pepchr18 Posted May 29, 2012 Share Posted May 29, 2012 The Premier League Draft is back.. And this time, much Improved. No Manager. No coaches and most important of all... no players. The only thing you do have is a big fat wage budget. Fifa Orgainzation has decided football is getting to "samey" and have decided to shake things up. All players, and staff have been relieved of there duties and all personnell have been placed onto the free agents list. FIFA has decided that those 20 teams need chairmans, those chairmans are you! All teams will be given no transfer budget but an unlimited amount of wage budget. You may be wondering how you sign players well thats where the title comes in. All players willl be selected through a draft process, just like the nfl but you're selecting your whole team from it! There will be 20 rounds to choose your team from so this might take quite a long time but if you stick with it, its definitely worthwhile. So here is it how it works. Once you sign up, you'll be asked to PM me your 'top 10' preferred players for the first round. Example: Round 1 1. Messi 2. Iniesta 3. Rooney 4. Robin Van Persie etc etc. If none of your ten players are available at that point, then I'll have to ask you to make the pick manually but it generally works out fine. Once we have reached round the end of the round, we will repeat the process again for the next round and so on. It's long winded but it serves a purpose and is typically very fun. This will mean you will have to decide which route you want to take with your team. You will have to decide which positions you think you can obtain the highest quality in the later rounds. Want to draft that midfield genius that can dictate the game in Round 1? It could work, but could you get a player of similar quality in Round 7? Or do you want to draft a centre back in the first round and build a rock solid defence? It could work but will your team lack creativity? All of this has to be taken into account when your making your draft choices, and generally makes for some very interesting scenarios. Trust me its very fun If this is a success, and we have a second season, there will still be a draft. But teams get to choose the top 6 players on the team that they want to keep, the remaining players are released back into free agency to begin another draft. So now all you need to do, is fill out the signup template and state which team and which manager you want to take over and what manager you want, and PM me your top 10 players for the first round, and then when we have 20 people we will begin the draft. Sign Up Form Name: Team You Want: Manager You Want: Initial Draft Position You Want: Example: Name: Pepchr18 Team You Want : Manchester United Manager You Want: Alex Ferguson Initial Draft Position You Want: 8th Pick. Whoever signs up first, will get the choice of where they want to be positioned in the first round. You may want the 1st pick and draft the best player in the world, or you might want a middle pick so that you can stockpile a bunch of quality players. It is all part of the strategy. Let the fun begin! Draft Order (Odd Rounds) 1. Dune297 - Manchester City 2. Spurs+EB - Tottenham 3. Matthew Flynn - Everton 4. Arron Balmer - Newcastle 5. Adam Wilkinson - Southampton 6. Sercan Cali - Liverpool 7. Baba Ginoosh - Fulham 8. Andy ES - Manchester United 9. TheGreatTraveler - Chelsea 10. as260191 - Stoke City 11. Omar Brown - Arsenal 12. Neil Fletcher - West Ham 13.

pepchr18 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 do you get to manage the teams at all? or is it purely a fantasy football selection thing? Its purely just your selections. It would just be too difficult to do a network game with 20 people. It's still fairly fun this way, I'll give a weekly update with the potential if theres a 2nd season for a re-draft where you select the 6 players you want to keep, and then you fill out the rest of the team through the draft.

pepchr18 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 But as soon as the teams have been drafted, I will ask all of you to state your preferred formation, so you have control over virtually everything apart from managing on gameday, and in effect have more control as you can decide who you want your manager to be. I will post regular updates regarding the results so it will still feel interactive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

pepchr18 Posted May 31, 2012 Author Share Posted May 31, 2012 Just to let you all know I am going to start the draft on Saturday at 1 pm, so if we dont have it filled out by then, I will just fill out the computer teams.. Once the 1st round is over, you will have 24 hours to submit your top 10 for the next round. Once we get 5 rounds into it, we'll make it so that your Top 10's turn into something like a top 30 to fill out the remaining rounds as it is unlikely there will be that many conflicts in the later rounds. And if there is, I can just ask you to make a manual selection. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will also be using my youtube channel to upload a "game of the week" every week.
