Gaming FM 17 Club Draft | Final update is out
- Thread starter Macern
- Start date
Yep, that's why you should plan ahead and calculate the risk of not prioritizing your crucial picks
Longest draft ever. 
maybe the snake draft was faster? 
Has only been 24 hours since we started with the PMs. If this round is finished within the next couple of hours then we've drafted 5 times faster than the original method
5x slowermaybe the snake draft was faster?
5x the disappointment
I just know the last tier 1 pick is going to push everyone into replacements and then we go around again.
Definitely. I'm confident the next round will go a lot smoother though since 200 players will already have been drafted by then.
Yup.
I'm finding this draft really fun. I knew I needed a keeper but I also needed a striker.
De Gea is an obvious choice of candidates left while Morata was a bit more obscure.
I will say though, I was watching the draft intently hoping he wasn't picked
I'm very ambivalent about this. It's kind of enjoyable but at the same time exhausting. Kind of like sex with someone who just lies there.Yup.

So for instance I pick Messi as my #1, Tor Hogne Aarøy as my #2 and Richard Eckersley as #3. Damien has already picked Aarøy as his #1 so I wont get him. Instead of me filling out my #2 slot, Eckersley moves up to that slot and I have to fill in 3,4,5?
I like that idea, decreases the amount of replacements having to be made.
No the others don't move up they stay were they are. Just that when he replaces his number 2 it becomes number 6 instead
Oh okay. Yeah that sounds decent. Will try that out next round unless people are against it.
It's the same across the board just means you have to be more tactical with you picks.
The way it's done at the moment I could go for the 5 biggest players available with no repercussions.
That's true. I don't really mind how it's done. Up to you guys.
Must be said though that I think people should be allowed to make attempts for the players they really want without having to think about whether they might have been picked or not. It's so random who gets picked and who doesn't. There's a player in the 4th tier who is young and one of the best in his position (a position people have been struggling to find players for), while there are several players on higher tires who are way more average.
The Caf evidently has excellent taste in CBs, got none of my original choices and 1 replacement and 3 failed ones since
Ya'll should have been as simple as me!
That's all part of the risk though. You could miss out on a higher target because you thought they'd be gone when in reality they haven't. Adds a degree of tactical picking that isn't there at the moment.
Say I went...
Messi
Ronaldo
Neymar
Griezmann
Martial
I could do that knowing if my picks mess up I could just pick another at the same tier.
With the other one we're considering I'd have to be smarter about it or risk having my picks taking less preference over others who have picked smarter and more realistically.

I had to replace 2 of my cb picks.
I'm about 3 more failed choices away from bringing a Shawcross-Jagielka partnership together to kick lumps out of the best assembled attacks of all time
Lets hope my backup CBs I wan't aren't taken :P
My PM list reads like Father Ted:
@Macern how far away are we from being done?
RMW has to fill his last slot but he's actively working on it. Other than that, Party Boy still needs to fill his #1 and #3 slot
Ah ok I'm off to rugby now anyways hopefully this is done when I get back lol
I prefer this method and I'd say it's more tactical.
Lets say I made the CB my priority and I wanted Varane so I put him first and my list looked like this:
1. Varane
2. Nainggolan
3. De Gea
4. Suarez
5. Bale
If somebody else had Varane first and I missed out on him, my next CB pick would end up number 6. Problem with that is, I could miss out on 8 or 9 defenders even though I tactically prioritised the CB position out of my picks

So he could end up triggering loads more replacements
Holy feck just realized there's one absolute world class player who isn't picked. He's quite old though but still. World class imo. And in a position people are struggling to find solutions for
Fixed
I think I know who this is
@Party Boy be a nice lad and pick someone no one wants I hear crouchie is available
I hear crouchie is availablePM me
Woo only @Party Boy left
How many players each are we drafting in total
We settled on Hiroshima Twinkie in the end.
25
Get a fecking move on then or we won't be finished until Liverpool next time win the league.
Waiting for MF
