He is not average, he must be 1st or 2nd class but you could not know that till buying him, check the exact Value (114.100 ? 114.500 ?) comparing to the other players and finally test him.
Every season the president of my team donates two scouts or recommended
Just for one season, to complete the basic squad of my fast trainers and then sell him.
This season I got him

So he earned about 8% in one season by playing at the 27 games + the daily (morning) training for the bonus (2X 6,5% condition loss) + very few times when I saw that some players had full condition and didn't want to waste it.
No extra green.
I would say he was 2nd class.
If you have recommended with good positions (ST+AM, DMC+MC or MC+AMC, 2 defender positions) and good sa (not penalties or dribbler) and 18-19 y.o.
buy him with closed eyes (they are not slow or average).
