Next Draft - Ideas and Discussions

managers pick their own pool in secret


  • 4 choose a pool of pčayers that played under 2 managers(lets say ten hag and avram grant)
  • 4 choose 2 clubs
  • 4 choose 2 countries
  • 4 choose 2 decades(think we moved to just one decade as the pool was too good), so lets say players that plsyed in 80s and 90s
in this i would add another criteria for everyone so in the end you need to pick a player from your pool you choosed + he needs to fit the group chain.

Decades will likely be worse in this one as say someone picks Player A that retired in 81 and you've only got the 00s your basically down to whoever was coming through at the time the other guy retired, and then also had a long career.

the group chain is only league based....

used messi example so will continue with him, if you choose the peak that has psg and miami and you also have 80s criteria you can pick anyone that played in ligue 1 and mls in the 80s

- So those Pools are separate criteria, can be overlapped, or has to be all fullfilled?
- Also the "4" is the number of managers or players? Thanks, Sjor.

4 is number of managers, you will choose(or will be given on random) one of those 4 criterias and then you choose within what you want(do you want pep and mitchells or pulis and big sam)
 
if we play thst will have to think what to do with managers as i assume a lot wont be able to follow league criteria
 
or just to simplify and do a reserve 4way with all choosen stuff(managers, clubs, decades, countries) blocked
 
@Šjor Bepo Fire-up the 4 way draft thread and see how many want to play.

original chain idea wont work with the managers sadly, maybe if we add the pool of non CL/Lib/WC/Copa/Euro winners as the pool for the ones that dont have the league within their own pool?

another option is reserve 4way with all options choosen in previous draft blocked

I'm not sure how balanced that would be but could work.
 
Here's an idea.

I will create a 12 x 16 table at the start of the draft, which will be fully filled with 192 unique football clubs (ideally the greatest 192 clubs of all time).

The draft will follow a snake style. When it's your turn, you can pick any available club slot and fill in your name and player choice in the box.

The player's peak performance at that club will be what counts in the games.

In. I also have some idea's for a sheep draft

I have a thought, how about we let the participants choose any club as long as that club hasn't been chosen previously instead of having a preset list of clubs.
 
Thinking of this idea which would be interesting, i will create 16 different criteria, the criteria will be randomized so everyone get's a new one every round (you won't get the same criteria 2 times in a row), will be snake order drafting. Will make the criteria fun and interesting not too research heavy.
 
in as long as greek league is one of the criterias:smirk:
 
Just had a thought for a draft concept which is a sheep draft where everyone has a separate criteria each round assigned at random and given out by private message (the criteria being publicly revealed when the results are announced at the end of each round).

Also could do it where all the categories are revealed at the start of the round but not which player has which category. If that was done, could also have players submit 1 player to block (can meet any of the categories) but if the same player is blocked more than once the block is cancelled and the player is still available (and if we wanted to e particularly tough, successfully blocked players could be added to the banned list). This block mechanic might be interesting in a regular sheep draft as well.

I've noticed a lot of the people don't want to play because of research heavy /restrictive drafts, let's park this idea Michael maybe for the next one (we've done plenty of sheep drafts too), would like to run this criteria draft next as a bit of a break from last one which was pretty restrictive too.

fire up the new draft
 
Had this idea while ago but I'm going to start making a database of all players that won a draft and how many times, maybe after the next one in a couple of months we can do a draft of players that never won one.

Around 5 years ago we had the Virgin draft. These two posts may be a good place to start:

@prolifik and myself thinking about running The Wire Draft, tv show drafts went spectacular so far with fools and horses and seinfeld already done and wire has a lot of potential!
 
@prolifik and myself thinking about running The Wire Draft, tv show drafts went spectacular so far with fools and horses and seinfeld already done and wire has a lot of potential!

more on this:
  • managers would be separeted in two groups - police and criminals
  • each group would have their own pm convos where they can talk strategy etc. but not individual picks! in every group there would be either me or pro as some sorr of higher court
  • each group will have at least one manager that knows the tv show well as tactics and stuff will be connected with tv show
Most rounds will be sheep rounds with special rounds being implemented inbetween rounds.
 
Throwing out a couple of ideas that I've played on other forums/WhatsApp:

Common Club Pairs: you pick two players at a time, and they must have shared two clubs in common. For example, you could pick Luka Modric and pair him with Gareth Bale using Spurs and Real Madrid as the common clubs. Could have some restrictions on the picks (e.g. one Ballon d'Or winner per pair) to prevent duos like Messi-Ronaldinho, Matthaus-Rummenigge, etc.

Capitals Draft: players picked based on peak/prime with a club based in a capital city. You can't use the same capital more than once.
