Wendell Smallwood vs PackersDion Lewis vs Jets . 5 PPR . <| sep |> A draft is absolutely impossible . It works with American sports because there ' s a smallish , welldefined pool of athletes , which is also pretty much the ONLY source of new talent . What would happen if some premier league team makes a huge bid on a star player outside the league ? Say one of the big 6 bids 250 m on Neymar yes , I know this is unrealistic and all parties agree . Does Neymar go into a draft ? Could Bournemouth then use their superior position in the draft to snipe him ? Are they then on the hook for the 250 m ? If so nothing changes , because smaller teams still couldn ' t afford to snipe top players so they gain nothing . And then there ' s the fact that teams just import so many more players . All the 15 year old wonder kids from all over the world would need to be put into the draft . Every U 12 , U 15 , U 18 , reserve etc transfer would have to be included . The draft alone would add an extra month to the end of every transfer window .
