Using Scouting / Historical League / 1st year

Anyone know how to create more scouts?

When I do a historical league and turn on scouting, there are only 5 available and the bidding war that ensues can cause each of the 5 scouts to be paid more than the top players in the league

Need a scout!

Haven't found where to create a single/multiple scouts but in 'League Settings'-->'Functions' there is the ability to 'Fill Teams with fictional coaches/scouts' under the roster functions.

You could use this to give everyone a scout. If you still wanted to have them hired there is also a 'Release all coaches/scouts'. So you could fill all teams then release them and allow teams to hire who they want.

and I found where you can create individual scouts, coaches, etc...

When you are on he available personnel page the 'available actions' pull-down allows you to create individual personnel. Or you can do as above and just fill the teams with scouts.
