We should have a lot of random distribution between us, anyone gotten lucky and drafted 1 (or god forbid 2 or 3 later round surprises!) of those powerhouses?

I think this is a good question, I am happy to contribute. This is a league I simmed but did not influence. New Standard Game at creation.
The year is 2040. With 100% accuracy there are 21 80 rated players. 8 of them are in their 20s - 23, 25, 26, 26, 26, 26, 27, 28. Unless I missed something all are game created (fictional) other than Salas, definitely no one from 2024 - 2026 draft classes.

There are 16 players who are 75s. These are the non-1st rounders or $4.0m+ IAFA
2.1
IAFA $900k (reliever) - created as 60 potential
FA From S. Korea 7yr/$220m
8.5 - created as 50 potential. He’s a defensive catcher (also wrecked at age 31) with 1 AS appearance and a .202 career avg with 16.9 career WAR. Just became a 75 this year.
IAFA $3.044m
2.2
So in this one snapshot, out of the top 37 players (according to 100% scouting anyway), one was a relatively affordable IAFA reliever and another was a mid-round pick who seems…underwhelming?
