I'll be around for the next half hour or so. Hopefully we can get it going.

You can leave your pick with me if you have to head.

[diarm]

I have good news and bad news.

Good news is that Redondo was my sensible pick. I needed him to build an actual, functioning team. Now he's gone, I am free to select the silly, muppet pick that deep down, I truly wanted to.

The bad news is that @Enigma_87 also wanted to pick Redondo so now we have to wait.

 

[Physiocrat]

Sammer

 

[mazhar13]

The bad news is that @Enigma_87 also wanted to pick Redondo so now we have to wait.

Is @MJJ around to pick for him? Now is a great time for an AM to help speed things up.

 

[Enigma_87]

Is @MJJ around to pick for him? Now is a great time for an AM to help speed things up.

No need. I think he'll be ok with the other choice.

can someone please tag Plácido Domingo, Luciano Pavarotti & José Carreras

Looking beautiful so far

There are other similar options, some better than Redondo too.

Stop trying to make me play sensible.

 

[Physiocrat]

If possible when leaving picks with fellow drafters can we leave reserve picks if you're picking for specific position since you won't be picking both in any situation? I know it might help an individual drafter but I doubt it'll make much difference. Obviously if it's two players in different positions don't leave both.

This is just guidance to speed the drafting up, not rules in any form.

 

[Theon]

Really?

I think there is one unpicked who is possibly slightly better but he blocks a load of players.

I think Redondo is better than a fair few previously picked but to each his own.

Oh, I had 2 in mind who I consider better than Redondo as a playmaking DM. Both from not so popular countries and very less blocks.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Brehme - van Hanegem is one left flank!

 

[Theon]

Oh, I had 2 in mind who I consider better than Redondo as a playmaking DM. Both from not so popular countries and very less blocks.

One of the ones your hinting at is obvious but I'm not sure what he offers that Redondo doesn't. Whereas the same isn't true vice versa.

I don't know the other one your talking about.

I think you're underrating Redondo. He does block a fair few players however.

 

[The Stain]

No MJJ team is complete without Henry

 

[diarm]

No MJJ team is complete without Henry

If Romario had held on another 8 picks after Cristiano, I was planning to pick him second and Henry 3rd. Then just pick loads of defenders with one good passer, sit back deep and launch the 3 boys on endless counter attacks.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

I think you're underrating Redondo. He does block a fair few players however.

Just to clarify, the better I mentioned was for this reason.
