Onenil dropped out. You can take his place.Can I play?
Mainly for La Liga, but it contains some other season-by-season stats: http://www.bdfutbol.com/en/index.htmlWondering if anyone has any other sites that collect data and stats from the past. The sites I've learned from the drafts are

Does anyone have any other sites where you can find match or season data?
There was one in the past in the Newbie forum.Has there ever been a Man Utd draft?
Yups, it was 8 managers only though. I don't think anyone had even a remote interest in delving into such obscure players as a 16 manager draft would have required. In fact, with so many long-time servants you would probably need to pick players who were never starters to begin with leading to Buttner vs. Best scenarios.Has there ever been a Man Utd draft?
Yeah I'd be up for that. Or a specific Serie A decade.How come there's never been a pure Serie A draft?
Nice idea, why are countries not evenly spread out?I saw this pretty cool EU draft idea on another forum, could be fun drafting process with a few tweaks -
5 EU pools as per - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Union#Member_states
Pool A (Founders)
Belgium, France, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, and Germany
Pool B (1970s)
Denmark, Ireland, UK
Pool C (1980s)
Greece, Portugal, Spain
Pool D (1990s)
Austria, Finland, Sweden
Pool E (21st century)
Hungary, Cyprus, Czech Republic, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia, Bulgaria, Romania, Croatia
You'd pick 14 players in snake order. You must pick at least 2 players from each pool. However, here's the catch: Your pick orders have to be A-B-C-D-E. You may not skip pools, and you may not go back.
For example, your first 3 picks might be from pool A. Then you want to move on, your next set of picks have to be from pool B. etc. You may not pick anyone from pool A once you've made the move to pool B. etc.
This works out because coincidentally, most of the best talents are in pool A and E. So you may want to spend more time picking from pool A, but that would mean others who rush forward, will get the best talent from the next pool. It'll allow people to choose how long they want to spend in the earlier more powerful pools.
Oh missed this post somehow. Anyway the countries were basically in the order they entered in EU. Which has nothing to do with draft concept really, we can totally make groups more balanced or groups out of SA countries or may be even create groups out of top 20 clubs of all time (e.g. Real madrid, Milan, Barca, Utd etc) playing in a super league. Decade rule could be applied here, as well either the chain (players must have played with one other player in the team) or no mates rule (players must not have played with any other player in the team). It should eventually depend on the pool, bigger the pool, more constraint there are.Nice idea, why are countries not evenly spread out?
Also,dose the decade rule applicable for this one?
I really love the idea,getting the SA countries in one group should make pool even wider,with the said restriction rules this should be more fun to play.Oh missed this post somehow.

Impossible to isolate the pool for the second one for the oldies, plus there were different tournament systems in some countries over the years. You can use only modern players but they'll be mostly obscureWhat about players who played for a club currently in the championship. Or players who never won a leaguetrophy.
All teams must use WM or a 2-3-5
Alright, what if you restrict the first one to players who made a PL appearance (for any club), but at some point played for any team in the current english championship or lower.Impossible to isolate the pool for the second one for the oldies, plus there were different tournament systems in some countries over the years.

If you're creating a single pool like that, you probably want some sort of theme going on to colour the draft. If it's simply an odd restriction, it probably works better as part of a wider sheep or lottery style draft where there are loads of challenging criteria on the go.Alright, what if you restrict the first one to players who made a PL appearance (for any club), but at some point played for any team in the current english championship or lower.
After right-back gate, I see why you were putting this one forward.And I think the possibility to pick 13 players should be a standard practice
That is a brilliant idea to be fair.Maybe an all time no restriction, no block draft. Just pure and simple team building.
Maybe add in a twist. All teams must use WM or a 2-3-5 (the formation will be announced prior to match) so flexibility in team building to be important.
What about you in the Reality or Criteria Draft? or was that 3 at the back..You guys are fixated with 2-3-5. Has anyone ever won a draft playing one? And I mean a proper one, not a 5-3-2 masquerading as 2-3-5.
Nobody will unless everyone plays it. So the old formations draft.You guys are fixated with 2-3-5. Has anyone ever won a draft playing one? And I mean a proper one, not a 5-3-2 masquerading as 2-3-5.
Yeah, that was 3-2-5 with a Sammer-Neeskens-Baggio spine moving up and down to make it 4-4-1-1 off the ball. Much harder to pull off than a faux 2-3-5. A proper 2-3-5 would be quite a challenge though.What about you in the Reality or Criteria Draft? or was that 3 at the back..
Loved that side. Batshit crazy and no one else could have sold it as well (well EAP can sell anything).. Viva's team was class.Yeah, that was 3-2-5 with a Sammer-Neeskens-Baggio spine moving up and down to make it 4-4-1-1 off the ball. Much harder to pull off than a faux 2-3-5.

The only batshit crazy thing was pulling off a Nedved-Baggio reinforcement combo being 6th in the order or so. Unreal, even when I planned for a wealth of creative reinforcements (went into the first game sporting Götze).Loved that side.

No, it's only before the 2nd game that I've realized that crnncooockvic wasn't a proper LBAfter right-back gate, I see why you were putting this one forward.
