How about making it more than 11 rounds? 1 additional round to pick a coach and about 3-4 rounds for bench players. Since it's all time, we have endless options to choose from anyway.
How much do we have right now?

I'd like to give it a go.
Would really have loved to have done this, guys, but I just have less than no time right now ... glad that you got your ten, I was feeling a bit conflicted. ;)
(I will be lurking when I can ... this is an awesome idea. Next year.)
Alright, I'm excited, but have no idea how this works. Do I just pick a guy whenever I want at any position? We can't pick the same guys, right? No order?
Help me out, Commisioner Amager . . . Edgar . . . Bakhu . . .
Wait so if the first person is ready to pick he can picck?
great thread. i am betting the first two players gone will be pele and maradona.
i wont play, but i do wonder who will pick the black spider* to play goal for them?
(* aka lev yashin...who in his career saved 150 PENALTY KICKS. )
Wait so if the first person is ready to pick he can picck?

If we can do it sooner than monday that be great

Well The good thing is that you can pick whenever you want
I am thinking on starting the draft at 9.00 a.m. and run it through the day.
With half hour?? to one hour picking time??

Half hour will be enough IMO.
I wonder who mishas getting with the first pickIt won't be a big surprise.
I am thinking of going some form of 4-5-1 or a 4-3-3.
I'll probably go with what I consider to be a classic 4-4-2. Maybe a 3-5-2, but, Edgar, do I have to be more specific than that?
Can I announce a general formation like that, and then sort of slot guys in where I like them after they are drafted?

in football manager it works great with the defensive mid linking up the crazy attack. in real life i suspect teams would catch on to the gaping hole behind the pushed up midfield with one poor dude covering all of it ;)
What would I even call it? a 1-4-1-4?

Well Crownsy, We will have you in mind as First backup GM for sure, and some GMs were asking for Co GMs so keep around. Its always nice to have panelists in this games too
BTW, should we also state the year we are taking the player from (could be nice) or just assume every player on a team is during his peak?

As their first pick The Inmortals are happy to choose
Diego Armando Maradona
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_Lm7BDKALB3g/TAIIcU6AJRI/AAAAAAAAAG8/P8XJqutednM/s320/E.jpg)
Decided to keep it simple. He's the most talented player I have ever seen.
I figured you will take him Edgar. Im very happy to make Zinedine Zidane the 3rd overall pick.

Celtics18 I would say you can just goAgreed -- ianboyextreme hasn't been online since late last night. I don't think there is any point in waiting on him for this pick.
Not sure when Edgar will be back online. Did Edgar name a co-commish?
I remember he was looking for one but I can't see one named in the thread.

I could make the picks provisionaly, and if ianboy comes back he can just pick up from there, although that might not be fair if I pick someone the next guy on the clock wants.
Let me know.

I vote for this. It's not really fair for us that he hasn't picked yet either.
I'm using my Forums Manager powers, and am decreeing the following (;) ):
Crownsy is immediately ianboy's co-GM. He has all powers of a full GM, including the right to make picks and trade players;
If ianboy doesn't check in within 24 hours, crownsy takes over full responsibility of the team.
Sound fair?

Three great picks -- all at the top of my list of available guys.
I was hoping Di Stefano would fall another few picks so I could couple him up with Beckenbauer. With Beckenbauer orchestrating the the team from the back and Di Stefano directing it from midfield. That would have been an incredible combination.Three great picks -- all at the top of my list of available guys.
I think That Midfield pairing, if I can get a good striker later for them to feed, would be amazing to see in action.
Platini was such a creative attacker, finisher and passer, and he'll be our free kick specialist.
And the Blond Arrow Is a great counterpart. Fantastic finisher, great defender to link up help keep us in the attacking third, and can run forever.

Surprised Di Stefano fell as far as he did. Garrincha too.
In hindsight, maybe I should have taken Di Stefano ahead of Beckenbauer. Not sure. I was a bit uncomfortable taking a player from the 50s with my first pick so I kinda looked past him. Bad reason. Also, as somewhat of a tie-breaker, I liked Beckenbauer's added success with the German National team.
It would have been really sweet to have had a general like Di Stefano running the midfield. In hindsight, he would've a great guy to build a team around.
Maybe Who should pick?ACF is online again right now. So he'll probably be making his pick soon enough.

