Same as any other Draft but we pick 18 players from Premier League History and we play 15 games Home 15 away using your subs each week if you want. 30 games to coinside with a League season every game running for a week and played from saturday to saturday.

16 Plyers only or 32 with Manager & Assistant Manager.

Additional Rules can include a fixed number of players who played for any one Club. Say Michael Owen he counts as Liverpool & Man Utd player so only 2 more from those Clubs?

Rules:

1. Players must have 50+ Premier League appearances.
2. Your Squad must be made up of 2 GKs, 7 DFs, 6 MFs & 3 Fds.
3. No more than 3 Palyers for any one Club.
4. At Christmas we can play 3 Wildcards picking players who have a) Not been picked already & b) Signed for Clubs after we started in August.
5. The season will be set out in Leaguge format: Pld W L D F/A +/- Pts.
6. Final Team selections must be in by midnight every Friday night.
7. We will play 15 games at Home 15 games away.
8. Subs can be used every weeek so your team can change to suite the opposing teams.
9. We pick 18 players from Premier League History.

That's one long draft! Doubt it would maintain interest over such a long period of time.

Thats why you could have a Manager & an Assistant Manager & Possibly a DOF

Sorry to be a pain in the neck but is there a link o the rules and regs? Don't want to make a complete tit of myself (even more than usual)

Fair, and honest fight, in this draft?

Hazell · « **Reply #17 on:** July 8, 2012, 09:23:32 PM »

Would it be an idea to have players who have played a certain number of Premier League games, so as to have a greater chance of players who have made an impact in the Premier League as opposed to some who may have had better careers outside of it?

Sarge · « **Reply #18 on:** July 8, 2012, 09:23:39 PM »

Can do, 50+ maybe.

Any ideas lads send them this way. Open to all.

campioni · « **Reply #22 on:** July 8, 2012, 09:25:58 PM »

Count me in.

Seeing as its the first one, I think it might be better to do just one round of games ie 16 players, 15 games. Just to see how it goes first. If it works alright then maybe expand it to home and away games?

Sarge · « **Reply #23 on:** July 8, 2012, 09:26:10 PM »

Y2J makes it 10. It would be a good idea to get an assistant for this as it will run from July 2012 to May 2013.

WEST HAM PAUL · « **Reply #25 on:** July 8, 2012, 09:37:00 PM »

Ill give it a go .

I do think pairing up may be a good idea as over 30 weeks people can for whatever reasons be away for a week or two.

So joint managers really best to work together . Once draft is done then each week it's just tweaking the team.

Agree with a limit on games played ie 50 or 100 in the premier league.

In fairness, how many people take any notice of the criteria 'based' on Premier League experience.

People just see players, and vote.

Its for the players not the voting, if we set the criteria then the voting follow that, Edgar Davids wont be selected as he was 1. Shite in the PL 2. Did not play 50+ games in it.

StevenLFC · « **Reply #30 on:** July 8, 2012, 09:59:27 PM »

Not sure how you can say 'only 3 from each club'. For example if I picked Sol Campbell does he count as one of my three for Arsenal, Tottenham and Portsmouth?

Maybe they should only count as having played for a club if they've made over 50 Premier League appearances for them?

Minimum/maximum quotas certainly make the selections more interesting though, I loved the tactics involved in the Team GB draft.

I'm sure Campbell for example must have played 50 games for all three clubs though. Seems a bit mad that he'd cost you a player from 3 teams.

Base it on the club which he made most league appearances for?

Rules:
2. Your Squad must be made up of 2 GKs, 7 DFs, 6 MFs & 3 Fds.
Thoughts?

Would it not be better to have 2 GK, 5 DEF, 5 MF, 3 FDs and 3 Optional or 2GK, 6DF, 6MF, 3FD, 1 Optional?

7 defenders seems a little excessive.
