Following some executive restructuring, and ahead of the inaugural soccer league season, the Alduria Division will undertake a player draft. This draft will see the 16 Alduria Division teams pick four players each to sign to salary-capped professional deals as designated players. These players had their playing rights transferred to the Alduria Division last year as part of the collapse of Caputia's FAC Premier Division and are therefore free to join whichever club drafts them.
The format for the draft will see four rounds of picks, which each team having one pick per round. Unlike most other sports drafts, which see the previous season's least successful teams pick first, as we have no prior Aldurian records to go by, the order for the draft has been completely randomised. As the league is split into two conferences, for parity, picks have been alternated between their respective teams, and the order of each subsequent rounds of picks has been reversed from the previous one; therefore, if a team picks first in the first round, they shall pick last in the second. Draft picks may not be exchanged between teams, and teams may not pick more than one goalkeeper.
The 64 players entered into the draft are as follows. They consist of existing professional players of Alexandrian, Hammish, Valencian, Tae, and Monovian extraction who are all now naturalised Aldurians:
Coverage of the draft will continue in this thread. The first round will (hopefully) be covered in real time, as teams go "on the clock" to pick their inaugural acquisitions, while the latter rounds will be summarised. The schedule for the draft's first round will see teams pick in the following order:
We will join proceedings in Punta Santiago, at the headquarters of the AFF, soon!
