SG's Ultimate Draft Challenge 2015

[yoyo913]

Heh, it's alright.

 

[Mandieta6]

Guys, calm down.

 

[Pogba4Now]

The 2014 FIFA draft final is not even done yet.

 

[Juventino]

If it's too much of a hassle for someone else, I can run the voting stage when I'm back home from my holidays in two weeks.

Hoping it will be started before then, but if not than you should. The person organizing it doesn't have to be anyone in particular, they just need to have the time to do it. And I'm sure you'd do a good job.

 

[Filipower]

Uh... guys?

 

[Dytza]

I don't get why we picked in that hurry, and I don't get why only a particular user should do the voting stage. That's a 15 min job at most if everyone sends their team.

Do it. Everyone has voted you to do it.

 

[yoyo913]

I've randomized the groups because I don't trust y'all.

I only hit randomize once.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Sorry, Xaviesta. I've been on a 5700 mile road trip the last 2 weeks. I'm sure all you can think about on such things is Soccer Gaming, but amazingly, me and my traveling companion were otherwise occupied. I haven't seen a full soccer match since last Sunday, and I left on the trip an hour after it ended.

 

[Juventino]

I'm home from my holidays and I still have some free time, so I can do it.

Everyone can PM their line-ups to me. I'm not going to set a deadline. Chill. I'll use the randomized groups yoyo posted.

Or Shifty, you can send me the line-ups already sent to you.

 

[Filipower]

The time delay actually might be good, it allowed the season to start and we're already some games in, so it gives us this fresh look at the players we've chosen and their form.

 

[Mandieta6]

I think it will lead to recency bias.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Haha yeah, whoever drafted Ivanovic is going to get laid into for three bad games rather than 6 excellent years

 

[Pogba4Now]

Haha yeah, whoever drafted Ivanovic is going to get laid into for three bad games rather than 6 excellent years

He will bounce back don't worry.

 

[kp41]

To be honest it will make more sense if you do voting at the end of the year or at least January ...

 

[Mus]

Not really, people aren't active then

 

[kp41]

true but you may rate Rooney for example a flop right now ... by January he can be good ... opposite is Falcao from last year ...

I think the best way to do this is average league stats per team from that website we used for WC. Time consuming and not workable based on current active users.

 

[Mandieta6]

That will postpone the next draft for two years.
