I have been playing a fictional league for 10 years and now want to convert to a "stats only" league. I have some questions and I know there are some postings here, but looking for clarification:

(1) What do you do about international free agents since they don't show stats? Do you just rely on written scouting text? Or is there are way to turn off international free agents?

(2) If you turn off international free agents, how do you get international players into your league? I read something about feeder leagues. My understanding was that feeder leagues are for high school and college players (not necessarily international free agents).

(3) I have read that the best AI settings for a stats only league is 0/67/22/11. I notice when using this the AI makes some weird decisions, and I tested this. For example, having an all star starting picture become a reliever role. Anyway, I'm thinking of still allocation 20% to ratings, since I will still use the "Other Ratings" and the AI seems to make better decisions. Plus, I will have some access and will be evaluating non-stats data too. Do you think this is OK?

Thank you!!
