Next Draft - Ideas and Discussions

UNO Draft


Type of Cards
Reverse - self explanatory, draft goes back so a manager that picked before you picks again

Skip - skipping a manager that is after you

Draw 2 - remove a player from the team that is after you, if that player also has a "draw" card then he doesnt lose anyone. He can then pick from the color of his draw card and the next guy loses one player

Draw 4 change color - you can pick from the GOAT list and pick a "color" for the next manager

Change color - you can pick any player that you want and a guy after you has to continue in that "color"

4 colors - Europe, Rest of the World, South America, UK + Ireland

You can change the color if you have the card of the same number as the most recent card, if thats the case you can pick any teammate of previously picked player.

Example
gio - 4 red(europe) - Beckenbauer
harms - 4 green(south america) - Pele

If you cant find a teammate you can pick a player from your color that never won a league.(open for a change)

Rules
Everyone will be dealt 7 cards in the beginning(feck knows how).
You must play every card that you can(no stacking cards and not playing the ones you dont like), if you dont have a card to play you pick cards from the deck until you get one that you can play.
When you play all your cards you just pick from the deck(same as the above) until you get a card you can play so in theory you can play with no cards at some point.

Draft rules
13 players, 1 sub(outfield player) must play in the second round.
When you get to 13 players you are out and you wait until everyone finish. Last player will play against the house.
RR - feck knows but we will find a way if there is any interest in this.

GOAT List
Probably top 5 per position or something like that, nothing extensive.


Promising concept.. Just to add some more thoughts to it to conceptually play it out

Split the available players into the 4 colors

Red - Europe

Green - South America

Blue - UK and Ireland

Yellow - Rest of the world


Every manager is given 17 cards. 4 Red; 4 Green; 4 Blue; 1 Yellow

Each color card will be shuffled and numbered from 1 to 8 (i.e. R1; G3; B8 etc.)

Additionally you are given the below 4 speciality cards which are colorless and can be played anytime

  • Draw 2 - Next manager in the chain will have to pick 1 card from the pile (bank/moderator manages this) and return a card back of a different color. So for example if you pick a card, moderator gives you a Green card you have to return either a Red, Blue, or Yellow card
  • Skip - Skip the turn of the next manager.
  • Reverse - Reverse the order of the draft
  • Change color - Playable along with any of your other color cards when you don’t have a card of the current color on the board. For example, if we are playing Reds and you don’t have Red you play the color change card along with your choice of color
The draft moderator starts the game saying which color is on the board. Assume the color on the board is Green

Manager 1 can play any
green card. Say he plays G8. Manager 2 can then play either any Green card or a different color as long he has the same number i.e. B8 or R8. Different managers will have the same card because of the smaller numbering; the idea is to make it easier to switch colors in between the game.

If you run out of speciality cards and don’t have the relevant color card, you pick from the pile until you get the relevant color card or of course the color on the board changes

Once you have picked your 13 players you are done and out of the game. Other managers will continue to pick until all managers have 13 players.

Will need to think of something for reinforcement round. Thoughts?

@Indnyc cheers for that helps get to grips massively. However, I'd keep it to continents for the colours, for the reason of building to a formation or theme it's impossible if you end up with 5 strikers and 2 defenders with 6 midfielders or whatever

Yeah that’s fair. I’ll edit my post

Decent looks like it should work now. Need something concrete on how to define continents etc though as if it's a grey area every single time there will be players that get debated.

We could define it by the country they had their first cap for and define the colours as follows:

Red - Country is/was a member of Uefa that is not eligible for blue.

Green - Country is/was a member of Conmebol.

Blue - Country is Englnd, Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland or the Republic of ireland

Yellow - Country isn't a member of either Uefa or Conmebol.

Yeah that seems to work, no open to interpretation either.

thats what i had in mind, to avoid controversy id also have the first cap rule so guys like Thuram and co. are not an issue.

id like it but i cant run it and play in the same time and its potentially a lot of work with tracking cards, dealing them often etc. so cant really ask someone to do all that :D

You play.. This was your idea.. I’ll run it

Yes mate.

For some reasons I don’t get alerts in draft forum, I missed lots of conversation I had to catch up on in the current draft threads too.
