@Cutch
 
I pick Eidur Gudjohnsen, linking up again with Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, one of the great PL strike partnerships, in their 4 years at Chelsea. Over 50 goals between them in the 01/02 season.

Heres 10 minutes of of beautiful on pitch chemistry.

At this stage, might as well. :D

Far better players still knocking about. I actuallly can't put a screenshot of what my United '95 team looks like because it has three unpicked players between starters and bench.

CRW also pretty much announced that he's going for a diamond soon as he picked hamann, so made sense for him as well.

I was too busy shitting myself about Tuppet's imminent pick to care about CRW's plans after he picked Hamann :D. Juninho would be a great choice at the tip of a diamond, although I'm not sure that formation necessarily lends itself to getting the best from Cantona.

I did not know he was this highly rated.

Let's put it this way: if Zola is a first round pick Juninho can't be more than 4th/5th round. In their day and age they were as influential as each other. Of course, injuries meant one's performances and reputation nose-dived while the other maintained the same level for 3-4 years and therein lies 90% of the difference between the two.

Yeah it make sense, esp him playing with Middlesbrough. I thought there are a few other players who would be picked before him, but yeah he would be a good fit for my team.

Well no, actually, if you factor that in he has more chance to start a final than Gianfranco does. And I love Zola, don't get me wrong.

Great picks Crappy/MJJ. I really love the Berbatov pick after Keane/Ince and the Park pick too. Also Gallas-Desailly-Campbell-Bridge is one ugly defense, very Mourinho like with Gallas-Desailly and Bridge playing for Chelsea and Campbell would be a beast in that same tactics.

De Jong, Fletcher, Woodgate and Butt are also great picks for these rounds. (There were more great ones.)
 
Just a question of the club restriction interpretation: if a player played at one club in a particular position, moved elsewhere and played in another, if the player's abilities hadn't changed much, unlike say Scholes, would it be fine to play them in the position of the second club but assign the club as the first on the basis they had the skill set to perform there despite rarely playing in such a position.

I hope that's clear

Disagree on the last line, only Woodgate there stands out for me. Skizzopat are shaping up nicely for a thrid time lucky.

Not my show to run but for my money that sounds a bit fishy.

For a precedent, see the last Euro draft. A player who played as a midfielder for club X, but only as a fullback for his country, would be frowned upon as a midfielder given the premise of the draft.

Not really a question of whether he could, plausibly, play as this or that - more a question of limiting the managers' options in a logical manner.
 
Wouldn't say that either Butt or Fletcher was any worse in his pomp than Woodgate. Quite to the contrary, actually.

I thought that might be the case.

Yeah but they're what, 23rd and 24th Man Utd picks. There's so many better options for United that they'll only last one round

Presuming the right players get knocked out and you're in the right picking order - yes.

Woodgate is decent enough given the context, by all means. Best available pick at the time? Nah. Wouldn't say so.

No doubt. But do they have to last more at this stage in the draft? Also what is the chances for any one team to pick up Scholes/Keane who are the only ones who will truly push them out of the team?

Worth the risk in my eyes. Butt was part of the team of the year and all and I doubt anybody will question Fletcher as an important role in a great team. The same goes for Park, who may be questioned for the fact that his greatest performances came in Europe? Overall I would at least consider them very solid picks at this stage.

You can keep Woodgate in defence for a few games easily, while Butt/Fletcher pretty much dictate your entire upgrade strategy. "You want Ronaldo huh? So you need a new CM too". Terrible picks if you ask me, there's a few United players knocking around that may be worth going for because there aren't too many options in that role (e.g. a certain winger) but there's truckloads of CMs of a similar or better standard than Butt/Fletcher, let alone De Jong.
 
And let's not kid ourselves: Any United player (bar Rooney, of course - and possibly Nani) will get extra points here. Not least the likes of Butt and Fletcher.

See above. Butt and Fletcher will easily be higher rated than any non-United alternative on roughly the same level.
