Ooo, second, me like
Pre Premier League Draft
- Thread starter Indnyc
- Start date
Excellent!
Onenil and I won't pick you-know-who, then we can proceedWe might delay the start a bit to give people some time to research and also because @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson is MIA and it was his draft idea
KM is paired with Invictus. Sjor is still available as AM

Can we start on Monday? Weekends are generally the worst
Sure

In the middle.
Don't like.
I'd trade you spots, my strategy I planned works far better at the bottom of this draft, going first is causing me issues
I wouldn't mind, but probably not a good idea to be swapping amongst ourselves.
12-16 are probably the sweet spots in this drafts.
No trading
I would have loved to go first thoughNo trading
When is the draft officially starting? With the pick times its important to know the exact time the clock starts ticking.
Draft Start Time
Random generators hate me. I have been near the bottom of the picking list in six of my seven drafts.
It mightn't be too bad of an outcome this time mate. There's not the usual band of untouchable GOATs in this pool as we get in the all-time drafts, so being closer to the bottom and getting two picks in quick succession might be better for team-building.
Yes, quite pleased with that drafting order, tbh.
Can't build a team around anyone in the standard manner but then again the pool doesn't really contain an awful lot of players who fit that bill to begin with (arguably none I would like to build a team around in the standard manner, if I can put it like that).
Why is googling up unknown Italian or Brazilian footballers more interesting than British ones? I'm struggling for my 1st pick..

You plan on going for an unknown player as your first pick? Interesting strategy - I like it.
Touche!
I'm considering some left field moves to begin with myself, actually.
There are some non-obvious feckers out there if you want to go down a certain route - but I don't know how smart it is if you want to impress the voters.
A basic question - for me - will be whether to go for anything but an obvious setup/formation as per the draft theme. If you decide to abandon that - obvious - format, you can probably manage to squeeze in some players who'd otherwise be, well, non-obvious picks.
Non 442 setup's? I was thinking of this, but you really lack players for a back 3. Only scattering if wide forwards etc. Very few #10s too. Quite difficult. Lots of CMs.
Yeah - it's difficult.
Could be done, though. Not necessarily 3 at the back, mind - that seems a stretch. But something other than a bog standard 4-4-2.

Aye, from my dozen or so candidates for first pick there's really only one that you'd need to indulge significantly to get the best from them.
I think you could put together a back three okay, but the wing backs would be a real difficulty. Not too many Cafus knocking about in this pool. There's one left field pick that comes to mind who has a cracking skill set for wing back, but it would probably be poorly received by the voters. I may air the idea to @Skizzo and immediately make him regret teaming up with me again

I'm struggling for the first overall pick myself.
I actually think you have the best overall pick chance imo.. The problem with this draft is going to be selling a lot of players that were just good but never great..

both have a separate convo with KM
It's all a fake. Probably @Raees paid @Šjor Bepo to kick @Invictus off the team, so he needs not share the win credit.
Twit draft hasn't begun, and already fireworks.
draft hasn't begun, and already fireworks.I'm still wondering what the feck Sjor did to his erstwhile assistant @TRossManUtd8 , who still hasn't been seen on the Caf since Sjor binned his entire lineup bar Park in the last draft

Pick who you want ..... it's not like I'd get my I.T. mate to hack your account, find out your personal details and come round to your house. Honest
Agree, which is why a non-GOAT draft balances things out a bit.
I'd be ok(ish) for a back three as a couple of players I can think of who could sit between two more standard CHs but wingbacks harder to pick - fullbacks were fullbacks.
Yeah - you could probably construct a decent enough 5-4-1 of some kind, but it would likely be a very conservative one, i.e. something you'd use in bus parking job more than anything.
However, as Mustard suggested above, you could dig up a player here and there who should - as per playing style - work well as a de facto wingback even if they didn't actually play as such (British teams didn't really buy into the 5-3-2 thing that was popular elsewhere in the 1980s).
