RULES copied from last year - putting some changes in bold.
-Snake draft. 22 rounds. So you'll have essentially two players per position if you choose. NOTE, you must have a minimum of two goalkeepers.
-We won't be drafting managers. You're the manager, so your formation, tactics, etc.
- Open to No judges but would like to know in advance if we are going to do simulation again post draft.. That said I would say that we should focus on a building a team to both be competitive now and in the future. I guess think of it as we're all new franchises. I would consider things like your players fitting your formation/tactics, having a balanced squad, having players who can take freekicks, penalties, corners, etc. Not about an all star team, but who fits best together.
-Minimum of 2 GKs per team.
-Trades are allowed. One for one trades only though. So a few examples:
---One pick for one pick.
---One pick for one player.
---One player for one player.
---Two picks for one player and one pick.
---One pick and two players for two picks and one player.
Etc, etc. I think that illustrates the point.
ALSO, when you agree to a trade one of you needs to post the deal and the other needs to quote that post and write "agreed", "confirmed" or something of that nature. Until the post is quoted and agreed to the trade has not occurred, but when that happens it's done.
- 8 hours between picks. If you miss one pick, an alternate/waitlist DOF will make the pick but you will not be skipped. Two picks your place in the draft will be subject to review, IE you may be dropped from the draft. Either way please use another member as a proxy if you can't make a pick and if something comes us just PM me. Also, please try your best to keep the draft moving along as quickly as possible. After you make a pick you'll need to make sure you PM the next guy on the list. If their PM box is full, post in the discussion thread that it's their turn. Also, please make sure you check to see if it's your turn to pick just to be sure.
-NO DISCUSSION, hints or otherwise, about undrafted players please.
-The Picks thread is for PICKS ONLY, while the Discussion thread is for everything else.
-The draft will start on TBA at TBA local time for whoever gets the first pick in the draft.

Again, I suggest we do again the best fantasy draft we every did : a top 5 league+rest of the world draft.
We have an EPL draft (with some EPL fans as judges), a Serie A draft (with SA fans as judges), liga, Ligue 1, BL and "rest of the world".
It was by far the best draft we had. 11 rounds for each, only starting XI.
This was not only much more fun, but it increased the knowledge of everyone.

I am certainly open to this too but it would probably be one of the other (which I am also fine with)

The worst.
I had fun but got taken to the cleaners unfairly, Pretty sure the refs are bought.

Just think of it as a way of creating realistic footballing environments. Rampant corruption; FIFA, UEFA, Super League, and HF fantasy drafts...

Hopefully every thing is alright. You will have a place if you change your mind.
I'm in.

Putting you on waitlist since you haven’t done a draft before. Or maybe SJS39 takes you on since he would like to sponsor you. Might have a couple of drop outs so hang tight.

Some of you lazy bastards might want to reach out to some folks. Madridistas like @Power Man and @Scandale du Jour are scared to death of this thing which is music to @Vasilevskiy 's ears. @Evilo is too busy telling us what to do so he can't participate. @Duchene2MacKinnon is probably coming up with a list of average Argentinians that aren't as good as the ones I might draft, but of course he'll tell me otherwise. @S E P H probably has cosplay outings planned. If this continues I'll probably have to suffer some ridiculous trade algorithm nonsense from @Savant because we don't have enough participants.

Evilo cannot participate. He takes guys I like and want earlier than I take them.
