Represented Liverpool in the Premier League draft
« on: September 26, 2021, 05:07:40 pm »
Inclusion: Anyone in a Liverpool matchday squad in a league appearance from August 1992 up until today is eligible to be drafted.

Considerations: The players are judged on their whole careers/their prime like in any other draft not just what they did in the Premier League for Liverpool. Therefore, those who were part of the 80's golden years should be considered for those too and not just their Premier League form. Any player who only sat on the bench but did well elsewhere is avalilable.

Draft order: Snake draft with a twist:

You choose your draft order upon sign-up.
The final pick will go first in both round 2 and 3 before reverting back to a rolling snake from 4-11 to even out the odds and to give more cheese to everyone  :D
The latter picks in the round will get possible byes to the quarter finals to further incentivise people picking later draft picks.

If people aren't liking me being in charge, I'll gladly hand the running over to someone else if required. I've placed myself in the middle as to not get any first-round bye but also not to go first.

Absolute ceiling: 12 participants due to a limitation on available players in some spots.
Preference if can't fill all twelve: 10
Minimum requirement: 8

Draft order:

1. tubby pls
2. Sheer Magnetism
3. XabiArt
4. deFacto
5. Linudden
6. Adz LFC
7. Nick
8. Poetry In Motion
xx
10. Max_powers
11. Lobo
12. Hazell

Let's sign up and build some cracking Liverpool teams from the modern era  :wave

Go on then



Or in this case.....11th  8)
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Yeah considering the oldies are still goldies and will probably go high as well it's very hard to miss out on a potential FIFA World XI player of the year  ;D

So judging Damien Plessis on that one game against Arsenal in 2008, right?
