As a free player I received 3 free boost that I didn't spent yet.
I read here that you can boost every year as also it's best to boost at the end of the season (day 41 according player construction faq)
However, despite the info about the boost price I couldn't find anywhere if you gain more new boost every year.
Because of that I would like to ask you some questions about boosting:
1 - Will I gain any other free boost along my career? If so, is there a number of free per year?
2 - Supposing they are my only free at all, is the three boost per year limit apply also to the free boost? Or, if I don't spend it in this season and decided to buy some in the next season, will I be able to spend 6 boost (3 free and 3 paid) in some other season?
3 - Supposing that I decided to not buy any boost at all for my player and those three are my only ones along his career, do you recommend to spend it now in his first season or wait until my player had a higher level (right now it is level 11)?

1. Your free player will have 3 free boosts every season.

2. You can only boost 3 times per season. If you miss this seasons boost you can't make them back up in later seasons. (with a possible except of boosting an extra 3 times at the end of the career)

3. Question is already answered since you get 3 boosts every season correct?

Well it depends but it's probably best to boost on the last day of the season or the last day you get training points which would be day 48. That said, there are times during your career that you might want to boost earlier in order to increase your veteran experience.

Also to clear up a misconception on your part which probably will clear out some of your concerns on the other questions- You get 3 free boosts every season for your free dots entire career. This means you can get 30 free boosts for the player over their career and can reach level 79.
And if you retire the free player at any point, you can make another one. It's a free player slot, rather than just a free player.

Covered above. You can potentially get up to 30 free boosts for your free player, and if you retire and make a new one, that free player can get up to 30 free boosts.

You can't retroactively use boosts. If you don't use 3 this season, you don't get to take 6 next season. Again some of your misconception should be cleared up by previous answers.

You actually can't "buy" boosts for a free player.

Now to explain something about boosting- When you create a player (right now it's best to create a player in the time period from day 40 to day 48 or whenever the roll over to the next season happens, can sometimes be longer) you want to boost 3 times on day 48 or later.
Call this Season 0. So you will train up to day 48, then boost 3 times (assuming you are not playing in a peewee league).
Season 1 you will likely wait to boost after the season ends (don't have to, but typically best to wait as long as possible to get training gains in this season)
Season 2 you will have to decide whether to boost earlier to get to level 25 to start getting veteran XP. It will reduce your XP slightly compared to someone who doesn't boost early but i think most agree you might as well get the extra VXP since the lost XP will be made up toward the end of your 6th season anyways.

That should help you get going. At the end of this season, i'd probably retire your QB and try again, creating a new player on day 40 or 41 and look for guides to help you figure out how best to build your player.

Don't free players still boost automatically at season rollover? If so, we'll never end up in a situation where a free player has missed boosts. Actually pretty helpful for new players.

They do but you can turn this feature off.

Thank you all for the answers, it really makes the boost concept clear to me now.
