Due to the fixture list, by Wednesday I could have a league record of Played 3, Won 3 with 3 default wins!

Obviously through no fault of my own (Carling week 1, Bull busy week 2, Shuntingsheep week 3) but what would happen to my side if those two were draftyed out? And for the rest of the season?

by sodhat Tue 27 Mar 2012, 11:28 am

Surely it'd be like when a club goes bust in real life - all points and goals scored by playing those no longer in existence are removed.

You'd keep the Bull result though

by **Afro** Tue 27 Mar 2012, 11:29 am

Nah, doesn't take two minutes to Google a name and get a feel for the player.

Your not talking about spending half an hour watching Youtube videos, more getting a feel for general feeling for a player.

If you google Mertens, I am sure you could spend a few minutes looking at a few stories on him and get an understanding of how good he has been this season

I feared that'd be the answer.

So despite making the effort with my tactics on a consistent basis (even done proper tactics for the Shuntingsheep match just in case a new manager was found) I'd be the one who loses out the most? To the tune of 6 points and £4M in win bonuses?

Yeah but you are relying on people to do the same. Mertens looks quality but I would sooner have Gabby in that position. He may not be as good as Mertins but he is "of the now" and more well known. This is the problem Fan had.....all well and good flaunting your knowledge but if others don't do the same then you are stuffed.

A season on here is a lot quicker than a season in RL, and I can't snap up Mertins on the off chance that come ED Season 3, he gets snapped up in the summer and becomes the next Messi.

I wouldn't have thought your win bonuses would come out - just the points which would affect others too (although clearly you're the unluckiest)

Morning

are you branching out into a new business Nicko?

No no Gav, its the company I work for. We lawn care products. But also supply top prem clubs like Man United, Man City, Arsenal and some rubbish ones like Blackburn and Wolves

That is my case in point.

I agree that you play the game in front of you and that means having players who are rated by the other managers.

However, if other managers are not open to learning about new players, then the league becomes a closed shop of Premier League, a bit of La Liga and the world stars.

If it hadn't been for the likes of Fan, players like Vidal would not carry the rating they have now.

You need both kinds of manager and both sides to be more open to the other.

afternoon, so what we talking about this afternoon?

by TwisT Tue 27 Mar 2012, 1:59 pm

TwisT wrote:Do you think people in Fan's and InTheFastLane teams should be drafted out? No one seems to want the managers jobs and players that we want in those teams are just going to no use.

Either let them be up for sale or, my view, draft them out. Apart from the star players.

Should come to three extra footballers per team. Gav knows what I am talking about as we had a draft in WWA.

Hopefully the above. A WWA style draft could work. It seems like we are never going to get managers for those two clubs.

by sodhat Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:00 pm

What about teams that are already close to their squad limits though?

Problem here is that with no release function all you can do is wait for a lawyer. Unless as part of the draft there was an option to dump a player for a draft pick in advance.

by Guest Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:02 pm

In WWA we increased squad sizes to cater for the draft

by sodhat Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:03 pm

That works too. I back the idea of a draft personally. So long as I'm #1 pick.

by Fernando Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:08 pm

Can i suggest an idea to make a fair draft?

Get someone to number all the players 1- 40 however many there is then someone else make a list of order and then say you can choose 3 numbers and which ever player is that number you get.

So say YI justs 33.16.2
He'd get who ever is them numbers

by sodhat Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:10 pm

Sorry Nando, it's been decided I'm #1 pick and the rest of you can suck it.

by Guest Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:10 pm

I prefer Nando's idea. Keeps it fair

by TwisT Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:13 pm

Gav wrote:I prefer Nando's idea. Keeps it fair

Maybe...but you could end up with three GK's Laugh

I am fine with how to do it as long as no star players are involved. Just those that cost less than 15M (both Fan and ITFL were not present for the 17.5M fee increase).

The star players can then be open for normal TP bids then

by sodhat Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:13 pm

Gav wrote:I prefer Nando's idea. Keeps it fair

We'll still have to make an order for draft participants however, and I'm guessing everyone will have to be around at a similar time?

Not really..the WWA draft went on for several days. When people come online and it was their turn they then picked. Then you wait for the next person. We are all pretty regular on here so I doubt it would take more than a day or two. Just depends if someone is busy for those two days and can't get on. Which means we are waiting for them to make their pick.

by Guest Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:16 pm

With the WWA draft we just took it and turns to pick and just waited for our turn. I think it was completed in 3 days with 14 people each picking 2 guys 1 at a time.

by **Afro** Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:30 pm

Happy to help as an independant random number apply-er if needed over the next 2.5 days

by Marky Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:39 pm

Cant believe the WWA thread got locked Laugh

by Guest Tue 27 Mar 2012, 2:40 pm

Just for a time out Marky. Best to forget about it all. thumbsup

It's not like that. You just give him a time and a place and then you pull up next to his car, wind down your window, and exchange your money for a brown bag full of seeds. Not shady at all.

Where are Nick & Viva anyways, they been quiet this week.

Nick is on the streets of Wolverhampton in an overcoat shilling iffy lawn care products.

My lawn care is the best in the business!
Im currently doing a quote for a Prem Club for some Perimeter Netting (behind goal so people dont get whacked by the ball) and I asked the groundsman if it was to stop little kids in the stand getting their wrist broken, he said nah It to stop Sylvan hitting balls in the canal at the training ground.

by Guest Tue 27 Mar 2012, 3:01 pm

Sign him up Cherries!
