Buying from scouts

[t11_fan]

Scouts aren't cost effective. Better buy young expensive 5* players (known as nordgens) on auctions or through negotiations. Train them a lot, spend green packs on them, if they have good growth, with ordinary training they will be useful for few seasons.
Scouts have ways slower growth, they are good for one season, next season they lose advantage and nordgens become more useful....

LOL I had near 20 Scouts in my team some of then used for 10 seasons, since 22.

In my case the experience is another... 90% good Scouts... can say that between the 20-30% of these were players that won 1/2 League or 1/2 Champions League they, alone...
The last i bought is Hasselbaink and was in the 2 tops last season... if I remember well LOL..

I think that at the end exists all posibilities with the Scouts, Nordgens and Academy players.
We have to see only 2 things of them: how fast they train and how they contribute in the team.
I had excellent players from these 3 places and maybe, in my case the case I had more luck (in % of good players bought) was in the Scout list.
But thats my case, ofc. ... here we can read different stories...
