ooo I heard my name.

So i did a study in last seasons draft and found that there are some decent correlation's between Box score values and final player stats.

You can read about my quest for enlightenment here
(256102.1)

or just skip to the results here
(257837.3) and onwards

Note - you will need to understand correlation co-efficient s.

Feel free to add to the discussion. I should really pick up the work again and maybe make some more usable pictures.

I agree. I have a guy right now with lower potent playing well. I have gotten better result with shaping these bad players than I have with shaping the good. I think its a smart way to create a solid bench with lower potents.. Atleast they play well given the talent.. The good ones are just a dam liability for long time for me anyway. It just upsets me so much when they not scoring nothing and your pouring cash in to these players. only draft player I have ever kept was steve warden.

The lower potent is just getting the job done in some cases. I think if a manager is near my level of play or class division of 4-5 then they should try to get the best they can. But I don't thinking taking bad potent player Is a sin. You can always shape him to solid or good bench player for cheap like you said, in which I agree 100%

I could agree with getting them on the transfer market due to the obvious cost differences, but if you are choosing between a 5/4 and a 5/3 player that both fit what you're looking for there's still no reason not to go with the higher potential. If you don't want to train him past an all-star or so level that is still an option. Unfortunately, if you get the 5/3 player and decide in a couple seasons to change your mind it's too late at that point. Unrealized potential won't make him less valuable as a bench player once he is done training.
