Hey guys I'm currently the number 4th seed in my conference, I have the same win-loss record as third seed. Anyway, I have just beaten the number 1 team from the other conference and I now feel like I could challenge for promotion. The only issue is that I just found a great draftee who is 5 balls in potential and star rating. What should I do?

I'm leaning towards going for promotion and just hoping that my low draft pick will be a good one and that the other teams don't see the prospect. Maybe get promoted and get a great draftee? Wishful thinking more then likely. Otherwise I could just play my guys for training minutes and not really go for the win, so I do well in training and drafting. It's a tough decision. I guess that is why this game is so fun. I might try and do all three, win games, train my guys well, and draft at least one good prospect.

Any feedback/advice is valued, thanks in advance,
Danny

Go for promotion. There are two active teams drafting before you, so the risk that they find the trainee gem themselves and try to get him isn't that small. And if you stay 2nd or 3rd, you're not really changing your draft position too much.
