Hi,

I currently have 42 scouting points for the upcoming draft/scouting.

Is that enough points? Is there anything i need to focus on when participating in it?

Thank you

He looks fantastic.
Make sure you finish with the worst record if you want to be guaranteed to get him

80 draft points? That feels like an inefficient way to use them.

Personally, if I'm finishing last and want the best trainee, I use group demonstration to scout the bottom 19 talents, then single scout the other 29 individually for a total of 39 points.
I'll then double scout the 5 star draftees, which probably brings me up to around 80. The downside is I don't know their exact stats. But seriously, who cares? They're going to be dramatically changed after 10 seasons of training.

The upside is I get to double scout and know the age and potential of every single 5-ball prospect in the draft. Potential is everything. I don't care what their stats are. I care what they can be. There's a world of difference between superstar potential and HoF potential.

Make sure to know their potential before drafting them. 5/5 is fantastic, that's all you can ask for.
