How about adding a new derby for that last round of ''replacement'' picks ?
That would massively benefit whoever got the first few picks in the replacement.

Still trying to sort out my pick and local piece guys, as I fear I might have made a mistake. 

Sent a PM to Mikey and we'll get it sorted.

Not keen on picks once everyone is done, it's going to disavantage someone - if a player suddenly becomes free, who gets first choice?

What we could do is each pick a position we want to improve --- set it in stone, and then have a random derby assigned 1 out 5 using a randomizer.  This way no one really knows how they can improve their until the die is cast.

Or not.  Comfortable with whatever people think.

That's why I'm saying don't make it a replacements round, but just an additional round. Then we all have one reserve to call on if we want to.

Ok that's fair enough, but the only thing I'd add is that any player picked during the regular draft isn't available to anyone else for the bonus round.

That's what I'm saying. It's just another round from the players who are as yet unpicked. With your other guy dropping to the bench if you want to swap anyone in. I'm not massively fussed though. It's highly likely the player I'm looking at will get picked soon.

I swear to God I saw Marzolini being picked several rounds ago!? Did someone change their pick?

I thought so too.  The visual I have is two picks.

Might have been on the turn --- not sure which end or someone catching up. 

Seem to remember two picks with his being one.

I'm going to go ahead and make my last pick as it's a keeper and Flash already has Alisson.  I've PM'd him, so crack on in a couple of hours if he doesn't pick.

Final lineup. 4-3-3 that can convert to a 4-4-2 with Modric switching left if necessary:

A local, and blue in the nasal cavity.  Would that be "a scurf"?  Scouse and Smurf?

Complete the draft and made sure every side had at least one pick taking Velibor Vasović from Partizan Belgrade. Went in to play in defence for the great Ajax side with Johan Cruyff

Fantastic fantastic pick. That's one of the CB's I was referring to as well. Played in the final against Real for Partizan, before he moved to Ajax.
