Player pools
Saved searches that FDscout re-runs every night: building, editing, the review deck, pinning and the FDscout pools.
What a pool is
A pool is a saved search that FDscout re-runs every night after the data update. Players who now meet every criterion join, players who no longer do drop out, and you are told about both. Pools are an Unlimited feature; the FDscout pools on the page are open to everyone as a preview.
The page
Select a pool lists your pools, or the FDscout pools from the toggle, one row each. Click a row to select it, or open it with the arrow for its stats and filters, with Select, Rename and Delete beneath, or Copy to my pools for an FDscout pool. The selected pool sits in the middle tile: its faces and size, then its stat thresholds and filters, each with Edit. The full list of its players sits under the tiles, and the page reopens on the pool you last selected.
Building a pool
Press Build a new pool, set the filters exactly as you would in detailed search, name it, choose the time frame and save. Populate preview shows who would be in the pool today before you commit. Edit on the selected pool changes its stats or filters, and saving an edit re-runs the pool straight away.
Inside a pool
Current matches is everyone who meets every criterion today, with how far each stat sits from your threshold. New matches joined in the last 14 days. Recent matches dropped out in the last 14 days and are worth a second look if it was marginal. Near matches are within 10 per cent of every threshold, the players most likely to join next.
Newly added
Players who entered one of your pools after a nightly check wait in the Newly added tile, one card at a time: who he is, the pool he was added to with the numbers that got him in and a Jump to pool button, his attributes as they appear on his profile, and his radar. Full profile opens his page, Add to shortlist files him, and Acknowledge clears the card. Acknowledge all clears the lot.
Pinning
Add to pool from a profile pins a player to a pool. A pinned player stays through every nightly check whatever his numbers do, until you unpin him from the pool's player list.
FDscout pools
Four generic pools built and re-checked nightly by FDscout, listed under the FDscout pools toggle. Copy one to make it your own and adjust it.
