I meant an all time draft with a less restrictive pool of players.united draft now, pool should be next
it was a joke...I meant an all time draft with a less restrictive pool of players.
We haven't had anything like that as far as I know. Interesting idea.I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable on football as most of you but I've enjoyed reading some of the threads.
Has there ever been one where say its Man United with a formation of your choice and none of the players can have appeared in the same team as the 3-4 players closest to them on the pitch.

A gk in a 442 can't have appeared with the back 4. The right back could have appeared with left centre back and left back but not right centre back, goalkeeper and/or dm, right cm, rm/rw etc..
We have had a 442 draft before and I think one where you had to play a specific formation. We have also had ones where none of the players on the same side can have played with each other before.I'm nowhere near as knowledgeable on football as most of you but I've enjoyed reading some of the threads.

was hoping to go with my monopoly draft nextAnother simple draft which could be fun and have more lesser used players could be the Brazilian Draft. Only Brazilian players are eligible. The depth is huge there and we'd get players who don't appear that often too.
We can do monopoly first. Just chucking another idea out.was hoping to go with my monopoly draft next
Considering this post from NM, shall we try it out that only votes that count are from those that explained it? Its only us in Draft section that vote in games so everyone should be familiar with that rule and considering the number of votes it shouldnt be difficult to keep an eye on....im willing to try it on in the Monopoly Draft.I've given up in these drafts.. I don't understand how people vote. I enjoy the drsftimg and prepare to lose.. I think my midfield dominates this and we overwhelm the other team.. but let's see what others think!
We have done that before. It's a good idea. Don't remember why it wasn't continued.Considering this post from NM, shall we try it out that only votes that count are from those that explained it?

It's one of the reasons I've stopped playing as much. The drafting is great fun, but the matches are annoying when it's a close game and you lose to votes from people who haven't commented at all as to their opinions on the game.Considering this post from NM, shall we try it out that only votes that count are from those that explained it?

Should also help drive conversation on the match as well.

IMO people vote for the name rather than the team in a lot of cases now (could be wrong, but that's the way I see it). I see the same people voting for the same people in a few different threads (could be a trick of the mind) since it's the same small group doing things over and over.Considering this post from NM, shall we try it out that only votes that count are from those that explained it?

I think voters have specific preferences that are reflected by specific drafters. For instance my first concern is balance and cohesion rather than for instance the midfield "battle". I think I might overemphasise that on occasions however.IMO people vote for the name rather than the team in a lot of cases now (could be wrong, but that's the way I see it).

As an example, even if @Gio had a shit on a stick team (which isn't possible, he's the draft GOAT imo), i think some folks in the closed group would just give him the benefit of doubt and vote for him anyway. Heck, I'd even be tempted to do it myself. It's just bias from a small group built over time - nothing nefarious, but it's what causes it IMO
I always did it in the past for example but in the past year or so most of the cases I just vote as there is little to no discussion anyways so probably going with the flow.I think voters have specific preferences that are reflected by specific drafters.

Still requiring a short post explaining the vote will help match thread quality and give feedback to drafters.
I think it's just good manners at the end of the day. If you've gone to the effort of drafting a team and it hasn't landed as well as anticipated, then it's only fair to get some feedback. Might also prompt some debate as well.Considering this post from NM, shall we try it out that only votes that count are from those that explained it?

No worries on being harsh.. It's a forumI did vote for NM in the match thread, but time to sound harsh.
When your first post in a match thread is the below one, 20 hours after the game starts, expecting voters to post an explanation when you didnt make any attempt to debate on the match thread is unreasonable. Like in the good old days when managers did care about debating, more often than not, most of the regular players/voters did post their thoughts and joined the debate even if not as enthusiastically as the managers.
Current system is fine IMO. Need explanations? Induce them through debates and posts about your team's tactics and strengths and the opposition's tactics and weaknesses.
Fair enough.No worries on being harsh.. It's a forum
I had plenty of times where I've posted explanations and had lot of debates. As I saw the same thing happen over and over my effort reduced. Hence the fact that I said I play for the drafting part now. It wa just an observation on the way things went after we made it a closed group / forum by moving off the main pages.
Btw - have to say love your username !
Why didn't it work? I don't rememberWe did try that before. Didn't really work well.
Didn't really encourage more posts. Just less votes to count.Why didn't it work? I don't remember
its finished@Šjor Bepo How is the monopoly draft idea going?
its finished
tomorrow@Šjor Bepo Fire up the thread
tomorrow
Defenders would be a stretch but I'd give it a tryTrying to gauge interest for this:
Another simple draft which could be fun and have more lesser used players could be the Brazilian Draft. Only Brazilian players are eligible. The depth is huge there and we'd get players who don't appear that often too.
There not much randomness or luck in Auction?I'm too scarred by these recent luck-heavy drafts to even consider an auction.
That kinda backfired in previous drafts. In later reinforcement rounds, GOATs were going for peanuts as different managers reinforce different positions. Min pricing is a must. Though it doesn't affect wars at all as seen in previous drafts.Can even make it an auction draft, with no starting price for any players
Randomness not so much, luck absolutelyThere not much randomness or luck in Auction?
