I use a complete scout team and Gat is right, don't be to concerned about the scout players they don't always perform great the season you buy them but most of them do, what you will find is if they are average to poor this season they will be good next season!, with scouts its more of an investment, most managers like yourself go and buy a scout for now and then are dissapointed when they don't perform straight away, don't give up on them yet keep them, you can try him in a different formation as certain players play better in different formations.
