I am new too. To add on to his question, if we should start scouting now, how many players per week should we scout? Thanks.

I'm not going to tell you how many players you should scout per week. I will tell you, however, how the draft works, so that you can decide for yourself.

There are 48 players in the draft, which comes out to three rounds for the 16 teams in your league. Each player can be scouted twice. The first time you scout a player, you discover his "star rating", which is a rating from one to five of, generally, how good the player will be. The second time you scout a player, you will receive a more specific "grade ranking" (i.e., from A+ to F), along with the player's best attribute, and how high it is. You cannot choose the players you scout; they will be picked randomly.

A couple weeks before the draft, you pick the order in which you want to draft prospects, based on the information that you've gleaned from scouting. When the draft is run, the highest available player on this list will be given to you in each round.

It's up to you to decide how much emphasis you want to put on scouting. It's definitely a balance between keeping your weekly budget afloat and trying to figure out who is the best player available.

I wouldn't put very much money into scouting.

Each team is given information about different players, so even if you have the 16th pick, you might get your top choice, because most other teams won't know that he was any good. You also don't get very much information. I started towards the end of last season, so had only a minimal investment, but got two players who started for me. Also, since everyone drafts at the same time (it was only one week ago), there are likely to be a lot of players available on the TL soon afterwards.

the rules make a good point of telling you that if you are dropping to the bottom of your league, then it is more worthwhile to spend money on scouting as you will have better players to select. just something to think about....

I don't get it - after I activate scouting where do I see the players that got scouted... or am I suppose to wait until two weeks before the draft?

"The way the draft works is as follows: Right after the season ends 48 new players are generated for the draft."

so the new players are shown right after the end of the season. you have until 2 days after the finals of your series playoffs to select your draft order. and then the draft occurs (the finals for season 2 were Oct 20 and the draft occured Oct 22 in my series)

BB will make an announcement in the NEWS section as to when the draft will occur. as of right now, no, you cannot the players in the next draft
