In reality, most FCs only have a small group of truly active “core” members, in which often just a dozen or so.
At best, you’ll get a handful of bids from this core group.

Many of the other members either aren’t interested in housing, don’t participate in bidding, or simply lack the gills to contribute.
On top of that, if a core member already owns an FC plot on an alternate character, they are not eligible to place another bid.
When people lose a lottery, they often look at the winning FC’s roster and assume every member participated, but that’s just judging from the surface.
Large plots usually attract more than 100 bids, so this misconception that FC size equals bid power is really far off the mark.
I mean, not really? Granted, I am in a congested world, but I see up to 20+ people from one FC all go bid on a plot each bidding period, so it isn't exactly out of the question. It's not a misconception as it does happen pretty often enough
