Premiership Pick 'n Mix Game

    Anyone else bored and fancy a game?

    What’s the game? Well basically, you pick a fantasy team made up of players in the premiership today (we could do it from the whole world, but it makes it the differences in teams less apparent). You select eleven players, then arrange them into a formation. Once everyone has selected their team, we have a vote (either by a public poll or for better element of suspense, by privately messaging the game starter, ie – me) on who has the best team, and whoever gets most votes wins. Obviously you can’t vote for yourself.

    The one catch is that the selection process works like it does(/did!) in school games. You cannot pick a player that is already on another person’s team, and the selection process goes in a specific order with each person getting one pick, except for the last person on the order, who gets two picks. It then reverses. Eg:

    Person 1 – Rooney
    Person 2 – Fabregas
    Person 3 – Ronaldo
    Person 4 – Clichy
    Person 5 – Van Der Sar, Ferdinand
    Person 4 – Tevez
    Person 3 – Cech
    Person 2 – Evra
    Person 1 - Gallas, Essien
    Person 2 - …

    And so on. I think there should be a max of 10 people per game, otherwise it gets too confusing.

    When posting your pick, include the players already in your team, so it is easy to keep track of who has who. Once we have 10 (or less, if we don't have 10), I’ll edit this post to include the players and the order yiz are in. Don’t pick out of turn.

    The order:

    Pepe LeFrits
    estebancambias
    PHB
    Xavi6
    Mr Alan
    Unearthly
    Killmem00
    Im no Superman
    Redzerdrog
    playa3

    Seems our esteemed moderator is no longer online. How do we proceed?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 29,372 ✭✭✭✭Mr Alan


    ban him.


  • Users Awaiting Email Confirmation Posts: 15,001 ✭✭✭✭Pepe LeFrits


    I imagine he'll be back shortly. He spends enough time on here so we probably won't have to wait that long. I'll be taking an enforced 45 minute break shortly myself.
