yeah but scouts in the end never tell you something you don't know, they could against teams you don't know, but it is precisely those teams they say nothing about, and the assistant in the end no matter what tells you to tackle evrybody (I totally disagree with that) and show onto wrong foot... everybody and press... eevrybody, try it you'll see. honestly the assistant in the end is just there to have a second opinion on players, that's why I have tassotti who has 19-19 in judging potential and current ability, its pretty much like the scouts, you don't need him to know that Rooney is a must buy, you can check his stats, they're good only for regens because you don't know what they'll turn into.
All this to say that in the end they're useless.
