The 4-Way Draft
- Thread starter Edgar Allan Pillow

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Nah, that is ok. That just makes it less fun. Brazil is the only team that deserves breaking up.You could choose Real or Barca and split the pool. Just sayin
Ok will I get tagged when it is my turn so I have 8hrs to pick a player.
One player at a time until our squad is filled, no duplicates - as I understand.
ffs @Moby
Everyone should have just PM'd their choice to Edgar. People chopping and changing the choices every time someone else picks just makes it more tedious.
@Edgar Allan Pillow this guy is criticising your draft already. I'd penalise him by banning him from picking any Argentinians.
OK, I've updated the threadmarks.
On the contrary, I'm trying to say people made it more difficult for him.
And any Argentinians I'd want will be long gone before my pick anyway

Oh, Pat has the La Máquina all to himself 
In hindsight I should have put Moby and Tuppet next to each other.

I'm nailed on to get one of the top tier greats I think, but in an ideal world everyone else would just leave the Argies to me completely.Aye, that could be a godsend for me. The lack of footage is just so fecking frustrating though, and it makes it so difficult to carry them into the later stages of a draft sadly.Oh, Pat has the La Máquina all to himself
I can say for 100% certainty I will not be picking any Argentinians. But prepare for the Falklands if we get drawn R1
Interesting.. funny of how the importance of the ladder position is so fecked up because of the 4way concept. Not sure if this is good or bad for me.
I want a speedy drafting process

I was thinking that it would be a strange role reversal for the South American to be arguing for England and the guy from the British Isles to be arguing for the South American country, but then I remembered that I'm Irish and sticking the boot into England comes naturally for us - Oaencha (1971-76) -

Cruyyff with a PSG short: he can't picked by the previous managers
@Oaencha
Good man
I think I'm ready to pick. Are there any blocks?
No blocks to my knowledge. please submit your pick born between 71 & 76
Not necessarily a bad news, you are in a position to take 2 of your top 3 priorities.

@Ecstatic don't need the 72 after Zidane. Should be obvious.
Ok Updated
I picked England for a few reasons. First I had committed to writing a long profile on Herbert Chapman and that old Arsenal WM a while back so thought England might be a good way to research it more. But more important I noticed there would be few cross-overs to worry about and I wanted easy drafting since running the FM2017 Legend draft is more time consuming than I imagined
I hope this skipping picks wont become a thing.
Why?
Personal preference, i like everything in order and if everyone started dropping players it would be a mess....not to mention in case of a mistake(and there will always be mistakes) you cant fix it.
If there is a mistake, the pick isn't taken into account.
of course but then we know who you want etc.
@Oaencha I thought that was between him and someone else. Glad you went with him.
Agree with Sjor. If a person is busy or will be offline, then please PM myself of any online neutrals/drafters and leave your pick with them.
Say, Skizzo might have been wanting to pick Cruyff. You posting that during your turn would cause him heartbreak (so near yet so close) which is avoided if you post so early out of sync. I'd be happy if Skizzo get to suffer draft reversals.

Agreed
Huh what am I missing, isn't the whole point of the draft lottery the fact that it's meant to be in order?
True. Ecstatic knows however that no-one before him could pick Cruyff so it's not wrong but against the spirit somewhat imo
If the spirit is to have a slow process, I agree with you: my pick is against the spirit somewhat.
