Great info, thank you for that. I'll use it in my draft philosophy accordingly.

Finally, just drafted a mid 30's overall QB, high 70's future. What is most likely the best strategy for him? Bench for a few years? Or just throw him to the wolves straight away? :)

Pretty sure I read players improve the most when playing?

I'd make sure he plays a lot in the preseason and then just play your guy with the best current rating during the regular season.

And on the back of that, I wondered what sort of potential changes occur, in terms of range. 5 points? 10? 50?! :)

Thank you!


I've seen a number of players go +10 on potential in MFN-19, including three on my own team. And there was a post in the main forums about a player going +20 in the main forums. The guy that I'm curious about is this one: http://mfn19.myfootballnow.com/player/3980

He's already +12 potential at the start of his second year. Note his draft position.

My FS is
From Start: +39/+25

He's now 81 future so he was 56 when he got drafted.

This is the player I was thinking about when I referenced a thread about a player improving 20+ potential above. Thanks for posting it again.
