I bought an AMR scout at the beginning of the season and he's by far my best player (he's leading the league in all 3 categories) but he has only gained 12 skill points total and will soon be overtaken in total skill points by more than half my squad.

I've been stockpiling tokens and can buy a couple scouts to start next season, but I'm wondering if it's worth it?

I have to admit i used to think yes. But although i have bought 3 a GK and 2 MC's its always a gamble. One of my MC's at level 44 is outplayed by another player at level 36 and age 28. Plus my GK is a scouted player and he is awful.

I often see teams with average players doing well. For instance my G/F's team is top of her league and in the final of the Champions league and she has never bothered with it. I bough a few players for it but the team is still rubbish. I set the formation 4-1-2-1-2 and left it. No moral boosters or health boosters and she seems to win every game even against teams levels above her. So i would say NO its not worth it. Infact i think the whole game is a con. Special abilities are also rubbish as the add no value to a player whatsoever.

Concentrate on tactics and formations alongside playing at least one friendly a day. People often make the mistake of thinking players need to be 99% fit for every game to maximise performance, this in my experience is incorrect. Also train your subs and reserves extra hard so that they don't get left behind.
