Draft CL Draft Sign-up Thread and Discussion

The picks


Now onto the admin side.

  • The idea is to pick a team of 11 players from the Champions League era
  • You will be looking to pick the best players you possibly can for your team for all areas: goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and attackers
  • The player is picked based upon their performances at their time for the season you chose him for (i.e. if you pick Andriy Shevchenko for AC Milan, his form at Kiev and Chelsea does NOT come into the equation during the competition).
  • You need to select at least one player from the top 5 league in Europe: Premier League (England), La Liga (Spain), Seria A (Italy), Bundesliga (Germany) and Ligue 1 (France).
  • For the season that the player is picked, he must have reached at least the quarter final stage of the competition
  • Each player, must have played in at least one Champions League final.
  • Number 1 gets first pick, Number 2 gets second pick, Number 3 gets third pick and so on....
  • When offline, each member will get 2 hours to make their pick, if you miss the window then your pick will be chosen by the Rexdomizer ™.
  • If the next picker is online and active in discussion he has only 20 minutes to make his pick
  • The game will be frozen each night at 9pm GMT and resume at 9am GMT the following morning. You are still free to make your pick in this period if you want to but are under no obligation to do so.
  • The draft order will be drawn at random and will follow the 3rd round reverse snake format. So the same as last time where we flip the order after the second round. This should stop anyone building up an unfair advantage by going first.
  • The season of your player must have reached one of the below stages depending on when that season falls...
Prior to 1994-95: Quarter finals
1994-95 to 1998-99: Semi finals
1999-2000 to 2002-03: 2nd group stage
2003-04 to present day: Quarter finals

  • AGAIN, You need to draft a starting XI and five outfield substitutes. The 17th round will consist of backup goalkeepers. You have to draft one Goalkeeper in the first 11 rounds.


That’s it for now. The game will hopefully start at 12 noon GMT on Thursday. That should give everyone enough time to figure out the rules and make plans. We may start earlier depending on sign up.

As I’ve said above there will be a definitive result this time! I’ve set up a custom league ready to be simulated, I just have to add your players once selected and fingers crossed we’ll have the results and champion before the Leeds match 🙏

Thanks everyone and enjoy the game!

Iftarsenal, LOL. @Sapient Hawk must be stewing he didn’t think of that one. You have my complete support for the name alone. May your success be as profound as your hunger.

Idk how you guys expect to maintain your fast and hold your tongue while seeing the absolute dross that AM gonna be picking.
Looking forward to @Riou picking Sterling at DM and Robben at CB.
@Oxeki probably picking an all Real Madrid team and @Sapient Hawk posting his whole team at once :lol:

Also as Lucas Digne and Ledley King never featured in a CL final, I wonder who are going to be the surprise picks of @GDeep™

I just want to know is there going to be jury voting because i want my chance to trash all your teams and grind my axes and vendettas and pretend to be fair? Either way I won’t be picking but will definitely be on your thread for the post pick hazing. Best part of the whole draft experience

I guess RexB LLC might have thought of this, but on behalf of forum, I can say we can offer 1000 AM$ to the winner and 500 AM$ to the runner up. If you wonder what are AM$, then its the likes/reactions.

@Aevi and @Trilly may be particularly interested in this award then ;)

Yeah I unfortunately cannot put up a cash prize although I have lots of shares in Silicon Valley Bank up for grabs!

Cash value tbd…
