My new signings will be a year older next season at 6*, they will get to 7* through a bit of PT and regular matches. The cycle will continue for a few seasons at least because they'll be fast trainers until they are at least 24 years old. Jonny Lamb is 23 now and one of my fastest trainers... He was a youth player from level 1 and I still have him to this day. If I stick to this regime then I won't have to buy scouts and just invest in buy young players and give them a special ability.

At 5*, my young players gained at least 50-60 SP a day and quickly got their special abilities. It was about a 1:1 ratio for rest packs to SP, maybe a bit better than that so it's definitely more value for tokens than scouts. You also get to pick the SA which I like.
If there was 1 or 2 scouts that had a rating close to 7* and were 22-23 years of age with a desirable SA would you still sign them? because even with a 1:1 ratio on skill points to green boosters, it will still cost about 250T get the 4* youth tokens player to a good scout quality and also apply the SA.
