I'd say the scouts just 'edge' it, because of the cost initally to get the 18-19 year-old to 7*
exactly... and let us don't forget the no. of Ts we will pay for failed bidding and the winning bidding itself
have to say if i bought an 18 yo who is 4* (on border of 5*) sure he will be as good when 20 years just by playing regularly and training when rested compared to having a 6* scout at age of 22 and 23
so on the long term buying scouts is not a great solution .. i feel it is more about giving more quality at the team while developing the other kids to survive and be competitive in the league
