I believe the quantity of players available with each level is different, and possibly random (with probably certain boundries). Just to continue helping everyone's analisys, I invested on scouting 3 players per week the whoel season and I got:

8 fives
9 fours
5 unknown
8 threes
14 twos (absurd !!!)
4 ones

For the players that I have got no scouting information on I put after my 4 star players as I have a 3/5 chance they will be 3 or above


Your 3/5 chance assumes that the players are equally distributed between 1-5. Is this what is actually observed in reality?


If they use an even distribution formula to determine a players skill then it will be similar to a random calculation.

Think about flipping a coin 1000 times, even though there might be not exactly 500 heads and 500 tails overall the difference is very likely to be small. Natural distribution of odds. ,)

well, I got 14 level 2's to go against that theory.

But anyway, I also use "5,4,-,3,2,1" as you, but my reason is not mathematical but practical: levels lower then 4 have no place in my team, so I rather risk with even a 1% chance than taking a 3.

well it is dependant on they use weighted random or not

by the looks of mine there is a balanced between 5s,4s,3s,2s
9 - 5s
9 - 4s
12 - 3s
9 - 2s
2 -1s
7 - unknowns

Because there is a low number in the sample the balance will not necessarily be visible.

Mathematically odds with current knowledge of the generation system (which is nothing except some sort of random) gives a 3/5 chance they will be 3stars or more.

if from 5 til 2 is balanced then I might have a great chance of my random ones being 3 or higher, sine i alreayd got 14 2's.

Does eveybody have a very small quantity of 1s?

I do...here is my breakdown:
7-5's
12-4's
9-3's
7-2's
2-1's
11-unknowns

Granted I do have a good amount of unknowns.

I invested $10000 last week (only been playing a week), and I got the following:

7 x 5's
8 x 4's
5 x 3's
3 x 2's
1 x 1

And a huuuge list (23) of -'s! But that's ok, I'd say that's pretty generous for one weeks investment.

Of the above ratings, 5 had grades. 2 A's, 1 B-, 1 C+ and 1 C-.

I agree. Especially for only 10K.......
could the prior owners investments carried over??? If there was a prior owner?

It must have, even if it wasn't supposed to. Some options I can think of:

1. The prior owners points carried over (i was told this didn't happen)
2. The scouting works very differently from what we understand in terms of distribution through the various levels.
3. The scouting is somehow wrong?
