In the meantime, if you are nailing yourself to a diamond in an EPL draft you absolutely 100% need Henry to have any chance of seeing it through.

Yeah, my predicted series of picks saw CRW take Henry (a perfect diamond striker) on the proviso he'd switch Dixon for a more expansive wing-back.

I much prefer what he ended up with. Sure, that could have been a temporary fix but some of the problems would have still existed such as Hamann, Wise and Speed all being too defensive and not very creative while Okocha occupies the key spot of linking midfield and defense which again wouldn't go down that well.

He's now moved towards a formation familiar to a lot of his players. One of Wise/Speed makes way for a fantastic winger, one of the best in the draft. Cantona is right at the heart of the team, playing ahead of two DMs and having everything revolve around him just like he likes it and what he excelled in, and he knows Kanchelskis too well as well. The back four is as solid as it comes and with the pressure of providing width relieved there's no problem left there. And the PL top scorer up front to end it all.

It's way better than having Henry-Cantona in that same diamond would have been, imo.

So far, the only predicted picks of mine that are close to right are my own. And those only just.

Who do you think would have been an actual upgrade on Dixon, topping his peak, without losing the defensive steel?

I was actually thinking of another formation. It essentially plays the same way (almost), but the positioning is different.

hey ho...

He could play Speed out wide too. Leeds version, if you will. He wasn't too shabby.

Very good option that. And that would make the flank defensively more solid, though Okocha's invention on one side can be useful. Depends on the opposition, good to have a couple of variations.

Clearly can't do it without losing the defensive steel. I reckon the comment was made with a diamond in mind. An offensive RB who'd be a more natural fit in a diamond (which Dixon isn't). All about that diamond, though. If you don't actually go for a diamond - but a more custom made set-up - the point is moot and Dixon doesn't need an upgrade.
 
Aye, Dixon imo is only behind Neviller in the RB pool and not far behind either. He was a mainstay for Arsenal for years, and an era where Arsenal far famous for their backline.

I guess if you are thinking of an RB for a diamond who isn't a dud at the back, it has to be Zabaleta.

Just looking down the order and if i pass on this chap now he could easily end up with Gio to add even further to his already strong spine. I think we'd all be fecked then so here goes:

Stam.jpg

That means this man gets a promotion into the side:

Roland Nilsson

According to the Sheffield Wednesday chant numbers one to eleven were Roland Nilsson. Sometimes quietly going about your job in a consistent and unassuming manner gets you a mild respect but at Hillsborough it makes you a legend. While Nilsson is hardly likely to spring to the mind of most fans when naming the best foreigners to play in the Premiership, at Sheffield Wednesday he’ll always be top of the list. The Swedish international was a regular during the team’s ‘glory days’ of the early nineties which saw top five finishes and trips to cup finals as part of the norm. Men like Chris Waddle and David Hirst may have got the headlines, but no Wednesday player got as much affection from many of the fans as Nilsson. His managerial stint at Coventry was far less successful and his name certainly isn’t sung there. At Wednesday however he remains a cult hero.

Who would have thought Roland Nilsson would become every manager's favourite player...

Cutch seems like the winner of this round so far with crw with what could be a real masterstroke.

CRW is definitely most improved for me. He's completely changed his team with 2 excellent picks.

Cutch was clever in planning for his move since the beginning and Skizzo has picked well, although he was already strong.

It was a good move, indeed, he now has a stunning front two, his fullbacks miraaculously turn from liabilities to one of the best pairs in the draft...

However, it's Speed-Didi-Wise-Kanchelskis AFAIC.

It's quite odd that those at the far end of the picking order seem to have done better than those starting it.

Edit: Actually, it isn't, the pool is brilliant and being able to have both picks next to each other probably helps more than what you give up from coming later, particularly if everyone passes on Henry and Scholes :lol:

Gary Speed on the left is a better idea than Okocha out wide.

J J did a lot of business from out wide as well, I won't mind seeing him start against a fullback who'd struggle against a tricky player, and where the flank doesn't need much protection from midfield. Of course, Speed is a good option as well, there.

I doubt JJ would get any credit TBH. Speed also makes it a more balanced midfield, offering different options on either flank. I'd expect the right flank to be more about Kanchelskis trickery while on the left you would have Speed and Irwin 1-2ing fulllbacks all day long.

Yeah, makes sense.

Think i called that right then that you were getting Stam if i hadn't intervened.

Vidic and Kompany is good but along with Vertonghen could have a mistake in it.
Click to expand...

We were 50/50 between the two - I was leaning towards Vidic who has the longer Premier League pedigree and better aerial ability, whilst Gio was leaning towards Stam for his pace. Overall we weren't fussed though.

Do you really think there was a significant difference between Vidic and Stam? I couldn't split them at all and Vidic certainly wasn't more error prone.

Stam had 3 amazing seasons. Vidic was outstanding but it was clearer what his Achilles heel was
