DraftTwice a season there is a draft in each league. In the week of the draft, there are no new players from the academy. You will be able to see the draft eligible players for your league four weeks before the draft. You can use these four weeks to scout these players. The only thing you know about them is their name, career longevity, preferred side and position. Every day you can scout as many players as you have selections in the draft plus one extra player. You will get the scouting report on the following day.Scouting will reveal the estimate of potential of a player (A+, A, B, C or D). The accuracy of this estimate depends on the level of your human resources and economic department and the scouting efficiency of managers. In each draft, there may be up to four players who are so-called hidden gems. Therefore don't lose hope of finding a quality player in the later rounds of the draft. Scouting of draft eligible players is independent from regular scouting of players and staff. The number of your selections in the draft depends on the level of your sports academy and the efficiency of your sporting directors' youth training. You can have a minimum of 1 selection and a maximum of 5 selections. There are two types of draft. In the first type, the team with the best academy and sporting directors with the highest youth training efficiency has the biggest chance to pick first. This type of draft takes place in week 8. In the second type, the team in the last place in the league will have the biggest chance of picking first. This type of draft takes place in week 16. In both types of draft, the draft order is determined by the draft lottery in which every team can move up or down by a maximum of 3 places. Draft order is reversed after each round of the draft. That means, that the team that picks first in the first round, picks last in the second round. Draft is conducted online at the time designated for that country. Every manager will have one minute to make a pick. If you are not online, the players are selected automatically from the top of the list. You will see the attributes of the players that you picked one to three days after the draft. The attributes will be influenced by the level of your sports academy and sporting directors. You will have time to decide whether you want to sign these players or not until the arrival of the new players from the academy. |
