Subject: New Prospects

I have no luck at all this hole season. If this is just luck then why are we upgrading SA? I am doing it not just for myself but to get some good prospect for our NT, without luck anyway.

slavko, I'm testing a theory that having similiar attys in youth/player training gives you better pulls. I had about 5 crap pulls in a row all on SA level 9 and up, with SD's like yours.

I switched to 2 SD's that are 25/20ish and 21/21 for Youth/Player, and my last 2 pulls have been good. This one was probably my best or second best.

So there's evidence to support my theory, but also evidence against. I'm going to do a few more pulls with my current SD setup, and if I get 2-3 more decent pulls, I'm going to say this theory is correct.

Otherwise, I'll go along with the "luck" camp.

If I could convince more people to try testing out this theory, I'd have a bigger data pool to draw from, but I can understand it if people don't want to "waste" their pulls on a theory.

I'm quite happy thus far.

How about if you have one SD 41/16 and other 17/42?
I would love to try your theory, but first I have to find SD with similar attys. If I do find it by next pull I will let you know.

Sounds good. I actually went out and bought a couple guys to test my theory. Shockingly enough SD's that aren't horrible skewed are fairly reasonably priced on the market.

SA 9:
SD H: 28/15, A: 23/20 (28/15 was 28/8)

4 pulls, 1 was 160ish OR with 1-1,5 stars potential, he got rejected.

3 pulls I did accept:
Goa Def Off Sho Pas Tec Agr Exp
19 75 49 87 23 53 41 99 38 52 30 66 41 99 0

Goa Def Off Sho Pas Tec Agr Exp
20 25 22 17 46 68 32 50 36 50 26 61 32 52 0

Goa Def Off Sho Pas Tec Agr Exp
17 47 21 18 43 61 33 62 38 59 36 55 33 46 0

The first player is 3rd in my top5 list for average qualities. That would put his AQ between 70 and 75%.

Not bad.. Not jaw droppingly amazing, but not bad. I notice you're training the 28/15 guy... Thanks for helping me test my theory.

Are you going to continue doing that?

Yes, he's going straight for 28/28, the other guy will go for 23/23.

I'll keep you posted on my pulls, SA upgrade won't happen for a while yet.

Here are my prospects from 2 weeks ago, all scouted, attributes as they were at time of pull. SDs were 28/14 and 23/18 at the time.

Goa Def Off Sho Pas Tec Agr
22 78 29 80 46 81 38 71 29 51 29 45 27 56

Goa Def Off Sho Pas Tec Agr
16 57 21 58 42 62 37 56 35 56 24 43 28 51

Goa Def Off Sho Pas Tec Agr
15 23 44 67 24 64 24 34 36 60 22 31 31 67

Goa Def Off Sho Pas Tec Agr
21 51 21 53 46 63 33 62 35 60 32 48 37 57

Man, the secondary Q's on those 4 are very average... Definitely keep me in the loop on your pulls as you go on.

SA level 9
SD 46/15, 37,16

Timothy Weir scouted:

20 (88) 22 (50) 55 (99) 42 (77) 47 (94) 47 (99) 53 (73)

So center Q's: 99/94/99 +77ShoQ

I have my new #1 Centre in the wings. Here's hoping I can train him up fast for the NT.

I got one guy with OR 114 from my Level 10 SA. I just shook my head.

cool - I just pulled a 306OR goalie - 6/6....now, just need to get him experience....

SwimmingMatters, could I ask you what Sa level/Sports Directors attributes you have?

Goalie = Best Type of Pull. Especially if they have solid Qs. Then you're set
