Don't bother scouting unless your team's record is terrible or most of the teams in your league are inactive. Generally there only 1 or 2 great players worth spending scouting for. Otherwise the other players you could simply pick them up on the TL later without having to gamble.

biggest mistake I made was full scouting the season I came in 2nd in my league. Wasted alot of money.
I currently Scout 2, but if I am in top 2 in League then will drop it down. If I go lower then I will increase scouting.

here is my strategy when it comes to scouting, and tell me if this is wrong cause i've only taken part in 2 drafts and the 1st one i got my team 4 days before. Anyway, last season it seemed like to me that the money i spent pre all star break was for the 1st scouting (skill and game stats) then the money i put in after the all start break started back at player 1 and did as many players as it could the 2nd evaluation (potential and age). So this year my strategy is to do 2 players a week until the all star break (so i'll have the 1st evaluation for 14 players) and post all star break I'll just do 3 players a week (in doing so i'll get the 2nd evaluation on 12 players). Please chime in 1st of all on whether or not I'm correct with how the pre and post all star game scouting breaks down, and also if you think this is a good strategy.

Thanks

Hmmm....interesting theory. I was always under the impression that it didn't matter when the money was accrued. Frankly, I would spend money based on where I think I’d finish and which position I’d be drafting at.

Are you 100% certain it doesn't. Cause i was able to see the age and potential for the exact number of players i had scouted post all star break up to the beginning of the playoffs. Thats intersting I'll have to check that out with this years draft.
