Didn't even notice this thread running until now. Without the word draft in the title, I assumed it was one of those fantasy football leagues
Anyway, good stuff Trend. Happy to see my consortium idea going down well. That's how the Battle of the Club Sides draft worked and it went pretty well. Less pure as Claus points out, but definietly better balanced and fairer on all. As I said over PM, I'm also totally FOR Liverpool being included in either scenario.
I had one other idea I meant to send you... would it be possible to do a separate tournament for the second teams? So these teams get their chance to shine without depending on a good draw or a good wildcard. I know it would mean extra work for you, but I'd be really interested to see who the best of the rest are.
Yep Betty, like you said in your email, the simulations of running the first style league made it clear that the consortium approach with Steals and separate point system for subterfuge fun was a better approach. People will have to get used to newness, but will enjoy building their teams more.
And everyone is in the same boat with their second teams.
Was thinking of turning it into a
Europa League draw actually, available for both the 32 Team Champions League Limit --- but once out - Fall to a new Cup chase. Just those teams. It solves both problems - structure and competition.
But I could not reconcile the point totals in the overall Managerial Rankings (especially after adding a new subterfuge system).
Thoughts?
