I liked yours better.True, not a bad shout. I guess, I wanted it to be more unpredictable.. trying to guess which combination of XI players your opposing manager will put out for the first game.. is he going to put out all his best defenders, or spread it out etc. Whereas in your example, it becomes more predictable and more about the quality of your subs.. which is still a good way of testing drafting skills..
Yeah I agree. The beauty of a 2 team squad would be the attempts at fecking each other over with crafty selection or tactics and driving yourself mad trying to second guess what your opponent is going to do.Nah, you are destroying the main attraction of it which is making calls on which team to play your stars in. E.g. you can get Zidane and Ronaldinho and play them in different teams. With your suggestion the superstars will play both games. Boring.
I don't think he got picked in the original one tbh, so we knew it all along!
I'd obviously support that. I'd also add the no mates rule too unsurprisingly. I think the current draft has an excellent range of players. Also since we don't have the major team merry-go-round it won't be as difficult to draft and would again avoid proven partnershipsMaybe a 46-66 draft? Will have a totally new set of players.
Do we need a draft for that? TBH, there's so much stuff that has been written/researched for these drafts, we may as well create a thread (e.g. Bernd Schuster) and just chuck all the info, clips, gifs, and then people just throw in whatever teamsheets they come up with on how to best utilise him given X, Y and Z rules (e.g. no proven partners is a good one).Another suggestion is a Specific Player Draft. All teams build around the same player(s) and matches will be on who has the better build. The only restriction is that none of the other players could have played with the Specified Player professionally.
We can take versatile/troublesome players like Pirlo or Schuster or Scholes and/or classic legends that we want to know better like Duncan Edwards or Di Stefano...
It'll probably be same stars in all replies. In a snake, it;s be much more difficult to build around.Do we need a draft for that?

Yeah, maybe, still pointless to have games really. Good basis for a ranking based winner, but is it worth spending weeks drafting?It'll probably be same stars in all replies. In a snake, it;s be much more difficult to build around.
I like this draft, but I'd prefer the next one without the no mates rule. Just simple straight snake draft.I'd obviously support that. I'd also add the no mates rule too unsurprisingly.

Agreed.I like this draft, but I'd prefer the next one without the no mates rule. Just simple straight snake draft.
That is potentially pretty interesting as there's a few players who I think would work well in non-standard positions although with versatile players like Luis Enrique the only positions he really didn't play would be CF or CB- so even if he's not box-to-box you could end up with inane arguments about whether he is in fact playing out of position.Maybe we can have an experimental draft, i.e experiment with playing players out of position.
It'll be an all time draft, but you cannot play the players at the Top 2 primary position. For example, Messi can't be played as CF or RW (but can be played LW), Pele can't be played as CF or AM and so on.
The theme will be to argue the suitability of players to a new position.
Younger drafters would be screwedSiblingdraft/generationdraft: state your birthyear, pick players +/- 2 years your age.
True. How about a captains draft? Only players who ever wore the armband.Younger drafters would be screwed
Hard to check with those in the earlier days.True. How about a captains draft? Only players who ever wore the armband.
Nice concept. If you were born in 1962, you'd really hit the jackpot:Siblingdraft/generationdraft: state your birthyear, pick players +/- 2 years your age.
I'm inNice concept. If you were born in 1962, you'd really hit the jackpot:

Agree with this McLovin. That would be time for @Stobzilla to make a comeback.Btw, I would like for us to have an Eastern European draft at some point. I can host it
So long as you don't include any other players born between 1982 and 1990 I'm loving this idea.Siblingdraft/generationdraft: state your birthyear, pick players +/- 2 years your age.
yep, would be down for this too.. such a great and underappreciated region of football.Agree with this McLovin. That would be time for @Stobzilla to make a comeback.
Yeah, I'm all for it. I can participate or help you out hosting it if needed.Btw, I would like for us to have an Eastern European draft at some point. I can host it
Should be done, and should be prioritized too, we've banged on about it for ages now.Btw, I would like for us to have an Eastern European draft at some point. I can host it
Sounds great. So many players from that part of the world that I'd like to know more about, and doubtless many that I've never even heard of. There's one guy that I picked previously (his only draft appearance I think) that looked incredible that I'd like to revisit.Btw, I would like for us to have an Eastern European draft at some point.

Didn't you have one while I was away? Or was that just a sheep draft round I'm thinking about?Btw, I would like for us to have an Eastern European draft at some point. I can host it
It was one of the monopoly rounds as well.Didn't you have one while I was away? Or was that just a sheep draft round I'm thinking about?
The Greek Russian? Who was that? Total numpty.Sounds great. So many players from that part of the world that I'd like to know more about, and doubtless many that I've never even heard of.

Yeah, sure, I remember that. One of the few boxes that had tonnes of depth even late in the game.It was one of the monopoly rounds as well.
Nope, discussed it but never had it. We wanted to have 2 big geographical drafts, SA and EE, and only had the former.Didn't you have one while I was away? Or was that just a sheep draft round I'm thinking about?
