We have way out of it and we had it in almost all the choices previously made. We are not starting the chain from another point, its too complicated anyway, like who would get to pick the first player and what if we get in the same situation again. We have to work our way out of here and take a few hits, thats the point of the draft and that is why we have 14 players to draft.
Dominoes draft
- Thread starter Tuppet
- Start date
I'll just make a pick and if Tuppet wants to overturn it later then that's fine. I don't have any proof of them actually being on the pitch together, but they are listed in the same squad for a season.
Raymond Braine.

I was joking about the played together part by the way @Šjor Bepo.
It’s ridiculous enough to go through all these players from the early 30s.

Just link where they are listed in the same squad. Thats good enough for pre war players.
good decision, can you respond to "my" issue? What when we cant find or there isnt proof of players actually playing together?
edit: just saw the post above.
That’s a little harsh. Me and P-nut are bottom of the list and had to wait patiently while the first choice players got picked. Why were we supposed to sacrifice a pick only for the better players to come into circulation again and then wait another 14-15 picks for our next turn?
Dude, change it please.
With Kaloscay, we have a way out. With Braine, probably not.
I'd argue it is against the spirit of the draft to reset as soon as you run into trouble. At some point you have to bite the bullet and start leading everyone into useful territory.
Or not.
That's ruled out for NT games, the quoted game is a club game.
It's pretty damn obvious their only listed goalie would have been on the pitch with the evident star player in the side.
I spent about 5mins and found a way out. Will take a few picks, mind.
Shhhhh...
ay, second link was for CEIC so i just assumed the first one was for it as well, should try to read first and post second
It isn't a dead end.
I completely agree with you. There is no real incentive for you to sacrifice your pick just to get the chain on a GOAT path for players picking a few picks after you. I just mentioned you two because the chain was never really a dead end.
You have to be positive. If you take all the super mega stars of the 20s and 30s. Then you will naturally look at the 40s and so on
Nah, I would have done the same as you and avoided the link to Sarosi. Don't like the taste of lead.Imagine if it was you who had to do that.
Can't.
Mate, bruh, dude when you run your evil drafts you are:
But when you play in a draft you are:
Braine leads us into Belgium 1940’s and from there I am sure we can find an escape route
Couldn't really pass on the rare opportunity of pairing Platini with Muller on steroids.
Perfect tactical fit @Šjor Bepo

Just looking out for you guys. I really was fighting for you guys to get good picks. Nothing selfish in that, right?
EAP in this draft, it's also "I took a player I didn't want"
Surprising that the other @Joga Bonito also picks and writes a post on Kalle!
Well just like me to skip Schuster, Brehme and Breitner eh?
Braine actually links to one of the best players in the world at the time. (Also picked in previous drafts).
That's not harsh - it's the idea behind the draft. You have to compromise, with yourself and others, and think at every pick whenever to pick the best available player or a player who keeps the pool better.
Why do you suggest names?
It's a competition, not a brainstorming collective session.

Even if I theoretically decided to do that then there’s every chance it will end up in 1890s Asia when it comes back to me. All I would be doing is making the pool better for everyone else.
I will need some time. Likely won't pick until the next 5 hours or so
Should apply to all not one or two - the game was made clear when a few already intentionally went towards blind alleys and not what was suitable for the entire draft.
You're all going to hate me when it gets to me and I've no idea what link to make to get us out of it and end up throwing us further back.
Literally how some of you can see what links take us away from this is madness.

Worldfootball.net and start mining from your player is all I do and its not really hard to see the links.
If Moby picked Kaloscay > Sarosi > Czibor > Luisito Suarez and then on to Spain/Barca!
Suarez has been already picked tho. That's what got us here.
That makes no sense though.
Why would Moby pick an absolute sheep for the sole purpose of giving the next couple of players access to a superb pool of players?
It moves the chain to a better pool which fits all at the end.
Hardly Moby will field Braine in his starting lineup next to Platini at the end of the draft. Since Hanappi everyone is picking useless players(or in our case with Edgar players who are historically great but we already have players in their position) for their teams as even in pick 13-14 they could easily get a better player if it is modern era.
I'm against starting over the chain as it defies the purpose of the draft, the exit is really easy - just pick younger players than the one picked before or players who played for multiple clubs, especially at the end of their career. Yes, you'll take a hit for a pick or two but there are 14 picks in total so there will be reserves either way.
Expecting someone to fix the mess at the other end makes no sense as for 10-15 picks we've moved from Dienst to Klenovec
If we're purposely trying not to open up the pool I could've easily picked Alfréd Schaffer for example who played with Sindelar and send us to the 10's..
Still Barca of 50s is better than where we are now....Suarez has been already picked tho. That's what got us here.
