Topic: Betty's Christmas Football Draft Draft Sign-up and Discussion Thread

[Drinks Sangria]

When are we thinking of starting, just so I can plan out when I need to be available for?

[Samie]

Max said Boxing Day. 

[Drinks Sangria]

Max said Boxing Day. 

Perfect, thank you.

[Samie]

Scotland is part of the Arctic Circle right?

[Max_powers]

Scotland is part of the Arctic Circle right?

It just misses out.

[Crosby Nick]

Scotland is part of the Arctic Circle right?

Arctic Roll maybe.

[Lawnmowerman]

If you need another category how about, a player from a from a country inside the Arctic Circle:

 The Arctic region covers parts of eight countries: Canada, Greenland (Denmark), Iceland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Russia, and the United States.

love it nick. that's everyones first round pick sorted

[Samie]

Merry Christmas dickheads. 

Lets get this started Maxwell, seems like we won't be getting the 16th player.

Sounds good! Will get the draft order sorted and selection thread up. No time limit for round 1 and Until we are after the game.

[Max_powers]

The selection thread is up and running!

That’s a strong bottom

That’s a strong bottom

That's what Santa has bought you 

[Betty Blue]

Not to confuse everyone with Max saying 1 hour per pick, but I told everyone 2 hours over PM when inviting people. Think a slower draft over the holidays would be nice. If it starts to drag we can switch to 1 hour. As always we'll do the 'everyone gets their first pick'/no time limits rule in round 1.

Also, a reminder to all to provide picture evidence with your picks for [1] red shirts, [5] the festive player, and [7] green shirts. No picture, no pick. Even if wiki proves your player has played at Arsenal for example, you still need to post a picture of them in the red of Arsenal for it to be an accepted pick. Going to be strict on this. The idea is to make for a fun picture filled Christmas-y selection thread 

Any questions ask in here or drop me a PM.

Happy Christmas, you gits!

Ok I will change it to 2. No rush.

[Samie]

"A player who has played with Roque Santa Cruz and Juan Pablo Angel?" Fuckin' hell this is going to be a dog shit pick. 

[Betty Blue]

Ok I will change it to 2. No rush.

Cheers mate. Let's see how it goes. I'm fine with one hour if others prefer that. But I'm guessing we'll all be a little less active on here for the next week or so.

You'd be surprised! I researched most categories in advance and this one has some absolute gems in it 

[Lawnmowerman]

don't think ive ever had laudrup in a team ive picked so why not. pm'd max

[Lawnmowerman]

Lionel Messi [4,11]

'what is messi's actual height without the growth hormones...'

[Chakan]

I knew Laudrup wouldn’t last long

[Samie]

Is their any point to the Arctic Circle any more? 

[Chakan]

Keep things cold?

[Card Cheat]

This looks daft as tits 

Room for one more?

[Samie]

Yeah, We need 16, so you'd be last to pick in Round 1. 

[Card Cheat]

Sweet, cheers mate

[Betty Blue]

Haha perfect summary. Great to have you on board, mate 

[Lawnmowerman]

I knew Laudrup wouldn’t last long

thought he'd be first pick

[Crosby Nick]

Tons of options, from every country (even the shit ones!).

[Chakan]

thought he'd be first pick

Well he was gonna be mine if it came to me.

[Max_powers]

Sweet, cheers mate

I have added you. Welcome to the draft.

[Max_powers]

Yep there is atleast 5 or so all-time great players from these countries and another 10 really good ones.

[Lawnmowerman]

i can think of one fella that some would say is an all time great but i would find it hard to dislike another footballer more. you would never ever see me pick him in a team. can't for the life of me think of who the other 4 or so are!!

[Hazell]

I can think of about 3. Including Laudrup.

[Gerry Attrick]

The gap between Messi and Laudrup is bigger than the gap between Laudrup and some other Scandi options for my money.

Maybe all-time great is a strong word. But drafting world faves definitely, there are many of them.

What’s Junior Hoilett ever done to you?

If the top few go, just park that category for a journeyman down the line and focus on an unpicked category.

I’m talking like a plan. I didn’t really pay attention to the categories bar the Christmas pun ones.

Laudrup is streets ahead of everyone else in that category. Great pick. There are definitely some other top picks, but most are from a forgotten era which will get you zero love on RAWK.

The pressure is on for you in this category. I expect a Christmas miracle and nothing less.

there's 14/15 decent players that can be filler for teams. i thought the other categorys have better filler than that one though. maybe i'm wrong. i haven't researched one bit.
