Well, Gert, in another post you said that scout list players are only for a couple of seasons.
My player Branco, in the 5th line, is the only other player I have (except Emerson) from scout-list.
I bought him 22 y.o., it's his 4th season now, he is 6* player, q78, he is gaining over +50 in 3 bars practice and he is an excellent performer.
So, a young scout/list player can have 4 good years, with high q (6*), maybe 5.

Also want to say, that in the beginning of the season, he had 4-5 rates of 6 in a row and I made him captain - oops, wrong, erase this,
I started using him as DC (instead of DL) and raised his rates a lot.
So, if your player Hernandez, is a DL/DC, you can set him as DC for a couple of games.
very well, I see your point on scout. (solid yes )

Let me clarify what I ment when i said 2-3 seasons.
My pragmatic approach is from a simple cost benift analysis.
each season there comes 18 yeared 5 star fast trainers they gain 150-170 experience from hard training not +50. In simple math that means you will need too feed him tre times the amount of green suitcases too gain the same progress.
And here is my point and the way I rotate my team season wise. When the youth (new nordgen) are getting ahead I find them obsolite (Scouts or 22+) and sell them when I still can get them auctioned.

I will try this idea with playing a DC or DL in the near position when lacking in rating, actually I have sometimes don it because of injuries, and the engine penalty seems rater low.
