Hmmm...good question.

I do think the economics and players available to a division I team might be somewhat different than the rest of us, so maybe its not quite so pointless.

I do wonder though how the draft will be view in higher division. I'm sure players are spending more on scouting, in most leagues there are fewer bots in the higher divisions -- so as a result there will be more competition for the 5-star players in the draft and you wouldn't get as many good players.

I do wonder if they'll ever make the players better in the higher league drafts to compensate for these issues.

well i invested 10k a week for only ht elast 6-7 weeks so im not expecting much feedback.....

my biggest regret in HT was forking out for YA and YT when i wouldve been better off handpicking someone to train with the base stats i needed from the TL as and when i needed them

it just seems like a crap shoot unles there are to be some gems to be unturned.... a 4k player would have to have almost faultless stats in the areas you were training in order not to have to turn your nose up at him...

or am i too picky?!

Well...you could always sell him.

But I think that the Div. I teams are probably looking for a lot better players than the rest of us.

Are you still playing HT? Which team?

They have improved the YA now, so maybe dedicated players can make some cash finally.

based on salary range alone.... once your team has been established for 1 season then surely anything else other than a 5 star would just be binned or TL?


Not necessarily.

One of my top trainees (and current USA NTer) was a draftee.

My finances are such that I can pull a Ron Popeil with the $40K/week - set it and forget it.

A CT? Really?
Any two will do
Any three for me
Any four will score
Any five are live

I rank three stars ahead of unknowns, and 2 and 1 stars behind unknowns.

Does 1-star players exist??
This is my first draft. I have information on about 25 players, and none of them have only one star. 9 players have 2 stars and about 6 have 3 stars. I automatically put the ones with 3 stars below the unknowns, as I thought that it couldn't be much worse.

Is that a bad idea?

1 stars definately exist, havent worked out whether there are even proportions of every star type though.

you would have a few 1* as unknowns, so be weary when ordering your draft list

OK. I just had 7 5-star players out of 24 examined, and thought "Hey, there's lots of good players out there. Might as well put 3-star players below unknowns."

I'll give it another thought.

I put 3* C+ above unknown, but ordinary 3* after. I would rather having the chance of getting a 4 or 5 * instead of a (weak??) 3*. I expect 4 and 5* to be worth much more than 3*

Hi all

if there are a lot of bot teams in my league will they pick new talents or can active managers pick the best players?

Sry if somebody asked the question already.

bots pick random, so they could pick a very good, but could also pick a poor player.
therefor a team who arranges an order will on average have better draftplayers.

They are not your friends; they dispise you. I am the only one you can count on. Trust me.
