Next Draft - Ideas and Discussions

A few drafts ago, I did suggest an idea which I think was never played here. Didn't get much traction but was something like this.

Would work for an all time context while blocking lots of players on the way.

Wud work only for 16 teams, but from R2 onwards , every players gets to make 1 pick for himself and 1 block pick.
Something like below

1. Maradona
2. Pele
3. Cryuff
.
.
.
14. 1. Van Basten 2. Zico (block Zidane)
15. 1. Garrincha 2. Faachetti (block Carlos)
16. 1. Matthaus 2. Baresi (block Scirea)
That's an interesting idea.
 
Well, I'd say a top notch CB pairing at pick 32/33 is as good as having Maradona in a draft where everyone would get on average 4 of the elite players of all time.

I think Seria a draft pretty much proved that getting 2 defensive GOATs is not going to balance the uber attacking GOAT you can pick upfront.
 
Think we should finalize the draft format and number on managers today so we can start tomorrow? Think the Serie A draft final is today

@Edgar Allan Pillow since you are running the draft it should be your call on the number of people and format.
 
A reserve reserve auction Draft perhaps. $100m for Shaun Wright Phillips. :wenger:
Yeah my point wasn't so much about the pool as clearly there is plenty of appetite for a big feck off GOATfest. But perhaps, as you were hinting at, some interesting twist/restriction to the picking process or match dynamics.
 
Let's get this show on the road.
 
What you'll see new is that:

- Many players will have minimum buy values, so you can't stack GOATs.
- Players trade between managers is permitted within rules.
- You can bid higher than available cash, but harsher penalty if you can't settle.

Sounds interesting and fits the Auction theme. Call the minimum values though reserve prices like in normal auctions. Big question though is will it be 16 teams or 230 something?
 
List of people for the auction draft. I gave my spot to @Oaencha . Crappy and I are tag teaming
  1. 2mufc0
  2. Oaencha
  3. Enigma
  4. MJJ

  6. Idmanager
  7. Lord Sinister
  8. Arbitrium
  9. Moby
  10. Pat Mustard
  11. OneNil
  12. Sjor/TRoss

Welcome to the Auction-Trade Madness Draft!

Standard T&C:

S.1 - All time draft.

S.2
- No substitutions. Tactical changes with in-field players only.

S.3
- Open pool reinforcement. Undrafted players can be drafted now.

S.5 - Post deletions are banned in this thread. Irrespective of whether it has a bid or not, no posts can be deleted.

Bid Process:

B.1 - Once posted, it's final. No edits / change to bids (player or value) permitted. No deletions or revoking your bids either.

B.2 - Starting funds: $600m for a minimum 12 player team. Unused funds from rounds will be carried over to next round. (See R.2 below)

B.3 - Upbids only in multiples of $10m. $10m minimum upbid. During final 3 hrs of the bid, up bids of minimum $20m only.

B.4 - Bids get finalized after 12hrs of no up-bids.

B.5 - Bid format "dd/mmm - hh:mm - Player Name - Manager Name - $value" (e.g. 17/Feb - 23:14 - Djemba Djemba - EAP - $100m). 24h time format. CET timezone only (GMT +1hr)

B.6 - For players in list, you can only start off with the listed bid value. If not in list minimum starting bid value is $20m.

B.7 - Total bid values can be higher than available funds. But if you can't settle at end, draft mod will mandate players sold to bank to get manager back in funds. Also violating manager will start with a 2 vote deficit in his coming match.


Trade Process:

Trading allowed between managers

T.1 - Players can only be sold or traded for profit. i.e. value higher than they were bought.

T. 2 - One for two only. i.e. Player A = Player B + Player C (or) Player A = Player B + Cash. Value of Player B + Player C or value of Player B + Cash must be higher than value of Player A.

T.3 - Players can be sold back to the bank at discount (150 = 120 | 100 = 80 | 80 = 60 | 50 = 30 | 30 = 20 ).

T.4 - Players not in minimum value list but who were in the Playing XI for the immediate previous round can be sold to bank for $10m.

Reinforcements:

R.1: Extra 1 player per Reinforcement Round. (B.6 above also applies here)

R.2 - No extra funds for reinforcements. You should sell or trade for funds to add to whatever you carried over.

The values allotted to players are arbitrary and not purely based on their talent. Popularly picked in demand players have higher values than some not so popular but more talented players. They are also tweaked to encourage or discourage bidding.

i thought thats the case but still, there are 2 names in 100M pool that should go to 150M based on popularity in drafts. But im aware its a crappy job to do this type of list and there will always be someone that wont agree with you so id just say, good job Edgar :)
 
Good stuff Edgar.. the rules look scary as hell though, it is going to be madness indeed!
 
Luiz Ronaldo at 100m is a joke IMHO. In caf drafts he is the a better vote winner than C.Ron, Messi, Cryuff, Eusebio etc. Only Maradona and Pele are better vote winners than him.
 
- I am also against 10m minimum increment since it significantly favors those who can log in at the right time and nominate player at his base price. At least for the first 4 hours of the nomination, the increment should be 5m.

- Finalizing bid after 12 hours also seems wrong. Past experience in auction drafts suggested 16-24 hours is fine. Generally auction drafts end way sooner that snake ones, so time should not be an issue.

I remember 12 hours being used. Think it's enough. In snake drafts you have 8 hours window, so you are expected to be online inside that timeframe, here it is 12.
 
For the player trading on the reinforcement round, it's only between the advanced teams, right?

Fair point. Tweaked.

Trading is going to make this very messy IMO. At least 3 bust ups during the draft I am betting at.

It's just an experiment. Spectacular meltdowns are fun to watch anyway!
 
List looks perfect now! Well done and I appreciate all the hard work to put this together.
 
And while we are at this I may try to go full Blatter and offer some votes for sale. $30m to bank for every vote. Sign up here. Not really!

I'll play with no team and 20 votes. Hopefully not many bother voting :lol:
