I have a few questions about the draft. If you know the answers to any of them, then please answer them to help me out and any other managers which might be having the same questions. Thanks in advance!

1) When is the last day day that the draft information {current ability and potential} is last updated. Since we could still choose to pay for scouting than when is the last day that more information is added on the potential draftee's. If I am paying 40 000 per week i should still be getting more information on 4 more players but when is the last time that will happen.


2) How much should we weight the current ability and how much should we weigh the potential when we decide to make our choices. What i mean by this is which of the following players is better a {5 star for current ability and 4 star for potential OR a 4 star for current ability and a 5 star for potential...


and this final question is only for me... If i could get some advice on this


I have 1 player that has 4 stars for current ability and 4 stars for potential age of 18... i also have 3 players that have 5 stars for current ability but the potential and age is unknown...

these are my 4 best players in this draft... should i take the safe choice and pick the 18 years old guy with 4 stars for both or should i take risk and rank one of the guys with 5 star for current ability and unknown stars for potential and age as my first choice...

All of those 4 best players in my draft are guards and that is exactly what i am training... It would just suck if i get a guard that has the potential of an announcer because that is hard to train....

1. You have all the information you will get for this seasons draft and scouting done now is for next seasons draft.

2. In your example i would rate a 4 star, 5 potential higher then a 5 star 4 potential. The 5 potential guy could end up being a hall or famer for example while the 4 potential might be a superstar. Wouldn't be that much difference between a 4 star and 5 star in terms of current skills. However u could train a hall of famer for a very long time and the national team would be very interested if u trained him hard.

3. I would rank the 4 star, 4 potential guy higher then 5 star unknowns. A 4 star 4 potential is a very good player while u could end up with a 5 star 3 potential 19 year old if u choose the other option. Its a safe option but a good option getting the 18 year old.
