I had been part of a draft for 4 seasons.
I got three Perenial Allstar, and one MVP playerI invested 10K per week each season, and selling the first one (and probably the one that I'll gain less from all) basically covered that up.

I guess that the NBA teams are fools to invest on scouts, and users here who do that are just as much, and it is a total supprise that they do that and making money out of it.

Not investing a dime means that you will always get more than what you had invested, and once in a while you have chance to hit the jackpot.

The old users cannot say that they are not gaining more assets per season, as the tycoons cannot say that they are not gaining assets when they buying another company and paying salaries to those employees.

Seems you have been in some pretty inactive leagues then. I have not much to show for my drafts. i have gotten 3 p.allstars i think and nothing above that. The best on is still in my team and will probably be for as long as i play this game.
I seldom have gotten money back from the draft though. It gets brutally harder to grab a good player the higher up you get. I guess you'll notice that your self soon enough.
I got those four players on two drafts, on one of them I've finished first (DIV-IV).
The other two on last season where I've chossen 15 out of 16 teams... do the math.

Yeah and i still stand firm that you'll notice ones you go higher that those players are a rarity for most teams. The lower ranked teams in a higher league may get a good player out of the draft. Getting one with a late pick is pretty much impossible.
Season 18 had eleven players with P.-allstar or other.
Those who invest on draft, and those who uses it smartly will improve their chances to get the good ones.
If some of the teams below me will think that it is a waste of time to invest on scouting it will assist me. So continue and try to persuade that draft is a waste of money.
I will keep making money out of it.

And some drafts has nothing but 3-4 p.allstars. When your a lot of managers fighting for them getting one may be hard. Even finding one to for that sake.
Draft-16 I was part of - 10 players with P.-Allstar or above.
Draft-17 I was part of - 9 players with P.-Allstar or above.
Draft-18 I was part of - 11 players with P.-Allstar or above.
Draft-19 I was part of - just 6 players with P.-Allstar or above.

When some users are not even trying to get them, the chances are higher.

There is one more thing that gives more chances for one team over the others, even when they are a succeeding team, but I would not write it down of course. No reason to open my cards... [of course I mean something legitimate and part of the game].

In addition - allstar players (and even those with less potential) has value as well. I've sold an allstar with basically not much training for more than 100K$.

The bottom line - one who does not invest on the draft can still just get profit from it.
The one who will invest... will make even more (if doing it wisely).

I'd suggest that mismanagement of nations with fewer users than 100, and the reticence in improving basic mechanics for new user entry have a far greater impact than any problem regarding "ebay players".
This game loses more new members than it retains, merely because of the situation many new users get thrown into.
