One thing is that you should get best possible draft pick:
1. Loose games against "Big teams", so that they will get better win-loss ratio
2. Win adequate number of games against "Great teams" so that you are in the end at 4. positiion
(money wise, win away games to get more money from home games)
From drafting perspective, use both group scouting options, then concentrate on 18years old with at least 4 talent balls.
