Well to the first part each GM has their own Style and with the current prices on the TL I think draft picks can make mroe of a difference on a team. On the second charge I can only stand on the math, which right now tells me that if you pick a player you haven't scouted you have only an 18% chance they will be a 1 or 2 star rated player. Although I am probably crazy to take these numbers too seriously since I am working with a limited sample size. On another you be surprised at how bad some people draft not mention the randomness of inactive. Although looking at my preferences for picks in the past three seasons I think your top 15 picks to be of great importance. So my advice is to put a lot of thought into them. I have got in the past three seasons my 9th choice twice and my 7th choice one in the second round. I have seen one draft in particular with 8 5 star rated players and 12 4 star rated payers. So you could easily get two worthwhile players with a little thought and effort.

You're right, I was talking from my perspective there, and frankly, I do believe that. However, I'm in division V with probably two or three players who are paying attention, so that won't apply to everyone. Last year, 3 guys better than 4 star / 2 potential were taken with the last 8 picks in my league, so I know it can happen. If this guy (10592140) is pick #46, then it's an entirely credible strategy.

That said, you are probably right for the majority of people, who are not in a wildly uncompetitive league.

Another very good point. It's becoming obvious that I was only thinking about my position when I said that. I'm doing 1 position big training, and I have the guys that I'm focusing on already, so unless I get someone outstanding who convinces me to sell one of my trainees, they won't get very much training. So mostly I'm focusing on finding people who will sell for a lot, or if they have low potential, could take over a starting spot.

Thanks for the info. Also, what are the odds of getting an 18 year old player because I have several players that I only scouted once but have 5 star ratings? I'm wondering whether I should try my luck with one of these players and hope that he's 18 with decent potential.

Its totally random and would come down to luck. You could end up with an 18 year old with good potential or a 19 year old with low potential. As you can see the draft is tough because u never feel like u have enough information to rank your players how u want.

as the guy before me said it is random, but if you take a late pick the prohability is higher to get a bad one because the good one get pick earlier fromthe opponent if they got their info.

I know Superstar is 4 balls potential b/c I got this player (10594736) in the last draft and he was a 4 ball potential player.

I also know that P all star is 4 balls, so at least those are facts :)

Also i'm also trying to collaborate this info and hopefully get some accurate results from this season's draft.
