All time British+Irish Fantasy Draft

Way I see it, the "I'll nominate Heskey" scenario isn't going to happen here in any shape or form. Nobody will be interested in a player who has been nominated PURELY as a ruse.

What might happen here is that people will nominate players who deserve to be in the relevant category and who might be of interest to them - but they won't break down in tears if someone else gets them. That's the worst case scenario, if you will. Most people will nominate a player they indend to get.

Making it a non-bid deal allows for the possibility of certain neutrals to nominate players in a scenario where there's a dearth of good options - which could plausibly happen down the line, when people start to get their teams together and aren't desperate for players.

If you go for the nominations - as opposed to just let people bid freely for whomever they want - I think this is the best way to go.

I retain final say in nominations so any shenanigans like nominating Heskey won't be allowed.

If I were Annah I would nominate every fecking winger under the sun so they are all out there while people have money. Last thing you want is others getting bargains surely. That's the bit I don't get... well, I do, and would fully utilise it, but it's odd.

Yeah. Hurst ain't all that, though. Hurst is that guy, who had that match - and that's enough, in a sense. In a different sense, though - it ain't. Easy to argue down Hurst - or so I would say.

Hehe. But Annah doesn't know every winger under the sun. And that might prove detrimental to him.

Tell me about it. You're a wealthy bastard at this point, man. Jimmy J at south of forty mill was a very decent piece of business. Hansen too, by all means. But I can't praise Hansen or anything Hansen related - it's just not done.

Blast.

Look - what we should do, lads, is a combination of a reality draft (Edgar's concept) and a manager draft (Annah's concept). And do it auction style.

If you choose Fergie, then, say - you'll be detracted points severely for spending money on midfielders. And conversely awarded much points and kudos for acknowledging there's no value in the bloody thing.

In that spirit (and being deep in spirits - not English ones, more those you find north of the wall) I might possibly just let this Bremner deal pass.

I suspect you ruthless oligarch types won't let me have him anyway - you'll just shower the whole set with yer rubles and dinars and whatnot - eh?

Well, I for one won't stand for such tactics. In the spirit(s) of Scottish sense and restraint (and non-restraint). Fergie style, in other words.

Bremner: Not value.

Plus: Leeds.

Ye-es. That's a point right there. That's screams of the young Scholes - doesn't it? Unless someone is bold enough to try what Annah and moi suggested some weeks back - Pirlo style Scholes in a three, protected by muscle and Scottish determination?
