EVERTON FC have signed a ground-breaking deal to use a soccer management computer game to scout for new players.

Manager David Moyes and his coaches will link up with bestselling simulator Football Manager, which uses 1,000 scouts to compile its huge database.

They will be able to track more than 370,000 players and staff from 20,000 teams worldwide.

Football Manager creators, brothers Paul and Oliver Collyer, have been flooded with offers from clubs since developing the first version of the game in 1992.

Their firm Sports Interactive accepted Everton’s offer as the brothers are both Toffees fans.

Paul said: “The game’s database is the most extensive scouting network in football.

“This is as close to my boyhood dream of playing at Goodison Park as I will ever get.”

Certainly different, but it beats our Ewan Chester/Willy McKay approach to scouting!
