It's hard to tell really. You are doing great clubs-wise.
Decades Chain Draft
- Thread starter Šjor Bepo
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
So @Šjor Bepo do you agree to Physio's suggestion? I can make the picks until LS shows up, no probs.
Also, how does 12th player and reinforcements work? Must continue chain? I'd assume there would never be players from same country on the pitch and the blocked clubs remain blocked unless the player is discarded/subbed out, right?
Actually, that can make it quite tricky. If you need to keep your XI compliant with nations, clubs and half decades, the scope for reinforcement is 100% shaped by the initial drafting, which would be great for a change.
Anyhow, thoughts guys? Otherwise it's your turn @crappycraperson but you are fishing from the same pool so inclined to just have a stab here.

Left mine with Edgar.
yeah, go ahead
thinking between flat out continuing the chain or adding an option where you can sell a player and go from the sold era
Would love to see @Lord SInister face when he gets back

@antohan You literally took my next two picks
You literally took my next two picksSimonsen is such a anto pick
That was a genius idea you had, huh?@antohan
Very much so. My usual flexible option I would happily take to a final and yet by game 2 I'm being told is a weakness.Simonsen is such a anto pick
But then, that's @Lord SInister 's problem, just setting him up to easily upgrade massively if he survives game 1.

@Enigma_87
This is such a weird procession
Seems to me choosing the starting point later was a bigger advantage than picking first

I was certain you’d take him and had my blame-ridden post ready to hurl at Physio. However, you seem to have screwed him up instead.

My interpretation here is the blocked country is the one played for during the period, right? e.g. I could pick a Ukrainian since Demyanenko never played for them. Same for Yugoslavia and Serbia/Croatia, surely? Even if the player eventually played for a break-up nation what matters/blocks is who they played for during the period.
What's the deal with friendlies? I'd assume that since they do not qualify as declaring for a nation then they don't count, right?
@Šjor Bepo
Just realised I was playing this to a harder constraint than the actual one.
I was doing it so that once a player blocks a club none of the others can have ever played for that team (not just in their own selected five years).

@Edgar Allan Pillow
WTF that's what I thought it was also.
I am pretty sure that is the case. Those clubs and international teams are blocked for whole draft
I spoke with Bepo, the non existing countries are going per place of birth as per usual, so Demyanenko is locked to Ukraine, even though he played for USSR.
Friendlies don't count, only official games.
