If I saw a scout list full of 22 year old's and 4/9 players all for 70T each I'd fill my boots. I was producing a table that values each scout in relative value due to age and quality, similar to the different token prices on youths you get from the academy, If they are going to make the older crapper scouts cheaper, then they will need to make the younger quality scouts more expensive to balance out the 50T per scout that they are currently receiving.
Looking at the table, apart from the optimum scouts most of the players on the list would be cheaper.
