I have been in the habit, from around Season 2 (or maybe it was 3) of signing 1 or 2 impact players from Scout list. With recent experiences/changes to Scout Market I don't think I can justify that anymore as a strategy. But I might still turn to it in desperation (game cos like the desperation factor XD)
Yes, this factor was affect me and after selling Zardel no1, I bought another scout player.
(yes, many Battlefield Hardline videos for this week end ).

This time I bought the player from my phone, with the old version of the game, with 50T and with normal skills (Attacking > defending).
Renamed him again as Zardel (no2) and he is performing as I expected from a scout/list player (from my previous experience).

helped the team to past in the next CH.L. round (playing a 4-1-4-1)

and it seems that he can work out and help my main ST, Neymar.

So, my recommendation is if you want to buy a scout player (at least for) this season, try from the old version of your mobile.
