But then would you or other people near end be happy with that? If all first people had 3 choices each then by the time it got to you all best players would be gone?

**** didnt realise that. maybe they should alter the draft order slightly....(6)

I also agree with bigfatfishy about sending pms to next person in line as it will help people quickly notice it's their turn rather than checking thread every few minutes :P
500m should be fine though as amount is fixed so has to last how ever many seasons it will run for and no trading/selling back if low on money so people will need to be careful of budget.

Agreed. If everyone before me got to choose 3 players, then thats 54 best players from the league already taken. I doubt I'd be left with any decent choice of players.
 
What if he alternated the draft list. What I mean is the draft list goes from players 1-20 then it swaps round and goes from 20-1 and then back to 1-20 and so on.... I think this would be fairer as it would allow people at the end of the draft list to have the same chance to pick great players as people at the start of the draft list. Therefore making the overall teams closer in quality and making the game more competitive as everyone would then have a roughly equal chance of success as the teams are roughly the same quality.

Great Idea
 
But he said

At the end of the deadline, I will reveal the bids in a post and the person with the highest bid will pay that amount of money and recruit the person to their team

that is for auctions. what we are doing is a draft. This draft is basically about making our starting squads and then we will have auctions later on for players in other leagues to improve our squads. (I think this is how this is going to work)
 
i think maybe we should just leave it to his decision he's obviously got a good plan given the lentghy OP.

i think he said hes doing that anyway. the order of the draft list posted is only for our first choices then its random again for our 2nd choice etc making the draft list change every round

Is it? i didnt know that. if he is changing the draft list after every round then hopefully i dont keep getting chosen 20th

EDIT: also just realised that if he were to do this some people could get picked near the top all the time meaning they would have a much better squad than people that keep getting picked nearer the bottom

How about reducing the waiting time from 24 hours to something like 6 hours because at the moment, if even 1 player doesn't turn up at all this auction will take about 20 days to complete.

yeah that seems better but then what if someone is offline for a day then they could miss a few rounds

my only qualm with that is what if that 6 hours was from 2 am to 8 am? i'm into auction games but i wouldn't base my sleeping times around them!

well its completly random as its chosen out of a hat so you would have to be really unlucky like 20 times in a row for that to happen but always possible i guess...

I am extremely unlucky thats why i dont like things being picked out of a hat
 
Wheres ustart2worry? Btw I like the way were getting players from a different country in each transfer window, great idea!
 
There is one thing you could do to alter the waiting times and that is if you are going offline and your turn is soon but you might miss it. You could just send Zambo a PM with a list of players that you would want (With the one you want the most near the top)
and then he could just go down your list to find the player highest up on that list that has not yet been taken.

the odds of being last every time are over 1000000/1 are you really that unlucky? ;)
Click to expand...

Yes I am

EDIT: know that i have said that my luck is going to contradict me and somehow i will get picked near the top of most of the drafts if he does randomise them after every round

It gonna take a lot of time and I think it will be after a week for my turn, because all the people aren't online at the same time.
