Sorry mate. I can put you down as a reserve?

We have our 24 players, and a few reserves in case anyone pulls out.

@Ronaldo Beckham @Rebs @GunmaN1905 @Celtic_1967 @BigV @Pompeyboyz @SouthCoastRed @Rikulec @JD nawrat @Freakiie @Crispypaul @The Golden boy @Scott1892 @PaulHartman71 @Harryseaess @grff @Darius1998 @hilly_boro @Yuko @Joel B @Citizen Sandman @Baptista_8 @mrw072 @WillHoward42

Draft Rules:

There will 11 rounds where users will pick a player from a nation playing at Euro2024. If your player doesn't make the final squad then they will have to be replaced at the end of the draft.

The draft order for each round will be randomly drawn, so not like a usual draft where the order snakes.

A Nation can only be picked from once each round and each user can only have 1 player from each nation over their 11 picks. 

A player can only be picked once.

You can pick your players in any order e.g a striker, then a left back, then a goalkeeper.

You can have as many players for one position as you like, e.g 11 goalkeepers or 7 strikers and 4 defenders.

When it is your turn to pick, make your choice in the thread like this:

1. Cantona (France), 2. Scholes (England)

When it is your turn to pick you will have 6 hours inside the game window of 8am and 11pm to make your pick and post in the thread. You can make picks outside this time but will not be punished for not picking outside this time.

If you miss your pick you will get two picks next time, miss that pick and you are out of the game.

If you pick when it is not your turn you will also lose that turn and your player will be available for someone else.

 

When all players have finished picking, teams will play each other in their group fixtures and then onto a knock-out tournament. Players will pick their formations and where their players will play.

A thread will be made for each match and forum users will vote on who they think will win the match between the two teams.

The winner going through to the next round, the loser leaves the comp. We will keep going until we have a winner.

Does this mean active players or we can also pick retired ones and their peak versions? You making an example with Cantona and Scholes kind of threw me off.

 

Btw, it's coming home!

Just players playing at Euro2024

[Rob1981]

If only it was vintage players being measured specifically on their performance at a previous Euros.

Panenka 76 vs Platini 84 in the middle of the park.

Ok, so we're going with their current versions and not peak then? As in picking some very old players would mean they're rated according to this season and not a decade ago?

Thanks for the clarification, should put that into disclaimer with draft rules and when we vote since we mostly had historic drafts.

That's going to be confusing having the actual template and the draft one sent just after it. Maybe just edit your original draft one gizzy rather than reposting it several times.

can someone tag next person please? On the road home from work

@Joel B

[JD nawrat]

@Gizzy what if one of the players selected doesn't get called up to the tournament? Are we just assuming it's someone who has a realistic chance of going? Obviously these first rounds don't matter in that sense but by round 6 i imagine it might  i remember a past tournament where players who didn't get called up had to be replaced in the draft.
