any reason for this?
Also note goalkeepers can be injured.

IMO it creates advantage for whoever lands a keeper pick injured (regardless if it is pick 8 or 10) and makes it unnecessary to pick another keeper in your 15 man squad.

I suppose the logic is, precisely, that a random turn will get injuries and if it so happens you picked a keeper in it you'd better have a backup.

Speaking of, feck off @Joga Bonito. I'm now officially completely indifferent about who I get to play in goal. :lol:

yeah that's given, but with all the talk about evening the injuries in terms of random chance an outfield player always weights more than a keeper.

For example you have 3 reserves alongside the second keeper and in the same round one has keeper injured (that he has a backup) and the other manager can't field a left back for example, which eventually ends the tie.

IMO it creates advantage for whoever lands a keeper pick injured (regardless if it is pick 8 or 10) and makes it unnecessary to pick another keeper in your 15 man squad.

The reason is so that we can have a clean injury system which should hopefully impact teams equally on quality. Also you really need a second keeper if the first one is injured.

I suppose I could have had it where by it is one whole round that is injured but if it was a keeper we would injure one of the players in the following round to avoid this e.g. round 7 is injured but you have a keeper in round 7so have your 8th player injured instead. . I didn't think of it at the time and everyone has picked according to the rules so I don't want to change them now. Something to keep in mind for the future

Tough shit really. You should have a squad able to deal with injuries.

One reason I made sure my fullbacks couldn't get injured as it would be an absolute bitch to find three fullbacks that could be as good as that (one being able on both sides) or even four. Main reason I picked Luis Enrique on turn 4 as well, if I get all my first choice targets he may not even start.

Look at @Isotope there, his 8th pick is clearly a sub/tactical variation.

It's absolutely fine as it is.

Two players on Dr. Segura magic shakes and three outfield subs to cover all remaining scenarios is bang in the sweetspot re: flexible drafting/players/tactics.

yeah naturally. My picks are in accordance to the injuries as well and every single player in my team can play in two positions apart from Aldair.

My point is it will create some dead rubbers that it's a bit of a shame to decide the tie based on one having an outfield player injured and the other a keeper that the quality in backup won't be too big of a drop anyway.

Again, the depth of the pool in most positions is immense. If there is too big a drop in quality and a dead rubber as a result of a single injury it's on the manager really.

yeah, no worries. As physio said one to think about in the future drafts.

You can't break what is already broken.

Got a Whatsapp audio message from him today:

"You were right, I'm loving it here. Iso is all about attacking drills. He says Ronaldo will just get past defenders as if they weren't there so just sticks some traffic cones out there.

I spend all day playing cards with Ciro, this is great! I'm never coming back. (muffled background "niente, niente, rilassato negli spogliatoi")"

Et tu Ciro :(
 
tbf to edgar, Pires never gets picked.

I rate him but his peak was all too fleeting imo. A really silky player who was a delight to watch, but perhaps one who didn't quite have the mettle to truly elevate himself onto the next level. Either way, he fits rather well into what I'm trying to go for, so can't really complain.
