Five left-backs fit. Ferreira and Rautio have full scout reports; Ferreira is the strongest all-round option at £18,500 a week. Whitlock is the fastest player you have a solid read on, with pace between 15 and 17. Your scouts have not yet assessed Sy’s crossing or positioning, or Medel’s tackling and positioning.
Full read drops the scouting filter and returns true values for every matching player, known or not. For these five, Sy has the highest pace (17) and Medel the best crossing (15). In career play, Manager view keeps those values hidden until your scouts report on them.

Examples
Board confidence
How does the board rate me right now?
| Area | Board’s view | Basis |
|---|---|---|
| Overall | Satisfied | Across the areas below |
| League | Pleased | Asked to challenge for promotion. 3rd after 18 matches. |
| Cup | Content | Asked to reach the fourth round. Out in the third. |
| Finances | Concerned | Wages £412,000 a week against a £398,000 budget. |
| Squad | Content | Average age 25.8. Two first-team contracts end in June. |
| Style | Very pleased | Asked for attacking football. 31 league goals. |
Ashworth Vale’s board is satisfied overall. Finances are the one area below content: the wage bill is £14,000 a week over budget. Clearing that amount brings it back within budget.
