The Reality Draft: Main Thread (Finals)
- Thread starter Edgar Allan Pillow
- Start date
We should do a vintage one for that. Reckon a full fledged 40s one with 16 teams, like the 50s, 60s 70s ones. Those were the ones who brought out these gems.
Sure, you can hand over to him once he is back...probably be his Scout!
Thanks for pitching in interim!
Is that how MJJ came to mind
guilty! I think we should get the managers pool noted somewhere to tage for future drafts.I don't think those players fit in the DoF pools anto.
I've already listed all the players I would happily get them ahead of. You would be much stronger with a top flexible wing/inside forward than a cnut of a striker to fit in who defines your entire tactical setup, and there's plenty of those.
Why would you block Rummenigge @Theon ? I don't remember him having a single great game in any draft ever, surely he's not one of the top16 vote winners? He also went unpicked in Annah's auction draft with the point system, if I'm not mistaken. Poor Kalle
OK, This is nearly done. The only pending items are:
@Annahnomoss to replace blocked Maldini (and maybe reconsider Ballack)
@BorisDeLeFora to replace blocked Baresi (and maybe reconsider Zlatan)
@crappycraperson to replace blocked Rummenigge

I was looking forward to the challenge of fitting him and selling him properly
Even had the entire tactical setup in mind if he came my way Mind, he was part of the winning team in the 50s draft, but largely played as a winger there. We actually had a mighty battle with Breitner guarding that flank as a wingback of sorts.
As you all know, I'm fond of oldies and players that don't get their fair dues having a shot
Blocked: Paolo Maldini, the right-winger kryptonite that single-handedly attacks, shores up the defence, covers everyone, and keeps Garrincha in his pocket while at it.
DoF Interference Forward: Allan Simonsen
DoF Interference Midfielder: Ricardo Bochini
DoF Defender: Oscar Ruggeri
Legacy Pool: Fernando Morena
Nice strategy there, I can see what you are doing. Most of us aren't going to enjoy getting these players and you won't mind getting them yourself. Real sly
@Edgar Allan Pillow Shouldn't Enzo Francescoli be reconsidered for the legacy pick? Just think he is too good for that category but perhaps isn't really good enough for the GOAT category as well either so it's debatable.

I'll add more to that. I was considering others who I didn't particularly want so was happy for anyone to get, but then realised others would likely spend a pick on them anyway, while I wouldn't, better to leave them in the general pool then. It's @Stobzilla call mate. Pool nominations are dicey and choices may give someone else a big advantage/disadvantage as this is random allocation. I can try to average it out on mediocre players, but 'too good' is a very debatable opinion. What is nominated stays in this case.
Francescoli shits on half the GOATs in this. My muppet dream was getting him legacy and Rummenigge DoF forward, I could then play a trident and play any random striker who would still fill his boots all day long
Keep him there though, it's a reality draft and reality has both bumps and windfalls along the way.
OK, Can we kick start this now?
I'll get someone neutral to randomize the managers order first and the Legacy pool next. The 2nd pick can start tomorrow at noon GMT and hopefully by that time the 3 replacements would be in.
Begin?

I can do that, if it starts within the next hour.
Sure mate. Thanks. The full list is udpated in Page 1, Post #2.
Randomize the playing order and post here. PM me the Legacy Order.
There were 16 items in your list. Here they are in random order:
- Annahnomoss
- EAP
- Joga Bonito
- Raees
- antohan
- BorisDeLeFora
- ctp
- Skizzo
- Chester/Theon
- Jayvin
- Stobzilla
- Aldo
- The Red Viper
- VivaJanuzaj
- harms
- crappycraperson
I hate Annah for being that incredibly lucky all the time
Randomizers hate me.
Going fifth ain't too bad, would have to be very unlucky for one of my first round picks not to be available.
Come on Balu, give me Enzo, not Inmenso.

If I get Morena and you get Enzo, we are swapping.
LEGACY! LEGACY! LEGACY!

I think this is the draft that being first ones are the most crucial for a change

EAP has the legacy list via PM. I don't really know why I wasn't allowed to post it, seems like he has something special planned for the presentation. There are a few nice combinations though.
feck me, I can't stand half those chaps. Come on Enzo/Phillip, come to pappa!
Getting picture with the incredible slow internet in office is quite the pain. So we will settle for text and you can imagine the drumworks and confetti.

Crappy is going to go apeshit, let's hope the legacy draw isn't too harsh on him.
@Edgar Allan Pillow does this mean Annah picks 2nd round first but 4th round last? Or the picking order stays the same for all rounds?
There are many important and valid reasons1) I wanted pics, but now discarded the idea as too much work.
2) I want to drag this out in the name of suspense
3) I want to increase my post count.
4) I want to stamp my authority on this draft. My way or highway.
That won't make sense. The order should alternate for the snake rounds as the ones in between are randomized anyway.
Of course it does. The randomised events are when the turn goes up so we always start from the top!
Obviously NOT! :TROLL:
Yes. 2nd round first and alternates for next picking rounds.
15 great start
great startThe highlighted text going to the quote new feature is great fyi.

It will be more fun if Balu does it going forward. Even for you as a playing manager!
