What's the best you guys have ever had in the draft?

I had many players, the most valuable one was a player with great potentials. As a U21 manager, I saw many drafted players and I can say that a young player with potential will be sold for a big amount so it may be worth investing in the draft on a pure financial point of view.

What I'm not happy with is that for many seasons, I didn't train seriously one of my drafted players. How high did you manage to bring your own drafted players?

A super-star potential which I didn't train because he had awful skills. The best player I have drafted and I have trained was a perennial allstar, which came in the same draft as the player mentioned before.

Yeah, I see what you mean. But it is worthless I think if you are going to get a late pick. I like the ability to save my draft points for next season. I hope I get to promote and then I'll use my points for next season.

I got one guy who is ok. I've been training him this season but only 2 positions so he will only ever be a backup.



Which player did you not train? What did he start out like?

Are you guys bothering to spend scouting points this season?

I do, I always do because some managers don't and they may leave an interesting player for me :)
However, as I started at half season in Utopia, I don't have enough points to scout correctly this season's draft.

I'm not. I think I haven't had draft point in all BB since season 17

I made a quite good PF a few seasons ago (or at least at that time, for me was a great player, a multiskill $60,000 PF). The best trained players I own now are a Swedish and Russian player in my original team, trained for my since their first week in the game. I have also a good Utopian player, but I haven't ended training him yet.

You never scout? Even when you know you will have a losing season?

How come Swedish and Russian?

Don't you find it a waste of money sometimes?

Yes, some seasons it's a waste of money but not all. For instance, I spend $10k a week in scouting, it means $150k over a whole season. 2 seasons ago, I drafted an "hall of famer" player and I managed to sell him for $500k, it covered my scouting costs for 3 seasons. A lower potential player with good starting skills can be sold between $100k and $200k, it's exactly the cost of a season of scouting.

On the long term, I lost money but I like the gamble, I think it's a fun and exciting part of the game so I don't mind losing a little money for it. I waste a lot more money in training when a player misses minutes or something like that.
