Discovering Talent Across the Globe
In Panenka, the scouting system plays a crucial role in building a competitive team by discovering new talents from various footballing hotspots around the world. The game offers a nuanced approach to scouting, featuring three distinct levels of scouts, each with varying abilities and efficiencies. This system allows managers to strategize their scouting efforts based on their team’s needs and financial resources.
Types of Scouts
The most experienced and skilled, Chief Scouts have the highest likelihood of finding top-tier talent. They can unearth players with the potential to make an immediate impact on your team, making them invaluable for clubs looking to strengthen their squad significantly.
These scouts offer a balance of experience and cost, making them suitable for regular scouting assignments. While they may not always bring in star players, their discoveries are often solid, promising talents that can develop into valuable assets for the team.
The least experienced, Junior Scouts are more affordable but come with a higher risk of lesser-quality findings. They are best utilized for scouting lower leagues or as a supplementary option when budget constraints limit the use of more experienced scouts.
Scouting Duration and Options
The scouting system in Panenka is designed to accommodate different strategic approaches through two scouting options:
This option takes 20 days to complete and does not require any investment of $GRINTA tokens. It's ideal for managers who prefer a conservative approach, allowing for gradual team building without immediate financial expenditure.
For managers who need quick results, power scouting completes the process in just 10 days but requires the use of $GRINTA tokens. This accelerated scouting is beneficial when trying to quickly fill gaps in the squad or capitalize on market opportunities.
Players can buy and manage scouts with different skill levels, such as junior scouts, mid-level scouts, and senior scouts, each with different abilities and expertise. The primary goal of the feature is to discover new football talent across different continents.
Users will need to work out a scouting strategy considering their budget and team. Junior scouts are affordable but less experienced, while senior scouts are expensive but highly skilled. The choice of scouts will impact the quality and quantity of the scouted players.

Furthermore, the choice between free and power scouting should align with the team’s immediate needs and financial strategy, balancing speed against resource expenditure.
The scouting system in Panenka not only enhances the game’s realism and depth but also mirrors the complexities of real-world football management. This system challenges managers to think critically about long-term team development and how best to allocate their scouting resources to build a winning team.
