Ha... I am not originally from St Louis. I have lived there for the last 14 years, but I am from Springfield, IL (one of the many homes of the Simpsons!). My wife went to Parkway Central. I got a little chuckle seeing that you're a BvB supporter and I am pulling for Bayern

Anyway... thanks to all who replied, but I have a couple of follow-on questions.

1) When I do accumulate a skill point, does auto assigning the point(s) have any benefit? I guess what I am asking is... does "the game" assign points to areas that lack deficiencies or just throw them anywhere randomly?

2) This one is kind off topic, but close enough. This has ??s within a question... so please bear with me.

When is the best time to sell/buy players for the next season... near the end of the current season or the beginning of the next? I ask for two reasons...

1) I have two players who are at x9, but probably won't progress enough for me to keep them for next season. Should I sell them being on the verge of gaining that next star OR achieve the next star and THEN try to sell them? Which way will be more attractive to potential bidders?

2) When is the best time to buy a scout?

- If I buy them at the end of the season, they will immediatly lose a star, but they will be cheaper than the next level up. AND... I can get it back rather quickly the next season.

OR

- I can buy them at the beginning of the next season and build them up to the next star over the course of the current season

If I have confused anyone... I can try to elaborate or re-explain. Thanks in advance for the advice.
