The question I have, about draft. I was never in those boots, but if a manager has 70 players on his senior team, do 3 players from the draft enter the team automatically, or does he have a choice to fire them without having to pay them anything?

Not the very important question, obviously, cause their salary would be minimal anyway. But just to formally know, if there can be any advantage at all not to do any sorting of the draft list, if you don't expect to get a player who might make the team.

edit: Other than the cost of time spent sorting it


Roster limitations

Manual in short: However, you can draft players or pull youngsters, no matter how many players your team has. The warning levels and the actions taken are as follows: Roster limitations

Yes, I know there is a limit and that I should try not to have more than 70 players on a roster come the next training session.

But my question is if dropping those 3 draftees can be completely cost-free, i.e. _not accepting_ them? Or is accepting draftees automatic? I.e regardless if I'd prefer not even take a look at them prior to firing, if that would cost me a penny.


edit: May be I'll just wait 24 hours rather than spamming you with such questions :-D

As you can notice from my team's flag, I live in Nepal (+5:45 hours).
Which means the draft (and Training) takes place at a convenient mid-morning time

Thanks for the tip about the Players Trophies' page. I didn't explore that menu item yet

As far as I know, the players get on your roster, no matter what.
Once they are on your roster, you have to deal with them as any other player.
They have the basic contract until season end, so firing them will cost you a bit, not too much, bit it will cost you.
You can try to sell them, cut them or keep them.
If you keep them until next training the limitation rules do apply.
But honestly ... 70 players + 3 drafties? Better sort your roster and get rid of whatever is just taking roster space.

Sure, all fine. Still, I think it will be only be an unspectacular event. At one moment no round has happened and on the next, the round is done and you have a new player. It's not like NFL draft with time between picks and deals and so on. Just an algorithm doing the pick based on the managers sortings.

First round got me a DB with good speed and likely OK strength.
2 Traits will give him a good bonus.

Well, actually, the opposite was true: it was quite a spectacle!

Opening the "Draft Board" page, in the bottom half of the screen, there are 3 buttons:
- show all the selections at once
- one by one (manual)
- one by one (automatic)

and with the 15th pick of the 1st round, the Tokha Tigers selcted..... our TOP CHOICE

New franchise QB, formerly named Giorgio Bianchi

in your experience, Fearsome is a useful trait in a Safety?

OK, if you like it, great.
The button is also there, when the draft is over.
How was it in real time?

With so many BOTs in the league even at a very high number of drafting, like 29, or 30, chances are high to get one of the top 5 sorted players.

I got this season my #4 pick.

Some comments one the QB you selected:
- quite old at 22, still you will get 9 seasons (including this) out of him. For a new team, not bad.
- INT 50 is of course great, 2 traits also
- his str and spe are I hope for you not capped yet. If you scout the QBs of the top teams, you will see, that they prefer a high spe value, say 48+ to avoid sacks. The str is likely for the zip, so the more the better, but not crucial. Usually they have 40+, more likely 45+. That's the reason, why INT 50, SPE 50 players often get sold for a high price.
- EXP 4.0 is good, Talent 5.0 is not so important, since you won't train him to 50 soon, because of wage issues.