Last time he was active was aboutt 50 minutes ago at 4:32
#15 - I am going to go with Marco Van Basten.:( Wanted him, good pick.
Well, since the guys who should pick before me are all offline now and I need to go soon, I'm just gonna pick in about 30 minutes if nothing changes.
Maybe but we can't drag this forever. It's 2 am over here.

I knew it you would get him but george best is actually considered better
Maradona was just being nice :) Gonzales is not in the top 10 league, not even close.
Funny. And the best team he ever played is Cadiz? Just another technically gifted player who played for small teams and accomplished nothing. Rich man's Denílson.Maradona was just being nice :) Gonzales is not in the top 10 league, not even close.
to be honest technically speaking hes in a category on his own.. youre right on that one ;)
In cadiz when team plays, grandparents invite their grandkids to see god playing.
but hey thats a little over the board too
And the only part I can give is that he never cared about his talent.

Maradona > Pele + GB.
Your opinion, I disagree. Pele was an amazing player but too hyped up. I think Maradona was slightly better and more proven. I can't consider someone the best ever when he never tested himself in europe.Maradona > Pele + GB.
Pele is better than Maradona
Maradona > Pele + GB.
Pele is better than Maradona
Maradona > Pele + GB.
Pele is better than Maradona
Pele and Magico are better
And Maradona conceded on Magico
never on Pele because hes brazilian
Anyonte that says magico isnt even top 15 on the world
1) Didint saw ESPN top 100 players of the century
2) Never saw him play
3) is biased
4) doesnt want to admitt I have the best 1-2 punch offensivly AND deffensivly
Lev Yashin and Baresi are beasts on their own category
but well still a close pick to do
Misha
wait i thoungt fick pick
we will have to wait a little for him
rules are rules

P.s. Think on Magico as a Michael Laudrup on steroids more creative and with better tech , faster and natural even more natural than laudrup
The coaches round is scheduled for the weekend. We could start that now.
Edit: Actually, I am not sure who is first up. I don't see a draft order for coaches round.
I can understand Pele, even though I disagree, but to say that Gonzalez is better than Maradona is to be extremely biased. But since you both from the same place that doesn't surprise me.
Magico didnt even make it into Peles top 100+1

And you won't find him on many other ranking lists since he just doesn't belong there.
Sure he loves him, he needs someone to do his laundry. Even Megico himself doesn't think he should be a 4th round pick. Except you, nobody here does.Magico didnt even make it into Peles top 100+1

Please, even by people who saw him play he's poorly rated. He's not even in Fifa's 125 best players, same with World Soccer magazine. Maybe he's a legend in your country, but for the rest of the world he's another talented player who wasted his talent and accomplished nothing.Sure he loves him, he needs someone to do his laundry.

You dont.. I am ok with it
I know I coul had pick Magico at 90 even at 100 but its just because people dont have a clue on who he was
MEdia you know
I even think I was tooooo late picking him, I have another pick in two picks so why not to pick him in 5th round
Its just because people that saw him play knows he was probably the best natural talent ever born in soccer
there are good, common, uncoommon , better, best players and there are legends, Magico is a legend.

