# Why can't I add a player to the scouting Field View (for accounts that have a team for only scouting enabled)?
## This article explains how users that only have a team dedicated to scouting, should tackle utilizing the shadow team and scouting scenarios.
If you only have **Scouting** enabled in your team, you can still take full advantage of the **Shadow Team** function by setting up player profiles in **Admin \> Squads**. Since this feature is directly linked to the **Squads** section, you must have players assigned to each position.
#### **Setting Up Your Shadow Team**
If you don’t have specific players to add, you can create **fake players** to fill a standard formation, such as:
- **2 Goalkeepers** (naming them "Goalkeepers")
- **5 Defenders** (naming them "Left Back", "Center Back", "Right Back", etc.)
- **6 Midfielders** (naming them "Center Midfielder", "Attacking Midfielder", "Left Midfielder", etc.)
- **4 Attackers** (naming them "Striker", "Left Wing", "Forward", etc.)
This setup allows you to display a lineup in **Scouting \> Field View** and link scouted players to the corresponding positions.
#### **Linking Scouted Players**
To create a **Shadow Team**, you must first **set up a scouting scenario**. Once done, you can link scouted players to the appropriate positions in your squad.
