All players who have made at least 100 post-WW2 appearances for Manchester United are available for drafting. For the purpose of this competition, players are judged based on both their playing ability and overall footballing impact on United. Each manager gets to pick 12 players to form a squad (11 starters and 1 substitute).
Competition format is 2 groups of 4, top 2 in each group advance to the semi-finals. Post-group stage, there will be a secondary round of drafting, where each of the semi-finalists add 6 more players to their squads from a common pool of players drawn from the eliminated teams (the drafting order of the remaining 4 teams will be reversed from that of the primary draft).
Managerial applicants are welcome to come in solo or as co-managers taking charge of one team
Would anybody be interested?
Draft rules
* Managers will take turns to draft players (first round of draft will start with Manager 1 and end with manager 8, second round starts with Manager 8 and ends with Manager 1, third round will start from Manager 1, so and so forth)
* You have 4 hours to post your draft pick. 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.
* Your draft pick is valid only after you have updated the overall list of picks. You are encouraged to post a picture of the player and elaborate on why you picked this player.
* Once you have posted your draft pick, you have to PM the manager next in line to inform him/her that it is his/her turn
* Once the draft is complete, match threads will be started where each manager posts their match team, tactics and any persuasive arguments why their team has an upper hand over the opposition etc.
