    Could do a "special round" where you get to choose a legend? And might be good to put this in round 2 to offset the advantage of whoever gets first pick

    If it's the current PL I think this could be offset by having a few legends rounds as such. Have an all time PL and then later on a current European and then an all time European or something. Obviously a bit of tweaking as there could be some superteams with what I've just suggested.

    i'll throw my hat in if you need someone.

    All time PL with Legends round would be my vote.

    Just throwing it out there but I would say a current PL draft with 16 players would be difficult. Think of the 16 best right backs in the league, I for one would find it difficult to vouch for someone like Martin Montoya or Simon Francis to start right back! And we will end up with those type of players in our teams more than likely.

    This is a good point

    And this is a good solution. Maybe about 3 or 4 "special rounds"?

    I would happily do current with 4 legend rounds split evenly along the draw. Seems a fair compromise on the face of it.

    That's why I wanted to change to all time PL.. there just isnt enough players in the fullback and goalkeepers positions.. even depending on formation the other positions would be awful too

    That's a good idea alright as it would make people think about which area to use the legends

    I would say think of the players at their absolute best in the PL. Obviously there will be room for discussion on longevity and such. That would be up to the poster to argue in the match-up threads. People can then vote for whichever they think is better.

    Anyway you are first up redzerdrog make your pick inside the 24 hours and PM Liam O

    I think he would have been the first pick for many, played all across the top for United too so can easily work your team around him when it comes to the tough picks

    Was interested in seeing when Keane went. I expected him to be in the top 5 picks.

    There is one more I'd expect to be in the top 5 and after that's it's anyone's guess

    Pick made and PM sent to Ferris.

    Should be a punishment for missing a pick, give an incentive not to miss it.

    He should go last this round and back to his assigned position in round two imo.

    Or else be replaced by someone else who wants to play and put them in on the next pick.

    Just an idea, ultimately decision of the poster who is running this

    Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,358 ✭✭✭✭SlickRic


    Normally the poster who missed the pick (in previous drafts I've been part of) would get a second chance at the end of the round.

    If still a no show, then a decision would be made on taking part in the rest of the draft.

    Yeah it's just do you give the guy who missed the position of 16th and he gets the advantage of the double pick and it takes that away from the poster who had that advantage originally.

    So you punish the 16th person for something which was no fault of their own.

    I think what we'll do is wait until they come round in the draft picks again and when's it's their turn they pick twice next time.

    The punishment for missing will be that there's a huge amount of players going to be gone. If they miss the next pick we'll sub in one of the reserve posters and let them do a double pick

    A) he should be able to make his round 1 pick when back online imo.
    Makes his round 2 pick in the normal order

    B) if he not back online before end of round 1, the reserves comes in and makes his round 1 pick.
    Then makes his round 2 pick in the normal order it would have been due for the original poster

    If he not back by the end of the round the reserve should come in then because you leave it any longer and there no point even getting involved

    Personally I think B is a little bit harsh on the reserve coming in who will be at an immediate disadvantage picking 16th in round 1 and 13th in round 2. Almost no point in playing for them, their team would be considerably weaker than all others after 2 picks.

    The reserve shouldn't be punished / disadvantaged. The poster who missed their pick should be (if they end up playing).

    The reserve coming in should be given a fair crack and get 16th pick round 1 and 1st pick round 2 imo.

    The person who was scheduled to be 16th/1st is going to 15th/2nd - it's much of a muchness imo, and not unfair on them when it's a totally random draw.

    That's my take, but again incognito man should decide

    Or a compromise would be if the missing in action poster isn't back here saying he wants to play by the time of the 15th pick, then the reserve comes in at this point taking 15 / 2.

    Personally don't see a huge difference between 15/2 and 16/1 but if the 16th poster feels it's unfair to lose their double pick this could be a solution

    It's not going to effect me in the slightest but don't agree that the reserve should get his 2nd round pick 1st. It disadvantages everyone else that was due their 2nd round pick before them

    I doubt there will be anything to worry about this is it was last online yesterday. When he comes online he makes his pick.

    If he doesn't come back by end of first round then a reserve should take over for him.
