Ahh see your point, upto EAP but I think its fair. As you are losing a reinforcement to make a stronger link so balances out. Although based on my understanding of the rules, I dont think thats possible..

It doesn't say yes or no. In fairness, EAP would have been a genius if he anticipated that sort of scenario, it only struck me yesterday.

Edit- I hope this draft has reignited your interest in holding that crazy draft of yours.

It's very time-consuming, have created an immense backlog of work as a result of that midweek game. I'll probably need to hold it when I take holidays next and will need a very evil co-mod who can stay on top of things.

No, you don't. It's something else I'm talking about.

The way this works you can now do a mini-chain starting at 8-12. First pick is B and second pick is C, C caan't have played with whoever kicked it off.

Now, for the next round, we lose 8 & 9. The next reinforcement can be done off 10-14.

My issue (and I can imagine plenty of other cases) is I lose Hohberg at 9th for the next round and he links me to many players. So the question is whether at a later stage (or even now) I can "pick Hohberg again" as a reinforcement so as to use his links.

Of course it means in that round I would only actually get one new player instead of two. It's all a bit bizarre I know, but I have three directions I could shoot in and that factor would weigh on my decision.

@Edgar Allan Pillow, what's your take on that? My next pick depends on it so we may as well clear it pronto.

Ruud's last proper goal scoring season was 07/08. That summer before the season started Beckham left on a free transfer to join LA Galaxy. His replacement was Arjen Robben.

Am I the only one who has often looked at a manager in a team and felt like we misssed a trick/possible curveball by not allowing them to be part of a chain? E.g. Müller-Guardiola-Laudrup?

I keep checking out sides looking for links and finding the only other player worth picking was the manager in his prime :lol:

You sure you don't want to play in it? The other advantage in having a co-mod is you can vouch for the rules/events taking place being set in stone beforehand, if anyone doesn't like what happens in a certain round it is just fate, nothing designed or constructed to screw them specifically.

It was mine as well, but @Tuppet is right. I read the post in the previous page again and it clearly states if you start with 10 the first pick can't have played with 9.

@The Stain needs to change his pick too.

It's the same principle as original draft.

Say you use the 10th draft pick to link up...

1st reinforcement pick - Should have played with Player 10 but not with Player 9 (same 15 game/season applies here too)
2nd reinforcement pick - Should have played 1st reinforcement pick but not with with Player 10.

Remember, the reinforcement pool is open!

He did me very proud with that showing! He knows he's always welcome back. He's the brains of the operation don't forget.

And realistically, his team was good enough to go through, and bar @Edgar Allan Pillow doing what he does best...I'd have been out too.

Yups, I said as much, you had EAP to thank for that. With no such barmy subs it would be you knocking on his door.
