20. Draftaholic (Silver) — Complete 5 Draft Events.

21. Good on Paper (Gold) — Draft a team with an OVR greater than 82 in Draft Champions.

Tips: To unlock this trophy you will need to draft a team with an overall of at least 83.

The bad news is this trophy is 25% football knowledge and 75% luck. The reason it is luck based is because you are at the mercy of the cards. If you keep being offered position players you have already drafted then your team will not improve enough.

The good news is you have an unlimited amount of attempts to try for this trophy. If you fail to draft an 83 OVR team then simply quit out of your first game and try again. But note that you will not be able to re-draft for 15 minutes.

The best strategy I can give is this:

Try to choose a good coach. I know most times you won’t get that chance, it’s not necessary but it helps a bit if you do. Bad coaches will start your team at 72 OVR, average coachers at 73 OVR, and good coaches at 74 OVR. I’m still compiling a list which coaches belong in which tiers.

Know your coach’s schemes to draft efficiently. i.e. don’t draft two DTs if your coach runs a 3-4 defense; and conversely, don’t draft two MLBs if he runs a 4-3 defense.

Next tip is to never upgrade the same position twice. Your starting roster has 22 spots but you only have 15 rounds to draft players. So no matter what seven of you players will suck (71-73 OVR rating). And only significant upgrades at starting positions will raise your teams overall. So having two great players at the same position will absolutely do nothing good for your team. So let’s say you drafted an 87 RE in the 3rd round, don’t go and draft JJ Watt in the 10th round because he’s available. Sure he’s the best RE in the game but drafting him over your already 87 RE is only a +4 and will not help you. This goes for all positions.

Draft highly rated rare positions first. What this means is if there is only one position in your starting lineup, then choose that over positions where there are two. I.e. you only have one starter at QB or RB but two starters at WR or CB. This helps because later in the draft you will pull a deck with high rated players from positions you have already drafted (this will happen). You can double up on corners but not RTs.
