About
Built out of a love for the beautiful game. And a slightly unhealthy obsession with Football Manager.
ChiefScout is independent, personal and built by one person who wanted a better way to scout.
Why it exists
A scouting table of my own.
ChiefScout began with the desire to explore saves differently, to discover connections between players and to make recruitment more enjoyable. It is not a company pretending to be bigger than it is. It is one football fan building the scouting tool they wanted.
It supplements the manager’s decisions.
Guiding principles
What guides ChiefScout.
Discovery should be exciting
The best part of a save is the player nobody else noticed. ChiefScout exists to make finding them feel like a find.
Better information, your decisions
ChiefScout supplies context and evidence. Which player to sign, and why, is your call.
Trust matters
Your save stays on your Mac and is read, never written. Where something is unknown, ChiefScout says so.
Keep football fun
It is a game. A scouting tool should add curiosity, not homework.
The journey so far
From scouting table to connected workspace.
The scouting table
It began with a simple wish: explore a save differently, and see players the default screens never surfaced.
Connections
Discovering who a player knows, and who they would join, turned out to be as interesting as their attributes.
A connected workspace
Needs, candidates and shortlists grew into one recruitment workspace that remembers where you left off.
