I have always wondered if football was run like american sports with a draft what would happen. So see which players would be picked in the earlier rounds and which would be in the later rounds. For the sake of this game all players in football today are available to be picked. Lets have 8 different people involved (including me) and 14 rounds. Who else wants to be involved?? You should have a pretty good knowledge of football players worldwide and not just at United.
RULES:
Rules
* There are 8 members participating in this competition.
* The aim of the game is to select a team of 11 players along with 3 subs (one of whom has to be a GK) from all the current footballers playing.
* The participants will each take turns to select one player in ascending order (Participant 1 will select first, followed by Participant 2, then Partipant 3 etc.).
* Once the first round of the draft is complete (all 8 participants have chosen a player), the second round begins. It operates the same as the first draft, except this time in descending order (Participant 8 picks first, Participant 7 picks second, etc.). This is to ensure that those towards the end of the list get fair picks.
* Once you have posted your selection for any particular round of the draft, it is up to you to PM the person who is next in line to inform them that they are now allowed to make their choice. Remember the participants on either side of you, as these are the only 2 participants you will have to PM for the duration of the competition.
* You have 24 hours to post your selection. If you cannot make your post within 24 hours, the draft continues on as normal and it is up to you to post your selection at your earliest convenience.
* When selecting a player, it is important to remember that you are only picking them on their current form and age. Its important to consider yourseld as the owner/manager of a club and not pick players nearing the end of their careers only. A bit of youth wouldn't be remiss.
* When posting your selection, please post a picture of the player. You must also include an explanation of why you picked this player.
* You may pick any formation you choose, however a realistic formation is recommended as your team will be going up against another team from the competition and the rest of RedCafe will vote as to who they think would win in a match between the two.
* Once round 17 is complete, a new thread will be started where each participant gets on final chance to post their entire team, their tactics, why their team should win etc.
