Youth scouts are essential elements in the soccer metaverse. The first NFTs that were launched within MetaSoccer, they are responsible to mint new players. With the exception of licensed NFT players, like Ronaldinho, all players must be discovered first through the scouting process.
Although now it’s possible to create a team just by buying players in the marketplace, having a scout allows for a more immersive experience — you get to select the best scout for each scouting process you may need, as well as training players and defining the tactics for your team.
It’s also important to note that every scout has its specific role, which means that you need a scout with the special role of forwards to get you forwards, a defender to get you defenders, and so on. This helps you guarantee that in each scouting you know the role of the player you’ll get and have well-defined probabilities of the age and abilities it may have according to the scout you sent. Detailed information regarding scouting can be found here.
All in all, a youth scout will be able to find you players to increase your team’s performance, and they are able to get you players that you will be able to evolve, making them more valuable. You can always trade both the players you get through scouting or the scout itself in the market, a possibly make a profit with the sales.
Make sure you fully understand how the scouting process works before you begin, to get the most out of the activities available to you in MetaSoccer.
