Potential in players during the draft

By Jono

There are a couple of drafts happening in some of my leagues right now and I noticed that some players show a +1 or -1 in the potential value where it shows their actual/potential growth since the beginning of their creation or the season. (example: from start: +0/+1 this season: +0/+1)

I was curious, is this a trustworthy indication that the player will most likely increase in their potential if they have a +1 and vice versa? I haven't been playing long enough or paid enough attention to have seen what happens either way.

No, it's not an indicator of anything, more likely is a rounding error. I thought I had fixed it but will check it out (could you post a link to one of the player pages in question?)

It doesn't show it on his page in the progress tab, but you can see it on the draft board when you click on the player information

I notice this a lot when I draft a player and then immediately change the player's position to something else.
