Serie A vs La Liga Head-to-Head Draft

Marty1968 said:
Restrictions:
1. Only players born after 1st January 1960 will be eligible

2. Players who have neither played in Serie A, nor La Liga will obviously be blocked

3. Players to have played in both leagues will be blocked

4. Each team must have a minimum of five nationalities represented in their starting XI. If a player has played for more than one national team, you must select one and state which nationality when producing your write ups. There is obviously no limitations as to the maximum number of nationalities in your squad.

5. Three additional players from both leagues will be blocked before the start of the draft. It will be for the manager number 8 on the list for each league who will decide which three players to block from the opposite league. These players will be blocked for the duration of the draft.

6. If an ineligible player is selected you are stuck with him. If a second ineligible player is selected, you will be given a sheep.

7. Even if players made a single competitive league appearance in the top division (whether on loan or signed for that team) in both leagues they are blocked and ineligible.

8. The only way a player will be eligible having played in both countries will be if he played for a lower league team in either Spain or Italy but not Serie A/La Liga. This counts for all competitions (league & cup matches).

Surely, you ain't stuck with the ineligible pick when it's discovered straight away? That'd be overly harsh, IMO. An honest mistake - and boom, you're out.

If you pick an ineligible player and it is not discovered straight away, that's different. Then you should be stuck with your man, that's fair enough.

Pointless draft anyway so might as well let him pick again.

Yeah, that's harsh for my money. But you can't say it's not fair: It's what's stated in the rules.

For me, though, it seems reasonable that you allow managers to withdraw illegitimate picks as long as this does not feck up the momentum, i.e. as long as the error is discovered - and acknowledged - right away.

Otherwise, you sheep 'em or whatever you have to do - that's perfectly fair. But when the guy himself is in the thread, acknowledging the error, immediately afterwards - well, I think it's harsh. Not least since it's his first pick.
