No, not some (debatable) crazy idea the FA is introducing....
Rather a game I thought some of my fellow 'Caftards and I could play. Basically, here is how it would work.
* = may not happen
The tough thing about this game is what position do you pick in what order? Is a good Goalkeeper your priority before they are all taken for example....
Im just throwing this idea out there after Ive seen it work very well on another forum. There would be 2 threads, one strictly for choosing players and one for discussing the draft with everybody else. Id be up for running this thing, as Im online practically every day.
Some other rules would be that you would have to explain why you're picking this player - you want to convince others why this player is a good pick. There would also be a time limit to take your pick, so if you didnt pick in say 24 hours, or 48 hours, then the draft would continue and you post your pick whenever you can, but you risk it being taken as the next person in line is allowed make their choice if you dont post in time.
Im just throwing this idea out there, and before I take names for participating, Id like to know if others think its a good or bad idea, and if they had any good ideas to throw into the mix.

UPDATE: Seeing as I started this thread late at night/morning, and the initial feedback has been positive, all those interested in participating please reply to this thread declaring your interest. I'll then draw the names at random of who will be participating just so everyone has an equal chance. Im sorry it has to be limited to 16, but it was either that or 32, and 32 would be too hard to keep track of. If the first one is a success, there might just be a second one!
Rather a game I thought some of my fellow 'Caftards and I could play. Basically, here is how it would work.
- The idea is to pick a team of 11 players from the Premier League era (since the competition name first changed).
- You will be looking to pick the best players you possibly can for your team.
- The player is picked based upon there performances at their time in the Premier League (i.e. if you pick Andriy Shevchenko, his form at Kiev and Milan does NOT come into the equation during the competition).
- The player must also have played in a minimum of 2 different seasons in the league to prevent the selection of one season wonders.
- 16 people will participate
- Each person will be randomly drawn from a hat to determine order of picks so that each person will be allocated a number between 1 and 16.
- Number 1 gets first pick, Number 2 gets second pick, Number 3 gets third pick and so on....
- Once Number 16 has picked, the first round of the draft is over. Then the order is reversed, and Number 16 gets to have first pick in the second round of the Draft, Number 15 gets second pick, Number 14 gets third pick etc.
- In the third round, Number 1 once again gets first pick after having last pick in Round 2. This sequence continues until 11 Draft Rounds have been complete.
- Once the draft is complete, the 16 teams will enter into a cup format competition, where there will be 8 matches.
- Each match will be decided upon the number of votes each team gets from the rest of the 'Caftards NOT participating.
- The winner will forever have the fame of winning the RedCafe Premier League Draft competition. I assure you that every girl you ever meet will be impressed and want to sleep with you. *
