Hi Guys

Loving the game. I have scouted 5 LB for the draft and Im not sure which one is a better choice because I dont know if I should place more emphasis on Int & TW or if the attributes should be more important like strength, speed and tackling. Below is the list of the attributes of each. Please rank them for me and let me know why.

Age Talent Strength Speed Tackling Vision Positioning Intel TW
1 18 4.5 46 50 22 19 24 47 38
2 18 3.5 46 44 19 26 26 50 39
3 19 3.5 37 43 30 23 28 50 45
4 19 5 40 33 30 23 18 47 36
5 20 4 37 43 32 20 17 50 27

Thanks

Intel is the one that can't be changed that is important. It is possible that the strength and speeds might be capped already...

Tough choices but I think number 4 is the last one I would choose.


I do like 2 a lot but the tackling is lower. Tackling is the one thing you know you can still train up. #2 has the second best strength speed total, 50 inte, the best vision, and second best pos. So since you can train up tackling I would choose number 2 as my top choice.

Personally, and this is just my opinion, my order would be the following but understand the difference between some of them is minimal...

#2
#3
#5
#1
#4

I've got similar thinking to Sfniner08, but different results ! ....

I don't like (4) ...ignore Talent for now, a 5* talent trained to 50 will cost $503k per week ...nobody will ever afford a full roster of 5*.
Also, (4) could cap at 40/35.

Similar thinking for (5), he could be red-capped now at 37/43.

Intel is 47 or 50 for all ... so that's fine, nothing to differentiate.

I like (1) & (2) .... I'd go for (1) first, slight edge in physicals and more Talent (now I'm disregarding my own rule about ignoring Talent )

For me you already have them in the order I'd rank them .

I ignore Tackling, Vision, Positioning. They can be trained. 18yo > 19 or 20 yo, because you get another season of training.

#1 and 2 would both rank very high on my board.

- #1 - 50 Speed is a gift that should not be ignored. OLB monster, or better yet, move him to DE.
- #2 - very close - almost 1A . He's your MLB monster with max Intel.

#3, 4, and 5 all have things I worry about, so they would drop on my board. Probably still in top 32 or so, but not top 10, like #1 and 2.
- #3 - Love his TW; don't much care for his Strength. 3.5* talent is okay but not exciting. Some risk here due to capping potentials.
- #4 - Speed is low. If you get him consider moving him to DT/NT.
- #5 - Hate his TW. He's the oldest, weakest, and will train the slowest. You can do better. He probably sits near the middle of my board.

(off-topic:

1) Welcome to the game!!

2) remember - if you use a Level 1 Scout, there is some 'fuzzimess' in your scouting reports. So that Speed=50, might be lower, etc. Not a huge problem, but something to keep in mind.

3) the off-season is a bit long. Wait to start building your stadium until the EOS rollover, to avoid maintenance fees while there are no scheduled games. Set up Friendlies. Keep an eye on your Forecast (the"Team" dropdown menu).

4) Good luck!!

I´ve never seen a draft player with a non physical skill of 30 or more.

So don´t forget I think you used a lvl 1 scout.

Every skill could be +/- 5 skillpoints.

So It is very difficult to say this one is my best choice because the skills including Int, TW and the physicals could be 5 points less than written by you.

So I would say No 1 is my choice because the physicals will be minimum 41 and 45.

first of all i would not use 1 level scout 5.0 + or - is to much
but if i calculate have much you can train your player until the get 27 years + the skill they already have (whit one level scout)
then player
1 can get 269 point
2 can get 260 point
3 can get 251 point
4 can get 242 point
5 can get 236 point
Intelligence do not have so much different so we can ignore that player 1 and 2 have good physical skill
so i would pick it in this order
12435 1 and 2 because of physical 4 because there are not big different of the player 3 and 4 except talent and 5 is the "worst" of them
