For 39 tokens you bought an old scout. Old scouts almost always perform good and you have my word on this.
Younger players are less stable, while older players are more reliable.

Buying an old scout to captain your team is actually a rather powerful strategy.

But, low resale value and high wage make them extremely expansive to use.
You may just buy two 5* oldies (age>28) per season instead.
