I have noticed about a week ago that my team started to perform strangely, that is winning unconvincingly or drawing with teams far much lower quality despite having set decent formations. It is as if something has picked on my team and preventing it from winning like it should have. After a while, I was discouraged too as despite making some changes, the team still perform unconvincingly.

I am not sure if it is to tempt you to buy more tokens. I want to verify a few things though.
1. When was the last time you bought tokens, and when was the last time your obtain tokens from surveys and so on?
2. What was your average daily token level this season, that is how many tokens you kept in stock?
3. Have you made any significant construction upgrades, for e.g opted for the full stadium upgrade rather than adding seats? I know this should affect your finance rather than your team's performance, but just to verify if there is a similarity between some teams performing badly despite being of better quality and using decent tactics.

1) I haven't bought tokens in over 6 months. I had an iTunes gift card after Christmas and bought some tokens with that in (probably) January.
2) My average daily token level was generally low . . . I signed players early on, so I'd say around 5, but haven't spent any for a week or so and now sit at 26. Since I don't buy/farm, they are hard to come buy and I know I will need to upgrade players when the new league starts, hence my small stockpile of tokens.
3) I haven't made any construction upgrades since the beginning of the season (when I added seats to my stadium).

My players' from hasn't even been that terrible (although one player has been pretty bad . . . 5-5-3-5-5; sadly, he's one of my few scout level players). Aside from he and one other midfielder, everyone else has performed generally average (mostly 7s with some 6s and 8s here and there). I'm at a loss. I will ride out this season (one match left to try and move up from 10th) and see how the early part of the next season goes . . .

Make some additions next season, but don't rush to sell any players that you know played consistently well in the past before your team entered the bad period. Keep on testing for a few days into next season before you decide to sell any of your players, unless you obtain promotion and the players' overall qualities are not good enough for your targets in the next level. Given that you are a non-token buyer or farmer, you can't afford to waste tokens. So, avoid bidding wars.

What is the position of the scout player that has performed badly?

You can get at least 5-6 decent players (4-5 stars) with the 26 tokens. Like I have said, just avoid bidding wars. If it goes to round 3 and there is still two or more active bidders other than you, it is better not to continue to bid as there is more probability that at least one bidder will continue bidding. The market is always flooded with players. So, there is no need for you to rush, unless you have high targets next season where you will need specific high quality players as early as possible.

The first player that needs to be sold is more probably that under performing scout player. Don't let his high overall quality rating prevent you from putting him on the transfer list. Just sell him, and make good use of the money obtained.
