Surveillance Draft

It depends on the pool of players, really. In this draft maybe only banning R1 picks might have been the way to go. It's fine though. The guys who have planned properly will win this.. So, not me :lol:

I've done zero planning and just picked whoever seems best when it gets to me :lol:

The one draft where i reaaaaally planned like a mofo i won. It's such an advantage. This one i'm also winging it so let's hope for the best!

There you go... ;)

It forces you to work hard on the team rather than rely on the shiny star, close enough to the bottom to make them almost double picks yet not as far from the other end that you have no time to react to runs on positions. You need to be on top of your game though.

In a couple of rounds predicting who is/isn't safe should be easy enough in both directions.

I think we've just got some awkward time zones following each other. That said it would make sense if the pace slows a little given block mania which will take place.

If anything that should speed it up as you have a limited group of players to choose between

yeah the choice will become really limited which can speed up the process if people leave their picks when not in turn.

guys don't know what you think but I've been looking through teams and potential upgrades if they win their matches and the chances to genuinely upgrade on a given position is very very slim.. for the picks before the QF's, decent chance of one upgrade or two if you are lucky but for the remainder of the draft, genuinely improving on your team is nigh on impossible.

Is blocking picks from positions 1 and 2 for a BNM type draft shooting ourselves in the foot too much.. what do you think @Physiocrat. I was thinking blocking pick from 1st picks (so Messi etc are definitely blocked), but allowing picks from 2 onwards just to ensure we have a slightly wider pool to chose from.

I think you are overthinking it a bit. You still have 2 reinforcement options per round so you can rotate and navigate through.

For example Davids in your team stifles a lot of options, but you can get someone in his place and pretty much open pool after that :) For one as anto mentioned it makes the reinforcement options easier than with completely open pool as considering the picks already made you might not accommodate the Messi's and Ronaldo's.

Browsing through the teams and options it's a huge advantage to be top 5 in the picking order from the off and after that not so as it's pretty much equal field.

Tbh, I'm not a fan of that pairing in a 4231. Not complimentary at all.

I think is a good combo with Rui Costa in front of them. It's a more demanding formation tho as it would probably require 2 genuine wide forwards to provide the width and probably a target man in front.
