Buying scouts

[Southampton FC]

The first thing I thought when seeing the title of this thread was "Don't" unless you're desperate for that one player, for this season.

Players slow every star they gain, and also as they age.

Pretty much the only role I consider Mr. Scout's list for is GK.. and he has to play every match, still won't keep up his Quality like a super expensive fast trainer. And lately I've been rethinking that since they are so expensive. Because I'd rather assign points my own way, I think a four or five star with 70T in greens for training is a better deal in the long term.

I've just trained the scout guy. It took 11 green packs to gain 5 skill points (I think they're called skill points, whatever you need 75 of to get a star). When I hear people have thousands of green packs, did they buy them or collect them somehow? I get 10 a day from videos, 1 from a friend and 2 every 4 days or something from my level 1 gym (which I'm going to upgrade to max some day hopefully) Is there any other way of getting them? I never have any spare as the 11 or 12 a day I get are always used for training which only takes a minute.

Dunno, I've never had thousands.. for BvB I go through about 300 a season. Other teams it's either in game only or on a couple I watch vids for greens, adding maybe 30 something to the in game/gifts.

Other than BvB I don't strive to have a solid five star team.

They look more like this, a 35T team, finished 2nd last season:

If the player need 2.2 Green pack (i.e. 36% condition) to gain 1 sp, his training efficiency is only average. Your green packs are better to be used for other players.

If your scout players are 6* and their improvement is slow, he already has sufficient quality to play in your level and you need not to train him if it is not efficiency. Performance is another thing to consider. Even low quality players can be good performer and contributors.
