Draft Rules
Serie A/La Liga/Bundesliga Draft
Players who are eligible: Players who have played in at least one of these leagues are eligible.
Format: Snake draft. 16 managers. The order will be randomly selected.
Restrictions:
1. Only players born after 1st January 1960 will be eligible
2. Each squad must consist of 4 players from each league. If they played in more than 1 league the manager must specify which league they will represent within their write ups for the first round match. A manager may select a player who has played in more than one league and use him to represent different leagues in different rounds (for example Lothar Matthaus, who is blocked for this draft played in Germany and Italy. He could have been chosen to represent the German league in the first round and Serie A in the ½ final).
3. Each starting XI must have a minimum of 3 OUTFIELD players from each league.
4. Player abilities will be based upon their performance in the league they are representing, not career peak.
5. There are no restrictions on whether a player played in more than one league. In fact these are most likely to be the popular picks this time round.
6. Before the draft commences 48 players will be blocked. These can be from any of the leagues (each manager must choose three players). This might seem a lot but it will mean that we all have to research new players, not featured in these drafts previously. Plus 48 players across three of the biggest leagues in Europe over approximately 35 seasons worth of talent isn’t actually that many.
7. In addition to the ‘league rule’, each team must have a minimum of 5 nationalities in the starting XI. If a player has played for more than one national team, you must select one and state which nationality when producing your write ups. There are obviously no limitations as to the maximum number of nationalities in your squad.
8. If an ineligible player is selected you are stuck with him. If a second ineligible player is selected, you will be given a sheep.
Drafting sequence: First the teams will be randomly drawn to determine their drafting order, from 1 to 16.
A second draw will take place immediately afterwards (before any player has been picked) to draw the first round of matches. This will mean you will know who you are playing against before assembling your team and will enable you to ‘plan’ how to beat your opponent.
General Draft Rules:
G1 - All matches will be for 24 hrs
G2 -You have 8 hours to post your draft pick and update the list. If you do not do so, the draft proceeds to the next manager in line and it is up to you to post your draft pick at your earliest convenience.
G3 -Once you have posted your draft pick you can't change it and you have to tag the manager(s) next in line to inform him/her that it is his/her turn. There will be NO exceptions to this rule, please honour it, even if you feck up.
G4 - Managers may delegate an Assistant Manager to assist them, as long as it doesn't cause continuous waiting while "discussing" picks. If delays continue, you'll be stripped of your AM. AM'scanpost the pick for the manager, and that pick will also be final. So be sure before posting.
G5 - When posting your draft pick, please post a picture of the player. You can also briefly explain why you picked this player. This will help keep discussions going as well as outside interest.
G6 - Voting is based on league peak.
G7 - Reinforcement pool will be all eliminated teams. Not round specific.
Squad size:
12 players before the first match, then 14 for the quarterfinals, 16 for the semifinals and 17 for the final
Before the first round all squads must have 4 players representing each league (La Liga/Serie A/Bundesliga). When making reinforcements, there will be no restrictions to how many reinforcements are from each league (i.e by the final you could have 9 La Liga players in your squad if you wish). BUT you must still ensure that the starting XI has a minimum of 3 OUTFIELD players from each league.
Matchday:
For the first round, teams will be drawn against each other before players are picked. Winners of each match will then be randomly drawn against each other.
Reinforcements: after each knockout round all eliminated players go into a reinforcement pool. After the first round and the quarterfinals, each manager gets to pick 2 players in a snake format with the draft order reversed from the previous round. After the semi-final, the two finalists can only pick one player as a reinforcement.
The same nationality restrictions will also apply for all rounds.