It's going to be really difficult to pick a manager. So many options.
Oh my gosh!!! We have to pick a manager?!!!
I may be jumping the gun but I select Celtics18 to coach the East Coast Contenders.
Sorry for the delay, alright selecting the manager -- I choose Jose Mourinho.
Yeah, I am Chelsea fan. Loved Mourinho when he was there. Just how organized, disciplined, methodical and dominant his teams where. Like a well-oiled machine. Just ran over opponents. Gutted when he left the club. So I have a soft spot for him. Lots of success in different situations too (Porto, Chelsea, Inter, now Madrid).Sorry for the delay, alright selecting the manager -- I choose Jose Mourinho.
Great pick i would have chose him but i had to please Messi
Garrincha is on the blockWhy are you thinking of moving Garrincha?
Im changing him for one of my keepers (lol have 2)Garrincha is on the blockWhy are you thinking of moving Garrincha?
Who's your second keeper? Berti Vogts was a defender.Lol, I'm a baboon. My bro misinformed me. Well I'm fine then, and nobody is on the block
To this point in the draft crownsy has the best team
To this point in the draft crownsy has the best team
Thanks man! Although I dunno, I think I have the best Center core group in the draft at the moment, but my problem is alot of the good wings have already been picked. also it's always tough to deal with a messi as yourself picked or pele and maradona.
But that middle triangle linking back to Moore should be rock solid, stephano is arguably the best center mid of all time and platni isn't far behind...now it will be about getting guys to deal with some of the great wing players and strikers that have been drafted!
Are we going to try to fit in another player round today after the coaches round is over, or are we waiting to pick our next round of players until tomorrow?
Its up to. Misha if. He picks his player today and the next person picks their player, though we shouldnt skip someone for taking too long

Edgar left you out of the coaches list so the whole thing became a mess. Plus, there's no time table for it.
As to the next round, according to Edgar's schedule it should start on Monday so I'm not gonna start two days beforehand. If someone is taking the weekend off and following it, it wouldn't be fair to start so early and skip him.
That and to see if you can break the record for the amount of mistakes in one post.
the soccer draft is a csual draft
made for casual players
i dont care what pics were was will be made

Mostly every Brazilian player is joga bonito ronaldinho ronaldo roberto carlos etc.
Don't forget the white Pele - Zico. I have 1982 World Cup on tapes and he along with that great Brazil team played some amazing football. Best player in the world in the late 70's - early 80's.
stinked? Not true at all. He was probably their best player, finished as Brazil's top scorer and was in the best 11 of the tournament. They lost because of their shaky defence.well I will concede even when in that game he barely played
You confused things (again).stinked? Not true at all. He was probably their best player, finished as Brazil's top scorer and was in the best 11 of the tournament. They lost because of their shaky defence.well I will concede even when in that game he barely played
p.s. Platini owned him.. not to mention rochateau
p.s.2. I was sooo high on him, it still hurts I watched that game on a giant screen in a big auditorium
oh well do you have a pick

I'm taklking about 1982 WC in which Zico was amazing and came as the best player in the world (won the prize the following year). You are talking about 1986 in which Zico came with injury and was already declining.
XAVI
I afraid he won't last till my next pick and I really love him so must pick him now. I think he's a bit underrated - one of the best passers ever, super smart and with great vision. Barca's brains and the new member of The Immortals.
Maybe we should have an extra pick/player so we can have the flexibilty to trade

Only cause Bobby Moore was there for me to take, I was hoping he'd fall down to me at the end of the round. Great Pick
It seems like alot of the English players are undervalued so far.
P.s I'm hurt all my fantasy brethren have checked my NBA thread and don't want to play haha. Not really, just thought it might be fun. Do people just not want to follow a couple guys for the year or is the idea just to awful?

We pick
Ryan Giggs at Left wing to feed our amazing center triangle.

Andriy Shevchenko.
Crownsy, keep Giggsy.

Another top 20 player maybe even top 10 and Italy's greatest player of all time
Giuseppe Meazza
Well, I'll take my favorite Fifa Player of all time.
Wayne Rooney

I was wondering when Wayne would go, great striker to grab at this point in the draft.
Another top 20 player maybe even top 10 and Italy's greatest player of all time
Giuseppe Meazza
I don't know about top 20 all time, but a fantastic player. Certainly one of the top 20 Mids of all time.
That's the fun part about doing this with 10 people and all the available talent, even picking a position late there are guys who were great.
I think your gonna be hit with the same attack Di Stepano will for me, that is the whole "we'll a more modern great player would destroy them" ect
Love the pick though.
Picking anything like a winner in this thing will be imposable ha.
#55 - Frank RikjaardNicely done. That late 80's - early 90's Milan was one of the best teams ever.
Getting the gang back together again -- Rikjaard, Gullit and Van Basten.
Giacinto FacchettiAh darn, I was hoping Facchetti would slip one more round.
Wait did everyone already make their picks?
To Finish our attack, the Gekko Go's Select David Beckham AMR

