I have a new team. I understand that the Draft will take place in a few weeks. I currently have the lowest level of scouting. My questions is should I wait untl AFTER the draft to scout? Are the scouts already looking at end of season 3 potential players?

Slightly more explained version is:

The money that you put toward scouting now will count for the draft next season.

This is because we don't want players showing each other their draft lists and investing more money if there are better players they don't know about.

The draft for this season is next week (10/22-23). As a new team you didn't do much scouting and so the information you get about the players is pretty limited. About all you can do is move the 5's and 4's to the top of the list and all the 1's and 2's to the bottom and hope you get lucky.

The other teams in your league are probably new as well, and have a similar amount of information, except each team is given information about different players. So a player you know has a 5 rating, many of the other teams won't know anything about. And they will have players with 5 ratings that you don't know anything about.

how much information about players you get if you pay 10.000 for week for scouting?

As stated, you get your 2 scout points per week.

Based on my experience this season with my 2 points / week:

For 1/3 of the players, I have all the information
For 1/3 I have some and for the other 1/3 I have nothing.
