Yeah, so I hired a scout with a 10 jpa, and 14 jpp. A year on, and knowing the attributes change for staff now, he has changed to a 5 jpa, and 17 jpa. wtf? How does he drop 5 points in jpa?
And I've noticed that judging attributes for scouts seem to change depending on what they do; if they are sent to look for young players, their jpp increases, forcing the jpa to go down to free up potential.

Don't scouts and other staff have potentials, like players, and can get better with time and practice?
If memory serves, they didn't improve in FM06, but they can go both ways in FM07. Which is good and bad. Good if you sign a scout who turns into a genius. Bad if, like me, you sign a player as a coach and - the moment he retires as a player - his stats drop dramatically.

I think.
My scout in question has been sent to look at 21 and unders, so that would be a sensible explanation, though absolutely stupid on SI's part. Because a scout is looking at younger players means he gradually has less and less idea of how well they are currently playing? That is worthy of a giant WTF???
