Assume that means the order of preference would be 10-1 in the Championship, 10-1 in League 1, 10-1 in League 2, which at least means the best players on the list would at least expect to play for a Championship club.Surely if it was going to be draft style the worst team (bottom of league 2) gets first pick.
The numbers work out actually: each Premiership team lists 5 players, meaning each lower league team gets two guys on loan. Guess the issue would be whether some of the diddier teams can afford to lose 4 or 5 guys they see as good enough to play at Championship/League 1 level. If not you probably just end up with Celtic getting first team exposure for more of their players.
Five players would be a lot for diddy teams though, definitely. Should just make it so that teams can make players in their development squads available for the 'draft' (whether it be one or ten) and make it championship only. If a player doesn't get drafted then the club can send them where they like.
