Without having to go back and read the entire thread, since obviously the complaints will be the same for as long as the current draft system is in place, I'll just ask a simple question (which I ask every offseason):

Is there any hope whatsoever that the current unbelievably boring draft system will be in some way shape or form improved in the near future?

If I invest 40k for 9 weeks I pay 360 for 3 players or 120k per player. If I'm a good team then my draft position is low, so I realistically don't have a shot at the top 6-8 players (given that other teams' investment level is down). This means that I'm spending 120k per marginal player.


the question is should it be necessary to all to pay 40k?

I think the maximum option is for teams in inactive leagues, with a lot of bot and some not so active human competitors.

When you are the first picking team of maybe 5-6 players, the 40k investment don't see crazy for me because you had good chanches to get a good player in round too and even chanches to get one in round 3. Last season i checked the draft of the last german IV: leagues with human partizipation. I checked ~16 of them, and i got 3 teams with 2-3 draft who are worth over 500k.

Even if i don't know if i would invest that much in this sitution, because you get pretty good informations even with a 10k investment.

An Nyeong haseyo ! I hope I spell it right, been a while since I learned any Korean.

I agree with those who say the scouts are a waste. It's ok just to random select five players and tell me a little about them. Myself, I wait until the last few weeks of the season and then scout. It feels real ( no real value in the game it's my feeling) because draft talk starts in the later part of the season. I still waste money but not more than 100 K and I get some information rather than nothing at all.
Still, I'm winning this season and I've been told several times a winning team should not spend on scouting. If you're 2-20 maybe a scout is fun , but at 20 wins or more, you're not getting much in the draft.

i would most times this is right but you got 6 bots into your draft and in low leagues, there are sometimes not very active teams who forget the draft so that they also draft randomly.

+ 1-2 new guys with few informations

You could have luck, even for a decent 2cd round pick.
