Same
Next Draft - Ideas and Discussions
- Thread starter Edgar Allan Pillow
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
What about another criteria draft?
Just had a flick through some of the old drafts, The dominoes one could do with a re run, was a great laugh that one.
I just looked through that since you mentioned it. Looks like half the players are Tuppet.

I'd love to know what you were thinkingJohnny fecking Rep
Basically, the same parent premise - You start from one country and can pick from a bordering country with one free pass to switch continents, same max 2 country rule.
However, last time we picked players who were born in the country we landed in. But this time, we pick players based on their club careers in any professional league played in that country. Only their club performances while playing in the league of that nation would count. Can extend this to include NT performances of the player while he was a part of the league in the country being picked from, though that would be complicated during tournament.
e.g. I start at France and pick Neymar - so he will be judged on his performances for PSG and nothing to do with Santos or Barca. Then, I move to Spain and pick Luis Ronaldo - so only his performances for Madrid and Barca count and none of Inter etc.
Remember, we had the three league draft which had players based on league performances in three specific leagues. This would be a difficult version of that as everyone would have players representing 6 different leagues in the team.
say no more, im in.
Love the concept and am definitely in.. However, i feel judging performances on specific leagues is difficult as most voters don't pay as much attention to these details..
Definitely in for that one
I am interested in competing in that draft

Wouldn't you end up with the players constantly changing with 32 picks each round you'd eventually use all the boxes surely?
Board is bigger. You'd probably have 676 (26x26) boxes when all you need is 208 (16 teams x 13 players each) boxes. There will be overlaps and players moving around, but not all the time.
Ah decent sounds good then, line it up after the chaos draft
Just an idea that came to me so just gauging response before putting a proper thread together.
Would people be interested in a squad draft than ran over a good chunk of the season?
Basic premise is that all managers would pick a squad of 23 and then games would take place once a week in a league format to determine who has built the best squad over a full season.
Thinking 5 injuries a week at random to keep teams changing most weeks, and a degree of flexibility built into the squad building.
I'd want to run it basically in the background whilst other drafts are going on so would not be full in depth games like usual, but rather a committee with each person having a game or 2 to judge each week.
Should be something quite easy to run once we are past the drafting phase.

Sounds like a good idea.. Maybe we should do it with current players?
great idea, count me in
I think getting the squad of 23 would be difficult with modern players, and a bit too much like fantasy football. Although, I'm going to have to stay impartial so will run with whatever the majority want.
Sounds good, in.
I can help if needed
If the plan would be to do it with current players, would it be limited to PL or rather all leagues / big 5?
Love it and in and no, dont limit it to current players only.

Should do random injuries and suspensions to make it more interesting and bring a bit of unpredictability. This way it won't get boring with the same lineups every game. Perhaps make a bigger squad too.
Maybe also allow trades during a set transfer window, maybe at the start and halfway through the season.
In like Huckleberry Finn.
Yeah the injuries are going to be randomised between the full squad every game with 5 players randomly chosen to be unavailable. Don't want to get too deep into lengths of injuries and bans for now, but it can certainly be done in the future.
Cheers should be a fun one to run.
@P-Nut How would you go about picking players? Auction would give you the choice for more star players or a more rounded squad. It could though be chaos bidding for a 23 man squad. You could do snake picks using the Peaches and a Goat draft values and just modify the budget. It gives the ease of snake but with a budget constraint. We would though have to give a starting value to Marcelo unlike last time and anyone else who was drafted for peanuts that we missed last time
I've got a plan for it, but I'm open to ideas as it's the biggest problem. I'll copy and paste the bit I've wrote up so far as it'll probably need tweaking.

DRAFTING PROCESS
To speed up the drafting process all managers will PM picks in rounds.
First round 3 GKs to be selected. 1 Star goalkeeper.
Star players will take precedence over none star players e.g
Manager 1 pick - *A, B, C
Manager 2 pick - A, *B, C
Manager 3 pick - *D, C, E
Manager 1 will be successful in getting GK A.
Manager 2 will be successful in getting GK B.
Manager 3 will be successful in getting GK D & E.
At the end of the round, managers with unsuccessful picks will carry on until they have the same number of players as everyone else from that round.
All players picked by more than 1 manager, will be blocked, they can then be attempted at being recruited during the 1st transfer window.
