So with all that in mind, I would like to be included in your draft and treated fairly, with no malice or shenanigans
Good luck with that. All of us from the sheep draft probably hate you.

Hello @Edgar Allan Pillow I would be interested in participating in one of your well crafted, and fun sounding drafts. Any previous hard feelings between us was surely a product of @Balu and his schemes. I often would try and talk him out of his ploys against you, but he hit me with a stick and told me to go back to bed so he could post up the threads.

This is just a straightforward snake draft mate. No surprises. I've added you in. @rpitroda @Joga Bonito @BorisDeLeFora @Annahnomoss @Kazi
Ans the usual suspects, Chester, Gio, crappy, anto, Theon etc ...any of you in?
Messi and Ronaldo should definitely be blocked but a block per poster (which would definitely include them) would mix it up a bit more. It would probably avoid Xavi/Iniesta can't play in this system
Your first idea would work, and the easiest way to balance it out would be that you cannot pick a player that your first 3 picks ever played with. Makes it challenging, but it means actually creating teams you think would work, not just replicating a team in totallity.
Sorry buddy, still busy at work for another 2 months!
@rpitroda @Joga Bonito @BorisDeLeFora @Annahnomoss @Kazi
I like that idea
I won't be participating but thanks for the offer!

It looks like I have time. Not busy until mid-late March.
Sign me up mate, provisionally for now.

Wanna co-op?
That sounds interesting

I'm not sure yet what's the rules for this draft?
Will be giving this one a miss but will follow it keenly. Good luck running this draft, looking forward to it.
@rpitroda @Joga Bonito @BorisDeLeFora @Annahnomoss @Kazi
Oh and bring back the 'a vote by a fellow manager counts for 2' rule that you initially introduced please. Btw is anyone against this rule?
That and random injuries are a default in my drafts!
Check my post above. Standard snake. Modern players only. One random injury every round. Short, simple and sweet!
Seems there's not much interest. Maybe wait a bit....
And here I was getting all excited for it.
I'd love to be fully involved in EAP's "modern" draft, but sadly, I'm very busy at the moment. I might be able to get more involved in a draft that pops up in the summer, though, but for now, I'll be a keen observer of this draft if enough people become interested.
However, if someone wants me in a supporting role, I'd be happy to fill in, but I don't really have the time for write-ups and such.

Yeah I'll do it, always nice to have a distraction from actual work.
All part of the plan to get back at you

The Modern Current Players Draft:
Theme: 16 managers fight for title in a snake draft with injuries thrown in.
Player Pool:
P1 - All players born on or after 01-Jan-1980 are available for picking with the exception of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi (who are blocked for this draft) .
General Draft Rules:
G1 - All matches will be for 24 hrs
G2 - All draft picks will be on 8 hr intervals. More time can be granted on Boss's sole discretion (in case of quick picks).
G3 - No Assistant Managers. It wastes more time. But non-playing members can act as a 'scout' recommending players. Manager have the only say in teams. Scouts cannot vote for manager's games.
G4 - Playing managers vote count twice. Please honour the code and avoid tactical voting.
G5 - Once posted, the pick stands. No changing. Take care before you post.
G6 - Initial drafting will be for 13 players.
Injury Rules:
I1 - Every team will have 1 random player injured announced before the start of drafting for that round. For initial draft, the injured player will be randomized before start of Player 6 pick and will be randomized of already picked 5 players.
I2 - Players remain injured only for that round and available to play the next round.
Team (Playing 11) Rules:
T1 - Teams must have at least 1 youth player (born on or after 01-Jan-1990).
T2 - Maximum of 2 players from same country (by birth).
Reinforcement Rules:
R1 - Team limit is fixed at 13 players.
R2 - Maximum of 2 reinforcements per round.
R3 - Reinforcement will be on pick one, drop one basis. You may choose to 'pass' on reinforcement round. Dropped players will be available for picking by managers down the order.

Great stuff..
So, for example, Paul McGrath would be considered English?
He is not eligible. But yes, he will be counter under England for the purpose of this draft.
Presumably we'll be judging the players at their peak? @Edgar Allan Pillow

@Edgar Allan Pillow I'm not a fan of the injury rule. You pick.. say Robben. Build the side around him, and then your fecked if he is injured while the opposition might get an easily replaced fullback injured. Its randomness for the sake of it.
As always!
I thought it worked really well in Reality Draft. Thought that was one of the highlights of it!
Forces the managers to change tactics rather than just player upgrades. But, if majority of managers are against it, I can remove it.
I don't really care either way, happy to experience different ideas.
No. I don't care enough to remove it. The drafting is the fun part, not the matches.
You could do the randomising for the injured player after 10 picks and allow every manager to protect 1 or 2 of his players from getting injured. That way, the luck factor would be a bit smaller and everyone still has 3 picks to find a replacement for the first round.
I'm not a manager, but I think that it is a great idea. It's always drafting first and games second, games can became predictable and boring - but with these random events you will liven up the draft a bit.
I don't feel strongly about it, but I'd prefer it wasn't included. This is a good, basic snake draft. I dont really see the point in complicating it.
Incidentally, I have zero ideas about how to construct my team. Just going to wing it and hope for the best!
Good idea. I can get managers to safelist 2 players from injury! That should address @NM concerns and yet retain some measure of change.
