Everyone already knows I don't agree with the principal of the dreamteam but I think it's you who's actually missed SCB's point.
Riding against CL riders doesn't really do them any good. Americans come into the PL on assed 8 point averages. Chris Kerr aside, who did drop a lot from his starting average, no sain Prem promoter is going to take on a Yank who they have only seen against CL riders as a heatleader. Thus making the whole process actually rather pointless as Americans cannot begin their career in the league, which in reality, most of them need to.
