Fartak Scouting System

The Fartak Scouting System (often referred to as FSS) is a network set up by Sebastian Sanders at his takeover of the club at the start of season 3. It is run by himself and Felix Dixey and serves to provide Fartak with the best scouting system possible.

Setup and Findings
After being set up at the start of season 3, Sanders laid down the main aims of the FSS. These were to find young upcoming players, to improve the quality of current players with signings of cover players and to make quality additions to the squad.

Upcoming Youth Players
The youth player system is run by Bob Savill who immediatly recommended his younger brother Mark to the Head Scouts, Dixey and Sanders. Although met with some distaste by players, Savill Jr. was signed as a last resort back up player and has made one appearance for Fartak Moscow in goal.

Other youth players that have been considered for roles within Fartak are Elliot Martin and Augustus Sanders (brother of Sebastian)

Cover Signings
There have been a few signings of this nature, often made by the two head scouts and Alex Simpson who has a say in cover signings. These signings are used as injury or unavailability cover should any of the 8-man squad be affected. Normally they don't make many appearances throughout the season. Notable cover signings include Tom Sampson who has made 4 appearances for the club, Ted Clifton and Ben Campbell. More recently, Will Allen has been called up from cover to make more regular appearances for Fartak.

Quality Additions
These are purely down to the head scouts Sanders and Dixey and often these signings go straight into the starting 5, or at the least the 8-man squad. Sanders and Dixey not only watch games in other leagues (namely the Norwich School League) but gain knowledge through other methods yet to be released to the public.

Arguably the most successful Quality Additions to the team are Eddie Smith and spanish midfielder Jack Long-Martinez, both of whom have had success at Fartak Moscow.

Scouting Projects
The FSS is ongoing and, as revealed by Sanders recently, are undertaking many scouting projects. The club's main priority is trying to secure a deal for current free agent Tom Newey - a proven player in any league and has many encouraging attributes. Sanders suggested 'We need Newey, he would make a majestic difference to Fartak Moscow - especially in this time of need'. Sanders has also eluded to interest in county level keeper Tom Farrow and an unnamed forward.

Youth Team
Sanders has expressed interest recently in the formation of a youth/feeder team for Fartak Moscow named Crystal Fallus. He has outlined plans for a second team to allow for more game time and the development of youth players although many of the clubs 'sceptics' are known to actively oppose this move.
