How to unlock the Good Knowledge! achievement in Football Manager 2007 - Definitive Guide
Under the 'Search' tab for your team, you should find 'Knowledge'. Send your scouts to the regions which have the lowest amount of knowledge.
Knowledge is also gained from the nationality of the scouts, as well as club connections to foreign clubs (feeder clubs / parent clubs).
**EDIT** - I just reached 75% knowledge worldwide, (76 in fact), and the achievement still hasn't popped.
**EDIT** - Okay, so the achievement popped literally 2 minutes after that edit. But I was still on 76% when it popped, so don't worry if you hit 75% and you havn't got the achievement yet.
Please either comment below or send me a Personal Message if you have any comments or improvements.
When you look at your 'knowledge' menu, scroll down until you see regions with minimal knowledge and send scouts there.
I can't remember how many seasons it took me, but if you continue to do this whilst going for other achievements, you will get the achievement eventually.
Then post an advert at the job centre looking for scouts,once applicants have been found sign as many as possible-depending on how many your board will let you have and then once they have accepted your contract offer send them all individually to different continents for a month lookng for players. Once they return send them somewhere else you haven't scouted-will probably take a couple of seasons depending on how many scouts you can have-i've got 12 at Utd.
So I want to add that I bought only world class scouts but one retired and I had to get one continental scout. I did this with Eastleigh that only allowed me to have 7 scouts. I did this while doing the 10 year at the same club award and the world wide number 1 ranking.
The knowledge they had for different countries kept on going up and down all the time!
The solution is to divide the 20 regions the scouts!
I will show the ones I had below and what they got! And I gave the regions to them that they had already done some scouting for while trying to figure things out. But it was when I did this that it kept on going up. Took me 1 year to get from 55 % to 76 %. Got it on the 11th year with Eastleigh!
The scouts I had and their regions and I kept on repeating their regions and I had the scouts do their work 1-3 months. Starting with 3 months, then 2 and then 1. I believe one or two months at a time is best.
Also press Y to switch to were you add where they are gonna go when you see they have finished a region and then remove it with X so you are able to add it again pending under the ones that they are doing. So you repeat the cycle!
Ok here are the ones I had!
WORLD CLASS SCOUTS: (Did not write down their whole names on my sheet of paper)
1. Gary Worthington = Southern Africa, Central Africa, West Africa
2. Button = East Europe, Central Asia, East Asia
3. Bettega = South America, South East Asia, Oceania
4. Ray = North Africa, Middle East, North America
5. Jimenez = Scandinavia, Central America, South Asia
6. Watson = Central Europe, East Africa, Uk & Ireland
CONTINENTAL SCOUT: (Two times the world class scouts retired on me and I could not get any of the few remaining world class ones, just pick an expensive one).
7. Asmini = Caribbean, South Europe and I let him scout these two repeatedly.
Use a team that allow a maximum of 12 scouts and a few feeder clubs. Simply send your scouts to regions that have either a yellow or no bar at all. Have them scout that region for an unlimited time. Constantly check back since a scout will eventually finish a region, some can take months, some can take days. Once a scout has finished a region have him scout a different region. The regions are Caribbean, Central Africa, East Africa, North Africa, Central America, North America, South America, Central Asia, East Asia, South Asia, Central Europe, East Europe, South Europe, Middle Ease, Oceania, Scandinavia, Southeast Asia, Southern Africa, Western Africa and finally the UK & Ireland. You can access the knowledge page by using the Right Bumper on your pad and clicking on search, then General Knowledge. To assign scouts press RB go to the Search Tab along the top, then Scouting Assignments.
