It will be 8 + 3 in all likelyhood
All time British+Irish Fantasy Draft
- Thread starter crappycraperson
- Start date
Oh sorry about that. Hope you find someone else as your am.
Sorry. Would have to pass this one!
also, shouldn't we be pming our choices for election to a.neutral ?
crappy what happens if two people elect the same player?

Does not matter if you PM it to a neutral or the mod since all players will revealed for the auction anyway. Everyone will have a chance to have a pop at him.
If a player is repeated we will open it up for more nominations.
Any spots still available? Haven't done a draft for a while and with these new formats...
Yes. You are in. Read the rules
I'll sit this one out. Also I reckon you should give it a month or so (maybe after Christmas) until starting this one. Feels like we've had so many drafts lately.
It really depends on the pool of players, I'm not as knowledgeable in the British pool so I might stay out again sadly.Does it matter?
join in, you passed the last one too!
8 English + 3 Irish/Scottish/Wales?
I fully expect @Chesterlestreet to rock this draft. I guess that's why @crappycraperson 'forgot' to tag him, so that he at least has a chance to win.
Hell yes I am!
He'd beast it if he played. I will step down my spot for him if he misses out and wants in!
Oh, but of course. Count me in.
Sorry, would love to but I have some prior commitments that I can't wriggle my way out of. All work and no play. :sadsack:
NP. Take part in the next draft if you can.
Unlikely, I would end up with an Unknown Hardsell XI
Like the format and the way it forces quite a bit of research, same would apply to a SAM one as well. Good stuff.
How about posting in the thread itself. Would help avoiding duplication.
When can we start nominating players @crappycraperson
Interesting draft. I am looking forward to see some weird teams/players. Sadly I dont have any time at all to participate. Domestic struggles. 
I think this is a good time to start one with international break and all. Then we can have a break over Xmas
It is all time British+Irish one(6 English + 5 others) draft, plus an auction one. So the best part is someone like Gio might put up some player for a bid, you can research him and then buy him
Let's finalize the teams first. I am also pondering if we should allow 3 foreigners who played in any of the top leagues in eligible countries.
Nah! I love the original idea, it will allow people to highlight those who fits the criteria. They get overlooked an awful lot because there are just so many more creative/better dribblers about from other countries.
Will be a much better draft if we let those players get a turn to shine a little bit instead of having Ronaldo/Rivaldo/Ronaldinho/Maradona blabla in the spotlight for the 200th draft.
All those won't be available anyways since they did not play in any British or Irish league. It would allow players like Cantona, Henry, C.Ron in though. Don't think we can go for 16 teams just with home nation talent
Why don't you do it with 10? Five games, the two winners with the smallest winning margin have a play off for the fourth spot in the semis. Play-offs would be topical, wouldn't they?
You can have a round for an underappreciated/unsuccessful geniuses that fecked their talent up, like Le Tissier (obviously the star), Friday and Trundle? I can imagine Stobz being particularly keen on Trundle
We have 11 already right now
Pat_mustard will be my assistant btw
I will wait for @Chesterlestreet @Cutch @VivaJanuzaj @Theon deciding on participation before starting either way. Will finalize playing rules then
Regardless first round would be for Marquee players indeed. So in the mean time participating managers can PM me their first round nomination for the same.

I think we should wait till you finalize the rules as I think if ronaldo is allowed he will go in the marquee player round.
How do you determine which player is a marqueeplayer btw?
Sorry guys, still busy with work and will be working abroad too. Will have to pass this one too =[.
This is just British+Irish Marquee players
It is simple enough. Think of the best British players of all time.
Well you could do it similar to the NFL post season; go for 12 teams, 2 with the biggest winning margins get a bye to the semi finals, the other 4 play in 2 play offs. But I'm not sure that'll keep interest / be enough matches.
Infact we don't need PMs.. open nominations is fine I guess
Nominations for round 1
George Best - crappy
Kenny Dalglish - Lynk
