lol.

So this is what I have spent hours doing....

In a spreadsheet I am inputing all the relevant skills of the draftees by position. I choose the skills that are consistently higher for that position.

I then average out those scores. I use those scores subtract a good youth pull's total numbers for those skills.

Example: Say I thought that for a cb the only skills that mattered were speed, vision, pos, and tackle.

The average speed was 46, tackle 25, vision 23, and pos 15. The total average was 111. The average age of those draftees was 21.

A good youth pull at 16 years old would be 26 speed, and 20 to 25 combined for the other three skills. So lets say speed and others equal 50. I would take 111-50= 61. That 61 is about how much that youth would need to make up by the time they get to 21 years old. At first thought it would seem that it is reasonable for the player to gain 10 sp a year through training without using YA points. (I use YA points on one player only and man is he going to be a beast!) I then use that reasoning to apply towards 17 year olds and 18 year olds by adding 10 to the total expected aggregate of that player at that time.

So a 17 year old would need a composite score of 70 an 18 year old 80, 19 yo=90 20 yo=100.

I am doing this for each position. It will help guide me on the TM when looking at youth...I think. lol. Am I insane? Is this just over thinking?

It sounds like you are having fun. (As the sex ed teacher said, "If it's not fun, you're doing it wrong.")

While I'm at it, I absolutely detest the draft board in the way it functions. I mean, damn, you go and rearrange it...then your finger brushes across the mouse pad when you are scrolling up and accidently click arrange by... That sucks when you have to set it up all over again. Shouldn't we have some sort of "lock" function or something that is a button to resort by "default setting" which is the order you "saved" them in. Heck, a way to rank them and have that the order arrange button would be awesome.

Sorry for the rant, just got a little frustrated for a minute....

All good now....

No, sorry. all sort actions are done live in the database, not in the frontend only. This would result in a second order I would have to store.
