Topic: Draft Towers

Roma over Lazio any day.

[Betty Blue]

Eusébio cheese clause? Il questo formaggio e non mangiabile, basta!

Otherwise I was thinking about a Rome-Naples draft sometime, maybe we could have a four with those three clubs and Fiorentina to make Lastrador and Drinks Sangria shoe-ins for participation?

I was also thinking an Italian hipster four of clubs edition would be fun. Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina, and Napoli would be tasty!

Roma were in 6 of clubs as well 

[Samie]

Dickhead!

DS' reaction to someone picking Batigol for Roma due to the Scudetto ahead of his first pick would be worth it alone

Nah. Italian clubs are kinda overdone. People pick players from these clubs in all the drafts anyways. Maradonna, Batistuta, Conti, Veron we have seen the lot.

A german version would be fun.

Maybe a German one that excludes Bayern, BMG, Dortmund and Hamburg.

Maybe Leverkusen, Schlake, Werder Bremen, Wolfsburg, Sttutgart and Kaiserslautern

I wasn't even thinking of those players. I want Casiraghi, Abel Balbo, Fonseca, and Jose Chamot 

I'd be up for a German edition though.

[JordanTremenderson]

I'm keen to play this if there is space. Thanks.

[Linudden]

Schalke, Bremen, Wolfsburg and Stuttgart could be interesting but a little bit out of ideas at the end of those drafts.

For me Atlético, Sevilla, Valencia and Villarreal would be more fun instead. It's a bit more easy to judge them since they had more European success. Also some proper hipster icons (I'm looking at you Riquelme) in those teams

[John C]

So this person must be someone who doesn't actually draft, right? 

Correct.

[Crosby Nick]

Correct.

Hmmm...well that narrows it right down.

[Hazell]

Can't be Phil M. I know he loves these drafts.

[Samie]

What about 4 of Countries? Spin off from the hugely successful series. 

Same rules applies and we go BIG.

Brazil
Argentina
Italy
Germany

[Samie]

Even John C can participate in this one. 

[Linudden]

Pfft too easy 

I do believe the overachiever draft, the combination of:

Denmark
Portugal
Sweden
Uruguay

Would lead to the most interesting of those drafts. The smallest countries to have either won the World Cup, taken home three medals or won the Euros. In fact, that'd probably be a really good field to deal with considering the four countries just top about 28 million people together!

[Samie]

That's the whole point. We want new people do these and if you over complicate things from the start they're less interested and less likely to want to participate.

[Lastrador]

Think I prefer the club version. There’s far more possibilities of blocking, stealing and all around fuckery, which makes it all the much more fun.

[vivabobbygraham]

I didn’t need to be named. Taken as read.

Seconded

[vivabobbygraham]

As one of the gang of three c*nts, along with lobo and a.n. other, it would be my pleasure to return to the fold in this draft in its present convoluted form. I do remember being pipped in a final by Jersey Kopite (fucking deffo influenced by mod wives...John C, spill the beans) but in truth I've missed you gang of knobheads 

[El Lobo]

At least there’ll be no voting controversy with Grandma Bobby about

Hello old man.

Translation: Samie's brain is fueled on pizza and he doesn't want anything remotely complicated  that could cause him to blow a gasket!!

What was the draft where you a total meltdown?? calling trend every name under the sun and telling him his drafts are crap?!  the anonymous draft, the club one?!

[Lastrador]

So?

[Elzar]

I’ve had a busy couple of weeks but can run one next if needed. Got a new job coming up so might be my last for a while. We got any people are interested in?

Was gonna say there’s no danger of that now

Maybe we can confuse him with a ‘literally pick any player ever’ draft

[Samie]

You're one of the main reason why I want to give up doing drafts all together especially football ones. 

Funny you keep mocking me behind a keyboard I assure you that you wouldn't be doing that face to face.

[Lastrador]

Well, that settles who was behind the infamous "ban this three c*nts" message to John.

[Betty Blue]

Well, that settles who was behind the infamous "ban this three c*nts" message to John.

Who's the third one?

[El Lobo]

I reckon Claus, even though he’s already banned

[Lastrador]

Who's the third one?

Not sure, but I shortlisted myself as a strong candidate. 

[John C]

Samie has nothing to do with Cuntgate

Up the Reds.

We'll keep eliminating posters till we get to the bottom of this.

[Lastrador]

Yep, Hazell's next. He's been suspiciously quiet ever since cuntgate surfaced.

[Crosby Nick]

Great idea!

Was it !! Amy !!? Sounds like something she’d say.

you've got 44 thousand and 68 guesses left.

Do you want to phone a friend?





Phone Claus you say ......?

[Linudden]

It's all a waiting game here it seems

Any takers for a Portugal/Atlantic Spain draft? In effect: any player representing a Portuguese club or the Atlantic regions of Spain's clubs a minimum of 26 league appearances in either Portugal or those regions of Spain. In effect Portugal's big three, Braga, Las Palmas, Tenerife, Celta, Deportivo, Oviedo, Sporting Gijón, Racing Santander, Athletic, Real Sociedad, Alavés and Osasuna or a smaller club in their respective regions who have played in La Liga such as Compostela or Eibar. Of course, smaller Portuguese clubs might have had some gems, who knows? The region of Navarre is not on the Atlantic proper, but ends a few miles away from the coast and is part of the greater Basque-speaking region anyway so I'll include it.

That's a bit more than just a Portuguese draft but still challenging enough.

With these criteria Ronaldo is eliminated because he played 25 league games for Sporting We could choose to include all players being born or raised in those areas too though.

I'd love to host it but depends on interest. I think the challenge can be quite a fun one and we have enough hipster clubs in there to make it work. There's a total of 17 million inhabitants, some legendary players featured and quite many trophies won on the west and north coast of the Iberian peninsula after all!

Anyone wants to start a non-footie draft ahead, no problem!

[Lastrador]

It seems there's little appetite for drafting at the moment mate. People are probably a bit burnout. Give it a few weeks and the junkies will come back like those zombies in World War Z.

[El Lobo]

Samies in prison for coming round mine and beating me up, and I’m gonna be in hospital for a good few weeks yet, so we’ve both got plenty of free time.

Was he as big and hard as he claimed?
