Draft idea for after the Season

I'd be up for that. 1976 - 2016.

 

It would be tough though, as there were only 4 teams in the 1976 tournament. Then 8 teams per tournament from 1980 until they doubled the number of teams to 16 in 1996. The last expansion for the 2016 tournament increased the number of sides to 24.

 

We'd have to jig it around a bit and come up with slightly more accommodating rules. If we have ten people+ playing you can't expect them to all pick a player from just four teams, two of which were Yugoslavia and Czechoslovakia.

I am. Ardja took about 12 hours to decide on Toni Kroos, we'll be here until the start of next season trying to get him to decide between Přemysl Bičovský and Vahid Halilhodžić.

 84, 88, 92, 96, 00, 04, 08, 12, 16 but when all players are ready to go they have to stipulate before making any picks, 2 championships where they intend to pick 2 players from. They can’t change that during selections they have to stick to it.

 

 Whilst this current one has been good so far, Its also been relatively easy. I think allowing 1 player per nation makes it far more difficult. Obviously with a European Championship one that makes things even harder but I am up for the challenge?

 

 Anyway go fuck yourself Stig we’ve still got this one to finish.

It was between Kroos and Möller, and it took only 5-6 hours.

I think we should be allowed to post the voting thread in the main football forum. 

I don't think it should. The draft subsection was added as people where sick of the drafts in the FF.

I agree. 

 

Just have to make sure everyone who participated fucking votes unlike the last few.

The main forum is halfway to being a graveyard as it is - it would be a huge inconvenience to add an actually active thread to it.

Add it to the main thread.

 

I think the selection one gets annoying because its being updated regularly throughout the day and its only of interest to the people playing but the voting one  is different as its interesting hearing the discussions and peoples reasoning, plus the poll  doesn't show up if people want to vote without saying anything either.

I actually have an idea for a draft, for the first time ever. It goes like this:

 

You have to pick players based on how many international caps they have.

You must have one player from each of these ranges - 0-10, 11-20, 21-30, 31-40, 41-50, 51-60, 61-70, 71-80, 81-90, 91-100, 100+.

Any player ever - i.e they could have been capped in 1954 or 2019.

One player from each nation maximum.

 

I'm not entirely sure how tricky or otherwise that would be but my instinct is it could be quite tricky.

Sounds interesting. I think it’d be tricky myself.

I'd change the date range from 1990 onwards to be fair. 

 

Be a tough fucker that one. Might have given me a semi. Which is ironic seeing as thats about as far as I get in these fucking things.

If there was to be a year involved, I'd say from 1960 onwards would be reasonable.
