Again too many GOATs will make it through. We'll do 4 rounds of picking and then go back to the normal drafting route, should be the best mix of the 2 without giving you all too much freedom.Can we draft the first 11 the normal way then use the other system for the last 10?
Yeah, why not - I'll give it a go.Has everyone signed up who wants to? @Chesterlestreet You in?
Yeah, why not - I'll give it a go.
Not clear on the drafting process, though. You pick three keepers in a preferred order? And - what? If you don't land #1, you land #2...etc.
And picks made by multiple managers get blocked?
And then, same for other positions?
How big will the final squads be?
But does that mean we go for full, realistic squads? Everyone ends up, after the first round, with three keepers?You'll pick the 3 you want for your squad.
5 players will be injured each round. Could turn out that 2 of your keepers are injured at some pointBut does that mean we go for full, realistic squads? Everyone ends up, after the first round, with three keepers?
Seems a tad excessive if so.
Right, I see.5 players will be injured each round. Could turn out that 2 of your keepers are injured at some point
I do realise it's an arse. I was surprised you progressed so quickly, would have happily waited for updates, e.g. one week = one in-game month. Probably not feasible with draft junkies, that's why I wanted to run one solo.FM was great for the managers but for me running it it took up so much time I was unable to complete the second season (much to @antohan dismay before he could win the CL )
I think ideally there would be 3-4 people with FM that could run the sim and pass along the save files so its not so much work for one person
He can let it run but to get the detailed screenshots I think he actually had to "watch" the game. And there's the not insignificant workload of taking screenshots of each game, uploading them, posting them here, commenting on each team and how league is shaping up... And that's before we all start asking why X isn't playing, asking for their stats, etcYeah, I guess the "no effort" part would be true only for the managers.
I'm not familiar with the specifics of FM - you can't just start a simulation and let it run? You have to, well, do something frequently in order to run it?
You are right, he did.@P-Nut I think @Stobzilla wanted to play too.
Anybody got ideas of who else to tag? It would be good to get to 16 players
I'm just using the first in your list as the starred oneAre we doing the star thingy? Or just 3 names?
Everyone will draft 23 players. With 5 injured each round you'll have 18 to pick from each weekWhat's the word on squad size?
Fixed or an upper limit?
Right, thanks!Everyone will draft 23 players. With 5 injured each round you'll have 18 to pick from each week
Definitely needs to happen.can we be sacked in the middle of the season?
can we be sacked in the middle of the season? Reckon my team will need Big Sam at certain point
He missed mine too. That's what happens when you're last on a list@Ecstatic missed out from my PM
Yeah not a problem, different people have left different people off. I'm doing most of the collating anyways.@P-Nut Btw you can only have 5 people in a PM not 6?
Been considering this myself today. Think it'll be done using classic wingers, then all defensive/central/attacking midfielders as midfield.@P-Nut For the rest of the Pmed picks how hard or soft are you drawing the lines between midfielders and forwards etc? So is a number 10 a midfielder or a forward, secondly is a winger a midfielder or forward?
is this a low maintenance draft? (don't know enough or have the spare time, to have lengthy discussions/arguments).@Fortitude @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson You may be interested
