I appreciate the offer, but I have one goal now and it's to get to D2 in the US. Not even sure it's possible in Utopia

I am 65 years old and would like to do this before I die. Not sure this would be the best path to do it

Maybe in a couple of seasons, I'll give it a shot. But I suspect it takes some forethought and more than a little luck

Coincidentally, I arrived at this by pursuing a homegrown team

Once again your excellent reply requires a good, thorough reply, but as HGL (Home-Grown League) preseason preparations are in progress, that needs to wait a bit longer (as they take lots of time).

Speaking of which, HGL is what GM-MrJ was referring to as "HG-only competition" in his previous post.
In the case you (or anyone else) would be interested for becoming HG team partly due to the aspect of 'being able to play in a free league reserved strictly for HG teams', direct links to such league can be found from here:
- HGL Season 6 main thread, here: (332267.1) and
- HGL Scores-thread, here: (332268.1)

Anyway, I'll get back to you bit later with a proper reply - thanks for your thorough message that once again had many good points in it that I agree and recognize from my experience!

My simple to-the-point 2 ¢:

If you’re drafting for the joy of a HG team, then it’s totally worth it, enjoy the fun.

If you’re drafting for a good training prospect (up to a MVP), it’s way easier and probably cheaper to find one in the flood of rookies on the TL in the first week or so.

If you’re drafting for a great / NT prospect, you’ll need to hit in the draft or have a boat load of cash for the TL. Good luck.

If you’re drafting to make money on the TL, don’t. It’s like playing the lottery: You may get lucky, but probably not.
