I am a new player. I have put 40k in scouting every week (friends advice) but it seems like a waste of $$$ since we have like 2 more months before the draft. Do I have to put the 40k in per week to get a good draft update? Or is that suppose to be a one time thing ?

it's a weekly thing, but i am no big fan from paying 40k, if you are a succesfull team in a active league i would pay 5k if your league is inactive or you get a early draft pick i would pay 10 or 20k

If you expect to finish at the top of the conference, as i think you will, it´s a waste of money except if other teams are bots.
Anyway as Crazy Eye said, i´m not agree investing this big amount of money.
Best regards.

Agreed with whats said above. You're better off not spending that much money and using the saved money to buy new players to improve your team

you should put as much as you can to the draft so you can get good draft player and get good trainee (or what you call it here) get good player to train in the future it is much more fun to train your own drafted player than someone you have bought from another country and keep in mind that is just my advice :D

If you are coming first in your league, you will get the 15th/16th pick so you will not get that good trainee to begin with (unless of course the whole league is bot). You might get a trainable guy but to spend 40k a week on getting info on players you probably won't be able to draft is useless.

Considering that u r division is full of bots, i think that 20k is fine.Bots selects randomly. On my 1st draft ever i took my team over at the half of the season and i didnt spend that much money. Still i got 1 really good player and 1 good but 19 y/o. The 1st got sold after 2 seasons of training for 1.3M, the 2nd is regularly member of Cyprus NT. 40k is way 2 much.So for me the safest bet is 20k. U cant afford to spend so much money

DMI is useless to compare players as they are heavily influenced by gameshape. It doesn't mean anything that you have a 24k DMI player.

The draft is also NOT luck unless of course you are in a league of bot teams. With the right amount of information, you can grab a better player than another team that lack information on the player.

Well in that case it seems most likely that you did not set your draft order properly. If you have information on a player that has 5 skill balls and another with 2 skill balls, why would you draft a 2 skill ball player over him?? The difference between the two players is that 5 skill ball player have more skills at respectable. Also, by scouting a guy twice you know just how good the 5 ball player is be it a A+,A or A- and also giving you information on his potential, again giving you more information on the player for you to make a decision. I don't see how this information is "somewhat useless" as it is the difference between drafting a player of over a million in value and a guy not even transferable on the market....

Again you refer to DMI. It is called the Deliberately Meaningless Index for a reason. You can't compare players with it. It is misleading to try gauge how good/bad a player is by looking at DMI as a player in really crap game shape will have bad DMI but his skills might be better than everyone on the team.
