July 12, 201610 yr Continuation of this thread: http://www.theshedend.com/topic/29601-fantasy-draft-game/ Hopefully it'll get a bit more attention in here.
July 12, 201610 yr Can you explain this a bit more? I'm interested but not really sure what it is.. Go through this page http://www.theshedend.com/topic/22993-all-time-fantasy-draft-game/page-2
July 12, 201610 yr We might need an even number of us if we're to play against each other (maybe eight?), although actually picking the teams is far and away the best part anyway.
July 12, 201610 yr Author ^ I agree, the knockouts are generally when everyone loses interest and stops posting. What range of players do people want to use? Personally I'm a fan of trying out a current active players draft; have we ever done that? That said, that would mean if someone was to pick Lampard or Pirlo (for example) it would be the old duffer MLS versions rather than the shiny golden God of their primes.
July 12, 201610 yr Everyone always gives up on this and we never get a winner. I'm claiming the win for last year.

It's up to you but that could work, we've only done an all-time one, a post-90s one and I think a Premier League draft.
July 12, 201610 yr Author I'd be happy with any format really, it would be good to have a general consensus though. I think we did an all-time Chelsea players one as well at one point, although all I really remember from that is picking Belletti. So far: coco footballoholic havelschayes PloKoon13 Teritus We can probably start when we get to eight, although if I remember right more people tend to jump on board once we get started.
July 12, 201610 yr I like the current player criteria although then it becomes a bit of a lottery as to who picks 1st and 2nd. I've seen drafts where they leave those 2 players out entirely, should we do something like that?
July 12, 201610 yr ^ Fine by me, obviously I was gonna go for Mikel first anyway. Like he said, there'll be two players that we're leaving out... ;)
July 13, 201610 yr I'm gonna PM Jmaher, he played one of the older drafts. Hopefully RIP Mourinho joins up too.
July 13, 201610 yr Author Sweet, we only need two more before we kick off then: coco footballoholic havelschayes PloKoon13 RIP Mourinho Teritus
July 13, 201610 yr Author Sweet, any more takers? We can start with one more. coco footballoholic havelschayes KURT.5 PloKoon13 RIP Mourinho Teritus
July 13, 201610 yr How about the #8 team can be a team selected by random members, whoever is about to select the players when its their turn ? But none of us other 7 can select for this team.
July 13, 201610 yr Also make a rule, when it's your turn, you have 12 hours max to select your player, or you will miss a turn and have to pick two players next time round, repeat if they miss again.
July 13, 201610 yr Author I like the second rule to keep the game flowing. I also think the first rule sounds hilarious and might make for an interesting side. It might lead someone to jump on it as well.
July 14, 201610 yr I think 12 hours is harsh with everyone in different time zones etc.. You might miss a go due to sleeping or something. Should be 24 hours just to be fair.
July 14, 201610 yr Yeah, I guess we can start off with 24 hours and maybe get it down to 12 later on, provided no one gets too busy.
July 14, 201610 yr 24 hours is ok if everyone does'nt take 24 hrs to answer, else it will take over a week to get through round one.
