I think this is a good idea myself.

What wasn't a good idea was using CP on Mr Moore's SET skill ;-)

I'd also find it helpful Al.

Yes, somewhat useful, though I have a spreadsheet that does womething similar already

I've added this feature to (only) the Team Landing page. This is the "pt" standing for "Potential" column you will see in the top section of the page.  

Bear in mind that this is a "potential" grade these players could get to.  And they ONLY get to it if they are grown to the maximum of their key skills.

Here are a couple of examples.

Baton Rouge

I doubt any team is better than the Baton Rouge Bananas with 8 players in the A-, A, or A+ range (2 sophomores are A+ potential).  Although Kevin is right behind with 7.  

Cincinnati

Then there's Mr. James Tucker.  He "only" has 5 players in the A-, A, or A+ range. The key for that is 4 of them are Freshman.

The Hogs had a great recruiting class last season and that's where it pays off (eventually) as these players grow.  

Keep in mind though that none of those players start as "A" level players.  They have to earn it with CP growth.  

What can you takeaway from all of this?

Players at the A level will help your team in the big matches.  But they aren't easy to get (typically 5 star recruits).

Players at the B grade (especially B+) are key as well to both helping your team and depth at positions.  

I think the main takeaway is to not focus on the "current grade" when making CP decisions but also the potential.  For me, somehow, I have 4 RS players.  My senior is great, but before seeing the potential, its not as clear if the Jr or Fr is better.  Well, the Freshman will be much better, so I have to stay focused on getting improvements in for him (and playing time to grow XPs).  

Please let me know if this is useful for you and any initial thoughts on how you'll use it as you may have another angle or thought process.  

i think this is certainly useful in helping you focus on the right players especially in making those tough choices with running out resources

Huge help to me, Al, thank you!

Please stop helping people to beat me.

If everyone has to wing it, like I do, then I stand an even money chance of success.

Stop being helpful

Great work. Even though it shows me how bad my team will be in two years when my Juniors are gone.

Typical of Al to accidentally forget to.mention his team has 9 such A- to A+ potentials.

I'd like to thank Craig "Winging It" Bucknall for his feedback.  😎

Steve may be right that I intentionally, accidentally forgot to mention the statistics he notes...  😎

Maybe there could be a little symbol at the bottom of the column that confirms whether you're screwed. 

This is FANTASTIC Al. This is something I've definitely felt would be a great help. I can kinda get a feel for how good players are going to be by their recruiting stars, but then you get the random skill assignment and suddenly a 5-star can become just an overpriced 3-star and it's sometimes hard to tell. This addition is SUPER helpful. 

I do like knowing that Antioch has 6 potential A players (but no A+ players...). 

This has been somewhat helpful for me as I navigate how lineups and training works.

Thanks Al

Thanks Jason, Rob, and Matt for the feedback.

Jason: Oh the symbol is there, you just have to look a little harder...😎

Rob: Thanks Rob!

Matt: That's great to hear!

Personally...

I LOVE THIS!  It really helps me focus where I should be putting my CP (and generating XPs) and where I should not...
