Reality-Monopoly Draft

There's more to it than that you just can't roll a 1. There are many more combinations to roll a 7 than to roll a 12 for example. If you just randomise numbers from 2 to 12, it's totally different to rolling two dice.

Just roll two dice on random.org, should be the best way to do it:

I know, that's why I said the results are significantly different. What I meant is that it's fairly unimportant in the context of the game. No bonus rolls, no extra money on go, no houses/hotels to land on, etc. Here it's just different criteria for picking players, and while some are better than others, it's not that big a deal.

edit: Actually, r(12) would probably be better for this as it spreads the players out more quickly. Rolling two dice would cluster players around certain criteria more early in the game.

Injuries represent Reality as in getting a real injury or a red card etc. Injury will be in middle of drafting or before reinforcement so managers have ample opportunity to recover and replan. It's not designed to be the sole differentiating factor.

One injury during drafting and two after every match is quite an extreme version of reality, but I guess it will remind me of being an Arsenal fan and seeing Diaby, RVP over the years :lol:

Played not born. Read the criteria carefully

Sure, you'll get a few from China or India super league as well

I'll need to read over the rules and format before I can check in, but if, by that time, 16 players check in before me, then I can be someone's AM if they are interested.
 
Brilliant draft concept! Has it been done before? Anyway, first time I've seen it, and it looks great. Creds to the people administrating it.
 
@Edgar Allan Pillow Definition of "recruited by Fergie"? A player who joined United prior to becoming a member of the senior squad - but not an academy player who was there from the beginning, as it were?

I mean, if a player joined the academy at the lowest possible age, he wasn't really recruited by Fergie.
 
Someone to update the list of confirmed managers?
 
1. p-nut
2. ecstatic/mdfc
3. harms
4. 2mufc0
5. enigma
6. chester
7. prath92
8. šjor/marty
9. onenil
10. ctp
11. Skizzo
12. Moby
13. Tuppet
 
NOTE: Caveat on that list: Not sure that everyone on it had a spot reserved.

Up to EAP to decide when the deadline runs out for checking in, though.

I'm sure you can think of Europe/American born players who have played atleast 1 game outside of those listed continents.

Depends on which boxes. @Ecstatic had major contributions to many of those.

Only senior team. Promoted to and/or transferred in by Fergie to senior team.
 
Think @RedTiger @Oaencha @mazhar13 are left to confirm from the original list.

@Edgar Allan Pillow

S6 - First 2 picks of losing team will not be available during reinforcements.
S7 - Open pool reinforcement. Undrafted players can be drafted now, subject to criteria/blocks.

is it all picked players available or only 3rd pick onwards for RR?

Awaiting confirmation:
Oaencha
mazhar - he's posted that OK to play as AM

Newly interested managers:

Šjor Bepo
Marty1968
MDFC Manager
ctp
antohan


Lads, please see if you can partner with the newly interested managers so everyone can participate.
 
List full - but Oaencha and mazhar could grab the last two spots from...anto, I think, and possibly ctp.
 
MDFC Manager joined my team
Sjor-Marty are together
 
Sjor deserves his spot after all that heavylifting in the last draft. I'll just shadow someone, not fussed.
 
my bad then, didnt see NM is replacing memphis so i put marty and me on the list.

So the requirement is only one match outside Europe, Americas and USSR+ former USSR?

Aye, all those injuries seem excessive to me.

The intention is to force the manager to adopt a new strategy so we don't see the same team with upgrades throughout the draft. Every round should bring something new to the table.
