For the ease of explaining i will be referring to managers pre-picks as captains and not mention managers at all. Everything predicted bellow is based on the draft packet ratings.

So, for the upcoming season we have 8 captains from which 3 of them are Defense (unvrs, kutrebar, ethce) and 5 of them are Offense (Nube, mp, Berlin Ball, SIGSEGV, Sam-). We can normally assume that these captains will go for the opposite position top players as their 1st picks (to balance the team out) in the draft, so we will have five D 1st picks and three O 1st picks. According to the draft packet that would look like this

After the captains draft their 1st picks, next on the menu would be drafting their 2nd O and 2nd D picks. Again, according to the draft packet ratings, those players would be

We can assume that these above mentioned players would go in the rounds 2 and 3 of the draft. And finally, for the dessert, we have the 4th pick, or as we like to say the 5th man pick.

Those are the first 32 players from the draft packet and ideally (well, according to the people who rated them) every captain should pick one player from every category - the 1st picks, 2nd D picks, 2nd O picks, 4th pick. It won't go like that, of course, but it's a rough estimate as to how teams will be formed. It all depends on how captains/managers will behave. One thing might be sure - if any of the captains were to deviate from the first picks predicted here then whichever other captain takes the remaining player form the 1st picks as their 2nd pick, that team would instantly be considered OP (probably).

Now, you can also expect that the next ~10 players in the draft packet can easily go to the auction instead of some players mentioned above and some of them definitely will.

Why did i do this? Well, this is how i do my draft strategy; skill predictions based on popular opinions and estimated cost range of players. If you put things in a perspective like this you can make a picture of who do you rate highly and might be a bit less expensive than you thought. Making a shortlist of players from every category with how much eurolls you would spend on him/her and crossing them over as they go by, making the auction draft go faster and smoother.

Also, i want to add that i might made this for mind games to get some players more cheaply ;)
