First thing off, thank you for participating. Should be a good laugh and hopefully be enjoyable for us all.
I'm going to say this now, Don't post anything other than your picks in this thread. The other thread will be used for discussion. This is only for picks.
I'll remind you of the rules. Please read these carefully.
- You can only take players who participated in at least 40
- The player is assessed on the basis of how good he was during his period in the premiership only. Therefore, if you selected Edgar Davids or Youri Djorkaeff for example - you would be getting the Spurs and Bolton versions respectively - not the guys who destroyed European football at Juve and Inter during their primes; premiership games during their career (this means that one season wonders are excluded from consideration - a player will need to be on a squad for more than one season);
- Selection order will go backwards after ever round. So for example, in Round 1 you're picking number 1, you'll be last to choose in round 2. Whereas number 20 will pick last in round 1 but first in round 2. this will be rotated throughout the game for the entire 11 rounds.
- Clock expires on a drafter after 24 hrs(except for the first player at the end of each round. He will be given a 48 hour period to choose again to allow for adequate time for preperation. After that time, the next player on the list will be allowed to go and it will up to the skipped player to post a pick in the draft thread at their earliest convenience. Though if someone has picked your choice while you've been away even though you were first to pick on teh draft list. Tough i'm afraid make a different choice.
- When someone has completed a pick, they should pm the next in line to inform them that it is their turn. Please abide by this as it will allow the game to run as smoothly as possible.
- People are obliged to go to google images and put up a photo of the player they are selecting and provide some sort of spiel as to why they are drafting them at that time. Please do this. It will make it more visible and cleaner throughout the thread and allow those picking to see exactly who has been chosen.
- After each participant has selected eleven players they are obliged to put one more post in the draft thread which provides a final formation and discusses the tactics that would be ideally employed in an imaginary game. This will be where BGS will be reviewing everyones team. So try to do the best you can.
-It is best not to mention undrafted players. So, if Roy Keane is selected with the first pick - try not to say "Vieira is much better in my opinion". Now, obviously one would assume that everyone up for participating in this kind of thing would be aware of how similar the two players are - but as things move beyond the obvious choices people who are less willing to put in research or don't know as much about the game as a whole shouldn't be let off the hook by others mentioning the best players available in the later rounds.
