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.
