Drafting using stats only in a fictional league?

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering about how those of you who play fictional leagues using stats only settings do drafting, since new players have zero performance up to that point, and there are no ratings to use.

Do you just have new players arrive to the rosters, and use trading alone to alter the team as needed?

I would think you would need feeder leagues that provide stats to evaluate.

Do they not generate with fictional HS or College stats?

Glad to help ... I've never tried doing a "stats only" league, this game stresses me out enough with ratings lol
