@Indnyc How about an all-time (no players born on the 1st Jan 1988 or after, with the full game requirement for players born on or before 31st Dec 1939) Euro No Mates draft? Would that be too GOATY? Anyone is available who had their first international cap with a UEFA affiliated nation. If uncapped (unlikely) then place of birth within a European country within the continent of Europe (no overseas the dependencies).

Edit - you could also prevent the first two players drafted by each side from being used as a reinforcement.
Yeah sounds good to me.. Combined with first 2 picks blocked for reinforcements, I think it should work perfectly

A never-nude? I thought he just liked cut-offs.
I think we should have a Man United players only draft sometime.

Could either be

1. 8 teams only (managers can team up I guess) (8*12=96 players)
2. 16 teams, 6 vs 6 games (6*16=96 players)
I think there was a Utd players only draft years back. I'd be up for repeating it with 8 players but we need to bear in mind that the matches will be dogshit.

anyone playing PL fantasy? We could do a draft there if there is any interest....
its a fantasy game on their site but they added draft option, so yes its just the current league as you win points based on player "performances" :D
if you mean doing a draft for current players and then setting up inside the fantasy league so no one has duplicate players then I am in.
The fact everyone can be starting Harry Kane is what usually turns me off to those fantasy set up (unless its a one-day betting thing not full season).
If anyone is interested, there is room for 4 more

https://draft.premierleague.com

Draft to start Thursday, 5 or 6PM UK time

Already in (from last season): BKTWR, Indnyc, GS, onenil, P-Nut (defending champion), Sjor

Will provide league code in PM

I'd like to participate in an Italian players only draft. Probably the only country that can give you enough players in all positions. There is so much underused talent there that don't appear in drafts. Also a break from the GOAT fests we have been having. Should be all time with pre war players as well.

The Italian Job Draft !

Looks interesting.

Born in Italy? Played for Italy?*

*Or haven't played for any other country, since there are a few non-capped options.

Sivori was the first that came to find, I'm sure there are a few other questionable choices.

I like this, but needs a block list.

Baresi
Maldini
Gullit
Van Basten
Platini
Scirea
Facchetti
R9
Diego

To name a few....needs some others to be blocked too.

Aye. Think more people will sign up once the thread goes up. Maybe you can start a thread once we reach the semis stage of the current draft.

Categories of players

1. Attackers
2. Midfielders
3. Defenders
4. Goalkeepers

The draft masters will put 5 players in each category. The best five in their opinion and give them numbers 1 to 5. (Hidden)

The drafters in their turn will pick a number and get the player with that number.

For example.

Defenders:
1. Figueroa
2. Maldini
3. Beckenbauer
4. Baresi
5. Scirea

First drafter let's say picks defender number 2. He gets Maldini.

The draft masters will add a new defender in the list and randomly change numbers again for next person

Drafter's can choose any category at any turn.

What you will end up with is some really unbalanced sides with some bad fits. And ofcourse some great fits too. All based on your luck.

Your job is to make best use of them and create the best team you can.

Draft will be more down to the tactical acumen of the manager instead of drafting skills. And of course luck.

Should lead to some great and funny discussions.

Would need at least 2-3 draft masters to keep rolling.
