Chain Draft (Main Thread)

I don't get why you excluded UEFA Cup/Cup winner's cup/domestic cups and all the Southamerican continental tournaments though? What's the reasoning behind this? Those are all proper official tournaments. It's a bit silly that Serie A players from the 80's who didn't play in the European Cup have to play in 50% of their 30 league games to count. Today you have 38 league games and four clubs with additional 8-13 CL games every year in all the top leagues. That's so much more. It makes no sense to me.

I wanted to exclude pre-season, charity shield etc. I just did not want to start list all possible tournos here. Since the main league matches were less in countries, I offered to bring down the criteria to 10 games, which again got negative feedback.

What have pre-season nonsense games like charity shield to do with it? At least allow all official continental tournaments and not just the European Cup/CL. Don't get me wrong, I know how hard it is to define the rules and manage a crazy draft like that and I appreciate the work you put in. But I really think you made a bit of a mess out of that one rule by overcomplicating it.
 
What? You're missing the point spectacularly as per usual.

Showcase old time legends? You're running an all time draft, you bleedin' muppet.
Can we rename this The Echo Draft thread? There's a two-day delay between me "being bossy" and others jumping at the exact same thing!

It's a bit complicated when you're doing an all time draft, comprising different eras and different federations. Which is why you need to take your time to establish the rules before you jump into it.

@berbasloth4
 
The exact same chain I mapped out when I tried to establish a chain starting with Charlton. Mine went to shite after any fourth pick I tried though so I'm interested to see what you've got up your sleeve.

i was able to put a couple of good chains together obviously going to be too good too be true
 
Well, sort of banked on Nesta even though deep within i knew Tuppet was taking him. I'm going to eat then get to work. I have 4-5 players in mind so this might take a while. Just giving heads up.

It doesn't seem to register, though.

The junkies are only interested in some kind of fix. They don't care about logic. They just want something running, no matter what it is. And in that sense, this ain't bad.

They'd die if they got north of fifty percent. That's what junkies do.

Anyway, do the bamboozle draft. Until that, this scene is dead for me.

Nothing new for the actual matches either, I see.

Good luck and fair fecks to all, but I'm out.

Bamboozle draft? Is that the legendary draft anto was gonig to run before he got pissed off in the auction draft?
 
You have a way out, right?

dont think there will ever be a situation where is a no way out....i can get out of my mess but i just want to be sure what are the rules, because if i can use out of jail card and i dont and go on weaker path and then someone else use it i would be pissed.

It's a bit complex.

Some other manager or a neutral will review to make sure you are at a dead end. They will also look at possibility of a low quality pick that may lead you back to better pick route. If none are available, then we'll look at giving you the NT card option earlier. If even that doesn't work, you can nominate a position and I'll arrange for a short list (3-5) legacy players, one of them you can choose. Club link continues from then. The legacy players will rarely be from a Top 4 club or have juciy links, but will give you a better way out that you were before.
