Whilst there isn’t a great deal of weight to the player counters and balls they are very good quality with high-quality printing. This is important as you will be relying on the numbers printed on each counter to link to your drafted team. Player Cards The draft is fun and is the start of the game though not a part of the 90 minutes of match time. You deal four keeper cards face down and select one each.
