And eventful players would be nice. As well, a few silent ones that don't talk much.

DDT, TPK, Valar, Avery are just examples.

Just my feedback for the 3rd one.


It may be that I do not consider myself as a captain. Captains here may be ment as persons building a team.

Well those were just examples off the top of my head. I am sure there are more.

Why should previous captains be excluded? There are only 5 of us after all and a total of 55 picks to be made.

Keeps the same players from being picked each time.

Previous Captains were never picked by a team ;).

Your concern is very much valid though and that is why the future draft will be changed and run differently as Shadowood has stated.

I think the winning team from the last year's should pick the leaders in this one, and that the winners can't be in the draft for this time. So the others has a higher chance to win and not having the same team winning again. :crate: :gc:

Aye. We will switch it up for the next one. I do expect to see some of the same faces on this draft but of course just in different team make up. It will still be exciting to see and learn.

I am opposed to any restrictions on who can be drafted, especially the, to me nonsensical idea that previous winners or captains should not be eligible. For me, the whole point is to pick the best players, as perceived by the Captains, for the teams needs. The limiter should be the Captains choices, not if or how many times that player may have been chosen before.
Top players get chosen because they ARE top players : they have proved themselves in their chosen field and their presence will enhance ANY team. The variation comes from the Captains, deciding which fits best in their overall scheme, and why. The suspense is on seeing who has their first choices taken and how they change and adapt their team to compensate for that. Further suspense is on seeing who has broken into the top tiers, who is giving the top rank in each field a run for their money.
Let's not devalue the kudos of being drafted, or chosen as a team captain, by excluding those who have gone before : for then, it only means the current batch had no competition : everyone will, eventually, be a 'winner' and we will end up proving nothing more than that.
