A general scout or the perfect chief scout features excellent ratings in judging player ability and potential. He may not have the best adaptability, but provides accurate scout reports of both young talents and established first-team players. This comes in handy, as you will want the chief scout or this specific general scout to get a second opinion of transfer targets and recommendations provided from other scouts within your scouting team.
These scouts may have other responsibilities too, such as roaming nations, scout competitions, attending matches or scouting the next opposition team.
