Topic: All Time PL Draft - With a Twist! (Discussion Thread & Sign up)

Just to clarify then…

*There isn’t any minimum appearance requirement? ( Ali Dia )

*Players are judged at their peak in the PL, not solely on the club we select them for?

Correct

Damn, there goes my Mario Jardel pick.

[Betty Blue]

Honestly, I find it astonishing you are putting an appearance minimum in and ruling out Premierleague legend Amir Zaki. Never mind.

Does Nabil El Zhar qualify?

[JordanTremenderson]

Does Nabil El Zhar qualify?

How old is he now? Still a youngster probably.

[Lastrador]

Had to ride the Mo train.

[Hazell]

Had to ride the Mo train.

Why not pick him for Chelsea?

[Lastrador]

How old is he now? Still a youngster probably.

Not as young as Jesse Lingard though.

[Lastrador]

Why not pick him for Chelsea?

Because I'm an idiot.

Changed it now, thank you honey buns.

[Hazell]

Just hope you remember when it comes to voting.

[Lastrador]

I will, though I'll have to ignore the atrocity you committed on the last draft. 

[Hazell]

I will, though I'll have to ignore the atrocity you committed on the last draft. 

I've committed so many drafting atrocities so you're gonna have to narrow it down

[Lawnmowerman]

what the actual flip??  thought there was a minimum appearance for the club selected.

[JordanTremenderson]

Players judged how they were in PL

No minimum appearances

The flip is you need one per team, small twist granted!

[Crosby Nick]

Talk about a rose between two turds.

[Lawnmowerman]

If we're gonna pick players, some who are synonomous with one particular club, then we should have insured there was a stipulation to guarantee he represented them.

[Lastrador]

I can't even type it without shuddering, a shared... win.

You can choose the club they played for (hence Salah for Chelsea - obviously he thrived at LFC but it's a loophole and all drafts have loop holes).

It's the same for everyone.

[Sarge]

Las has had a mare there, Mo at Chelsea done nothing.

[tubby]

We're judging on their time in the PL, not at a specific club, so he's gets our version of Mo.

[Linudden]

We're drafting players, not how they did at one particular club. I think Tremenderson should make the players selected and the clubs for each drafter in separate lists to avoid confusion and people voting on Salah's Chelsea time et cetera.

[Sarge]

Ahh here, thats fucking pointless so, pity would have backed off it that was the rule.

[Linudden]

I think we might should've at least imposed a five-hour time limit in the first round at this rate

[Betty Blue]

I'm going to judge everyone's players on the club they pick them for just to be an arsehole.

[Crosby Nick]

Fine by me because Georgi Hristov was a One club Barnsley legend.

[JordanTremenderson]

I'm sure Lastrador will change his team to LFC for Salah if people would rather players were picked with the club they thrived most with in the PL.

We've just started so if that's case do that.

I'm easy either way.

[Sarge]

Makes sense to be honest.

[JordanTremenderson]

We'll do that then, I'll update the rules thread.

[Sarge]

Not been a pain but whats the point in picking a player for a Club if it makes no difference.

[Lastrador]

Yeah change Mo back to Lfc, no prob. I was kind of realising it might not have the best strategy after all. So Haz no sympathy vote from me.

[Lawnmowerman]

Makes more sense maybe if not a min appearance thing, then if a player has played for two teams, the team he has the most appearances for is the team he would be picked for

[Hazell]

I can't even type it without shuddering, a shared... win.

Oh yeah

Well I tried.

[Betty Blue]

Because once you pick from that club you can't have any more from them. So while Salah is fantastic, Labrador now can't pick Torben Piechnik. It creates a bit of strategy. A round 16 Liverpool player would be a hell of a lot better than a West Ham one for example.

[Linudden]

There should be no rules on that. If a player appeared for a club in the Prem, he's available for that club and should be considered for their PL career. At this point it's diluted to the point where it might as well be a soup. Let us choose tactics freely

I will still persist in asking for separate clubs and players list so any voters will have to research that themselves to avoid any such problems as in 'he sucked at that club therefore booooooh'

It's not about them sucking at other clubs but about them getting picked for clubs they rarely got picked for in real life!!

[Drinks Sangria]

Sorry guys, was at a wedding away from home yesterday, completely forgot we were drafting. How many picks have I got?

Ah, just one. I won't delay in such a way again.

[Crosby Nick]

Ooh look at me. I’ve got a social life. Pathetic.

You don’t belong in the Draft threads.

It's true. I've told the missus that in 2022 I'll be producing a drafting calendar and not to even approach me about anything on those dates.

[Elzar]

Won't she just ask when the final version is going to be produced?

[Elzar]

The totally football show had a little discussion on how Salah is the nearest thing to Henry we have seen, and those first 2 picks backs that up.

Drafts are always very much "in the moment", but Salah is so deserving of that number 1 pick.
