I have another idea while the World Cup draft percolates in the bowels of RAWK draftites....

How about a 2018 Summer Transfer Draft - Pre-World Cup

* Three rounds/Three players none from the same position (i.e. Wanyama, Doucoure & Diawara/Ndidi esque)
* Reasonable, transfers linked to the Prem or LFC --- gives everyone a wide berth and no made up shite
* At the end, the three top transfers will be voted upon on the first couple days of the Transfer thread opening --- whatever they name it this year :)

Whaddaya think ----

Maybe just wait for the World Cup draft now? Starts in just under 3 weeks. Doubt we'd have time to do a Serie A draft, all the voting and then the drafting for the World Cup one in that time?

Not entirely sure where this myth came from that I would run a World Cup 2018 draft! I was only ever interested in running an all-time sheep draft. But my life is VERY busy right now, so I can't commit the time to that. I liked this idea best from a few pages back -

How about a World Cup only draft for the 2018 teams ----  where instead of voting, we take the actual statistics from games played.

Thoughts? 
I did something very similar with a few buddies of mine during the last World Cup and the 2016 Euros. We drafted teams and then the scoring was based on fantasy football (+1 point for an appearance, +2 for playing at least 60 minutes in a game, +5 for a goal etc.). We also threw in a few quirky rules for a laugh, things like +20 points if your player has to wear a head bandage during a game.

Takes a lot of work from whoever's organising it but it's great fun. We'd have to wait a couple months before doing it though, you'd want the squads to be announced and whatnot.

But the level of work needed to organise this is a bit mental. You'd need someone very dedicated to tallying up the scores etc. Unless there's a way of stealing the data from another fantasy football game and grafting it onto this. With the draft format the main difference.

Huh fair enough. I was sure someone said they’d got a special all planned out for the World Cup so to hold fire until they released it. Assumed it was you but can’t find any trace of that message now.

So what do people want to do? Anyone up for running the draft where we take the statistics from the actual games? I would but I’m off on holiday after the groups so would be next to useless.

If not what format could we do? Could do a version of the above but simplified massively to make it easier to run.

I’m thinking points for progressing rounds and a tie breaker could be the goals scored in the team selected.

Or if we wanted to do a voting draft like normal with the odd rule. Maybe have say you have to select a player from each group and each represented confederation (so you need an African, South-American, North or Central American, European and Asian but also need one from every group).

Could make it an all time draft from World Cups although this basically becomes an All time draft, so could say all time winners?

Any other thoughts?
