    This is a new draft format, split into two parts.

    Firstly, you get a £75m transfer budget for your squad. Each round, you PM me with the player you want for your team plus how much you're bidding for him.

    E.g. Efe Ambrose £2m.

    If two players bid for the same player, the drafter who bids more gets him, then the person who bids less, has to bid again for another player. Once you get a player, the amount is taken out of your transfer budget. You don't need to spend the entire budget, you're allowed to have money left over.


    Second part:

    At the start of the draft, send me 5 'landmine picks' in a PM. You have to choose 5 players that you want in your team. The player is called a landmine because, if someone bids for a player that you've landmined, the bidder loses that player to you.

    For example: Scotia bids £1m for Efe Ambrose, but Obafgkmlt has Efe as a landmine, then obafgkmlt gets Efe in his team and Scotia has to pick again.

    If two or more drafters landmine a player, the landmine is void and the player is free to pick.

    It goes without saying that if landmines are hit, then some people's teams could be completed much quicker than others.

    To make it that little bit more challenging, you have to pick 1 player from each of these 11 categories:

    1. Pick a player with 100 caps or more.
    2. Pick a player two have won two different league titles (can be different league titles in the same country)
    3. Pick a player who has been relegated at least once
    4. Pick a player who has been involved in a promotion winning team
    5. Pick a player who has at least 100 career goals
    6. Pick a player who has never played at a World Cup
    7. Pick a player who was born in the 1960's
    8. Pick a player who has less than 40 caps
    9. Pick a player who has appeared in a Champions League/European Cup final
    10. Pick a former Celtic player
    11. Pick a player who has played football in 3 or more different countries.

    Who's in?

    8 so far. Another couple of players would be good.

    Correct.

    You set up landmines so that if someone else picks your landmine, you get that player instead of the person who bids for them. There are players that everyone wants, so it's kind of pointless to landmine them (or is it?), so you have to pick landmines that you think no-one else will landmine but people will still bid for when drafting.

    I hope that's clear enough.

    Send me 5 landmine players, that you'd like in your team. If someone else bids for that player and you're the only person to have landmined that player, you get him in your team, along with the players you bid for.
