RULES

Edited Rules:

* There are 16 members participating in this competition.
* The aim of the game is to select a team of 11 players born before the 5th Feb 1985
* The participants will each take turns to select one player in ascending order (Participant 1 will select first, followed by Participant 2, then Partipant 3 etc.).
* Once the first round of the draft is complete (all 16 participants have chosen a player), the second round begins. It operates the same as the first draft, except this time in descending order (Participant 16 picks first, Participant 15 picks second, etc.). This is to ensure that those towards the end of the list get fair picks.
* Once you have posted your selection for any particular round of the draft, it is up to you to PM the person who is next in line to inform them that they are now allowed to make their choice. Remember the participants on either side of you, as these are the only 2 participants you will have to PM for the duration of the competition.
* You have 12 hours to post your selection. If you cannot make your post within 12 hours, the draft continues on as normal and it is up to you to post your selection at your earliest convenience.
* When selecting a player, it is important to remember that you are only picking them on their current form and age. Its important to consider yourself as the owner/manager of a club and not pick players nearing the end of their careers only. A bit of youth wouldn't be remiss.
* When posting your selection, please post a picture of the player. You must also include an explanation of why you picked this player.
* You may pick any formation you choose, however a realistic formation is recommended as your team will be going up against another team from the competition and the rest of RedCafe will vote as to who they think would win in a match between the two.
* Once the draft is complete, a new thread will be started where each participant gets on final chance to post their entire team, their tactics, why their team should win etc.
* The winner of a match up can pick a player from the losing team
 
Me in, as the winner of the previous "Younger than Messi Draft"... ;)
 
I'll do it. This time I promise not to pick Chris Wood (although he has scored 5 goals in 7 league games this season. Take that, unbelievers!)
 
Only 3 people needed more. Anyone decided on what type of players will be allowed here.

Just a few suggestions:

1. Older than Cristiano Ronaldo (current players),
2. Non-European,
3. Non-CL winners,
4. Non-PL winners all time PL,
 
How about only players that play in Ligue 1, Bundesliga and Serie A.

Or any other league apart from Premier League and La liga
 
I was thinking about players between 27 and 35. 2 more players needed.
 
I think the criteria should be something simple like plays or dosnt play in a certain league and/or the players age (older than messi and no one can pick ronaldo)

Older than Ronaldo will be easier...
 
Arjwiz has clarified that he didn't wanted to play. So there are still 2 players left. The criteria will be players OLDER THAN RONALDO

in a third fricken division. And u picked Woods so early in the game , the likes of Busquets and Pique were still available.
 
Pique was too old for that draft
I got biscuits in the middle of the second round

Edit: Under the assumption we are having assistant managers again I am taking appliacations via pm if anyone is interested :)
 
i said the likes of. i didnt mean those 2 in particular. just players of their quality. minkaro took that semi-professional player as his 3rd pick.

Wait, there's a league between the Premiership and Championship now?

I'm going to pick Kanu first in this one, just to annoy you :mad:

I see now he got loaned to Championship this year. good for a guy a huge step in his 'successful' career...

You can go to your local pub as ask if anyone is playing in sunday league and pick that guy , wont do any worse than Chris feckin Woods. But you got your priorities wrong, you lack the ambition and determination to win fantasy draft game. you shouldnt even start with it

He's 19 :lol:

Wasn't there a United player who got loaned to a Championship team at around 19? Tom something? Tom Wisely? Tom Intelligently?

Nah.

Nah.

Good luck to the lad if he can progress like Tom did, but even if he does. It gives no excuse for a moment of madness to pick him last year in draft based on CURRENT ability and not potential.

Current players older than Ronaldo or just an all time draft without Messi or Ronaldo?

Does that mean players born before February 5th 1985 or the year 1985?
 
Born before 5th Feb 1985
 
Val, are you playing?

nah too much plotting and conspiring behind the scenes for my liking in these games. And voters will punish you for giving your views on the game open and honest, if they dont like what you say. and not to mention you got to come up with all those different twists on matchdays to keep it all entertaining for others. Its demanding. so based on all that, i rather follow as a neutral this time and enjoy the drama created by others rather than producing it myself.
