All-time drafts are great but they can become GOATfests and therefore somewhat dull. So in this draft you will have a budget so you will probably end up with many peaches of a player but only one GOAT.

Draft Rules
Following the initial drafting a vote will be taken to determine who wins the Best Drafter Award. Each manager will rank the top three squads that he think were drafted the best (excluding his own). Three points will be assigned to 1st place, two points for 2nd place and one point for 3rd place. These will be sent to a neutral who will then reveal the results.
Player Prices
These prices are final. It took ages to come up with these. The idea was to value them according to their pull in drafts, not necessarily how we rate them. Many players you may disagree with the prices but they shouldn't be wildly off the value you have in your mind.
Any outfield player not listed will cost 30m; unlisted goalkeepers will cost 20m. If you think a player is missing off the list and should be worth more 40m or more please post it on the thread and I will add them (please don't keep it to your self for an advantage, please play in the spirit of the draft). The players are split into Keepers, Defenders, Midfielders and Forwards for ease of finding a player's price, obviously a few players could be put into different lists.
Match Rules
After the draft starts all games must be played within a week so the draft should take no longer than 4 weeks. If you submit a team sheet but can't engage in the match thread the game will go on anyway. In the case of nothing being provided and you don't show, you will forfeit the game. In the case of an emergency I'm sure a fellow drafter or neutral may be able to argue for you and provide a team from your squad. Just post on this main thread and ask for help.
There shall be no subs during the game, but tactical changes are permitted.
NB. In the case of joint managers/AMs one drafter takes the lead and can post as many times as he likes - the other is strictly limited to 3 posts.
Draws will be decided the team whose player has the best looking wife/girlfriend. Once you have finished drafting you will send one relatively safe for work picture to an independent committee. They will decide who is the best looking and that team will win.
Reinforcements (Budgets are now finalised)
The total increase in budget will be 40m for the QF, 40m for the SF and 50m for the final. So your budget for the QF will be 640m, for the SF it will be 680m and for the Final it will be 730m. You can also sell players.
You can sell two (in the QF RR only you can draft 3 new players) players and draft one in a single turn and then draft a second player (with no sales) on your second turn. Essentially player sales are a free action. This should allow a better use of the budget.
e.g First turn - sell van Hanegem 75 and Stielike 55. So reinforcement budget is now 75+55+60 (the extra fund per reinforcement round) = 190. So you would have 190 to spend on two players. You must however draft two players to make your squad equal 12 by the end of the round.
Obviously you could just sell one player per pick round too (maybe because you want to see what others are up to) but it should give some more flexibility.
For the reinforcements for the QF, SF and final you can draft a maximum of 3 players.
Players drafted from defeated managers are available as are previously undrafted players. Also players sold by drafters in the reinforcement round will be available for drafting but only in subsequent reinforcement rounds. For example, if I sell Godin in the QF reinforcement round no other drafter can pick him in that round of drafting, however he would be available to draft in the reinforcements for the SF.
Reinforcements will be a reverse snake for QF, original snake for SF and reverse snake for the Final.
You must always have a minimum of 12 players in your squad by the end of the drafting or reinforcement stages.
Draft Rules
- All players must have a full game online.
- Snake-Style: The teams will be put in a random order then the first on the list gets first pick going down to 16 but then drafter 16 gets two picks then drafter 15 picks working back up the snake until we've finished all the squads.
- Initial squads will be formed of 12 players
- All of the originally drafted players must appear in R1 and/or the QF (if you get there) NB. No picking two keepers so one can play in one game and one the other.
- The only limitation is that you cannot spend more than 600m on your initial squad.
- No changing of picks.
- You have 4 hours to pick and an extra 4 hours if you PM your pick to the next drafter in the snake.
Following the initial drafting a vote will be taken to determine who wins the Best Drafter Award. Each manager will rank the top three squads that he think were drafted the best (excluding his own). Three points will be assigned to 1st place, two points for 2nd place and one point for 3rd place. These will be sent to a neutral who will then reveal the results.

Match Rules
After the draft starts all games must be played within a week so the draft should take no longer than 4 weeks. If you submit a team sheet but can't engage in the match thread the game will go on anyway. In the case of nothing being provided and you don't show, you will forfeit the game. In the case of an emergency I'm sure a fellow drafter or neutral may be able to argue for you and provide a team from your squad. Just post on this main thread and ask for help.
There shall be no subs during the game, but tactical changes are permitted.
NB. In the case of joint managers/AMs one drafter takes the lead and can post as many times as he likes - the other is strictly limited to 3 posts.
Draws will be decided the team whose player has the best looking wife/girlfriend. Once you have finished drafting you will send one relatively safe for work picture to an independent committee. They will decide who is the best looking and that team will win.
Reinforcements (Budgets are now finalised)
The total increase in budget will be 40m for the QF, 40m for the SF and 50m for the final. So your budget for the QF will be 640m, for the SF it will be 680m and for the Final it will be 730m. You can also sell players.
You can sell two (in the QF RR only you can draft 3 new players) players and draft one in a single turn and then draft a second player (with no sales) on your second turn. Essentially player sales are a free action. This should allow a better use of the budget.
e.g First turn - sell van Hanegem 75 and Stielike 55. So reinforcement budget is now 75+55+60 (the extra fund per reinforcement round) = 190. So you would have 190 to spend on two players. You must however draft two players to make your squad equal 12 by the end of the round.
Obviously you could just sell one player per pick round too (maybe because you want to see what others are up to) but it should give some more flexibility.
For the reinforcements for the QF, SF and final you can draft a maximum of 3 players.
Players drafted from defeated managers are available as are previously undrafted players. Also players sold by drafters in the reinforcement round will be available for drafting but only in subsequent reinforcement rounds. For example, if I sell Godin in the QF reinforcement round no other drafter can pick him in that round of drafting, however he would be available to draft in the reinforcements for the SF.
Reinforcements will be a reverse snake for QF, original snake for SF and reverse snake for the Final.
You must always have a minimum of 12 players in your squad by the end of the drafting or reinforcement stages.
