Position Draft Importance

When building a team, it’s important to understand which positions will give you the most production. A player’s importance to the team is going to be based upon a couple of factors including play time, tier level, player abilities, and a gamer’s play style. Putting together a team that meets a goal for a defensive style and an offensive style is tricky due to the 11 player Star limitation.

In order to get the most from your players, the positions that are on the field the most often should be your prime candidates when drafting. Below is a suggested priority to weight players that should be on a team.
