Topic: Draft Towers

Yeah, it's a good idea and banning free transfers and one club players (Messi, Maldini, Hibbert) would ensure those types of players won't get picked.

Alternatively you could make it so the player you draft is the one who the fee was paid for. So if you want to sign Ronaldinho for example (moved to Flamengo for 3m in 2011) then you get the out of shape washed up version and not the prime Barca one. Not sure people would vote accordingly, but it would make for a pretty funny draft.

[Drinks Sangria]

Great draft idea. Perhaps post 00s players, never moved for over £10m at any stage of their career - so discounts even those who had decent sized moves late 90s but then lesser fees later in their career?

Or Betty's idea works, you get the version of the player they were at the club they moved to.

[El Lobo]

Excellent idea chaps, the brains trust strikes again 

[Samie]

As usual ignoring my suggestions. 

[Samie]

Nah on the 4 of Clubs V2 then? 

[Sarge]

Test Cricket one.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Im in for it.

That's because you never actually participate in the fecking things!!

[Samie]

A man needs time away from those that he loves.

[El Lobo]

Elzars idea seemed to get a lot more traction, but that 4 of clubs one is a decent back up if Elzars doesn’t get enough 

[Samie]

1 person isn't a traction. 

[Betty Blue]

1 person isn't a traction. 

Well it's more than the zero for your draft 

[Samie]

But mine is a franchise. 

We've had 4 of Clubs, 5 of Clubs and SIX, yes 6 of Clubs Draft's.

It's time to get more creative then. The Queen of Clubs draft. You can only draft from teams with Queen in their name -

Queens Park Rangers
Queen of the South

I'm out of football ones for now, so any other types i am in for, cricket even.

The last Test cricket draft we did I won. But that was only the start of it. Prof built some simulator that recreated all the games with full scorecards abs the works. Then did a version with all of us in the teams.

No shut up, ‘you’re’ all the nerds.

That sounds good I want to win one game, oh the stick would fly.

 Sorry not been on-

My draft idea would be:

Nobody that has moved for a fee of more than £10mill
Player has to have been transferred for a fee (no free transfers)
Players that have never moved clubs arn't pickable
Player has to have played post 2000 (willing to add a wild card of a 90s player that moved for less than 5mill if everyone wants?)

When you pick, you display the highest fee they were transferred for, then everyones squads will have their transfer value total on.

I can run it if people want, but won’t be taking part. Halpy wait for a non-football or Samie’s draft first though.

Good stuff.

Can I also add my suggestion that the player you draft is the one who played for the club that paid the fee? Not just automatically the peak version. i.e. Ronaldinho (who is eligible) is the Flamengo one and not Barca.

Think it might be too easy/cheesey otherwise since lots of legends have moved around for very low fees at the end of their careers.

Absolutely, however my idea was that these players getting picked have NEVER been transferred for more than 10million. I wanted people reaching into the lower depth of players that may not have been drafted before. Or is that too difficult?

Ooooooh I see! I didn't follow that at all. In that case your idea works just fine    I think the more difficult the better at this point given we've drafted every other idea under the sun. Nice to see some different players get picked. There's only so many times you can watch Samie select Ruud Gullit.

Question, can you pick a player based on a transfer that happened in the 90s but the player played post 2000 as well?

Or does the transfer have to occur in the 2000s?

[tubby]

Like the idea but gonna poo-poo Betty's idea of voting not on career peaks.  Everyone will do that anyway and hardly any of us will have seen Ronaldinho at a non-European club, for example.

That's always the go-to excuse, but if we keep that mentality we can never have any new types of draft ever. 

In any case, that's already been scrapped as per Elzar pointing out he meant under 10 million across their WHOLE career. So the likes of Ronaldinho will be out anyway.

[El Lobo]

Yeah I’d go with judging on that players time at the club they moved to

[Hazell]

In please for whatever, shit day, need a distraction this weekend please.

I think the way I am going for the draft (no player that has had a huge transfer fee is picked), then the voting would end up career anyway. The point almost being that these players never had a huge transfer fee yet are still quality.

As you say, people never take the stage of their career in anyway when they see a name.

[Hazell]

Just to clarify, is it that cumulative transfer fees can't above £10m or are you allowed to have, say a player that moved somewhere for £8m and then somewhere else for £6m?
