If I'm not mistaken, Utopian players have their nationality randomized, so your luck may vary between seasons... And about players getting drafted excluding Utopia, it's completely normal to micronations have worst luck. Why?
Well, every micronation in each continent compete between them in the same Draft, so if for example, there is a Draft with 4 5-star potential players, a specific country can get 3 or 4 and also deny other countries to get them. That's a bummer.