Gerd Muller and Falcao leading the line with Kaka pulling the strings behind them and then Garrincha out on the right wing destroying every full-back in sight.Exactly
Lots of goals there.
I believe this right back is still available apologies for not following format I'm on my phone.Nilton Santos is the left back and he was taken in the last round.
We take Nilton Santos

What percentage of famous Dutch footballers are named Ruud?
David Villa and Ruud Van Nistlerooy. Nice combination. Two prolific goal-scorers.
I think they'd be great in a 4-4-2. Really interested to see who you pick as the third striker alongside them if you keep your 3-4-3 formation.
80. Misha Roberto BaggioThere are lots of amazing attackers still on the board.
Don't understand how an amazing player like him wasn't taken earlier.
Yeah, but you won't find many world and european players of the year still available. I think he was the best player in the world in the early-mid 90's. Liked him a lot growing up.80. Misha Roberto BaggioThere are lots of amazing attackers still on the board.

Forwards and advanced midfielders. So much talent available in those areas of the pitch.

Depends on what you needed most. Gento was a left winger, Baggio was a forward.Yeah, but you won't find many world and european players of the year still available.

I was thinking of taking him but i chose Gento over him

There were no time slots today so not too sure what to do here. We're already past the usual time slots so I think we could do shorter windows between picks.

Good call. But people should be aware of when their pick is up. I know I've missed it a couple of times myself. It happens. If PM reminders aren't being noticed then there's not much you can do. Anyways... good looking out, min ven. I dub thee Scout.

Agreed about England players, except for John Barnes, who is waaaayyyy underrated.
Who, this is the order we had for round 10 so it should be the other way around for round 11. Also, Ronaldo943's pick is going to Edgar via trade.Hmm ... so it is. That was the order on the initial draft board. Sorry about that, I'll fix it.

One sub would have been nice, there are still many great players left.

Round 11Agreed, great player. Well rounded and versatile player who can play all across the front-line. Very valuable. Great pickup.
111. 09:00 - Misha Karl Heinz Rummenigge
Super glad to add him. From all the players we missed so far, he's the biggest one IMO.
Should we do a Rate my team thread? I feel like im quickly going to go insane searching through 40+ pages to find peoples teams. Could also include voting and allow people to write up a little summary of thier teams.
And are we doing that 12th round to pick a super sub?
120. Crownsy Djalma Santos
I think he's still on the board, if so i'm very happy to steal one of the top right backs so late.
If he's off the board, good pick whoever has him and I'll repick ;D

Just a suggestion: don't include voting. It takes some of the fun away, in my opinion.
Zlatan IbrahimovicGreat to see Zlatan picked. I love big target man type strikers especially ones like Zlatan who are wonderfully skilled to boot.

Every time I catch some PSG highlights this year, Zlatan is doing something amazing. He is really doing a great job leading that team. They look dangerous in the Champions League.

Fernando RedondoI love Redondo. I was getting worried that he wasn't going to get picked. Redondo was my second choice holding midfielder behind Rijkaard.
BTW I loved the Neeskens pick. Another player that should have been picked earlier. You have a nice Dutch colony there.
Also, surprised that ACF didn't take another famous Danish player.

Brilliant player. So skillful. Excellent deep lying playmaker. Great range of passing. Great tactically. Maintains shape and balance of his team superbly well. Very good dribbler who can past people. Can break down a defense.
Allan Simonsen.BTW I loved the Neeskens pick. Another player that should have been picked earlier. You have a nice Dutch colony there.

Tomasson?

This draft happened 8 years ago.I'm interested in joining but I won't be any good if it's another all-time draft, maybe 21st century?
With the NBA season coming to an end, I was wondering if there's any chance that this can come back, almost a decade later, with new players available, and can be run again.
Thanks.
Okay, for the record, I wasn't presenting myself as someone who can run the game. I don't know if I could, with time differences and all.Most of them seem to have retired lol.
I'm just asking if there's a chance the guys behind this can probably do it again. ;D
