thank you jack

know how it works helps make strategie

sure it is depend on how others draft especially how bot teams draft

but i see you understand that need to avoid to example draft 3 for same position so maybe we start again a new proposal in suggestion part of forum maybe there are more manager having same problem and supporting


That was my test environment suggestion:

I have one issue left, which I think is a reasonable suggestion but also needs database changes.

Think about the following situation.

You scouted all the players and sorted them according your needs and your rating system (what ever that might be).

Let's say you need a Kicker and you have found 3-4 options and you put them somewhere in the middle.

Now the draft beginns and since you are late to pick the job selects the first K in the second round, because all other players were taken.
OK, K in the second might be too high, but you sorted it that way.
In the third round, all other players are taken, but that kickers you have put in the spots behind that first kicker.
Now you have a second kicker!

You can interchange the positions as you like, the thing is by sorting the players, you might get more than you need of that position.

So it would be nice not only to sort the players, but also to put in the positions needed.
When the player is on the clock, the jobs checks for the positions and the sorting. Highest available player is taken.
Once the position was taken, the job decides only within the rest.
If no player of that position is available, take the highest sorted player.

What do you think?

Peters opinion was, that it is heavy to implement and hard to understand.

True in both points, but maybe worth to think about it.

Peter put after that discussion that "any/first round/second/third"-Stuff, which from my point of view is useless. *sorry Peter*

So then it is twice a week? Perhaps the limit message could read " You have scouted XX players this training period already." Instead of the current " You have scouted XX players this week already."

Just and idea so there is clarification.

Yes, the message is misleading.

It was setup when gameday was only on saturday.
Peter did then speed up the game.

Let's keep it at the moment as it is, since there are many other things on the list that will be more important to do. However, I want to have aspare time job in a few seasons too, we could take another run on it then. Is this OK for the moment?

@sfniner: on ToDo

Since this thread is all about the draft, I figure I can ask another clarifying question here.

I am in League "Galaxy 2.1". Does that mean that my pool of players available for the draft is different from all other leagues? Each league has 96 players for its draft?

some have i think the fair is to have 288 player in the draft and Galaxy 2.1 , Galaxy 2.2 and Galaxy 1.1
that way second division team have a better chance to get the top team but that is just my opinion
