I think it would be good if the smaller nations could get a guarantee that at least 1 ATG will be released per draft. Here you would have to define when you are a small nation (number of users? ranking list?).

Absurd.

Recap:
- Bot draft players removed from the count.
- 19-year-old drafted players removed from the count.
- Certainty to bring out an 18-year-old ATG per season (I dare not even imagine that it is asked for every single league draft) in small nations.

But do you realize what disparity of CLUB you would create?

In more than 40 draft seasons (often investing) I have seen 1 HOF (19 year old), and some MVPs.
Here we are talking about giving nations that have 20 active users (the smallest nations not agglomerated in "nations of ..") 1 certain ATG per draft, therefore potentially 1 ATG every 20 seasons to each user! We joke?
And how many HOFs? How many MVPs?
Then all 18 year olds, because otherwise they are not worth!

Repeat: But do you realize what a difference in CLUB you would create?

For that I say that if you have to think of a modification to the draft (and for me it should be done because it doesn't give any merit to those who invest or use the tools) you have to think in terms of CLUB; because the basic competition of the game belongs to clubs, not national teams.

With better effort in the draft, you could've had all these players to help Bosnian NT in the future but these managers, who had the opportunity, didn't choose to try to get them in the draft. Maybe before changing the draft system it would be good to review the drafting in Bosnia and try to actually get these players before the bots can. Even if you don't get all of them, I'm sure there could be some improvements made to get at least one or two of the possible hall of famers to human managers.

Excellent analysis, a community must try to do everything possible to grab all the best choices in the various drafts.

For some seasons I managed the U21 national team of Barbados and at the end of the season I begged investments on the draft to the various users with the risk of being reported for spam.

Of course, I had to do a 5/6 users, some of whom trained the players in the national team and with whom I had "relationships" for training. Nations of 100 users will surely have to have an apparatus behind it that can help in this context.

One proposal I made at the time was to make "free agent" players with high potential who ended up in bot teams. But even that unbalances the market and should be reasoned in depth.

I have to agree with you there. I didn't think it was too much of a good thing that small nations get the guarantee to get an ATG every season. That wouldn't make sense anymore.

And in conclusion:
Yes, bot players must be removed from the count because they're useless. The 19-year-olds hardly have a chance for the NT, because they simply missed a year (though I know there are some good examples, but this is rather an exception)

And finally:
We are talking about the competitiveness of nations and here, incentives should be created elsewhere. Nations with many users and larger draft pools simply have a huge advantage and it would be good to somehow reduce this difference.
