The draftee market is on fire right now, so it's a good time to make observations. Here are mine:

1) There were/are some pretty good 19 yo players on the market. They are not far off the ones already being trained for a season but still I haven't yet found a guy that I would preffer over a ~50 TSP 18 y.o.

2) Max TSP for an 18 y.o. draftee (9+ pot) trained for a season -> 77 (currently 16 players on TL over 69TSP).

3) Max TSP for a new 19 y.o. draftee (9+ pot) -> 69.

------------------------------------------------------

A summary of the suggestions in the discussion:

9.49 as a new limit is probably better/safer than 9.99

A max TSP for 19 y.o. (~70-75) to make sure there are no exceptional 19 y.o. draftees

As an alternative: keeping the current max (8.99) but rising the overall TSP of 19 y.o. somehow


Based on this info I maintain my disposition that we need to see the overall quality of 19 y.o. draftees increased once again (nothing drastic though). Looking forward to some more comments and votes!

Forgot to mention a very important point:

Buying a 19 y.o. reduces cost of training (you only pay for one season of youth trainer)

This adds a crucial decision-making step, which is great imo. One can easily still get 15-16 pops at a minimal cost (4/4 coaches, no gym). That means 70+ TSP after one season of training on a 54-55 TSP 18 y.o. draftee (those are quite common). And there no 70+ 19 y.o. draftees right now - none.

Thanks for the feedback! I hope we will find the best way to make 19 year-olds viable (but still not better) prospects.

HN/DV pops are different than OD/ID pops, buddy.

But yeah, it's 50/50 between a 60 TSP 18 yo and a 75 TSP 19 yo new draftee, I'd say. Depends on training plans, position trained etc.
