While this may be a "fair draft" when it comes to national teams, it would not be fair when looking at a club level if I understand this correctly. If every nation is getting the same amount of rookies with 10 or 11 potential then those nations with a small amount of users are almost guaranteed to draft a 10 or 11 player in every draft, giving them a massive advantage on their club team.

I think having more users should be an advantage for a national team (I know that is easy to say as a USA user), but if you have more users you should have more good players to pick from and this encourages individual nations to grow their BB community (though I recognize that is much easier for some countries than others). However, I don't see why we should try and give 50 users the equal shot at a gold as 1200 users.

The two largest nations, Italy and Spain, receive only 2 19-year-old legends. It smells like justice))

From BB-Justin:

"The data is very interesting.

Your numbers don't include the players drafted by bots.

For example, here's the number of ATG players generated in D.I, D.II, and D.III:
(all countries with at least 2)
Nederland 5
Australia 5
Belgium 3
Portugal 3
Slovenija 3
Bosna i Hercegovina 3
Cyprus 3
Singapore 3
Ukraina 2
Iran 2
Sverige 2
Pilipinas 2
Malaysia 2
Hellas 2
USA 2
Lietuva 2
Hrvatska 2
Latvija 2
Makedonija 2
Sakartvelo 2

Here is the D.IV ATG draftees (countries with at least 2):
USA 8
China 7
Uruguay 7
Brasil 7
Australia 7
Belgium 7
Suomi 5
Slovenija 5
Israel 4
Latvija 4
Deutschland 4
Magyarország 4
Argentina 4
Taiwan 4
Türkiye 4
Hellas 4
Polska 4
Canada 3
France 3
England 3
Portugal 3
Bosna i Hercegovina 3
Česká Rep. 2
Eesti 2
Lietuva 2
Hrvatska 2
Pilipinas 2

Here's the combined total D. I - D.IV:
(top 10 counties)
Australia 12
Belgium 10
USA 10
China 8
Slovenija 8
Uruguay 7
Brasil 7
Hellas 6
Bosna i Hercegovina 6
Portugal 6

I won't include any D.V data since there are all bots, but France had a whopping 25 ATGs in D.V."

The USA had a luckiest draft we have ever had but looking at the overall data, Belgium and Australia had just as many ATG draftees in D.I - D.IV, they just couldn't retain as many of them because the USA has many more managers so not as many went to bots.

suggestion 1: I'm fine with current % of having high potential, but it depends on BB-staff if there is some reason for descrease or increase it
suggestion 2: I don't like your idea. Even if there is a lot of managers like me who continue playing BB just because of National Teams you shouldn't lose balance in club features because of NTs. Even now if you play in league with a lot of bots your chance to draft high potential player from low draft position (10+ or even 16) is much higher than in league wihout bots even with higher draft position.
