Surveillance Draft

If at the time of the pick it is a valid pick it shall remain valid throughout the draft imo. Think it's a good pick and doesn't make mockery of the rules - least a season and played with each other, on both counts the answer is no.

Good point Raees. Any picks that are valid from the initial pick in the original drafting phase will continue to be valid throughout the entire draft. So even if Ibra and Bastian played together this season say on Saturday both could still be played together throughout the entire draft
 
Clarification Playing Together at Club Definition
As a reminder the playing together at club definition:

Played together at club level' will be defined as sharing at least one season with another player at the same club; if they did not move prior to the start of the league season e.g 15/16, they will have shardraft e season 14/15 as well as 15/16. They do not need to have been on the same pitch at the same time. Basically any time shared at the same club during the league campaign counts as played together; note however, if they were on loan for an entire season the club that they were loaned to will count as their club for that season. The only exception is if they were owned by the same club but one player did not play any senior games during that season (probably due to injury).

Any picks that are valid from the initial pick in the original drafting phase will continue to be valid throughout the entire draft. So even if Ibra and Bastian played together this season say on Saturday both could still be played together throughout the entire draft since both picks were made before they played together.

Not really arsed about it. But if they're playing together tonight or at the weekend then it's not really in keeping with the spirit of the draft.

Really? Don't remember that! :lol:
Yeah, at first you said that it's alright and it's a genuine 4-3-3 and then, when the game was about to end you decided that Bergkamp will play as #10 and the formation qualifies as a diamond, making a draw into a loss with this decision as you penalized diamond in that round :lol:

This is what is great about the snake format, the book-keeping and crossing out of players and the anxious wait for "dangerous managers" to pick, for better or worse.

Recalculating...
 
That's looking pretty great @Raees and @Invictus. A final-ready lineup so far while the poor sods at the bottom try functional alternative approaches to neuter the glitz at the top.

thanks but I think everyone looks pretty strong so far.. next few rounds will be brutal. Can imagine there will be a huge divergence in terms of quality rounds 5-8.

Very excited about my next pick. I first remember cursing this player when I first saw him play. Then I grew to love his style of play. Always wanted to watch more of his old Valencia matches and now is the perfect chance. Icon of Ranieri's Valencia resurgence.

Great pick that, but you do realise Gio couldn't go for him, don't you? I know he loves a bit of Mauro Silva, but he has Cafú.

Thanks. Yeah but i think i'm going for a rightback or maybe a central defender next.
 
Didn't have him on my initial list. Just stumbled across him luckily tonight. :D

Very jammy, I fully expected him to be gone this round, he simply doesn't block anyone at all bar players you couldn't reinforce with anyway.

It's starting to get very tricky balancing current picks with potential reinforcements..
