I'm working on my draft board rankings and wanted to know at what potential rating would you start ranking 4/5* 19 yo higher than their 18 yo counterpart with Potential and Grade Rating (and height...I guess lol) being equal? I know there's some merit to ranking a 5* 19 year old over a 5* 18 year old, but would there also be a case if each prospect was a 4*?

Prioritizing 5* 19 yos with 2/1* potential over their 18yo counterparts seems like a no-brainer to me. I wouldn't seriously consider training a 1* potential player, but my league level is low-enough to were I wouldn't mind having a 5* (maybe 4*, depending on the opinions I get on this post ;D) 19yo with 2* potential as a low-priority trainee.

How would you prioritize 4/5* 18 and 19yos with 3* potential...this is where I'm having the hardest time coming to a decision?

Lastly, I'd really appreciate it if you can explain your reasoning a bit—thanks guys!

Hi, how to enter the tutorial?

I clicked skip it first and I cannot find it now..

Go to the Preferences page to see if there's an option to turn it on.

To me, even if they both have 5-star current ability, a 19-year-old needs to have many skills at level 8 or 9 to be more appealing, because a 19-year-old has already missed a valuable season of training (with the Youth Trainer).
As for the comparison between players with the same 4-star rating, I don't know.

Hello,

Just a silly question:

I plan to retire all my older players before the salary/new season update so that I would not pay the salaries, but will the championship we won this season still show up on their "accomplishments" in the career stats section if I retire them today?

Thank you! :)

when will the draft be?

Hi!

Does anyone know why the Bonus for the Championship has not been paid yet? It should be another 250k in addition to the promotion Bonus to league II
Of 750k that has already been paid 2 days ago or yesterday.

Thanks and best regards
Ole
