to the goalkeeper alone.
- Targets: the compare tab now searches players by name across every league instead of browsing one league at a time.
Fixed
- Insights: clubs whose season stats page used to come up blank now show full analytics, adding coverage for over a thousand clubs.
- Insights: the Reputation tab, which was always empty, now shows club reviews.
- Season Overview: goals, shots, clean sheets and assists now reflect the most complete match count instead of freezing at an early-season total.
- Recruitment Priorities: the what-if projection now uses the real season length and a realistic points ceiling, so in-progress seasons and top teams project correctly.
- Recruitment Matching: a position with no fitting players now shows an explicit 0% instead of a blank cell.
- Club Needs: the league hover now shows only the trustworthy league-wide average value, dropping the unreliable per-position figure.
- Contracts: an expiry badge now appears on the correct calendar day regardless of your timezone.
For Agents
Evaluation and sharing both got stronger this week. You can now return to recent Fit Check and Simulate Transfer runs, download a projected-performance report to send, and add players who are not yet in our database so they become searchable within minutes. Find Players and Unsigned also merged into a single Players tab to settle a recurring source of confusion on calls.

Changed

- Evaluate: the projected-performance report now prints almost instantly, and quick evaluations and fit checks load noticeably faster.
- Evaluate: Top Destinations now excludes clubs whose squad economics sit far from the player's value, keeping recommendations realistic.
- Share: the two share options are now labelled Detailed Report and Player Card, each with switches for the external profile link and highlight video.
Fixed
- Evaluate: the "played only X games this season" banner now adds up all of a player's spells in a season and shows their real club instead of "Unknown".
- Import: the add-player widget now resets when you reopen it, instead of greeting you with a stale in-progress message.
- Share: the player card now appears above the highlight video in card view.
