Question to all:

What is your opinion on the draft?

Personally I'm not investing in the draft. I've found it to be a waste of finances and instead I've had a lot more control in my training results and overall TSP seeking high potential early 20's talent, rather than drafting and building that player up.

I say this because if I look at it from purely a financial standpoint, I made money this year through the draft. In the past I've invested the full amount only to fire/sell low on draftees and significantly lose money. It's very rare that I've been able to "hit the lottery," and cashout. It's been much more likely that I've been able to acquire low, train and then sell high.

I realize this question also depends on draft position, however, even if I believed I was going to have a top draft position I'd still take a different route (sell my marquee players, sit on the cash and rebuild through the transfer lower post-demotion).

What do you think league?

this year's draft is bad... I spent a decent amount of money on scouting but couldn't find a good player. You are lucky!

Personally I've found the draft to be strictly base on depth of your team. If you can compete (win enough games to make money) and also truly focus on adequately (nothing special) developing a 18/19 year old for 1-2 seasons you'd be surprised how quick an average draft pick with good potential can command 200k+ once you go to sell him. Then you've done both made money having a winning season and then added some revenue to maybe bid on that last needed player, or get out from under a financial pinch if your roster salaries are really draining your weekly income.

I guess my approach has been if I'm top 2-3 in the league for sure then spend $0 it makes no sense, but even if I'm 4th and for sure anything below then yes i spend not to draft a guy that will "help" my team but to draft a guy i can train just enough to get a quick revenue spike when selling him.

every manager is different for sure.
