In last seasons Draft I got my # 1 and # 2 Pick. So I was very happy until I found that the A+ #1 pick was 19 years old. As he was center and I train forwards I sold him but It was not very much I got for him. If he had been 18 years old it would have been a lot more.

So I think age of the draftees makes the draft very random and not worthwile to spend a lot of money on as it is a gamble if your draftee has the right age.

I agree that it can be a gamble atleast with the current setup. I finished first last season and this season I will finish 1st as well wich means last pick so I didnt even bother to invest in the draft...

Wouldn't that be why you SHOULD invest in the scouting? To get a better picture on who's good enough for your team. If you don't scout anyone you will have even less chance to put any good ones in. I finished first last season and picke two players that was good enough for the first team. One is now mentioned as one of four possible national players after next election.

Sometimes I think, sometimes I don't

Not really because I invested the maximum amount for an entire season, and my pics weren't that good. With the money I could've saved I would have gotten atleast one real good youngster to train. I mean if you're focussing on NT players etc. then by all means stick to the Draft system... As a numberone team it's simply not the best option in general... Let's see how the new changes will be

@ Kingofnewyork I also noticed that you had a few bots in your league as well, that's one reason you probaly got real good draft picks eventhough you won your league ;-) In my league there's not one BOT plus the other managers spend alot for scouting so I'm guaranteed last and worst picks regardless how much cash I stuff in scouting..

I think the highest skill level a draftee can have is respectable. The highest salary I've seen is around $6k/week. Usually, the A's and B's are players with salaries in the $3k-$4k/week range.
