And it's definitely not comparing apples and apples because in the NA system, a promotion/relegation system would never be implemented, so a minor league team will pretty much always be a minor league team.
And it's impossible to have a draft system even within the EU, let alone all of Europe with so many leagues. No league would accept a free draft (or that the worst placed nations/leagues/teams in UEFA coefficients would be able to draft first). Imagine Messi being forced to sign a 5-year entry level contract for a bottom team in Andorra/San Marino league as a 16-18 -year old.
It's totally different in the NA were everything is geared towards one league.
