Manager draft

Balu said:
God, I hope people won't overcomplicate the whole performance level thing, that could turn the whole draft into an annoying nightmare. It is of some relevance, but most great players performed consistently well during their peaks no matter who the manager was.

For example, I wouldn't pick van der Sar as the goalkeeper if I picked Ancelotti as the manager, because his spell at Juve sucked, no two ways about it. Such obvious examples should count, but I really hope we won't go into extreme nitpicking.

Yeah a bit towards this. If a player was in his peak and your manager took over, then he should be rated highly as a player even if he didn't perform at a top level as he'd presumably keep his level, especially if he continued at a high level after leaving your manager/team.

Don't be anal about the peak/performance level. Some managers will have managed a player for 15 matches but it is okay, it is how this draft will work. Can't expect and judge three year peaks etc.

Especially considering national team managers will sometimes have played 8 matches or whatever with their team.
 
Hmmm. This really makes it very difficult. Especially when you consider there are certain players who have played under some managers but completely past their peak. Now, we managers would know about it. But would the scan voters? Also, are we going with the same format in voting like last time? Managers' vote is counted as two votes?

Yes, manager vote is counted as two. Hopefully we'll be able to make it as clear as possible at which stage in their career the player "played for you". Possibly age would be sufficient in the jpgs etc.
 
Shit, just realised.. so if my player has played under another manager - I'm fecked right? can't pick him..

What? If he played under your manager and you picked him, he is yours, doesn't matter if he played for a dozen another managers.

If anyone is chancing it, then it's easy enough for the opposing manager to highlight that in the thread. The people who vote are knowledgeable enough to make a sensible decision there.

I meant like if a certain player played for Lippi and someone picks him, can I still pick him for my manager?

You can pick anybody your manager managed, of course they will also want to pick this player but there is nothing making you incapable of picking him.

No, of course not. That would be boring.

Yeah that is what I initially thought, it is just someone made a comment about SAF - C. Ronaldo is contested and everyone else after that is an uncontested pick.. which surely unless it is a manager who has been picked twice, your picks will always be uncontested.

Wait, what? A player can only be picked once. If he played for three different managers who all got picked, the one, who picks said player first, got him and the other two miss out. Everything else would be silly.

I agree with you, annah seems to say otherwise. Can we have some clarification on this?

Pretty sure he just misunderstood your post, otherwise we could just post best of squads without doing a snake draft.

Eh? That won't make sense. It will be further more confusing. Imagine having Cristiano Ronaldo being picked four times. One under Fergie, one under Mourinho, one under Carlo and one under Pellegrini.

@DanNistelrooy let's get this wrapped up soon.
 
Of course a player can just be picked once! Some are uncontested because they played for SAF their entire careers, or they left to play for managers who'd never get picked.
 
Was going to go for Capello or Pep. Would love to go for the manager Annahnomoss hinted at earlier but don't have that great a knowledge of that era.

I will go for Ancelotti as well, apologies Jayvin.

Over to you @Annahnomoss
 
Some obvious managers left who could fill an eleven blindfolded. I'll not go for any of them and instead for Vanderlei Luxemburgo.

Haha no worries. I actually regret picking Carlo now, I'd completely forgotten about the player peaks part, which rules out an incredible number of stunningly good players Ancelotti managed :(

I was torn between 5 different managers and none of them is picked so far :lol:.

The Italian mob is equally split among 6 managers.
Raees will get the Tkik taka Galacticos!
Pep is the spanish/german hybrid, which leads to 2 on Lattek,

Paolo and Cutch would get mostly trouble free pick choices with LvG and SAF.
Click to expand...

TBH SAF is probably the only genuine trouble free pick in this draft so far, mines has been fecked with the Pep pick. Most of players I want in reinforcement round will already have been picked. There are 2 managers who really stand out in my opinion that haven't been picked and if I could go back, I'd change it.

too many Italian taken so far.

I was thinking of a German definitely being picked considering his record and the variety of clubs he has managed.
Also had in mind at least one other Dutch manager (maybe another two who were interesting)

And there is a Scotsman I would have loved to have someone try on this board. Absolutely begging to be taken. (Actually if we can have some as a special invitee to play the winning team with this manager, it would be a great spectacle)

That makes it a bit obvious doesn't it?

Anyway, welcome aboard assistant manager ;)
