Here is what I disagree with....the scout players. Sometimes i'll spend hours upon hours trying to find the right player for a position. Usually when I find the right one the bidding is to high. Yes, i could buy a fast trainer and mold him into what I want, but that kills a LOT of green packs and I'm already doing that with other players. My example here would be a ML/AML/DML with special ability. It's very hard to find one of these in the basic auction.

I'm a father of three so spending a little cash to avoid the late nights and hours upon hours of training makes it worth it to me. Also, if you buy a lower level scout he will last you more than two seasons.

Everyone lives are different. Some have more time to devote to the game than others.
It's the truth, the convenience of any game is that you can trade your money for time, If i have a shortage of time, i will do the same. I didnt say scout players are worthless, most of them actually change the table, i faced with couple of teams with scout players, usually they play very well and have 8.0+ rating after the matches.
Another thing you've got it right: about the AML/AMR with good SA, i can't find them too, lol, i was looking for an AM with shadow strike but never see them in transfer market, or if they show up, there will be a bloody bid war.

But as a low level manager (1-3), is it not advisable to buy scout player? First, you can do well without any scout. Second, If you buy scout at first season, you will enjoy winning, the next season, you dont buy and you start losing, you'll lose faith, thinking that the only way to win is to spend. Then, you end up quitting the game after spending considerable money on it, because you can't keep up with the demand for scout players.

IMO, i will buy scout player, may be at level 6,7. Not now
