So far, not very convincing as you can still get equally if not better performing players from both the auction market and the scouts' list. The main advantages is not having to pay the transfer market value fee, and avoiding the hassle of keeping an eye on the transfer market very frequently for particular players.
Only if they're there and you can win an auction - at the time I was buying the first ones for Palace Casuals there was a dearth of suitable players in the market and the ones that did get there were subject to auction frenzy and went for ridiculous prices in very high round counts...

I've found that the performances actually increase, especially if you have three that play off each other, as Palace Casuals do.
