In my experience a POT 12 with very good potential is usually better then a POT 13 with good potential, but really you need to evaluate the player's skill distribution and decide for yourself. I've seen "very good" guys who are heavy on defense that I would never want in my lineup. EDIT: That "very good" vs. "good" has to do with the game's valuation of the player based on their skill distribution, so its a good, but not perfect estimate of value which is much better then POT. POT is simply the sum of all SI; you can get really bad players with 14 POT. Updated Saturday, October 17 2015 @ 12:05:39 pm PDT
