I have drafter prennial superstar potencial 19 year old rookie before too. He had like 41 skillpoint, now at age 21 he has 78 and is my starter pg:) In a financial view i get more than twice merchandizing money than league average but i also have another draftee of mine in starting lineup too.

SO in my opinion 19 year old ones are really decent ones if you planing to train them. Yes they wont be better at age 20 than the ones drafted at age 18 but basicly they dont lose training the only fact is they will never make u-21 also they will be 1 year older I had drafted 2 my starters that year and one was 18 yo 39skillpoints another 19 41 skilpoint. Trained them together 1 pozition now 73 skilpoints 18 year old one and 78 19 year old one. Well he had some nice elastic effect but still, doesnt lose toomuch training so it isnt a waste especially when he had 16 skill pops at age 19:)

Well, I too have a player, 19y old allstar when drafted and I stopped training him when he hit 86 skill points (could probably do a few more). Along with him I drafted a 18y old allstar and he trained quite faster. And I have 58k merchandise compared to average league's 48k, so that's probably cool.

But maybe I'm looking a bit differently at 19y olds now because I'm trying to train only the players that can become top 10 players in BB world at their position. For an average user though I guess a 19y old is quite cool.

First season i cam in mid season andgot a p.allstar in my draft (I did scout and order them well). Trained him to be in the England U21's, just about to turn 22 now. I also got 2 stars/allstars i trained with him and sold for 100k&190k.
Second season came first in my league, got promoted and got an MVP and still training him
Third season got 2 P.allstars and still training them
Last season draft was the first I didntt spend 40k a week on and i got 1 ok player and 2 bad ones.
This season I am spending 10k a week and draft isn't looking good, so glad i spent so little.

Thes were all 18 year olds

I am not boasting, but showing that you can get lucky. My promotion AND mvp 18 y/o season was in D.III So they probably didn't quite know what they were doing, so that was my luckiest draft!

I hope everones draft goes well this season. I currently have a 4/4 sf as my best (pretty good) but not much else.

galla

If you're looking for a PG, don't check the suggested position, but the hight. Having a trainee with rather poor primary skills, but good secondaries and right height can be very beneficial in the long run.
