Recommended Posts

Welcome to the DKO-tournament (Draft Knock Out Tournament). Here managers will be tested on their drafting skills (like in the NBA), while taking into account a few restrictions and ways to earn bonuses.

1st round 8 Managers will go H2H, I will start 4 saves for this (in every save 2 will go H2H)
2nd round the 4 winners from round 1 will go H2H, I will start 2 saves for this.
3th round the 2 winner from round 2 will go H2H and the losers will go H2H

(Sign up in invite only for the moment and may go “open” depending on who joins)
(You can always “sign up” as back up for when it’s needed)

 

Rules

  • There is no limit to your budget
  • Your team will have a 100M budget left in game, which can be used by the AI
  • No transfers during the season
  • All rounds are played in the 1st season of a new save
  • Latest database update will be used
  • Loaded leagues will be: England, Spain, Germany, Italy & France
  • Each league will have restrictions for players that can be used and bonuses to score point
  • I will edit coaches so they will only use their preferred formation (I will post a screenshot of the chosen coach’s formation/roles used)

 

Drafting

Start a new save with England, Spain, Germany, Italy & France loaded (Latest update) for yourself to see the available players

Everyone will have to draft 22 players and a coach in 7 rounds: 

  • Round 1: Coach
  • Round 2: 3 Players
  • Round 3: 3 Players
  • Round 4: 4 Players
  • Round 5: 4 Players
  • Round 6: 4 Players
  • Round 7: 4 Players

It will be chosen at random who picks first
Wait until the person before you made his/her choice. As soon as the person posted his/her choice, the next one can post theirs.
Every manager will have a maximum of 24 hours to post their choice (doesn't mean you have to take 24 hours though)

 

Your total points each round will be the sum of these things

  • Each H2H match will give points (Win = 3, draw = 1, loss = 0)
  • League Standing (1st = 5 points, 2nd = 4 points, …, 5th = 1 points, others = 0 points)
  • Champions League (Win = 15 points)
  • Domestic Cups (5 points per Cup, except the Supercups at the start of the season)
  • Bonus points 1 (depends on the league, more below)

@DanEnglish get the easiest opponent 😂

The first time I read this - I thought you were saying ‘I’ was the easiest opponent! My immediate response was ‘harsh but fair’ 😜

This is looking great so far @Titjes

But tough as well looking at the competition here. 

If there's any neutrals watching.. who's your favorite to win this. Please let yourself be heard, folks 😉

This would be a good poll question 😉

Personally I think @Rob and whoever wins the @FuddledFox vs @Kun Aguero H2H - those two have got to be favourites and the ones to beat.

The 3 you mentioned are going to finish bottom. @Rob knows fake wrestling, he knows squat about football. @FuddledFox is overrated and past his prime. Not that his prime was ever a threat to anyone here. @Kun Aguero will do *slightly* better than the aforementioned sods but hit the canvas pretty quick as well.

This so unfair. First match and I’m up against Dan 🤣

Huh? Mind games eh?

I doubt this will end well for me. My strengths are tweaking tactics + negotiating draft transfers with other players - neither of which can be used in this H2H 😞 am like a wannabe superhero with no superpowers 😭

It will be funny of one of these 3 knock you out in the next round @broodje kip!

Classic Bati tactics of trying to the belittle the people he is terrified of in a competition. I’m fully expecting old man Bati to make the final as usual but then you might as well give whoever he faces the 🏆 as we know what happens to Bati at the final hurdle.

Question - what do you all think about picking Mourinho as your manager?

Note - both Broodje and I have picked managers, so your answers won’t influence our choices 🙂

I'm really struggling to imagine such scenario. My worst vs their best + random factors + luck all heavily in their favor. But they still fall short. I just don't see it.

Nobody remembers my 1 in 10 winning ratio in finals. And according to my last count I've lost my last 9. So.. 👍

Was my second choice but I think Simone just pips him as the king of the shithouses these days along with some Argentine menace.

He was on my shortlist actually, because he's a character. I had about 5 and narrowed it down to two. He's still a very good AI manager, he'll do great with the right squad imo.

I also wondered about the likes of Mourinho, Conte and Simeone but went with my title winning manager from last year's draft league... plus he's already at home at Melwood!

Interesting choice imo. A tactical genius like him surely can do wonders.
