Perfect Draft Tips

professor ape · 05-31-2022, 04:07 PM

Hey all,

I’m starting to dabble in Perfect Draft when I have time to go through a draft. What do you think about these thoughts when building a roster:

- Go for historical cards as they typically have better ratings than Live cards with the same Overall rating.
- Focus on a couple of strong starting pitchers
- Lean towards strong D at SS, CF, and C
- Do you go for a 12 or 13 man pitching staff?

What am I missing?

I have been successful this year in PD using the following stategy:
- Like you, historicals only, especially above Bronze
- I have to have four strong SP. Two is not enogh. And set to always start highest rested.
- D at SS and CF is correct. Catcher not so much this year. More offense is better.
- 13-man staff is essential since days off have to be earned by winning in tournaments.
- Make sure there are both LH and RH relievers in the pen, heavy on stamina if possible as they may be used often
- I do a lot of tinkering with the sliders, but it's probably more fun than it is necessary
