Scouts opinion or own opinion?

I'm just wondering what people do in regards to signing players? When I'm filtering players out in a search, I put in the stats I feel are required for the position I'm looking to recruit in, and often players I look at and think look good, my scouts rate as only "decent" players or maybe even "last resort" when I'm looking at them thinking they look good.

So what I'm saying is, do you rely heavily on your scouts opinion when signing players, or do you form you own opinion on the player?

Cheers alot!

It depends on the ability of your scouts to judge potential and ability, if these stats are low then they will not give you an accurate report on players, as a general rule, I go by player stats more than scout reports

As mentioned, your scouts abilities to judge players is something that should be considered when making the final decision. In the end however, I am the manager, and I tend to go with what I think, rather then the scout. I look at the scouts as a method of assisting me in making the "right" choice. The final decision in my case, is made by the manager.

perhaps someone can answer this question, is the scout report based upon the player skills or more on CA and PA..?
