You should play.. It’s almost like our fantasy league from last season.. Just with all time players
chop chop
I need to PM you 3 GK's?'
Also how do I pm someone on this site?
2 left but I'm going to sleep now.
Sorry for the delay, sent.
15 managers participating
Open for at least 1 more

So 23 squad players. If I only get one Gk for this round, I'll have a chance later on to catch up the required 3 Gk?
Choose "inbox" at top of these then "start a new conversation" with Pnut.
Wait, do we have 2 threads for this?
Worst mod e...
oh wait
oh wait
I can merge them if needed, but I need to know which one to keep.
I think people keep drafting until all have three goalies then move onto defenders.
Yep, as is explained in the opening post of the other thread for this draft. The two should really be merged since it merely increases confusion.
By the way, hasn't the deadline run out? How many are left and how do you plan to punish them?
They have to re-watch the Champions League final.Yep, as is explained in the opening post of the other thread for this draft. The two should really be merged since it merely increases confusion.

I could do without that and I was rooting for the team of our former coach
You've got to use some kind of a list. Perhaps a xtratime or something similar. Not for the ranking, which is shit, but for the clear cut position definitions — because there are many players on the verge of classic wingers and inside forwards; attacking midfielders and forwards etc.
Perhaps look through our older drafts — I think some of the auction ones had positional-based lists.
@P-Nut The Peaches and a GOAT draft split players on defenders, midfielder and forwards so you could use that
@Jim Beam left
So back to 14 teams then?
@harms can you merge them and keep this one please.
I set the deadline at 9pm tonight so 7 hours 23 mins left for Jim Beam

Ah feck you brits and your weird am/pm nonsense
I got all stressed out yesterday picking some crap half asleep because I thought I wouldn't have time this morning Regarding the actual league thread: there will be just one big thread, with updates/results - and no managerial input beyond a brief writeup + formation pic. Correct?
I presume managers can comment after the results of a round have been posted? Would be a bit boring otherwise.
To be clear, I'm 100% in favour of no manager input before/during a round.

Of course mate. Goes without saying any posts questioning the committee's wisdom would be dealt with point deductions. Other than that, feel free to post
Yeah I'd definitely hope results are discussed etc otherwise it will all be a bit pointless
Yes. Should be as unambiguous as possible (which is tough, not least when dealing with players who were top notch in more than one broad category).
But of course.
In fact, I'm counting on that - see my comment about Jose style self-sabotaging.

I like the basic format - in fact, I always hated having to go through those match thread debates, worst part of the drafts for me personally. Posting tenuous "evidence" of this or that, etc.
Debating as a neutral could be right entertaining, though.
Another thing: there will be a transfer window?
Have you decided on how that will play out?
PM battle for blocked players, sheep style?

Think we should be allowed maybe 3 transfers per window? And only trades between managers?
Yeah someone mentioned the peaches and goat draft. I'll take a look at that later today.
Yeah I just fancied trying something a bit different, as numbers seem to be dropping in normal drafts. Hopefully if this is a success we could run a bigger version to coincide with the league season next year.
Yeah pretty similar to the way we're doing the GLs at the moment, but with a max 3 turns and no reinforcements if you fail.
It'll be players on the block list
Can we do trades too? I think it would make things more interesting.
I'll see how I can fit it in
You wouldn't have to do anything really, just give the managers a few days to make some deals.
Might I suggest having both a league and knockout cup every season with price money rewards. Price money will vary on where you finish in each tournament.
That price money will be your transfer budget for the next season. Will obviously be uneven and might seem unfair but will have a real world feel to it.
Pnut can make sure that the price money amounts are not too unfairly far apart.

Can't wait to be the Huddersfield Town of drafters
Seriously though, why have the crappiest thing in football be part of a draft?- Status
