Are you happy that you have a squad of at least 20 players on a similar quality level?
If so then what is their ave age? If its young, then your squad is rapidly growing in quality and value...you may want to tweak (sell) the odd slower/weakling for a better quality player. If your squad is a mixture of old and young, the the old slow trainers low rating player can be changed for a youngster.

The main aim I think is to grow a squad at a similar and to compete against similar/slightly better level teams.

Scout players can be cultivated, (rather than bought) , sold on and replaced in no time. Reap the benefits of growing a young squad and selling high. Much more fun.
Also seek out the young higher value players and decide if you can risk the bid process.

Always buy in the new season (earlier is better) and sell before the season closes. Managers will buy right up to the end. Cash on hand never depreciates
