Boards Draft 2020 - Current Premier League - Signup Thread!

    The rules are generally :

    PLAYERS HAVE TO HAVE MADE ONE PREMIER LEAGUE PERFORMANCE AND WILL BE JUDGED ON PREMIER LEAGUE PERFORMANCE ALONE (ASIDE FROM ROUND 5)

    1. People sign up in the initial thread (this thread). Declare interest below but please only sign up if you generally look at boards fairly regularly as we don't want to be holding other users up from their picks and slowing the game down.

    2. A random list generator is done to determine the picking order.

    3. Posters generally have around 24 hours to make their pick before they are skipped. When you make your pick you pm the next person on the list to let them know it is their turn.

    4. We go until everyone has a full team and then we have a draw to pit posters sides against each other.
    Other posters can come in and thank the post of the team they think is better.

    5. This draft will be based on current Premier League players and they will be based on their performances in the Premier League alone, not other leagues/international.

    Example of a picks thread from a previous draft : https://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/show...php?p=73979193


    *I'M OPEN TO OTHER CRITERIA SUGGESTIONS, DOESN'T HAVE TO BE PREMIER LEAGUE*

    Good stuff. That's 8 so far. Ideally we'll get to 16 but if not we'll work around it.

    I've PMed a few folk that said they were interested in the old thread.

    One change to the format I'd suggest is removing the teams playing against each other in a knockout section.

    People always lose interest after the first round or two and especially when their teams are voted out.

    Instead I'd do a single thread with each team in it and let everyone set out their sides and then people can vote on each side.

    Maybe say you have 12-16 teams and everyone votes how they think a hypothetical league would finish if all sides were to play against each other.

    Basically your order of preference.

    Average out the teams positions and get a league table at the end?

    I've never ran a draft on here but I definitely noticed a drop off in interest after the selection process in other ones I've taken part in on other sites so I'd be happy to make a change.

    I'm open to any and all suggestions.

    I'll leave this open for the rest of today and we'll start at some stage tomorrow.

    Based on thanks, people seem happy enough with IncognitoMan's voting suggestion so the number of people isn't an issue.

    Will it be based off their current ability or all time PL careers? So say David Silva, will it be based on him now or at his peak for Man City?

    It'll be based off their entire time in the Premier League, so his peak.

    So David Silva will be based off his entire career in the Premier League. His Valencia or Spain performances won't count.

    Another great thing about his suggestion is it would make us less dependent on a certain number signing up so as to make knockout brackets.

    Instead akin to the PW draft were we had posts to showcase how good our fed could be before voting, here we would just layout how our teams would be set up before voting on which one would rise above the others if they were to compete.

    There has been no counter to this so I'm happy to run with this.

    Hey just to confirm it is a straight draft with Current premier league players only and based off their entire premier league careers rather than just current ability?

    Is there a special round?

    Some kind of special round would be good IMO. I can see it being very slim pickings by the end if we are picking 132 current PL players between us.

    As long as they have made a Premier League appearance they are golden but they will be judged on their Premier League performance.

    Seeing as no picks have been made.

    ROUND 5 WILL BE A SPECIAL PICK ROUND

    I accept I have a lot to gain from this :pac: but can I suggest the special round be moved to an even numbered round? As it stands Redzerdog get first pick in the first round and the special round.

    Edit: Actually Redzerdog made his pick so prob not fair to change it now

    Maybe do another random draw for the special pick round? Does seem a bit of an advantage

    I assume round 2 will be in reverse order, and so on? Worked well last time and gives everyone a chance.

    I am completely easy with what happens in the special pick round. Should we put in a bit of a write up when we are selecting players or just keep it brief? I have gone with Aguero anyway. Also redzerdog PM'd me to say it was my pick and I have done the same to Incognito Man, I suggest everyone does the same to keep it flowing.

    Yeah reverse order at the very least in the first two rounds usually is a good idea.

    If there is only to be one special round it probably should not have the same order as the first round alright as that might be too much of an advantage for the early posters. Think I did one or two of these soccer ones before where there was for example a "legends round" and that had the reverse order of the 1st round or if there were 2 special rounds the 2nd one would be a reversal of the 1st one.

    pick made, pm sent.

    didn't get a pm myself but that's ok as the person before me was being picked for by proxy but would suggest if possible to send one to the next person as it'll keep things flowing better.

    Very Happy with Kane, solid starting point I can build around
