I'm in an almost all bot league but the only guy in front of me and I want the players in the draft, after investing 70+ points I found 2 5 star potential player with reasonable skills (at least in the revealed categories) to make the point investment very worthwhile if I'm lucky (let's hope they are all-time-greats =) ) and a very nice future trainee of 4 star potential with a very good OD and ID skills.

In other words I want the 3 of them, should I try to loose all my games against the bots from now on? or them being bots would allow me to get the players?


Is this strange luck on my league or it has been an increase in potential in this draft?

It could happen that only you will pick the draftees.


For example, when I was in a all bot league, only 3 players, that i chose where drafted. Check Domantas Sirokinas draft ceremony and you'll see

That was a 1-time bug, bots do draft players.

So losing games decreases the chance a bots draft a player you want before you, but by the time round 3 rolls around there's a decent chance your 3rd choice is picked in the previous rounds, no matter if you're 1st or last.
