@Marty1968 Boycott's my AM.

I think Marty initially has it set up to be the career peak, but I'd prefer it if he sets it up to be the league peak. It should make things even more interesting.@Marty1968 how we judge players, career peak or league peak? im guessing its the latter one but just to be sure
Yeah I'll become VivaJayJay.
@Gio How about making reinforcements round without the first three round picks? Than the final teams won't be devastating but you can still improve problems in your team untill the finals
Personally, I think limiting it to any available players from your league is fine, just no crossover. That way any "super team" you might possibly build is at least still within the restrictions and spirit of the draft theme. And by the end, could see a tasty Serie A vs La Liga match.
Also, @Marty1968, I'm just wondering why we don't just leave it as Serie A vs. La Liga the whole way so that we not only play for ourselves but also for the league that we represent, or is there a flaw to that approach that I don't see?
The theme combined with the DOB cutoff should be enough to make it interesting. But I would definitely add league peak to this - seems logical and in line with how these things usually work (Euro form for a Euro draft - non-Euro form being irrelevant).
Fact is that league peak could be an interesting little curve ball of sorts here, as it should make managers think twice about drafting some otherwise obvious names. Being careless in that regard could come back to bite yer arse - when your opponent rightly points out that yer star man actually was a bit shite in Serie A/la Liga.
Good point. I guess that's why it's random then.I think that's the plan ideally, but that would mean an equal number of Serie A/La Liga teams win each round, which is probably unlikely.
Sounds good, I'll be interested to play.
I'll be in too.
Excellent. I'll create a separate thread for this, but people can just tag me in this thread and then I'll keep updating a preliminary list of managers (a reservation list, as it were) in the draft thread (no need to keep said thread active before we get close to starting the thing itself).
I'll add some more details in the draft thread too, but the main features won't be announced until later.
Hopefully it'll prevent managers from trying to cover up for the lesser-known/rated players.
I'm looking out for an AM to help me out as I just got a job recentlyand won't have as much time to spend on these forums as I used to. Whoever replies first will become my AM. And Stobzilla, I know you have some strange vendetta against me, but me being fair, I won't leave you out as well.
And thus, everything becomes clear.It's not a strange vendetta, I just don't like you on a personal level.
Left out again...
Can we do a 32 team draft next time?
True, alternatively we could have 2x16 team drafts, and have a grand final at the end, but it could get confusing and people will start stealing ideals from the "other group".Join the AM circuit, man. People are gaggin' for 'em.
A 32 team draft requires the right sort of theme, I think. You could do it with this present theme, technically, but you'd be digging somewhat deep in the available pool. Not that I personally would have anything against that, but it could get downright boring past a certain point.
Another thing with the 32 is that you probably have to have even shorter deadlines, and really enforce the rules as pertaining to not showing up on time - otherwise it could lose momentum quickly.
Personally, I think the 32 is best suited to a custom format of one kind or another - not a standard draft of 10-12 rounds of snake or similar.
Had originally thought career peak but it will be league peak! Will make it a bit tougher!@Marty1968 how we judge players, career peak or league peak? im guessing its the latter one but just to be sure
This will only work if after the first round we have 4 teams from each league. If we do then will keep them separate but it's likely there won't be four from each.I think that's the plan ideally, but that would mean an equal number of Serie A/La Liga teams win each round, which is probably unlikely.
Viva and MJJ are combined so @KM you have a spot.I'll be in too.
If nobody signs you up as an AM then take my spotLeft out again...

Thanks, but that's not fair on you and I'm going to be on holiday in a few days anyway, so probably not the best timing if this starts in the next week or so.If nobody signs you up as an AM then take my spot
You can assist me?Thanks, but that's not fair on you and I'm going to be on holiday in a few days anyway, so probably not the best timing if this starts in the next week or so.
Sure, but like I said, I won't be much good if it starts within the next week. After next weekend I'd be more than happy to.You can assist me?
No problem with me!Sure, but like I said, I won't be much good if it starts within the next week. After next weekend I'd be more than happy to.
Probably an auction draft I reckon...Sheep draft would be seriously messy with 32 teams!!! (actually that would be brutally amazing!!!)I reckon a 32 team draft would work best for a sheep or Auction draft as I think they actually draft quickest.
Your draft Idea sounds pretty awesome too.Duly noted. I'll edit a sign-up list into the post above, so people can reserve a spot if they're interested.
Indeed, in the last one we already had the idea just after the picking process@Chesterlestreet count me in. But wait, do we know already have 2 drafts ready before the last one even ended Good job fellow junkies!
