Reality-Monopoly Draft

Can I use the default pool to replace a player rather than the box the dropped player is from?

Class, just yesterday i watched that Villa game on youtube and he was one of the best ones on the pitch.
 
@Edgar Allan Pillow The clarification for the No Mate box is the same as for the Buddy box. Does that mean the player we pick can't have played with Pat's last pick or with all of them?
 
Fantastic performance by Luigi Riva against Mexico in 1970 WC quarter-final

 
Yeah I can take it



Some boxes are crap for talent so you just pick what's available. To then drop and replace them is pointless.
cheers mate.

I'm picking from the default pool for the 4th time now.

Your first pick was Goofy. From that very moment getting another droppable CL player should have been a factor.

That's why I was raving about my box 7 (shithole) pick, a CL drop would have meant Zanetti or Krol. Pat was Zanetti. Ruud was Davids...

Now I found this guy who may well start, or be an injury backup, but also is insurance against dropping ANY of my players, he goes before ANY of them regardless of whether it's CL, Skizzo or Pat.
 
I blame the alcohol.

:lol: I'm sober now sadly, although I've almost certainly cost myself some much-needed brain cells. I'm actually pretty well stocked in the versatility department, with Gullit, Brehme, Carlos Alberto all capable of playing more than one position to a high level, and a few others to a lesser extent.

Any chance of a ruling on this @Edgar Allan Pillow , as it might affect my next pick:

@Edgar Allan Pillow what's happening with injuries now? Are we still losing a player to injury before our first match, and is our allocated player eligible to be injured?

Trying to injury-proof my squad a little and finding it pretty fecking tough, even with versatile players like Gullit on board.

Yep, that's been a big factor for me too, and I initially picked Vierchowod ahead of Gento solely as he future-proofed me against any of the player drop boxes. I've got another guy who does that, although it will be annoying to lose him.

As far as I know they are still on. The earlier threat and postponement of an injury round was him fecking with you.

I've got a player to drop. My point being if I have to pick from the same box it will only be another player to protect against drops once again.

Not really as whoever you pick can't have won the CL.

You DO have a good out, not wanting to contemplate it is a separate issue.

Oh I know I do. Let's say I dropped a player from box 2. I'd still have to pick another player from box 2. Just that they can't have won the CL. So I'd be picking someone to drop from one of the other boxes if I land there.
 
@Edgar Allan Pillow @P-Nut0712

cheers mate.

No 2MUFC is mistaken. He has to drop Evra and replace him with someone from the same box he picked him in. You go default when you DON'T drop.

Sounds like he fell in corner boxes before but never had anyone to drop so got used to default pool.

Here he has to drop Evra and pick from the box he last visited.
 
@Edgar Allan Pillow The clarification for the No Mate box is the same as for the Buddy box. Does that mean the player we pick can't have played with Pat's last pick or with all of them?
One is plural, the other singular. BUDDY says PLAYER so refers to the last one picked, NO MATES says PLAYERS so refers to all.

@Tuppet @2mufc0 The no Mate and Buddy Buddy boxes only applies to the last picked player of the previous manager.
 
Drop Luton pick Paul Janes 2mufc0
 
@Edgar Allan Pillow, it would make sense that Buddy Buddy must have played with the last pick (more constrained) and No Mates can't have played with any (again, makes it more exacting, can't have played with the very last pick is almost a free shot at the entire All Time pool).

The use of singular and plural on the board indicates the original intentio was that.

The clarification on the OP is not the original but a bad cut and paste job.

Are you sure you didn't accidentally completely change the No Mates rule when dealing with the Buddy Buddy crisis? It's really obvious it should be hasn't played with any of rather than the last pick.
