Author Topic: Cup Winners' Cup, UEFA Cup & Europa League Draft - Discussion thread (Read 42530 times)

Betty Blue · « **on:** March 6, 2018, 10:51:09 am »

- Any player who played in the final for the winning team in the Cup Winners' Cup, UEFA Cup or Europa League is eligible. i.e. no unused subs or squad players or unlucky fuckers who got suspended.

- Player ability will be based on all-time form and not specific to the tournament.

- Each drafter will have 2 hours to make their pick. If you repeatedly hit/break the deadline then your time will be cut short in future rounds. If you're not going to be online, you can always leave picks with another RAWKite.

- Official drafting times are 9am - 11pm GMT. Although you can pick outside of those hours if you're online and it's your turn.

- After you make your pick always (on pain of death) PM the next drafter in the order.

Seems unfair to have Lingard and Rashford in this draft. They're just so much better than anyone else available.

Is voting for full career?

I think so. I can't imagine many remembering the UEFA Cup form of any of the players who weren't are own.

I've sent out a few more Pm's, let's see if my latest blockbuster signing works. I said I'd get PoP through the door and this one is somewhat equal.

Right, go on, then. I'll be the sacrificial lamb in this popsicle stand popularity contest.

Mate he got picked as a #1 pick in an All Time Draft, I'll say he'll be living off that for a lifetime.

So are we judging our players on their overall careers?

Trendisnotdestiny · « **Reply #21 on:** March 6, 2018, 06:03:59 pm »

And what role does creative profanity play in this shitshow of popularity (said King Kenny)!

The concept of a cup winners cup is wild. Why did they get rid of it?

Oh great, the Dick and Dom of the draft.
