Level 39 query (unfair advantage) scout players

[Wino's]

You are partly correct, it's the other way around, they are MANAGER Level 39 but LEAGUE LEVEL 40 hence why they have the higher level scouts available, very odd though as three of them were at the same League and manager level last season as myself and I finished higher in the league than all of them (2nd) still think it's some kind of glitch (bug) or mebbe the numbers are dropping and they need to fill the higher leagues ?

One of them is at the same manager and league level as myself and has 4 players in his squad all between 222 and 223 and is still in the same league as myself, hence why I noticed this.
