Scout52 Pro Guide

Player Insights

The aggregated profile view for any player with at least one scout report filed — radar charts, characteristics analysis, bio data, and full report history in one place.

Overview

The Player Insights page pulls together every report filed on a player into a single profile view. It is not a live data feed — it is built entirely from the scout reports your team has submitted. The more reports that exist for a player, the richer and more reliable the profile becomes.

You reach it in two ways: by clicking the bar-chart icon next to a player's name on the Professional Overview (Match Report Overview) page, or via a player's Insights link from the Player Database.

Minimum requirement

A player needs at least one submitted professional report before a Player Insights page exists for them. Players with no reports filed won't have an Insights page to open.

Header actions

Two shortcut icons sit at the top right of the page:

Checklist icon
Links to the Player Action Pipeline — for jumping straight from a player's profile into follow-up planning
Layers icon
Links to the Depth Chart — for contextualising the player within a squad structure
Worth knowing

Both shortcuts work best once a player has fuller club and roster data attached. On a newly created player with limited data they may return a "not found" state — this is expected and resolves as the player's profile becomes more complete.

Player header card

The header card shows the player's name, avatar, and club. The club name is a clickable link intended to jump to that club's profile. Below it sits a "Scout Reports (N)" pill button showing how many reports have been filed for this player — tapping it scrolls to the Scout Notes section at the bottom of the page.

Bio and attributes panel

Displays the player's biographical and physical attributes. A pencil icon in the corner of this card lets you edit the bio fields inline — Dominant Foot, Height, and Maturation become dropdowns, and Date of Birth becomes a date picker. Save and cancel icons appear while in edit mode.

Summary stat tiles

Four tiles give a quick read on the depth of coverage for this player:

Age Group Breakdown

Below the tiles, a Report Type Breakdown shows the split between Live Reports (observed in person) and Video Reports, giving context on how the data was gathered.

Unique Scouts matters

A player rated highly by four different scouts across eight weeks carries much more weight than four reports from the same scout in the same month. Unique Scouts and Weeks Tracked are the two numbers that tell you how robust the profile actually is.

Position and Performance Radar

Two components sit side by side in this section:

Mini pitch diagram

Highlights the player's primary position on a pitch graphic. Below it, every position they've been reported in is listed alongside a count of how many times — useful for identifying players who have been used flexibly or are being reported in an atypical role.

Performance Radar

A hexagonal radar chart plotting average scores across the six core rating categories. Each metric's average score and percentage are listed underneath the chart:

Technique & Skill
Speed & Movement
Intelligence & Game Awareness
Character & Desire
Physicality
Something Special
Reading the radar

The shape of the radar tells you as much as the individual scores. A player with a balanced hexagon is well-rounded across all six dimensions. A player with one prominent spike and a flat base elsewhere is a specialist — valuable in specific systems but potentially limited in others. Look at the shape before you look at the numbers.

Characteristics Analysis

Six cards, one per category, each showing three numbers — the average score across all reports (large, prominent), and the lowest and highest individual scores ever recorded. The spread between low and high tells you how consistent or variable the player has been across different scouts and occasions.

TS
Technique & Skill
7.2
Low 6.0 — High 8.5
SM
Speed & Movement
8.1
Low 7.5 — High 9.0
IG

Wide spread vs narrow spread

A narrow spread (e.g. Low 7.5, High 8.0) means multiple scouts consistently see the same quality — reliable. A wide spread (e.g. Low 4.0, High 9.0) means opinion is divided, or the player performs very differently across contexts. Wide spreads warrant further investigation before making a recommendation.

Scout Notes & Recommendations

The final section lists every individual report filed for this player as a card. Each card shows:

View report Expand ↓

Each card has two actions:

Eye icon / View report
Opens a read-only view of the original submitted report in full
Chevron / Expand
Expands the card inline to reveal every rated category with its score, plus any Personal Notes text from that specific report
Using the expanded view

The expanded card view is where you see how individual scouts scored each category on a specific day — useful when the averages in Characteristics Analysis are telling you one thing and you want to understand which report is pulling the number up or down. Open the oldest and newest reports side by side in separate tabs to see how a player has developed over time.

Open a Player Insights page

Go to the Professional Overview, find a player with at least one report, and tap the bar-chart icon to open their full profile.
