Make sure the "Commissioner Mode" box is checked on the manager options screen.

From the "Game" drop-down menu, choose "Setup & Options".
Click the "League Setup" tab.
Click the "Financial" tab on the line under the "League setup" tab.

Under the Financial and Free Agency Settings section, there is an option for "Generate International Free Agents". I think if you select "A lot", you scout might find more international free agents.

The number is still low relative to what you might expect. In my leagues, I'm happy to find one international free agent a season. Most of them are duds. If I catch a good one every 10 seasons, I'm happy. I think the "A lot" setting would create about one international free agent per team per season.
Is this true ? My assumption was the International Free Agents, were the couple of international guys that the game generates to jump into free agency at the beginning of the FA period (always get an email that says X players signed up for FA - or whatever). I didn't think this setting effected scouts finding young talent.
