Gaming FM2017 Football Legends - Classic Player Draft - S2 Holiday Updates

[harms]

I looked down at the next 26 picks and most had a 10, but I knew Moby would go for him. Would have loved to pair him up with Romario

My team from the first monopoly draft, where I had Zico-Romario up front with Finney on the right and Charlton/Brehme on the left
One of my favorites, and Zico-Romario partnership was the main reason

 

[harms]

I have a way of speeding up the last 5 or 10 picks of the managers which is what Macern did if it starts to go too slowly

If you do the same thing he did be prepared to want to break your keyboard!

He probably won't replace already picked players as losers put them higher on their lists, which was the main reason it was so messy

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

Think we should stick to the 4hr rule, which would hopefully encourage more managers leave picks if they are not going to be around, and the ones that are will keep it going quickly.

I have no problem with that. But I have to admit I can't keep track all the time to police that so I view it as a bit self-policing if that makes sense

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

I'd also do less picks at a time 2-4 at most which is easier to manage. So somewhere between a Sheep draft and Macern who ambitiously tried 10 picks at once.

My ideal date for finishing the draft BTW would be between Aug1-Aug14

Agree, just need to make all managers aware.

 

[P-Nut]

We should get the 4 hour rule started now I think. More managers than a normal draft and picking twice as many players means we probably should have half deadlines to make it last about the same as a normal draft.

If you're logging off for more than 4 hours just send a few picks to someone that's around.

I think we should wait until after round 11, so we all have a starting line-up

Bloody hell! PSG have made sure transfer prices ain't ever coming back down

It'll just take far too long. At this rate you're looking minimum 2 weeks till we're at that point. That takes us into August and Onenil wants it to be finished around then. A 4 hour deadline probably brings the first 11 down to a week and then we can see if we want to do it the way Onenil suggested.

Oh I just meant the drafting part finished between Aug1-14. Then I can have a full month to simulate

Nah, the quality all-round is fantastic, and you can always leave your shortlist with managers after you or onenil

I assumed that was on already.

 

[antohan]

No need for that. R1-3, max 4, are pretty crucial because you are nailing your colours but thereafter there's no justification for not knowing and sending 1 or 2 options in advance.

I agree with this.

 

[RedTiger]

Start the 4 hours now

 

[JB08]

Agreed.

Thought we did... Sunday? (Threadmarked)

It was but I was not able to keep track of it. We can now consider the "peer enforcement" period begun

Thats a good plan and we can make some changes to it as well. Instead of telling people who they need to replace in PM and triggering a chain reaction of replacements, just take 5/10 picks from everyone and in the end declare who got whom and rinse and repeat. Tracking replacement would be a huge headache otherwise.

 

[antohan]

How about we just don't take bloody ages? (Says he who is going to a 10-day industry event abroad)

Just leave picks and we are all okay !

If you PM your pick you get additional 4 hours....

If you PM your pick you get additional 4 hours....

If I PM this round pick, I get 8 hrs next round?

 

[Šjor Bepo]

no, if you PM your pick and that player is picked you get additional 4 hours that round.

You won't have any issues with me unless you get superquick in the two 17 hour flights.

It's not. If you leave your pick and it gets taken you default back to 8. What is nuts is having 8 hours to explore your bellybutton during the day.

In fairness RT just slipped it through with no fanfare. Quite miffed about that one, was hoping to give Cruyff a gung-ho outlet from the back that could actually defend properly.

@oneniltothearsenal can I be DoF? Or maybe we can finally do some crazy transfer player + cash deals?

I'd like to fulfill the team vision! (I know, probably just have to go and buy FM, download this and pregame edit it).

 

[Gio]

Bill Shankly?! Sacrilege.

Almost went for him and would have had I been a bit lower in the drafting order.

 

[BeforeKeanetherewasRobson]

It could be Passarella's brother? Dave Passarella.... useless at football but got free tickets for matches from his brother.
