I had the same thing a few seasons ago, I bought 2 scout MC and their average rating after 28 games were 5.3 and 5.6.
That's actually connects with another theory of mine that claims that the players have hidden attributes.
That means that no matter what quality the player is, if his hidden attributes are low - he will suck...

I used to have 3 star players that got 8-9 ratings all the time and scored loads of goals, and a few 6 star players that were utter crap.
My advice is to ditch the crap players and get new ones.
