Classic forum draft game. 16 people required. Straight knock-out.
How the game works:
You take turns to pick 12 players to make up a team(with 1 sub in any position) and then they “play” against another team and the winner is decided by other people voting for the team they think would win the game.
The picks would be chosen like this (this is an example using 4 random players):This is the order, drawn at random, of the order of the first draft pick.
Player A – First
Player B – Second
Player C – Third
Player D – Fourth
So by the end of round one each of us should have one player on our team. The order of the second draft pick would be
Player D – First
Player C – Second
Player B – Third
Player A – Fourth
After this round each team should have two players. In the third round the picks go in the same order as the first pick with Player A first and the fourth round the picks would go in the same order as the second pick, with Player D first and so on until each person has picked 12 players.
Then, they’ll put them into a team in any formation they choose and justify their decisions for picking certain players. Their team will then be pitted against someone else’s team in a ‘match’
Rules:
1. Squad of 12 players(One player on the "bench" for each round you play)
2. One team can't have more than 2 players of the same nationality. After the first round, this will increase to a maximum of 3 players of the same nationality. There is no limit on which clubs you choose the players from or, which leagues.
3. As this is a 00s version - the player you select must have played at least 5 years of there career in the 2000s. The player in question will then only be judged using there performance during the 2000s when the matches are played.
4. Straight knock out (hence only 8 or 16 players)
5. The person who picks last on turn 1 will get 2 picks, and the order will reverse etc (so there's not a big disadvantage in whatever position you pick)
6. A random number generator will be used to determine order.
7. You'll have 24 hours to pick a player - if you miss the deadline the next person will get to pick). And you then get 2 picks when your turn comes round again
8. Separate threads will be created announcing each fixture and each one will have a poll where people can vote for who they think will win the game. Participants are expected to email me their bios for their players, and match tactics, including their formation diagram so i am able to post it on the OP.
9. When we play the matches, the winning team gets to pick any player from the team they just beat to take with them to the next round. It'll improve the game in the later rounds as you then have more choice with how you're going to line up looking at your next opponent.
With regards to picking and judging players..
If player A was the best player in the 90s, but was very poor in the 00s we'll judge them in the team using how they were in the 00s.
Remember, they have to have played atleast 5 years from 2000 onwards, irrespective of how long they played in the 90s.
As an example, someone like Maldini would be eligible as despite him starting his career in 1985, he played for AC Milan till 2009.
However, someone like Mario Gotze wouldn't be eligible due to only playing 4 years in the 00s so far.
