Been a while alright. Think we overthought the last one though. Keep it simple, and a boring 4/5man team and im in.

I'm happy to run a football Sheep Draft when you guys want one.

Also happy to join in a wrestling one.
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

This becoming a comedy of drafting days gone missing....

Someone grab the reigns, and for Fowler sakes, lets get a large draft going in one of the weirdest months of the year.

I'd suggest either:

A 2010s draft - as we draw this decade to a close 2010-2019, drafting best XIs from this decade - simple concept but could be fun and been a while since we've done such a simple draft

or

Not sure on exactly how it would work but:

A managers draft, so either a manager per round, and we draft players who played under that manager, or we each choose a manager and create a team in their image.

In this idea, I prefer the former, so we'd have 11 managers (open to suggestions for them) and we go from there.


I think as we only have a week to get a draft together, the first one would be easiest to get people excited by.

Thoughts?

How about we do a poll? 

PM all the various combatants -- and get some consensus (without having to wait to see if they read this)?

All these ideas are great -- except I am not willing to get addicted to SM -- at the moment.   Let's get the skeleton formed and we can fill in the rest later.

Draft date?  Participants?  and Specific draft idea...

Just a 2010-19 one would be good

Don’t think Messi and Ronaldo would particularly skew things either, they’re not historically particularly big draft favourites. Now if Mauro Silva or Redondo were a bit younger!
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.

Can we fit Baresi into this?  Because its not a draft without trying to pidgeon him in somewhere  :)
