Topic: RAWK Anonymous UEFA ECL & Europa Draft (Managers Thread) KNOCKOUTS - FINALS

[Lawnmowerman]

Yeah Jordan for god's sake you're forgetting anonymity! To draft anonymous in the usual draft format we would have to pm our picks to trend, and then he would have to post each individual pick for all to see! Do you want him to have a breakdown??!!

[JordanTremenderson]

But we're not drafting one player at a time are we?

We do our XIs.

Just pick one club players and then you don't have to worry about it.

[El Lobo]

Nah we can still steal, the ones at the top can only have three one club exemptions so we can still steal any others

[Crosby Nick]

What if they’re all shit?

[Lawnmowerman]

Looking forward to the second team actually.

[Something Worse]

One club players can't be. So if you have Messi he's locked in.

What if they’re all shit?

At least it'll be pure shit and not "the best ever Porto team, featuring Cristiano Ronaldo and Zinedine Zidane". I will not be voting for Frankenstein teams!

ohhhhhh only 3?  thought all one clubbers were exempt

[El Lobo]

ohhhhhh only 3?  thought all one clubbers were exempt

Nah you can only lock in three

So, for example, if you pick Messi, Iniesta and Xavi as your three one club men then someone else could potentially steal Puyol

[Lawnmowerman]

yeah. I won't be voting for that drug cheat Hobbit version of bill gates messi either. Talk about a Frankenstein

[Trendisnotdestiny]

ohhhhhh only 3?  thought all one clubbers were exempt

3 exemption max  for top teams to go with 2 protections --- 5 players are a core of a team and not every team will have one clubbers...

The rest are available for steals

[Something Worse]

Wait no...that's not what I meant...please don't do that!!!

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Except Xavi and Iniesta played for second teams after their Barca time... but the principle is right.

[Something Worse]

I thought there was no limit? So you could have 11 one club men and nobody would steal anyone.

They could take someone else, right? Eg if I have Barcelona someone could take Coutinho even though he's not in my team?

[Betty Blue]

Question - do the steals have to adhere to the decade restrictions? i.e. If say the Argentine consortium wanted to steal Ronaldinho from the 00s, then that would mean they can only pick 2 more players from that era in their final team. I'm assuming so, as that makes the most sense. But just checking   

[Trendisnotdestiny]

No subterfuge lads... Not yet.  Hold onto your hats

[El Lobo]

No idea what's gonig on.

It honestly isnt rocket science so far

You've got your teams. You pick your team now, if you've got any one club men you can pick up to 3 to not get stolen. And then you can pick another 2 players to be exempt from stealing. I'm sure its going to get a lot more complicated but right now its pretty basic stuff Samie. Do you need to pop round Nanny Bobbys for some help?

Just updated the Protected Players List on the Rules Thread.

Will be updating them as they come in.

Manangers may steal any player from these consortiums not on this list!!!!

Where has all this one club man and up to three being exempt but come from? And if you say “the rules” again I’ll be furious.

Although I think it’s a moot point for me.

[Lawnmowerman]

That Milan consortium is absolutely disgusting

[Elzar]

It’s like when you decide you’ll play a board game with the family and after trying to read the rules you think you might leave it for your dad to sort.

And just like in that situation, it's probably best to just play along and pick it up as you go

For teams ranked in the top half - we are going to pillage them. Ravage them.

But before we do that, they get to protect a few players.  Two kinds:

1.  Franchise tags or Protection for up to 2 players who played for them who they own because of appearances

2.  Exempt 1 club players -- but some consortiums have a lot of those and some do not (i.e. Barcelona has a few; and Real Madrid do not)  --- so we need to balance that

Hence a maximum of 3 one club exemptions ------> this is only during Steals.....

After that, if you want to field a team of 1-club players then have at it 

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Thanks mate.

No Subterfuge yet or even Counter Subterfuge.  This is a blanket statement for all members not directed just at Samie.

Anyone who tramples these rules ---- before lineups get made will get points deducted from them by the commissioner.

[Crosby Nick]

And just like in that situation, it's probably best to just play along and pick it up as you go 

I’ll be out by then!

[Trendisnotdestiny]

I’ll be out by then!

No you will not.  You were assigned a fantastic consortium.

And you secure points three ways:

1. ECL winning games with first team
    ECL winning games with second team

2. Subterfuge points

3. Europa League Tourney

So, I appreciate your levity here, and I agree with Elzar!


1. Lets get the protected few from the Oligarchs of the draft (top 7 ranked teams)

2. Lets watch the carnage as the rest of their teams are pillaged (bottom 8 ranked teams)

*** This will change the underlying competition after this as rankings now are meaningless 

3. Then, lets all plan and build teams as the Empire plans to Strike back and post them according to rules
     
4. Then By Friday, lets reschuffle a bit to cure all injustices in everyones rosters before battle begins

Simples

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Just waiting on Liverpool, Barcelona Consortium Managers before we start STEALING!!!!!

[Gods_Left_Boot]

Are we sure Lahm qualifies for the 1-club rule? He spent two full seasons at Stuttgart (albeit on a two year loan) and he actually got his Bundesliga debut there.

[El Lobo]

Only ever been a Bayern player officially though

[Lawnmowerman]

Yeah still technically Bayern.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Are we sure Lahm qualifies for the 1-club rule? He spent two full seasons at Stuttgart (albeit on a two year loan) and he actually got his Bundesliga debut there.

Lahm has secured his exemption to play for the S German consortium.   The loan was the deciding factor.

Good question.

[AndyMuller]

This is too complex for me this.

[Something Worse]

Just take it step by step, it's really easy.

[Lawnmowerman]

Get assigned a team(s).
Put a team together with players from 70s/80s/90s/00s/10s (1 atleast from each decade, 3 from a decade max).
Decide what two players from that team you don't want people to take away from you.
Find out if any of those players were a one club player (you can hold onto 3 one club players, they can't get stole either)
You'll find out intime if players have been taken from your team. If they have, pick new players to replace them.
Just focus on putting a team together for now

[Crosby Nick]

Trainers you pleb.

[Crosby Nick]

I’ve put my team together but expecting to lose at least half of it.

Who have you got Elmo? PM me.

[Lawnmowerman]

Trainers you pleb.
