how do you do it?

another off the chart draft pick

while poor zyler spent 40k had first pick and got a star with pitiful def

and i got my 10th 11th and 12th bad pick in a row

drafts are never kind to me :(

all of the good players in this draft must have been hiding behind 3 grey balls grrrrrrrr for me as they are he only ones who did not get scouted :(

Well my strategy is quite simple. When I draft, I don't use both 10 point options. I use the one which shows the age and height of the players, then I simply scout-interview the ones I want for the type I will be training. So if I'm after a guard, I won't scout-interview players who are over a certain height even if they're 18. Saves me a lot of money and ensures my points are invested where I want them to be.

But it's nobodies fault if the draft just all round sucks, which it did for II.1.

Well i am just happy as my plan is to train my PG's up over the next 2-3 seasons and my two aussie ones i have shall do my perfectly

iwen, same strategy as me

0 interest in 19 year olds or tall players

but i only spend 20k a week

maybe that is why i get crap each season

I only spent 20k a week too, I just got lucky, he was the only good player in the draft. I checked all the other teams, so much crap..

I got two reasonably skilled 18 year olds with starter potential and a reasonably skilled superstar who is 19.

if only you could swap the potential of no 3 with one of the others

dont think starters are even worth training but i have to say if you ever were going to, a 7k dude with all 7s in his big man skills would be it, he will be capped in about 2 seasons but could be triple sensational and a solid d2 contributor - he also wont hurt you too much early in the cup games if you train him there

the 19 year old ss would maybe worth it but that jr is a killer, slowest skills to train and already 19 - sell

the only thing that cheers me up in all of this is that koop, sas and dfbs also got crap

but it is payday for iwen, naker and ezyfrag

I can't believe that is the best you got after spending $40k each week... the draft sucked!

Must be the name of the lady boy they all love.
