Works well for my league. IAFA are ussually higher potential players but since there are a lot more scouting discoveries there is a good mix between the two among the top players in the league. Having established International Free Agents entering the world means you get the occasional (super)star player enter the league out of nowhere without any history. Some people don't like this but personally I don't mind.

I do use a Minor League system (2 teams per franchise) so I don't know how players would develop without Minors. To avoid high level talent getting stuck at the lowest tiers I set FA at 3 years. This means that star players generally enter FA at the age of 25.
For some reason, when I set up a save like this, I’m not seeing the scouting discoveries being generated - just the IAFA’s. Not sure what I’m doing wrong.
