Well I can counter that with my draft spending history.
  Spent	  Sales	 Season	
  70000	 900000	     S7	
 140000	 230000	     S8	
 140000	 209300	     S9	
 140000	 500000	    S10	
 140000	  60000	    S11	
 140000	   5000	    S12	
 140000	 993300	    S13	
 140000	 158100	    S14	
 140000	 150000	    S15	
 140000	 162900	    S16	
 320000	    ???	    S17	
1650000	3368600	1718600	<- profit


So looking at this, draft is amazing, is it not? For the record. I have always been a playoff team, so these guys have not been drafted early. Exception being this season. Perhaps I'll train this years trainee:D

thats awesome but u must have had a ton of luck

ive been in drafts where there was only 1 guy in the whole draft worth > 100k

& i know a well known team (zyler) who tanked a whole season spent 40k a week 2 find the best player in the whole draft was a $4k all star

until this season i spent more than u every single season but u got better draft picks than me every season with much less info

u gonna tell me there isnt a bit of luck involved?

in fact i think there is probably a lot of cause & effect

u r a very successful team because of ur drafts

having an extra $900k in ur first season thanks 2 the draft is an amazing gift

there is an aussie team adams guns, that randomly drafted a guy #32 who turned out to be the best aussie draftee ever - he sold him for more than $4million and made it to the abbl riding the wave of free money

$4 million for pick 32! that isnt skill that is pure arse

that is why i think the draft is bad
I was just trying to prove a point. Based on your team, you could say draft is bad. Based on my team, you could say draft is good. All I was trying to say is, you can't assume something based on one team. Obviously if there are no profitable draftees in draft, you can't break even. I have a few seasons in there that were exactly like those. You can't say it's just luck aswell as I have constantly been drafting better players while not beeing amongst the first to pick. Ofcourse situations are different, Estonian managers are mostly dissapointed in draft. So looking at the leagues average draft spending you can anticipate the chances of getting a profitable player. You must have a decent system for point spending aswell.
Don't hate the game, hate Edju?:D

yeah no doubt u & adam & lots of teams have done well in the draft

but i still think 4 most teams the draft is a black hole that sucks money into another universe

So Zyler what your saying is, you havent spent all your spare $$ this season and now you are not going to take the best pick of the draft in our league?

Why oh why didnt you say this earlier!?!?! haha.

Just FYI, in this league, there has never been a guy with less than MVP potential in any of the drafts ive participated in. So the last 4.. (5? i forget) drafts, have had at least an MVP player in it. Obviously i cannot comment on their skills.

i find that, in general, the more specific kind of player you are looking for in the draft, the worse off you're opinion will be of the draft.

So set your expectations a bit lower. Suddenly the draft is a bit of alright!

Usually 5ball has atleast 4k salary, but its close.

Yea I think its really really lame that a guy with 5 balls can have anyhwere from (if this case is true) 40 TSP to 70 TSP .


could be also the impact of the new salarys, at least my pay checks was shrinking again.
