Only just saw this. Very interesting!
I suspected I came bottom especially when I came up against Moby who I had at No.1. ISO's side is criminally underrated, I had him at 4th
Interested in the reinforcements.
@GodShaveTheQueen will we be seeing players play in both draft competitions simultaneously?

i had him 6th #isogate
1 had him at 4th, 2 had him at 6th, one at 8th, rest all had him in double digits
Isotope - 15 + 15 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 4 + 14 + 14 + 14 + 12 + 6 + 13 + 12 + 10 + 11 = 164
Isotope - 15 + 15 + 6 + 10 + 8 + 4 + 14 + 14 + 14 + 12 + 6 + 13 + 12 + 10 + 11 = 164
All seeds knocked out unseeded teams, so the system is flawless.
@GodShaveTheQueen will there be seeds in the QF's or random draw?
There wont be any further seeding. I haven't decided yet on how to draw, so most likely random, but we'll see.
Reinforcement rules
WELCOME TO THE GSTQ SCHOOL OF DRAFTING
There are 3 basic drafting principles that the GSTQ school of drafting tries to teach its students.
1. Try to change your formation/system/tactics every round no matter how good they were in the last round.
2. Try to shuffle around your starting 11 from one round to another and don't be afraid to drop the big names.
3. Rant about how the draft mods are unfair, the rules are shit and in general have completely ruined your plans.
This reinforcement round will give you an opportunity to learn and do all of these things.
RULES
1. Every team shall get 3 reinforcement picks.
2. First 2 picks shall be in snake style, 3rd pick shall be a sheep round.
3. The order of snake round shall be random.
SNAKE ROUNDS
1. For the Coronavirus Champions League, the reinforcements pool is - All the players still playing in the Coronavirus Champions League
2. For the Coropa League, the reinforcements pool is - All the players still playing in the Coropa League
3. When your turn arrives, you can pick any player from anyone's squad. (2 rounds, 2 steals).
4. Every manager can lose only 2 players max.
5. So if 2 players have already been stolen from a manager during the reinforcement rounds, his squad will no longer be available for picking.
6. At the end of the 2 rounds, everybody would have gained 2 new players and lost 2 of their existing players.
7. No outfield players of any round are blocked, you can pick any player you wish. No goalkeepers can be stolen.
8. A player once stolen can't be stolen again.
SHEEP ROUND
1. The purpose of this round is simple, you might lose 2 players in positions that don't match your reinforcements positions.
2. For example, you might have picked up a forward and a CB, but might have lost both your current CB's making it impossible to put up a lineup.
3. This round will help you fill those gaps and let you go full throttle during the snake rounds.
4. But there is a catch, the player picked in this round can't be a goalkeeper and its mandatory for him to start the QF game.
5. The pool for this round is all the unpicked players in the draft.
6. The sheep round will be common across both the drafts, so all 16 teams will be competing for the same unpicked pool.
7. All pass picks will be revealed at the end of each sheep round rather than at the end as I don't want anyone to end up with sheep.
8. If at the end of 3 rounds, you still have 3 fails, you can request for the position you need a player in and I will allocate one of decent quality. You can be specific : Wingback/Fullback, DLP/B2B/AM etc.
You'll soon receive your school t-shirts. Wear them proudly!

The reinforcements shall start after the end of the Skizzo vs Pat.
Putting the rules out a little early so everyone has some time to go through them to iron out any questions and we can start as soon as the last game finishes.

@GodShaveTheQueen snake start at top or bottom?
Good thing I have a shite team
good thing i already have a sub for Pele
So whoever gets first pick chooses whatever two players they want from any of the teams?
will first for the snake portion also he first for the sheep portion?
will first for the snake portion also he first for the sheep portion?
No, we have 8 teams, so the pick order shall be 1 to 8 for first round and 8 to 1 for the second round
Sheep round doesnt have any order. Let me share an example.
Go through the OP of this draft to understand how a sheep round works. There is a good spoiler-ed example as well.
https://www.redcafe.net/threads/2018-sheep-draft.443119/
@GodShaveTheQueen can we steal back players stolen from ourselves? And, can stolen players be stolen again...i.e I steal from someone and someelse steals him from me etc etc?
@GodShaveTheQueen doesn't this create an advantage for those managers who are picking last as they will know which players they have lost and can then reinforce accordingly, managers picking first won't know who they are losing so you can't plan for it.
Not really. Their pool will also be minimal for second pick. By the time their turn comes, most manager's quota of 2 lost players will be over. The guy who makes the first pick will have only 1 manager's team to make his 2nd pick. The 2nd guy will only have 2 options. They might not even be left with a good player in the position they need .
Also the sheep round will make up for any unknown position losses.
Also, it's not very difficult to guess which players you might lose

Knew you'd be the only to like that
Would wear it proudly and pompously.
And as soon as I would put it, people would knew its a booze time.
I like it GSTQ
think the first pick is a little TOO powerful though.

Yeah I quote like this round, changes things up a bit, despite the fact I never got to use my squad exactly as I wanted
Has its own pros and cons. Tried to make as balanced as possible.
@GodShaveTheQueen can you post the squads of esch team in each half with just the games to be finished to be added later? Might as well start looking for replacements now
Will do in a bit.
Cheers
