'Jairzinho has claimed that FIFA awarded him a "best body on the planet" prize for his athleticism; however, FIFA has no record of this award'

Thought this was funny.
 
Eusebio and Muller in a two man attack :drool:

I'm not going to lie, even though you are up against me,I would love to see that attack. Fortunately (Or rather unfortunately for you) with your position in the picking order, I can't see Eusebio lasting until you.
I unrealistically assumed in my preparations that I woild have both Eusebio and Muller up front:lol::lol::lol: delusional.

Surprising pick #2. Very underrated and highly versatile! Hoped he would last a couple more rounds.
You're kidding right? He was part of my list with players that won't ever get back to me for my 2nd pick :(
 
Surprising pick #2. Very underrated and highly versatile! Hoped he would last a couple more rounds.

Not surprising at all. Best LB in the draft after Facchetti and capable of playing as a CB. No way he was getting past the first round, I would have made sure of that at the very least.

For me he is almost as good as Kaizer/Figueroa/Facchetti and I would certainly pick him ahead of them if the system is total football. Versatility helps a lot in a draft like this, left back, centre back, sweeper. I hope that he get the credit he deserves.

Nah, he's one of the top 5 defenders available for me. Beckenbauer, Figueroa, Facchetti, Moore, Krol. There's a couple of others on his level but that's the order I'd have them in.
 
Not too surprising. He was also on my list for never coming back to me.
 
I'm actually surprised there's a guy still knocking about who I thought would have gone a bit sooner.
 
It's really relaxing to have no plan at all :lol:. I don't care who you guys pick right now.
 
RedTiger stole Beckenbauer from me.

@Joga Bonito
 
sallycinnamin is usually offline during weekends

Have you been able to confirm that he's actually in this? Or did you just pick for him to keep things rolling?

If there still is no actual confirmation that he's playing, I'd say it's fair that someone else takes his place. Like @mazhar13.
 
No more delusional than I was, thinking the same thing :lol:
Seriously? You thought you could get Krol next? Everyone after @crappycraperson had no chance at all, even if everyone else didn't want him. Crappy picked him in the 2nd round of the World Cup draft, he's the ultimate Krol fanboy. I was actually surprised he didn't pick him first ;).

It was more one of those wishful thinking moments :) I doubted he'd make it to the second round of picks really, even less so all the way back up the board again. You need to keep hope though, otherwise how can people ruin your day with their picks?

Yes, I have had him about 3-4 times.

I don't have a plan for my next pick, but I'm sure @Joga Bonito will ruin my day soon :(
 
It'll be interesting to see the first 2 picks from the bottom half. I think the pickers there will have some nice combos. Then; if anyone of note slips through to the top half.

I have realised that being bang on the middle is the worst place to be. Suddenly I feel sympathetic towards those with similar position in chain draft
 
No point having a plan for a pick until it is your turn. Just have to evaluate things once they come back to you.
 
Who's about tonight that I can leave my picks with? Will be in the pub.....
