Thanks for posting... that was an interesting one... I've fixed it... but it was interesting.
 
The fix does change the draft process a little bit though.
 
The draft will now only draft players that are draft eligible. Maximum-Football considers any player that has never played in a league game to be draft eligible. If they've played at least one game and are not on a team roster, they're considered free agents and are not available to be drafted.
 
What this also means is that when players are generated at the beginning of a season and go un drafted, they're still available to be drafted in future seasons (until they get too old and retire). It would be extremely rare that a player not drafted right away would be drafted more than a season or two seasons further in the future. The reason being he obviously doesn't have the skills required to be pickedup.
 
Thanks
David
