The drafting strategies will be a very interesting, however managers will not have lots of flexibility to build a team. The breaks do help a bit. Hmmm...
Next Draft - Ideas and Discussions
- Thread starter Edgar Allan Pillow
- Start date
@crappycraperson I'm in with the concept. Can you post the pick order?
And please make it a career peak. WC peaks will be annoying.

Why would you do that in WC draft?
Oh sorry, all WC peak...not that specific WC we chose them from, I mean.Why would you do that in WC draft?
Blame the beer.
im the opposite, id rather have specific WC peaks....not that it matters going by previous experience but still, its more fun to build that way.
Any traction for each managers first world cup they will be picking from to be done secretively?
Means bottom of the order can't just cherry pick a world cup once it gets to them.

Why not? Top order gets to Cherry pick their cups.
But yeah, I agree doing it via PM makes more sense.
Don't like the PM idea, gives too much advantage to managers in top half.
How? It's as much as a mystery to everyone.
Not my draft, but I think if you’re rationing World Cups then it makes sense to have specific WC peaks and should make squad building more of a strategic challenge.
I'm not in it but don't see why anyone wouldn't want a specific WC peak either. Otherwise, apart from a handful of notable exceptions, it's just a draft of footballers (who happened to play in a WC). I can think of loads of players who had good careers but not good WCs.
Common courtesy to the forum so that it won't become a draftcafe
We can ignore threads now though.
Can we keep the suspense building with a pick order?
I think performance criteria should be clearly defined.
First - is it only games in the World Cups that count. I think the answer here has to be YES otherwise its just an all-time draft. Only WC Final performances count.
Then, it has to be set up as
A) total career WC performances count
B) only WC performances from one single Cup count
C) only the WC performance from the Cup year they are selected for count
Also for Pick Chain,
Does 2014 loop around to 1930? I personally think it should

I'd agree with the looping round. No point forcing a break on people that shouldn't have to.
I don't quite get point B though? Surely it'd have to be from the world cup you picked if you're going to limit to a single WC?
I'm too late for the party, would have loved playing this.
I missed the boat on it as well, up for an AM role if somebody would like to team up.
I've got a feeling I'm going to be on holiday for part of this so happy to take someone on with me.
@The Red Viper was the first to ask I think?

id be up for a holiday, where we going?
count me in for italy, we arrange everything via pm
You can't travel to Italy during a WC draft. They did not qualify.
Just noticed you're not on the list want to get the dream team back together?
I assumed it was like that, its pointless otherwise. Also think we should start from day 1 so first pick starts with WC 1930
Maybe the next one mate, as I'm a bit swarmed with work currently and can't even catch up with the current one.
Think @The Red Viper was definitely interested so you lads can team up
That'd mean everyone following each other round the world cups though. Everyone has to choose their own starting position don't they?
@Skizzo and/or @Pat_Mustard interested in getting E/S/P together?
dont know, i thought we all follow the same chain
No I think each manager picks a world cup they want to start at and then has to pick through the world cups in order. They are each allowed 2 breaks though to reset where they are picking from.
thats what happens when you just fly over the OP
if we are picking our own path id remove breaks or at least just break it down to one.Sorry lads, I have to give this a pass.
thats what happens when you just fly over the OP
Yeah i am with this.. I feel if we are going to choose our own path then people have enough time to research and should not require breaks
Certainly. I wouldn’t have voted for you anyway, so this way you save yourself a vote against.
Anyone else want to be my am
Yeah. You're better inside pissing out.
