Age of Scout Players at Level 2

Is it just me, or does everyone in level 2 get 23 year olds as their youngest Scout Players in the transfer market?

Every day I've checked and nothing under 23, I want youngsters to be able to develop further and stay with my team for a few seasons, and if I've got to pay 50 tokens for them I also want them to develop quicker, but at 23 that is not going to happen?

Why does the Scout list not have 18/19 year olds?

Scout Players are on the scout list are always aged between 22-29 years thus being developed players already unlike their younger counterparts that come through the youth system.

My tip is if you buy a scout at the beginning of a new season aged between 22-24 and have a quality that ends in 4/9, then you can get 4 seasons from a scout player through natural growth.

So on that basis, and given that I've just picked up an 18 year old ST (Five Star 27) for 1 Token and $2.05m off the Transfer List (can't understand why no one else bid on him) I'd be better off training him hard to get him to Scout level as ill get more seasons out of him?

Yes. But it depends on what training speeds the player has because not all 18 year olds from the transfer market are fast trainers, some are the 2* ducks sold from managers 3 levels higher than you. Run a test on all 3 types on hard and give us the progess returns here. (for example 20/40/60)

Also we are getting later into the season now and less managers need players.

Where can I see the % of progress for each of the 3 types of training? I've not come across that before
Thanks

When you train the player on hard in training and it gives a "+20" for example on the end of the condition bar for progress gained.

Doh! So that's what that means...

I've done one lot of 3 types in the past hour and he got +96 which I assume is good?

I'll wait for the group to finish and then check each one on its own and report back

Thanks

Yeah +96 is a good stat for a 18 year old 5* player on match practice I believe.

+96 from all 3 in hard training is bad for an 18 years old.I got a player getting +160 only from a training match.
Can you be a bit more specific about how much he gets at every type of training?

33/54/77 which I'm now assuming is poor given your getting +160 to my +77?

You got to remember the player is 5*

I had Ramirez and Miku when they were 5* at purchase doing around +110 at best for hard training on match practice and when players gain stars training slows down. +96 at 5* for hard match practice is decent IMO.

I really appreciate the feedback, at level 2 I am still in my learning stage, so need to pick up as much experienced advice that I can

Thanks again

if anyone wants a 18 year old scout is easy,buy 1 18 years old simple player for few tokens then buy with other 46 green packs and power train him and done :D

Yes, But not always got the SA or the fast training speeds or the green packs will get you a scout rating that ends in 4/9.

Just for what it's worth, I don't think it's a good deal getting scouts at low levels in a decent transfer market. The young players I bought ths year will all finish the season at a good scout level and only one got PT. Perhaps at Level 4 the competition for good players is high enough that scouts become a better option

Tbh it depends on how your going to train your players. If your willing to spend the tokens on power training then an 18 year old is the way forward as you can add stars quickly. If your only going to be training them on a daily basis (they dont gain quickly enough), not buying green packs then id go for a scout. A scout player is pretty much the finished, ready to go article, SA n all.

FWIW i wouldnt buy a scout for the first few levels (unless youve money/tokens to burn) as youll be able to win the league and champs league relatively easy. I bought two scouts last season and the season before and humped my league and won the champs league at a canter!
