Does anyone know o f any utilities for Football Manager that allow you to look at different areas of your team? I guess I would like to have something where I can view all of my team’s ratings and notes in once environment. I know the game keeps up with it for you but I still think it would be interesting to have it all directly in front of your face.

FM Scout (http://www.sigames.com/downloads.php?type=view&id=239) should give you what you're looking for. I think that v3.22 has been released - let me see if I can dig it up. There was some discussion of the utility here a day or two ago in this thread (http://dynamic2.gamespy.com/~fof/forums/showthread.php?t=36647)

EDIT - You can get v3.22 of FM Scout here (http://www.thedugout.net/download.php?cmv=11&cat=4).

I am downloading and will check it out later. I see where FM is working on something where you can compare progress and what not. I may do a basic utillity similar to what he is working on if I can find the time. Are there any suggestions?

Be prepared with FMScout. It is a program for scouting for hidden talent. It is basically a spreadsheet format, but two of the default columns are Current and Potential Ability. If you are someone who does not want to know this information, start up the utility and before you load your game into it, go up to the the top menus and find Options. In there you can set up the columns that show up (you can un-tick unwanted columns here). Then when you load your game info into it, the "hidden" information won't be right there on top. I do believe that the utility remembers your column settings too.

Just a little forewarning
