I can't believe that I have to say this again, but not finding players is not the problem. The scouts do find players, you can see them at the scouting tab on 'In Progress'. They find players with a good or perfect rating in that tab. But when the scouts are done scouting, the players don't move to the 'Recommended' tab, but just disappear.
Keep giving us "tips" on how to improve our focuses is not the solution.
