[Football] Current World XI Draft

[Rohana]

Brilliant.

To clarify, the draw order there means that for this (and all odd-numbered) round I get the second pick, whereas in even-numbered rounds I get the second-to-last pick?

Have I understood that correctly?

Yeah, that's right. Basically when it gets to the end [MENTION=26348]tomfitz12[/MENTION] will pick twice, then it'll be my go again and the list goes back up before AlbionAlex picks twice and then you get another pick.

One last question.

Does the category have to be revealed? Or can you write a list of the possible categories?

I only half looked at your last draft, and it sort of went like that!

You can write a list of possible categories, as long as at the end you've filled all 12 categories. I find it helpful because when you get near the end you can start moving players around if you're struggling with certain categories.

So wait, the first pick doesn't have to be from category 1? It can be from any category?

If so do we have to declare that category?

So would I have to say something like

PICK 1 - CATEGORY 5 - XXXXX XXX?

Yep, pretty much. You can then move players around the categories later on if you need to

Just look at the Albion draft XI, it will help clear things up.

 

[pauldcpfc]

Off to an inauspicious start!

He has got 10hrs you know

 

[pauldcpfc]

He has got 10hrs you know

I am quite aware.

It was sarcasm.

 

[Frutos]

Got a provisional squad ready to go, with all categories and positions accounted for...just crossing my fingers now that others haven't come up with the same names I have. Some of the categories were rather tough to fill suitably!

 

[albionalex]

Predictable maybe,but the best player in the world has to be 1st pick. Ronaldoooo.


[MENTION=4675]Frutos[/MENTION] , you're up.

 

[Frutos]

Equally predictably, I am also picking the best player in the World wink as the first member of Team Frutos:

CATEGORY ONE - LIONEL MESSI (272 APPEARANCES TO DATE FOR BARCELONA)

[MENTION=17456]The_Viper[/MENTION], you're up.

 

[JOLovegrove]

Shock horror with those 2...

 

[Frutos]

Shock horror with those 2...

 

[pauldcpfc]

I think this is where it might get interesting, if I was picking now, there would be 4 options in this level of player!

No names of course.

 

[JOLovegrove]

There is 2 categories I think people will struggle with...

 

[Frutos]

There is 2 categories I think people will struggle with...

There was one I found particularly tricky, but I found someone. Could be a bugger if someone else has the same someone, mind.

it's possibly better to get the tricky categories completed first

 

[The_Viper]

I picked a man that only fills ONE category but is arguably the BEST goalkeeper in the world and thus, he is my #1 round draft pick.

CATEGORY 8 - Champions League final 4!


MANUEL NEUER -

[MENTION=23421]JOLovegrove[/MENTION] you're up.

 

[pauldcpfc]

Think I've filled the dodgy sections with names that won't be taken too early!

7 to go until me, and I've narrowed it down to 2

 

[JOLovegrove]

This is incredibly difficult, weighing up 3 players to post but gonna go for the most expensive player in the world who ticks a few of the more difficult boxes. Would also imagine on a lot of players lists:

Gareth Bale

Over to you [MENTION=1958]Gazwag[/MENTION].

 

[Gazwag]

My first pick is a Swede who has scored 244 goals in 426 club appearances and has played in Sweden, Holland, Italy, Spain and France, its the Swedish Andy Carroll

Category 1 - Has played at least 200 times for one club
Category 2 – Has made over 70 International appearances
Category 3 - Has never played at a World Cup
Category 4 - Plays/Manages outside the “top 5” leagues
