Hire Scouts with Appropriate Expertise

In Week 1 of the Regular Season, start hiring scouts with expertise in Positions that your roster needs. You can find which positions your team is lacking under Team Needs on the right side of the Hire Scouts menu.

Assign Scouts in the Correct Region

Each Region will show you what Positions they mostly have in their area. You can assign a Scout who is an expert in those Positions to look for potential players. Correctly assigning a scout to a region will reveal more details about a prospect much faster.

Check Prospect Board Weekly

Each week, Scouts will turn in their reports on a prospect's information, and you can check them in the Prospect board under the Scout College Players menu. Here, you'll find each Prospect's Attributes and Archetypes.

Most information will be blank at first, but as the weeks go by, details of a Prospect will slowly be revealed as the Scouts get more info on them, so be sure to check back often!
