FHM9 - Expansion Draft

Expansion Draft
Custom League

Just had my online league's first expansion draft. Three teams picking in the draft.

Became extremely hard after a while, since the game does not delete players that becomes unavailable to pick because of the max players lost rule.

All players were on the list of available players, even if they shouldn't be available due to the settings. In order to finish the draft, I had to manually create a list of available players after going through the entire list and sort out the players belonging to a team that already had lost the max number of players.

This needs to be fixed.

Also. When a player were picked, the bottom part of the Expansion Draft view didn't show the players old team, even if there is a column for that.

There should be a way to search for available players based on which team they belong to. I thought I could use the "Rights" filter, but during the Expansion Draft all players had their rights set to "Free". So that didn't work either.

So far, my custom mode online league have uncovered huge flaws with:
* The first Draft Class that is to small to cover all draft rounds if you expand the league after the first season.
* The first Draft Class where it's impossible to add players to it manually.
* Draft Class number 2-4 which is insanely over powered, with 5 star potential players being over looked because there are too many of them. (I had to manually edit 1600 players to balance these draft classes)
* No Draft Lottery.
* No age cutoff day for Draft Classes.
* The Expansion Draft that don't delete players that becomes unavailable.
* The insane amount of back to backs in the schedule that will result in a huge amount of injuries.
* 17 year olds being available to sign as unrestricted free agents even if the minimum draft age is set to 19.

What will we discover when we have our first ever Entry Draft next week?
