70s Retro Football Fantasy Championship - DRAFT THREAD

Indeed, by the time Brwned gets to pick again at the rate things are going with midfielders being taken he'll have to partner Pirlo with Thomas Gravesen.

I thought the same but wouldn't put it in print as by the time it is my turn I may have to partner Zidane with Gravesen :lol:

:mad:
 
I pick Raul

and Del Piero.

I sent you a PM as you had expressed an interest but was clear that WHOEVER CAME FIRST WITH TWO PICKS WOULD GET IT

Fair enough. I thought I was given the rights since I had expressed interest earlier as well. Fair enough. DE takes it for being quick.
 
Brwned made it easier by picking Rio....so heres Totti welcoming his new team mate to the team...

Sorry mate, I had posted first come first served earlier on, couldn't keep everyone waiting for you (I checked and you seemd to be offline).

No hard feelings as a voter I hope :D, I'm just trying to move things along as last time it took more than two weeks to draft.

Nah. No sweat at all :)

This is already moving at a super fast rate!
The first ever fantasy draft on here took 3 years to complete :lol:
 
Odd picks mate. I had these two as options for upfront/leftwing but wouldn't have taken them both in one go.

Might have had something to do with the pressure of having to beat Interval to it. :lol:

I know, I only thought about it after posting :lol:

Could be worse, he could have got Buffon and VDS just in case :lol:
 
Have my strike force sorted and two absolute legends of their respective clubs. I'm happy with them.
 
I pick : Michael Ballack

I know many think he is a cnut ,including me but ignoring his annoying career at Chelsea, no doubt he is one of the best mid fielders of the last 20 years.

I enjoy going towards the end. Did the same last draft as well. Always prefer picking in pairs.
 
Choosing two players together is actually unfair.

Evens itself out I suppose. He has an awful long wait till his next pick now, chances are all the best defenders/midfielders will be gone by then.
 
I can't understand, going by these arguments, that being nr 1 isn't the best by miles then? You start with getting Zidane and for the rest of the draft you pick two in a row.

According to my list of footballers anto will have no problem getting another world class player. I'm hoping to get a 3rd one as wee but that will up to the next 25 picks.

Look at the start of the thread... there was no getting people out of "you got Zidane, lucky to be first" and all that.

I'm sure many would happily be in Snow's place right now.

The most difficult picking spot is probably Crustanoid's or Brwned's (yours less so), you are not early, you have to hold your breath during that U-turn at the bottom and then have to wait forever to get another go.

There will probably be World Class players left over, but it will be in entirely different positions. I will have to make a call over whether to take a world class player or get something reasonable in midfield while I still can...

Zidane alone is no bloody use.

Hmmm.

Probably you are right.
 
I didn't recognise him with hair.

My wife would be shocked you didn't recognise his :drool: eyes

Wankers, I hate Italian players, every sinlge World Cup in living memory I've had to put up with women who know bugger all about football watching their games with me. First it was my sister, then every single one of my previous partners.
