Is it possible to let the lower league have a limited potential guy in the draft, let's say, you will only have a better and more chance got MVP or HOF potential guys when you are in league I , II or III. on or below IV , you may have around 2% chance to get those guys, may be 1 or 0 in all 48 draft pick,( last season, my league have 3 or 4 those guys, and I have 2 of them). Is it a encouragement to push them to higher league?

ps: you have 21 leagues in Div I,II and III but you have 64 leagues in Div IV....

Draft isn't the biggest encouragement to tank, it's the money. In the meantime, good draftees are important the small clubs to have a chance to reach the biggest leagues one day.


but the good draftee land in the clubs who just left the "bigger" league. And don't end up in genious fourth league drafts.

Imho when it should help the small club, the pick betwen the relegated and the promoted team should be exchanged.

PS: Also when it isn't a incentive, since to meaning less it won't help then.

please tell me again, that promoting back made you a weak team, and you need backups to promote back cause else you would loose a game ;)

Normally teams relegating are quite good in the division below, and in my eyes it isn't bad when the leagues get mixed up and sooner or later i will relegate but i don't need a bonus for doing so.

You miss the point again. Teams that relegate, get a hammer to their finances. You have not experienced this, so why even argue? I was running a hefty minus with a roster I would have afforded before at that same level I relegated to. The draftee you get, will somewhat soften that fall if you plan on training him for your own team (merc) or selling. Even with decent scouting, you might still get crap.
You do understand that before a team even makes divI, he has to be a strong team already in divII, while not getting extra draft picks.
You are suggesting here that weaker teams, who relegate should get the economic hammer and should lose their draft pick. The pick should go to teams promoting and netting the promotion bonus? Letting the teams in the playoffs pick first in DivI? How is that fair?

but even non tankers have normally cheaper roster then other and can earn money while relegating so they have savings, and if you are like naturally in the top again you get lot more money inc ase of promotion too ;)

It is not that you relegate and then have to fight relegation again, since you are so economical biased, instead most of them are still fighting for the promotion back.(Even when that may cost a bit from human capital of a higher league roster)

I kept building my team in divI. I did not want to relegate. When you build a team yuo have little money left over. I was broke when promoting up again with 22-0 record. If it had taken a week longer, I would have lost my team to TL.
It's pretty hard to discuss this matter with a manager, who has never experienced relegation. So relegating team should not be on par with league leaders, considering draft picks.

but i can do the math of it ;)

Yes you get a hit in the economics, and reducing the quality is not always combined with a economical profit but still i don't want that relegation means instand promotions and your scary example with a 22-0 record which need clearly help is probadly also not a experience i would use here in your favour.

How can you do the math? Do GM's have more knowledge than others? You either need a multiaccount or access to other managers finances.
So just because I could do it, are you saying it's easy to get back up in a large country?
Are you saying that relegating teams need no revards, just penaltys? What are you trying to say? Want me to pull out facts on how many teams promote again after relegating from divI?
