Guess I misunderstood your proposal
It would be quite slow, I don’t see anyway to get around it unless you have a few people ‘meet up’ at a given time to get a few done.
OR two other managers could be selected who wouldn't be in the actual draft but would be there to throw a spanner in the works. They are positioned at 0 and 17 on the list. They then pick a player (who is then blocked from the draft) and the managers selected at 1 and 16 then have to pick a player that has played with them. Could be a great player, could be a muppet....
Doesn't that make it far too long between picks for the bookends?
That sounds like a raw deal. The one thing that puts me off is precisely the matches.
Makes sense. Marginally better to be closer to the top (available pool) but that is always constrained by the prior pick.
Yes. And slower as well. More options = more time for everyone to sit around waiting for the results of obscure research efforts.
You'd obviously help out the drafting aswell I just meant the matches he'd definitely be stuck due to post limit. Thought you wasn't actually interested in playing properly which is why I suggested it.
Issue with that (and @Šjor Bepo's) idea is the manager still gets almost consecutive picks so can control the ballpark for his next pick or even make an offer that can't be refused.
I was. I said it wasn't a drafting challenge but would be a laugh. Oh well...
Partner up?
sure but it goes other way around as well, if you have to pick Dixie Dean teammate first, then you are in the crap boat as well because there is a possibillity the snake cant recover quickly from a dead alley. In reality, there isnt a great solution for this problem, we can only find one that makes the least harm.
More than 16 managers and have groups?
Nah, there really isn't anything to plan or discuss, just whimsical picking.
It's already going to be slow enough to add managers AND games.
This is what they did on that thread posted earlier. Everyone voted on the best keeper, best defence, best midfield and best attack and then added the scores up. Could be a good idea seeing as the drafting process is probably going to take ages!
That's true but say manager 16 picks Modric, Cristiano can then be picked by someone outside the draft (number 17) and so gets blocked. Then when it gets back to manager 16 to make his second consecutive pick he has to choose someone else...
You still manage the ballpark. Unless #17 picks some obscure Inter Zapresic player, which is a bit shit when you can't retaliate with the shoe on the other foot.
We've played a couple of "Criteria" drafts before on similar theme. Check out the OP for links.
I'm lost in recent discussions. Can you post a draft OP here summarizing rules/gamplay you have in mind?
I don't see why we shouldn't have the games like we usually do. Raking is a good idea for remake type drafts IMO where you don't really play against each other. In this draft its just the pool is random at each turn which is not very different from say monopoly draft. I think we should definitely have matches.
Yeah I'll start a thread. Its not complicated at all but would just be slow.
If it's just posting a team stuff count me out.. bores me that does.
Prbably not a good idea with the other draft still on. Can you post here?
ah sure, will do.
You can join me mate.
Sure, I'd be happy to join you.
Has the final happened? I missed it. I'll start the new thread tonight.
Yep.
