Yeah 20k a week is probably the best value for money

14x40k=560k! fair price for a youngster you can train and who pushes your merchendise a little bit. but you are right, if you expect to much you end up fairly disappointed.

As i found my league average only spending $14.5K on scouting, i decided to spend $40K scouting per week this season, expecting to gain more information on draft.

In order to re-build my team, i am trying to secure position 6 for relagation playoff to gain gate receipt revenue. Besides i can have better chance to get potential players.

Let's see who i will get finally.

From the look of your standings you are actually 6th last on the overall standings which mean you will get the 6th pick. With 5 teams picking before you do, 40k a week is a waste as the really good players will most likely be gone by the time it gets to you.

Wait so, for a beginner like me who has missed more than half the season, is it better to spend 20K or 40K?

I myself spend 20k just because i end up in the top of my league most years i've had my team, and that gets you enough information to try to get a really good prospect in the 1st round.... And every year but 1 i have found a great prospect

My wife is trying something, she has a team in div. V and she is undefeated yet the teams keep going bot, or changing out so even though she will have the last pick in the draft she is putting 40k a week in just to see if she cant get 2-3 great prospects.

I think there could be different strategies just depending on how you are in the standings, if their are a bunch of teams going bot or not and so forth.

I didn't say such scenarios do not happen. I said they are rare especially when you are in competitive divisions with active managers.

Even if you are top of the league in a bot division 4/5 league, I wouldn't spend more than 20k for scout reports. Its just a waste of cash. You're better off taking the saved cash (you're looking at 14 week of 20k extra = 280k) and spending it on a better player. But thats just my opinion
