Saw this idea on Cafe Rouge and as there’s a lot of debate about who the best players are from the PL era, let’s settle this:

16 participants (Will cap it at 16)

Copy and pasted the rules as followed:

• The idea is to pick a team of 11 players from the Premier League era (since the competition name first changed).
• You will be looking to pick the best players you possibly can for your team.
• The player is picked based upon there performances at their time in the Premier League (i.e. if you pick Andriy Shevchenko, his form at Kiev and Milan does NOT come into the equation during the competition).
• The player must also have played in a minimum of 2 different seasons in the league to prevent the selection of one season wonders.
• 16 people will participate
• Each person will be randomly drawn from a randomiser to be allocated a number between 1 and 16.
• Number 1 gets first pick, Number 2 gets second pick, Number 3 gets third pick and so on....
• Once Number 16 has picked, the first round of the draft is over. Then the order is reversed, and Number 16 gets to have first pick in the second round of the Draft, Number 15 gets second pick, Number 14 gets third pick etc.
• In the third round, Number 1 once again gets first pick after having last pick in Round 2. This sequence continues until 11 Draft Rounds have been complete.
• Once the draft is complete, the 16 teams will enter into a cup format competition, where there will be 8 matches.
• Each match will be decided upon the number of votes each team gets from the rest of the members not participating.
• The winner gets the opportunity to spend a luxury night out with @OnlyOne with all expenses paid for.
• Each member will get 2 hours to make their pick, if you miss the window then your pick is skipped and you get to select it at the end once the game is done.
• If the next picker is online and active in discussion he has only 20 minutes to make his pick

Game is going good, just need my pick.

Crackhead energy ffs

 

[RacingPhoton]

We should have new rule if you take 2 hours and 1 minute your pick is automatically Alex Iwobi. Unless that person is @Trilly if he is late he gets Theo. Whose with me power to people!

I know who I will be given if I don't pick on time

 

[Trilly]

History suggests @Trilly is going to make you wait ages.

I’m going cinema in an hour ffs, how long do I get?

Also @2Smokeyy if I pick someone who was in the PL and was very good but eventually became dusted due to age, do I get to have their prime version in my team?

 

[Farzad Stoned]

Crackhead energy ffs

Bro I work all day, do 17000-20000 steps a day, do 30-40 minutes cardio minimum, smoke 4 grams of dope a day and can only sleep 4 hours a day. Imagine if I hit crank or something it would be insanity up in this piece till my eventual banning. I just realized I got an advantage in this game because I don’t sleep lol.

Message someone who’s just picked like Tir or Mark and ask them to pick for you.

This has been a explained many times, only their PL form counts.

Would be funny if this happened, everyone sabotaging everyone else's team

 

[db10_therza]

We went from everyone getting 24 hours to people getting hate DMs for not picking their players within 5 minutes at 8am.

@2Smokeyy has lost control of the game.

How @Trilly thinks of himself when asking why it changed from 24hrs to 2:


How everyone else sees him:

Based on who is ahead of you, I would estimate that you’ll have until around 6:30pm to pick. Dunno if that helps.

I know but let’s take Auba for example. If I pick him can I say prime Auba or are people gonna use his last year with us?

Who decides their overall PL performance?

 

[RacingPhoton]

I like this game. @albakos Can you create a web/mobile app that does everything automatically? Also an alarm feature that wakes people up when it's their turn

Have a similar dilemma around injury plagued players…

Cool, I’ll probably have to check in halfway through the film.

Yeah just throw it together in your free time lol

Just tell the staff at the cinema that you have to make you AM draft pick about halfway through the film, they will surely understand how important that is and pause the movie for you...no?

Why aren’t you playing? Do you wanna team up?

The cinema? What are you Ingmar Bergman? The rest of us peasantry go to the movies. Will you be having quail egg and caviar canapés at the Cinema, guv’nor?

 

[Riou]

Missed the deadline (the one day in my life I had something to do, ffs!)

Are you sure you want to team up with me?

My "popularity" on here alone, may immediately get everyone to vote against your team though

You just look at his good run. How long was it, the peak etc. It’s like Vieira, you look at his best form, not at the end where he lost his legs.

Ignore everything Gerrard did until *that* Chelsea game.
