Think about it a different way. You're the one scouting those 48 players, nobody else. And you're the one choosing how much to spend on scouting and how to spend it.
So the initial order doesn't mean anything, it's 48 names written on a page. Also, why would you want managers that don't spend a dime on scouting to have a rough idea of who the best players are? That works against those managers that took the time and spent the money on scouting.
