The price will be more acceptable if they make the the scout players costing 54-69 tokens better. For example:
the speed in gaining skill points is significantly increased with increase in token value;
the lower limit age is decreased, up to 17 years old with increase in token value;
more guarantee that the player will not flop.

May be they should add another list, for e.g special young talent, where the players are much younger, already have a 6 star rating and have better training potential.
