actually the reason i buy scouts is because they are cheaper than transfer market. before some newbies come with haste conclusions let me inform you that it has to do with my ****ing server where i am top level. there are rarely 5 star players. only 4 star players which normaly go up to 25-30 round if they are under 23 yo. i have stopped buying from transfer market since i was level 3. the only exception was last season. i saw a 5star 26 y.o ml with s.a. who was on the verge to become scout. even then i continue biding after round 1 when i checked from my competitors profile that they were no token buyers and that they had less than half of my teams value. the result was to get the player for 25 tokens and 4 times more the his value (until round 15 there were 7-8 players biding) which is at least another 25 tokens if you convert them to cash. i thought that when the others saw how many scouts i have they would step back. i should have gone for a scout instead. better quality and cheaper.
