I know. Bunch of losers.

Not the draft idea, mate which I think is a good one but the Olympics itself. Always looked forward to it but just not arsed at the mo.

Oh right

I know what you mean, I'm still looking forward to it but not half as much I usually would and yeah, I don't think it's going to be that great given the current situation.

So, an Olympic draft might just help get the juices flowing.....ooh matron

How about a footballympics draft?

Pick a load of events (could do decathlon, heptathlon, could just pick 7/8 events) and then pick footballers for each event. Bale for the 100 meters, Klinsmann for the long jump, Micky Quinn for the shot putt etc

Van Nistelrooy for the Show Jumping.

Yeah, I think it'd be good if we can garner enough interest.

Tom Davies for the skateboarding

Harry Kane for the diving.

That's going to be an extremely competitive field.

The problem being that Olympic football is shite.

Although finally I could get to pick Marvin Sordell in a draft.

More than enough top class players have participated, for everyone to have a good core to their side.

Wikipedia has all the squads, just a case of not picking Richarlison

Sound. Still not picking Richarlison.

New season upon us...Draft season that is.

Idea: Pick players who've won the World Cup/Euros/Copa as a host nation.

Elzar · « **Reply #4903 on:** August 12, 2021, 11:24:09 am »

I'm happy to run one, I was just waiting for this weekend to be done with as I'm not going to be able to come online.

If we can get enough enthusiastic faces for any draft.

So:

World Cups - France 98, Argentina 78, West Germany 74, England 66, Italy 34 and Uruguay 30

Euros - France 84, Italy 68 and Spain 64

Copa America - Brazil 19, Chile 15, Colombia 01 and Uruguay 95. Everything before that is pretty confusing in terms of hosts, winners etc.

Nice'ish idea Samie, but that'll be pretty sparse and we'd end up with a LOT of filler.

Maybe expand it to all continental champions as host nations?

Not true.

Draft Idea #2: We each get given a legendary/top tier Manager and we pick players that played under him (on a first pick basis) and we judge players on what they won during that period and their performances.

I like that. No current active managers allowed though

Good plan

Elzar · « **Reply #4913 on:** August 18, 2021, 02:32:49 pm »

Sacchi
Michels
Paisley
Shankly
Clough
Lippi
Aragones
Dalglish
Eriksson
Ferguson
Capello
Santana
Wenger
Haynckes
Trapattoni
Cruyff

Edit: Just realised that is actually 16, I just stopped when I got bored.

We could randomly assign the managers in secret, so the drafting is a bit of mystery.

El Lobo · « **Reply #4914 on:** August 18, 2021, 02:51:23 pm »

I'd guess we'd more want managers who have managed multiple clubs (well, big clubs) rather than the likes of Sir Bob, Sir Bill and Sir Hard Shoulder Shitter.

Elzar · « **Reply #4915 on:** August 18, 2021, 03:03:45 pm »

Sam Allardyce

Samie · « **Reply #4916 on:** August 18, 2021, 03:15:13 pm »

I think Sir Bobby Robson is deserving to be on the list mate.
