Took Lobo loads of drafts to get a W but it took me around 5 to get my first W. Fantasy Dinner Party drafts matter.

I've got a Survivor Series draft win mate, the holy grail. And a football one, so I'm ambidextrous.

Is Survivor Series something to do with wrestling? That’s the pits. Football one I’ll give you.

I think I have by far the longest winless streak.

Probably 0-40 or something close to that by now.

Betty Blue · « **Reply #4685 on:** April 16, 2021, 03:23:29 pm »

I just attempted a re-count up until the present, but may have fucked up somewhere....

Sir Psycho - 23 pre 2015 + 9 more after = 32 winless drafts
Won the Footballing Duos & Partnerships draft with XabiArt in Feb 2017.
Followed by 9 more busts going solo.

El Lobo - 20 pre 2015 + 19 after = 39* drafts
Won the 2020 Summer Transfer Draft in August 2020.
*However, there was a controversial drawn final with him back sometime in 2016 which may or may not count as a win.

New entrants -

Max is on 17 with no wins (he started sometime in 2015, but has taken multiple breaks)

Tubby got up to an impressive 26 without a football draft win until he won Max's XI Degrees of Separation Draft in July 2020
Tubby did win the Cartoon draft back in 2016 though, thanks to the Thundercats, Inspector Gadget, Samurai Jack, Terrahawks, Ox Tales, and Godzilla.

I have definitely done drafts before 2015. Maybe it was mostly cricket drafts but rare few football drafts too. I remember doing a bunch of sheep drafts and transfer drafts circa 2012

Btw, I only chose 15 draft losses as my tentative estimate since I have been drafting for about 3 years (and about 5 drafts per year) --- although I did have a banned period so I am not sure if 15 is exact...

Gonna have to do a lot more losing if I am going to win the honor of KING OF THE LOSERS!

Trendisnotdestiny · « **Reply #4691 on:** April 16, 2021, 04:44:10 pm »

Has anyone ever run the "the biggest losers draft"? Where the goal is to draft the absolute worst players ever in the history of the game?

Would be fun to see who people think was the worst of the worst.

I'm sure we did one along those lines....and that Jordan Tremenderson/Klippety Klopp guy used it as a recurring them through one of his many profiles whenever he drafted

You're no longer in the drafting fraternity anyway after shitting out of Trends last draft, so your opinion is as valid as AWWYCs

I'll have it as an asterix like the old shared Charity Shields

2* football draft wins plus 1 rassling

Aha, interesting. If I can be arsed I'll do another count of the pre-2015 drafts to find out your true number of defeats.

I’ve won football, cricket and rugby drafts on here. I’m an all rounder. A Beefy Botham. A Daley Thompson. All round guru.

Trendisnotdestiny · « **Reply #4698 on:** April 16, 2021, 06:30:46 pm »

You guys ever done a pro family draft? You would only have 5 rounds of drafting + 1 Wildcard pick at the end.

1. Father-son
2. Grandfather-son
3. Twin or fraternal brothers
4. Brother-sister (women's national team),
5. Uncle-nephew

Might get some really interesting combo's and you have to start each member of the family regardless if one was shite and the other was worldly...

More ideas for smaller drafts lads -- these are really fun.

Let's do a Betty draft. You can only pick players that you have never drafted before.

I don't think I have won a football draft, but a Survivor Series win with Hulk Hogan on my team surely puts me top of the leaderboard.

How about a winner's winners draft ---

Only those with 5 or more wins is eligible - but everyone in the community votes.

In honor of ESL - we call the Top 6 draft -- top 6 draft winners plus 2-4 hangers on compete for the Biggest Winner Award

As someone aiming for being the winningest- biggest loser, I'll run it

Maybe there are not as many as 6 or 8? Maybe Sarge, you are right at the top?

Right next draft 4 of Clubs v2. We'll go with:

Real Madrid
Juventus
Ajax
Borussia Dortmund

Same rules apply from the previous version. All players will be judged on their times and what they won at these said clubs. If a player you chose played for more than one of these clubs then we judge them on the club you chose him for.

All clubs must be represented in your selected XI.

I just thought of a "Multi Million Pound fuck yourself draft"

No players that have been signed anytime in their career for more than £10 mill - Post 00's players only.

Just to see what teams people come up with

I think it's a lot easier than it seems because of old fuckers moving for low fees at the end of their career. For example you can get pretty much any Brazilian of the 90s/00s that way. Maybe you could ban free transfers? That would help get closer to the draft I think you're aiming for.
