Tactical Draft

Decent speed of games done here. Like it!

Looking at the teams we have seen so far, and also what I already hinted at regarding our game tomorrow, it is pretty clear all the managers were not at the same page regarding this and we simply went with our own interpretations. Many have already created new setups different from what the player played in or was supposedly best in to make them a 'central player'. When the idea of this draft was first floated around, it was said the team will be 'built around' this assigned player and that means something very specific.

Moved it here so we dont ruin the game.
I dont see the difference tbh, if the player has the main role in the team and manager built a team to get the best out of that player how the team isnt built around him? If you mean literally then i dont know, 99% of draft regulars and players that should be in drafts but are not dont need a team built around them, there are very small amount of players that they need a complete team built around them and most of them are done to death in drafts so we assumed everyone would "get" what we mean.
There is nothing wrong with new setups as we said from the start, like in every draft proven setups and partnerships is the safe route but nobody is forced to go there, as long as your player is suited to a certain system you are fine you dont have to replicate the system in which he played before.

The emphasis is mainly on the term building a team around, as anto said in the game thread, which means someone different from making a team to get the best out of a player. The fact that we would be handpicked certain personalities who either player in a role in their team that due to their style of play and philosophy granted them the importance that was more than others in that team or their individual style of play, personality, aura etc was the reason one would have them as a central figure in a fantasy 11. e.g. someone like Cantona is absolutely perfect for such a nomination, in is most noticeable period he was the leader of the team, someone who drove the identity of the playing 11, etc. There are loads of such players, we aren't exactly talking of your Ibras and Tottis. That was the most interesting aspect for me, which then got changed to 'have a second/third tier attacking player and make a good functioning tactic for him' even if that means that he's no longer the most important figure in the team, at least offensively as those were the majority of the nominations, which isn't exactly very difficult to achieve especially if you simple remake the team they were in.

We would give out 16 very similar players in terms of position and playing style if we went for the proper central figures that need team around them, we thought this way was more fun, more variety and chance for the likes of Raul, Del Piero etc. that never get a proper chance if any chance in drafts.
You cant remove the remake mark, if someone wants to do the remake he can do it in every draft just like he would be able to do in if we gave 16 Cantonas.....its part of the draft game, some will go that route which is perfectly fine and some will go outside the box which is also great.
What can i say, sorry if we mislead you into playing or making you take the wrong route with building your team.

Has anyone used line-up builder before (http://lineupbuilder.com/new.php) ? I can't work out how to post a picture of the line-up in the forum. Any help would be much appreciated.

It's strange, they changed their functional. Since we're not on HTML, you can print screen it and post on the imagehosting website?

Reinforcements announcement
Not sure what was said earlier and in one way we are changing the rules now to make it fair but feck it. Block round wont be counted as a proper round so in reinforcements the people that picked a player for their team last will pick the first upgrade as they always do in drafts.

Makes sense
 
I posted this in my match thread but feel it should be posted here too:

Can I make a suggestion that in the next draft we're allowed to make our write-ups different to the template we were told to stick by? Most of the questions posters are asking about my team are included in my write-up. There needs to be a shorter, snappier way of presenting your team, as I'm guessing it's 'too long, didn't read'.

in 90% of drafts there is no template but in this and in remake draft it made sense to add it.

Are the central players of the losing teams available for picking in reinforcements? Or just the drafted players?
