GRADED: Academy Task #5: Top Draft Prospects on Paper.
#1
First things first, I am not going to act like I know everything going on in people's heads, but I am going to look over the top statistical players in the Academy and how they might be able to build for the future and their overall career.

Goalkeepers are the vital backbone of any team without a good goalie no team can go anywhere. Looking in the upcoming draft there is a few goalies who are looking decent on paper and may have the future of the league in their hands.

The First Goalie is Snor Lax from Japan. Good Handling Aerial Reach and Reflexes Snor Lax is built for the big moments. However Snor is the only one in the Academy with a Loss on his record making him not looking good on paper but from my point of view he was a good chance to be the future.

The Second Goalie is Maverick Jones who is built with Mental attributes being ultimate Composure and Concentration build. While Maverick is build for the mental game his reflexes aren't lacking he can jump shots in time however he is lacking in command of the area if he's not in the right spot there's a high chance the ball is going in the net.

The Final Goalie and possibly the best of the three is Chicken McTendie. Chicken is very well rounded however his command of the area is his down fall along with his one on one command he doesn't have much chance to stop the ball, even with high reflexes.

Defense this draft class is very lacking being not made much at all. However there is about 2 guys I can see that have a chance to build to the future.

Firstly is Carolina Salazar a Wingback who can play up to the wing and shoot the ball. Carolina is the antithesis to Defense having no defensive stats attributes but he has the ability to build into a counter attacking specialist being a passing and dribbling specialist.

Secondly is Kori Mizukana from Japan, a more traditional Defensive back. Being a more traditional Defensive player specializing in tackling and positioning Kori is a backbone of defense being a traditional player who is rare in this draft class and will have the chance to be one of the first people off the board if they continue improving.

Midfield is overflowing with players being the Face of the class in general. Midfielders have been playing from defense to pure midfield to attacking midfield they are the most versatile position to the point one team went with a all midfield lineup.

First off Pope Francis has been a underrated player who has been keeping everything together for their team. Being the leader of the the team Pope is leading the team towards the future with passing technique that is unrivaled in the academy. Being a slower build Pope Francis is built for the future as a Defensive midfielder on paper and has the chance to be a anchor for the midfield of any team.

There are too many Midfielders to point out that I have to cut it short but all of them have the chance to be building blocks for the future.

Strikers are another rare position filled in the current Academy class however what Strikers there are are dominant being scoring leaders in the league.

First off Roy Rivers, who is tied for the #2 goal leader in the league having 5 goals at the time of writing, Roy is a good scoring threat who can play from any area on the attacking side of the field. Roy doesn't look like a playmaker on paper, but he is underrated, on paper being a good passer who has good instincts of when to score and when to pass.

Secondly Dissa Pointment, who is #4 in scoring goals wise, is a threat to shoot all the time having one of the strongest legs in the academy. Being a Athletic monster being able to reach top speed quickly, although top speed is limited, they have a chance to take things quick and get into a scoring position off of the cross and off a long ball pass.

Ultimately this draft class is deep in some areas weaker in others. Being that this class has so many players on paper I am interested in seeing who goes where and when someone will step up to be the leader of the pack.
