:lol:

That's who I had posted initially before taking it down thirty seconds later.

You bastard. I thought I'm seeing things when I saw him picking Di Livio who already had been picked and all of a sudden the pick was gone :lol:
 
I never knew he picked him. When I checked he had picked Conte. :p

I know :lol: I just searched for the thread and thought to myself who the feck took Di Livio I'm sure somebody picked him. Didn't know it was him and he edited it :lol:
 
Vincenzo Montella

1 word to describe this lad was goals..Lit up lower league clubs Empoli and Genoa before signing for Sampdoria in 1996 for €25 million and in 83 appearances for the club scored 54 times which led him to being purchased by AS Roma in 1999 and in his first season scored 18 goals
 
My pick is Oliver Bierhoff. His 1998-9 period saw him win a Serie A top scorer award along with a Serie A title and German POTY award.

Brwned PM'd me his shortlist and his next pick is Paulo Sousa. A defensive minded midfielder who was a part of the “Portuguese Golden Generation”.

In the 90's he had spells at Juventus, Inter and Parma.

Delighted to get him, the midfielders are running out fast. He was named 15th best player in the world with Juventus in '95, a wonderful midfielder who had a nomadic career in which he played alongside Rui Costa at Benfica, but his peak was undoubtedly at Juventus. Rui Costa later played with Crespo, so there's links running right through the team

*** Sousa ***
Rui Costa
*** Crespo​

...it's a good spine.
 
Only thing I was worried about him was the amount of time he spent in Serie A. Tad less, but he was brilliant and also won the Guerin D'or.

He really had 1 great season but great pick. Sousa was my next pick.

Gone for this type of approach myself, Brwned. A good spine is half the battle in these type of competitions, always easier to fill in the gaps afterwards. Quality full-backs and wingers slip through the net easier than strikers or central/attacking midfielders.
 
I have always found it hard to find fullbacks at the end. Specially because I end up with narrow formations and hence the role of a fullback becomes extremely important. So I need fullbacks who are good at the back and provide width. Happy to have them sorted early.

One of my favorite striker. Nothing like seeing a thumping header goes in the net. I'm not saying that's the only thing he's good at but he's the best I've seen for heading the ball. It's just so powerful.

This draft's going too slow, compare the list above to this list...

...that's where they were by the end of day 6, which is today in this draft.
 
TBH the Nationality draft was amazingly fast. The first 2-3 rounds went in a flash. But yeah, this one has been really slow.

A lot of players have been going offline for long periods without PMing their picks.
 
Can't we introduce some sort of system where anyone who misses the 6 hour limit once then has his limit cut to 3 hours, if it's the same people busy but aren't arsed to PM their picks?

Thats not a bad idea. We'll just have to keep note of who is late, for the next go. This is by far the slowest draft I've played or seen on here.
 
I say just cut it down to 3 hours completely. Or you have to at least pick 1 person a day and pm ** pick to someone if you aint gona be on
 
Come on lads, once Fergie's Gum made his pick at 6pm last night you should've just PM'd your pick to someone.

zlatan_Ish, Fergus' son, Lifaboy, Anderson18 - any one of you who's online in the next couple of hours just pm your next pick to me, even if you think you'll still be here. We need to move it along quicker.

Lifaboy should've just PM'd his next pick onto Fergus' son if he knew he was going offline. Why is no-one sending a simple PM?
