They pick the players they want, or whats best available to them.
I can only speak for the NFL in regards to American sports but the draft system works well for it. Would not work in the UK and Europe though due to each team having a youth system.
But, the NFL is much fairer than the premier league and very socialist compared to the Premier League.
Don't follow American sports at all but I'm guessing it works because they don't realistically have another league to play in if they don't like it. If the best youth player got drafted to bolton or sunderland they'd just laugh and go play in Spain or Italy.

It’s the best way to get rid of any TOP 2/3/4/5/6 voodoo curse...but Europe will never adopt it...

Buy all the Brazillians.
All of them.
On a more serious note, even though it's slim pickings, thanks for the daily updates, it's the kind of performance that sometimes seems to be severely lacking in our first team.

Weird the Malcom bit, we were strongly linked in the summer but I thought Brands had said Lolzano is too much of a risk as no prem experience so a bid of 20 mil would be max yet we could bid 35 for malcolm?!
Also, badly Everton that we show interest (if true) in an exciting player and a bloody chinese team blows our bid out of the water.
The thing with American sports, is they grew in isolation from the rest of the world. Their major leagues (football, baseball, hockey and basketball) only have around 30 teams in them - that's not even an average of 1 team per state. We have our pyramid system in football because every neighbourhood wanted a team and the sport grew out of that - and its part of why its the world's sport. They're both just different worlds that were established before the globalisation of sports and people in both sides think their way is best. The Americans think their system means anyone can win, but with no relegation its built on a platform of nobody really loses. We think with relegation and complete freedom and no draft that our system provides the chance of being able to move from the very bottom of the pyramid to the top. It's just different and you either accept how it is or just ignore how the other side does things. I personally can't get into American sports (and my work has meant I've spent a lot of time in America), but I don't think it's the draft system or anything like that that bothers me. I just think it's all a bit boring, although I've never really given hockey a go.
What’s that got to do with anything.
So why isn’t DCL afforded the same leeway?
Out of all the transfer windows I’ve endured on GOT I feel this could be the worst due to the sheer number of wham posters currently on the forum.

There are loads of examples either way.
Footballers are all different and will improve at different times and to different degrees.
So so many multi's as well, it's tremendous. We've got Butters, Damo, Adversus and plenty of others all floating about under new guises.
New year, new GOT?
They are the best of us
I must say it’s only been a few days but the links we’ve seen are underwhelming. However the Summer proved Brands keeps things on the hush so I’m not particularly worried.
