Hold on. I'm tweaking the format a bit.
Had some time at hand and here is an alternate version:
The Snakes and Ladder RTS draft!
Roll the dice and move along the board. Snakes (Red down arrows) bring you down and Ladders (Green up arrows) take get you high!
Standard T&C:
S1 - All time snake draft
S2 - Initial drafting of 14 players. Extra 2 players per Reinforcement Round. 1 in the final.
S3 - 6 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 - Open pool reinforcement. Undrafted players can be drafted now.
S7 - Pick times will be recorded. Lowest time wins in case of draws. PM picks are default 10 minutes
Real Time Strategy:
- Match-up's will be made before start of drafting for every round.
- All managers have below set of cards to play.

In yet again
snakes and ladders 
In
@Edgar Allan Pillow can we put in request for our first round opponents instead of a random draw? 
Looks crazy, I love it. In for whatever weird draft we choose.
I am also interested in @Edgar Allan Pillow draft idea.
What happens if we are at 68 and roll a 6 or something?
Can we say the list of drafters is done ?
Or should we continue the STUPID tradition to re-subscribe a list?

Why is the picking time reduced to 6 hours? Keep it as 8.
Reduce it to 4
Always love when you come up with these.Had some time at hand and here is an alternate version:

Definitely in.It'd be better if I had 4 easy and 4 hard criterias in addition to above. Suggest some please!
Also start nominating some legacy players in Forwards, Midfielder and Defender positions.

Just realized that I've never played a Monopoly draft myself
Was going to say that, with regards to the criteria its built at the moment to land on the tougher criteria far more often.
That's intentional. This will not be a GOAT fest. You have 3 extra snakes that tilt this slightly to the harder categories. And it's not really hard, just push towards the lesser good players.
And Reinforcements may not make the team stronger. I've made team size bigger to balance it .
I count 8 negative moves and 2 positives. Due to not all the ladders actually being a positive
Also as for legacy players, are we going down the route of them actually being playable players or sheep type players?
No idea what’s going on but I’m in.
I'm not sure I have the time for more than an AM to be honest as the next few weeks
You want to join as an AM with me?
I'm up for that! This draft looks fun

I think every criteria is good except for that "2nd division title one". Maybe I am incorrect, but the pool of good players there should be really small and some managers are bound to get destroyed by landing there like 6 times in the draft, especially with the manipulating of rolls. Other suggestions:
1) Won the Europa League / Uefa Cup with a non-Italian side
2) Foreign player who won PL, Bundesliga or Ligue 1 (outside of UK counts as foreigners for PL).
Some suggestions for legacy players:
Montella
Inzaghi
Vava
Andy Cole
Peyroteo
Leonardo
Futre
Ginola
Ferrari
L. Sanchez
Tevez

Nah, if we replace that(which i also wouldnt mind) it should be something fun to research like footballers on motorcycles, footballers with moustaches, low socks etc. something of that mould. Nutmeg kings would be fun i guess where you have to provide a video proof, almost a free pick in modern era but would be fun to research in older ones so it covers both basis.
@Edgar Allan Pillow
Thanks for adding but I'd prefer being an AM in case anyone is looking for one. Removed myself from the list.

My idea's for possible criteria are as follows:
Possible Easy Criteria
- Pick a player who has played in 3 of the following: Premier League (or First Diviision up to 1991/92); Bundesliga; Serie A; La Liga
- Pick someone who has been sent off at a world cup
- Pick someone who has never played for aa club that has won the European Cup, Champions League or Copa Libertadores
- Pick someone whose last name starts with a different letter than the last name of anyone else currently on your team
- Pick someone who has managed a player on your team
- Pick someone who has the most caps for their country
- Pick someoene who has spent all of their career at English clubs at Arsenal, Leeds, Liverpool and/or Manchester City
Possible Hard Criteria
- Pick someone who has played under the same manager at 3 or more different clubs
- Pick someone who has scored an own goal at the world cup
- Pick someone who has the same last name as someone who is already in your team
- Pick someone who has at least 1 cap for a country that has never reached the world cup
- Pick someone with the same number of caps as someone on your team
- Pick a teammate of a Ballon d'Or winner who has never received a Ballon d'Or vote
- Pick someone who has received exactly 1 Ballon d'Or vote in any year of your choice
@Edgar Allan Pillow we should try adding something with Copa America.. Players who have won Copa America but no WC.. Those players always seem to go under the radar a bit
Libertadores winners as a hard criteria? Perhaps it's a bit too easy to be a hard one, but most of the standouts will be soon picked in different squares.
Maybe.. I remember in the sheep draft there was a criteria for Copa America semi finalists which was pretty difficult
