I think you are wrong. On the contrary, I think scouts are improving. It's been a long time I did not put my hand on a bad one. Sure, the SAs are silly. I got a DC who was a "PK specialist". It's a dream if you get 3/4 PK in a whole season. I got 3 in as many games recently, all missed by my "specialist". But this excepted, I am very happy with him. I bought a 29 years old MC who scored more goals than games played and never got booked. On top of that, he's my second best passer.
