Sure why not.

Sorry IG, but I just want Dules. No offense.

Interested but have no idea of the rules.

Just make the best XI you can. Obviously you can't pick players others have selected. At the end we vote on who has the best team.

Depends on what category we choose. I suggest a large pool. So any player any time but eleven different nationalities

I'd say start off with a current draft. If it goes well and people like it make it a more difficult draft with stipulations, like different nationalities, etc.

How do we handicap whoever gets Messi/Ronaldo?

It generally evens itself up because they get their 2nd pick last

Yeah that's a bit unfair. Selection order is a random draw so I guess if you get lucky you get lucky.

In a snake draft either the first pick or the last pick is best, being able to go twice in a row is a huge advantage IMO.

Perhaps we should randomly draw the order each round?

1st pick is a massive advantage. You get Messi or Ronaldo and you also get to pick twice in a row for the rest of the draft.

I volunteer to go first then for all you guys.

Rule #1: No name dropping

Messi/Ronaldo is fine, everyone knows they're being picked in the first two.

Or we could do something novel and give each player a budget and we bid on players? Then if you want messi or Ronnie you damn well better pay

How's about a list of say ten players goes up and when everyone's put their final bids in for him the players go then the next list goes up?

Keep the "fun" aspect by making it simple
