I might have been affected by the 1st half was just saw, but here goes:
Chicharito

New Fantasy Draft
- Thread starter Cal?
- Start date
im not arguing with that selection 
Always a good idea to pick United players, afterall, the voters will be mostly United fans.
Sounds like a good idea.
By the way, anyone interested in being a scout to discuss team options / pick players, just drop me a PM!
Damn I was gonna pick Chicha
Ill go with Germany's WC 2010 top scorer and Bayern hit man
Thomas Mueller

Thomas Mueller
Two of the names on my list there. I was hoping Mueller might have gone unnoticed a bit longer, but still plenty of fish in the sea.
gareth bale
The 80 Million Pound man himself, Gareth Bale.

Loads of my other firs choices have gone already, so:
Javier Pastore:

Hang on, I thought messi wasn't allowed
Since I am depressed, that everyone else took what I wanted:
I take Neymar
I take Neymar
Damn you K Stand Knut, really wanted Pastore
Difficult where to start, but I'm going with this guy:
Gonzalo Higuain
Gonzalo Higuain
Motherfecker.
I was hoping he would be forgotten about!
He was going to be my 2nd pick.
the established players will be gobbled up in the 1st two rounds. No use despairing when your 2nd pick gets selected by someone else
Would have thought people will build from the back instead of starting upfront.
My observation of the voting pattern in previous fantasy drafts indicate that people value balanced sides.
Exactly. With 16 of us as well, this is going to be so difficult for everyone.
and long.
can i play?
balance is crucial but it is also important to get the best players as quickly as possible. Balance can be considered after the 1st 2 rounds of voting
The talent pool is heavily skewered to the attacking side though, might just be me, but I can hardly think of more than 10 prominent defenders that fit your criteria.
Edit: Bloody hell, Messi's still fecking young

Just a suggestion, to speed things along, what do you guys think about picking 2-3 players each round after the first 4-5 rounds? By that stage, I'm guessing the order won't matter as much, it'd be more to do with how much you know about young players.
Anyway, let me know what you guys think...

Sounds like a good idea, I don't have a problem.
I am okay with that. If others disagree, at least do that for the last round/after 11 rounds.
who's turn is it anyways? someone should PM him/her?
Next up is Desert Eagle, he still has about 18 hours...
Its a good idea in theory but could get messy later on if peoples picks get stolen long before they get to make theirs
I'm not really in any rush to finish the draft so I wouldn't mind taking it slow
Maybe give people 6 hours to make their pick? I know it might be a bit harsh on people who are busy but it doesnt take more than a minute.
Be fair sol, 12 hours shouldn't cover too much, if it was 6 say the one before you posted as you were going to sleep there would be no chance of updating it in time.
That does make much more sense.
I think as long as we are emailing each other when its the next persons turn it should move pretty smoothly
I think Desert Eagle is from/lives in India, so he probably be sleeping right now!
just for reference since i never said, but my AM/Scout is sajeev.
Good idea to try and speed it up - I would suggest you dont bother with subs either and just get First XI done or you will be here until Xmas.
I dont think subs is really an option. Lets face it that with 16 teams picking 11 players each thats 176 players already. After that it is just going to be picking any name ending in "ho" or "ez" to try to impress the caftard voters.

I too think 11 players are enough, and 12 hours between picks are a minimum. What' s the worst that can happen if you are a few hours late? You get a couple of guys predicting before you, that's all. You can still predict at any time.
I don't think predicting 2-3 at a time at the end is a great idea. the ones at the end have a huge disadvantage if 30 odd players are already chosen before them. Doesn't make much of a difference to me personally since I'm right at the centre of the pack, but the ones at the extremes will be affected.
