All time British+Irish Fantasy Draft

On the subject of nominations - I have to say it was a bit of a kick in the bollocks that we're only allowed one in this round. Thing is that it's bound to be a bit random whether you get a top notch player for a pittance (because he doesn't fit anyone else's plans) - or lose out on your only nomination.

Still, something will feck up your plans at some point anyway - it's the nature of the game and I ain't going to moan on about it. I do, however, think that it should have been stated at the beginning either a) that each manager would be allowed X nominations in round so-and-so OR that it would be a curve ball sort of thing from the draft master all the way.

The nomination rules, as they stand, clearly do not apply - and haven't been in force at all at any point. I don't mind a curve ball approach - not at all. But I'd prefer it to be stated explicitly that this will be the case.

Yeah, I agree with this.

Ideally last round would have had 16 and this one would have had 16. But I made it 2+1 so as to avoid all who is nominating how many.

MFs+Defenders got more nominations because you require more of them.

Still 3 round to go where no positional constraint is there so plenty of time left
 
I think we can still speed this up. Don't think there'll be that many bid wars considering most are nearing end of budget.

Waiting for a day just to nominate a 10m player is quite slow at this stage of drafting imo.

Anyways after this it is just 3 generic rounds. Don't think there will be a deluge of nominations next round either. Can collapse into one and move to snake.
 
How does snake work btw? Assuming I get my 12th player on budget I'll have 5 million left, is that enough to play?

No problem, crappers - I was just having a bit of a moan.

Plenty more fish in the sea!
 
Something which struck me now - just a word of caution:

Not saying this has been a problem thus far, but I'd suggest that it's best not to post anecdotes, player profiles, links to articles - and so on - if such material mentions unpicked players.

People should do their research - no sense in making it too easy, right?

@Gio
 
I'll have him as a sub, and he'll sit there willing me on to win ;)

Great nomination - no doubt about it.

But you do realize that if you want him as a sub, you need to get in one more non English player, right? You need five non English on the pitch - not in the squad.

A maximum of 6 players who are only eligible for England can be part of playing 11 at any point in the match.
 
How my team is shaping up. Waddle is temporarily playing centrally.

Arrows! :lol:
 
Aye - miscounted there. 4 already have keepers - seven have entered bids in this round. So, one man still has no keeper/bid. And one very conspicuous keeper remains un-nominated.

That one man is bound to be a very, very, happy man. Unless someone wants two keepers, which is fecking stupid. Mind you, @Cutch did it once getting two Krauts when the only draft restriction was... nationalities. :wenger:

Err, how many rounds are there left? Some managers running a very thin squad right now.

It also has something to do with the 6 English players only in the first team rule.
