The top division 1 lads seem to horde the 89+ players to the point where the rest of us poor saps have to fight for scraps and the only way to pick some up is via drafts, so yeah it's our only source of picking them up tbf.
Had quite a few players 89+ on the market for a while now, nothing happens. There's just no attraction for me to sell nor for someone to buy it would seem. So it's not a case of hording, I'd just rather keep what I have (mostly inherited too may we add) than take on below average players or cash.
Also, since I've taken over City I've sold 3x 93, 2x 92 and a 91 rated player for players with lesser ratings.

Agree I've got a couple of 90+ up for PE, granted one of them is getting on but he's gonna stay 90+ for a couple of seasons yet. Haven't had any offers.
I don't have an issue with hording, it's part of the game. But at the same time, i've been both a decent team (Forest) and a weak team (Hereford) for a considerable amount of time now and I understand the issue from both sides of the coin. It's part of the reason why I forced FFP Caps on the game when I was at Forest and I certainly didn't have an issue with drafts. I think it's a vital tool for the Gameworld.
Oi. I have one of the fewest players in the league, and arguably I help redistribute players as Mansfield would attest to. One of the early people in the draft could do with taking a leaf out of their book recruitmentwise as it could set them up for years.
Every draft usually means one less manager which means less competition.... Less fun! All of you who desperately aim for a draft should focus on scouting and try to stay at one team a couple of seasons There are plenty of 87,88 players still available that can reach 89,90 in time , same as plenty available listed by other managers.
Darlington and Southend are model examples of what can be done when starting on a shoestring. Darlington's already been pretty successful in terms of trophies, and I'm sure it won't be long until Southend are too.

Damn right it's a cup knockout. My reserves are going to smash you up. I play Chelsea on Thursday so need to rest players for that. I'm not even going to change to a defensive formation, so confident am I in my Stags. It's going to be a massacre-get ready.

So crushing will be the defeat, you'll need Martins Licis to lift your morale. Your squad will be in so many pieces not even Deepika Ravichandran will be able to stick you back together in time for your next game.

Only did Div 1 and 2. Not 3rd rate teams.
