Next Draft - Ideas and Discussions

The idea behind blocking them is because they get enough coverage in other drafts.

The main reason for a modern draft is to pick good players who’ll never get picked otherwise

Fair enough, just floated an idea.
 
Modern Draft Rules

Standard T&C:


S1 - Players born on or after 1st Jan 1985 are eligible. Messi & Ronaldo blocked.
S2 - Maximum 3 players per league. Current club will determine the league
S3 - Initial drafting of 12 players. Extra 2 players per Reinforcement Round 1 in the final.
S4 - 8 hrs per pick. Do not wait or provide extra time.
S5 - No change in picks after posting.
S6 - No substitutions. Tactical changes with in-field players only.
S7 - Open pool reinforcement. Undrafted players can be drafted now.

Assistant/Co Managers:
In match thread, only one of the managers is allowed to post for the duration of the match. The other manager is restricted to 3 posts or less for the duration of match thread. Make your choice and make it clear on match thread on who will lead the discussions.

It's not one at at time. It's just one for the match.

Match submissions:
More of a request. Most managers have multiple days before their matches are due to be played. Please make your submission before and do not wait for match day to make your submission and avoid last minute delays.

I'm in for either draft but really do think we should run modern next. Been an age since we've had one

Yeah were're doing modern next mate, see above for draft rules. Also could do with input on whether to block Messi and Ronaldo.

How about if a manager pick Messi or Ronaldo they have to select 2 players from a south American league?

why not just 3 retired players, same limitation as the leagues.

Yeah block them, too far ahead of every other player eligible.

I'll sit out of this one. I'm still not free enough and I'm rubbish at rating some modern players.
 
:D

Edit: a modern draft is excellent but 1970 would have been perfect for me so next time BUT the draft is VERY refreshing so GREAT idea after all SO i will FOLLOW this draft FOR SURE.

You should play.
 
is this the first time in last year or so that we didnt have a full draft within a day or two? feck modern football :lol:
 
Yeah.. It’s never been so slow to fill up..
And this is when half the sign ups were copied were copied from the Road Trip one. :D

Tbh I am not the biggest fans of modern ones either, but this one would flush the pool. It's just that there's very little chance of learning something new or even selling your players much and swaying votes as everyone already has a set opinion on them.
 
Can we do it with 12 managers? Just give one bye in semifinal and everything else works as before

Would also allow for the pool to not be stretched until 32 Centerbacks are found who are better than Phil Jones
