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!

Factos. Too many stipulations for me especially with the clocks going forward today.

Got a tip from a reliable source that the wolf of draft street Farzad is going huff and puff then blow little miss @pigge team in. Can you confirm this?

@pigge got a raw deal so i feel for my fellow Gooner. AM draft is definitely trial by fire for first time participant especially with @Rex Bezos going full drill sergeant. But whoever wins we got you to thank for the idea of inaugural draft. Good weed has away of firing our synapses it is what makes you the outside the box thinker you are to come up with this jewel

Can’t believe ya’ll let us pick prime VVD.

4G/A from a CB in a CL winning campaign una. Pretty much unanimously the best CB in the world during that period too.

The guy who had Mikel pre-c*mming in a post match interview about his distribution. He’s basically the reason why Mikel went to the Kroenke’s and got them to invest. Basically the reason we’re top of the league una.
Sorry i had to pick the greatest Italian defender of all time not that plumber Cannavaro but the only defender to win 4 Serie A defender of the year awards ever, the sexiest of my two Alessandros, you know Nesta. Young Terry bagged 4 CL goals in the year i got him and wasn’t slow or old. Plus, if any of our pretty boy Prima donnas don’t track back or put a tackle in; i am going to tell Terry to give them the Bridge treatment and shag their wives and or gfs. Track back or i’ll have JT hit your woman up on Insta.

That perfumed fanny PR-gil van Dijk was never the best CB at any point in time. Don't drink the kool-aid
 

Arsenal Quotes

Robert Pirès was a fabulous player, world-class, and for a few years, before his injury, he was unquestionably the best left-midfielder in the world by far. He had incredible technique, he was smart, a finisher. He was a killer with a smile, the gentlest man in the world who suddenly drive the ball exactly where it was needed.
