Next Draft - Ideas and Discussions

How about a draft where everyone gets to be at the top of the table and bottom of the table.

We start drafting both from the top and bottom.
Only European and Asian players allowed in one snake.
Only American and African players allowed in the other snake.
I'm not sure. It'll be complicated as the chains won't be in sync and you won't be able to plan as good which player will you pick from each pool? Say, the first chain can go faster and there'll be big gaps

We've been supposed to do a modern draft for about two years now mate ;). It always seems to be bypassed for something else.
:lol: I'll make sure we do after this one now.

Myself and @Indnyc will run this together.

Game Play Overview:


Draft criteria fluctuates between 'Chain' and 'No Mate'. Every turn mod randomly rolls a dice and chooses which criteria applies for that round.
  • Chain - Should have played at Club or NT with previous player picked by yourself.
  • No Mate - Should not have played at club or NT with any/all of previous player picked by yourselves.
* Only clubs in FIFA recognized leagues counted. Friendlies not considered as NT matches.

There will be no roll for the turn after every chain roll, so that managers can make a chain pick
Example: R1 (No Mate), R2 (No Mate), R3 (Chain), R4 (no rolls. continue the chain), R5 (No Mate), R6 (Chain) R7 (no rolls. continue the chain)....

Standard T&C:

S1 - All time draft. Block list as below.
S2 - Initial drafting of 12 players. Extra 2 players per Reinforcement Round.
S3 - 8 hrs per pick. Do not wait or provide extra time.
S4 - No change in picks after posting.
S5 - No substitutions. Tactical changes with in-field players only.
.
S6
- First 2 picks of losing team will not be available during reinforcements.
S7 - Open pool reinforcement. Undrafted players can be drafted now, subject to criteria/blocks. Will be decided by Dice Rolls too.

Match-Up's:

The match up's will be announced at end of Round 7. You'll know your opponent for R1 at beginning of R8, so you can start sabotaging each other.

Why the block list :(
 
We picked players that were high cost in the current draft. Is there a better way to block the Goats?

Maybe the drafters can submit two blocks each and that’s the list that is blocked?

It looks like a tough draft in terms of restrictions, why have the GOAT restrictions in the first place? If you have to block players just block the 1st tier GOATs.

E.g

Cristiano Ronaldo
Diego Maradona
De Stefano
Eusebio
Ferenc Puskas
Franco Baresi
Frank Rijkaard
Franz Beckenbauer
G. Muller
Gaetano Scirea
Garrincha
George Best
Johann Cruyff
Lionel Messi
Lothar Matthaus
Luis Ronaldo
Marco Van Basten
Michel Platini
Pele

I like that. Plus I would suggest to not have any pre-WW2 players blocked. They were shafted in the last draft because of the match footage rule and they are no big vote winners anyway. Give them a run-out.

The thing is any list is not definitive on the tiers. I am ok to reduce the number of blocks though.

The draft itself shouldn’t be too restrictive.. Planning nightmare for sure but expect teams to be filled with strong players
 
will create a thread for all touch compilations where we will have something like a database so we dont do double work and for all to get easier job to check players they are interested. Have most of the info(joga, harms, invictus) already but if i forgot someone just drop me a pm so i include your work as well.
Saying that, @Pat_Mustard send your links(youtube, daily etc.) :)

What software do you use to create all touch videos? I want to try my hand at it
