Decades Chain Draft
- Thread starter Šjor Bepo
- Start date
Been 3 days since round 11 ended. Interest running thin at this point.
Where’s king Beam?
I have a feeling we might end up adding Haaland to block lists soon, until the end of this season at least when we can take stock of the freaky shit he's doing a bit better.Yeah, it makes sense to wait out this season. But just for a little shit-stirring: He already has a good 3-year peak of consistent scoring against elite sides.
A little more really, as he took off in 19/20, when he scored 10 in 554 CL minutes for Salzburg & Dortmund (6 of them vs Pool, Napoli & PSG). That's practically the same rate as for City so far.

sorry boys been busy lately and considering caf doesnt work on my phone for some reason its been hard to follow once per day.....sorry for the wait. @Invictus can do the draw so you can arrange games.
Maybe worth changing browser. On my phone I can't get Chrome to work but Brave does.
What about Beam Team? It'd be a waste to let it go unfinished.
@Pat_Mustard When is good for you? I can play anytime from now excluding Saturday and Sunday.
I can wait for Beam, let’s wait for him before the game start.
Any day except weekends is good for me @NM . When?
Friday or Monday? We are on opposite sides of the world so will probably have very little overlap. I'm on PST in the US. You are back on IST right? or are you still in the US on EST?

EST NY. Let's do Friday. Maybe start by afternoon my time so we have some overlap.
I'll send to Sjor, Physio and Pat.
Probably a good thing that @Jim Beam plays @Lord SInister They can knock each other out as no shows.
We can wait for them to show up. I'm off with the wife on a mini honeymoon (10 years!) Thursday to Sunday. Can do Wednesday or Monday if needs be.

@Michaelf7777777 , I can do today or tomorrow if that works for you
Who can I send the writeup to? It doesn't allow me to message Sjor.
Oh for sure. I think it's fair to say that even if he disappeared off the face of the earth tomorrow he's worth a place in all-time drafts based on what he's done so far. It's just so hard to assess how highly he should be rated at the moment.
Tomorrow or else next Monday would be best for me. Whichever you prefer.
I'd prefer sometime next week

Messages to Edgar not going through either, although I can get as far as composing the message and clicking the button to send it. The Redcafe messaging system is garbage, no idea why.
@Enigma_87
Monday 31st Oct ok?

Totally get your point & agree with it. Current performances over a career would probably make him a top 10 CF of all time, but too early to rate him like this in drafts yet. Also still some way to go in terms of big game résumé, which will take a few seasons. However, in the one major final he played (DFB cup vs RBL) he of course scored a brace.
Radamel Falcao scored as many as the cyborg with Porto and then Atletico. Is he considered worth a place in all-time drafts?
Then you have the like of Aubameyang with Dortmund then Arsenal.

@crappycraperson When do you want to play? I can't do Friday, but can do tomorrow or Saturday/Sunday/Monday.
No, but per consensus neither is Haaland. Although I'd say peak Falcao (who like Auba never scored at Haaland-so-far levels) is kind of underrated and could feature more in less stacked drafts.
I'd take Falcao more often, there are 1-2 centre-forwards who are picked regularly who IMO aren't any better.
But it comes down to a maximum of 16 centre-forwards picked in all-time drafts, when there are probably 30-40 heavy-duty goalscorers who could all stake a claim to be involved. I suppose what it comes down to is fit and attributes - Haaland's size, power and goalscoring make him stand out somewhat.
Sent my writeup to an old convo with EAP. Nothing else worked.
@General_Elegancia when would you like to play? I don't plan on saying much and my writeup is like a handful of lines so there wouldn't be much discussion - I'm a bit busy these days with both work and family stuff.

Peak Falcao was amazing. It's such a pity he became such a shell of himself later on. His poor showing for United (and all the teams after) probably reflects badly on his overall career and how he is rated.
Distinct lack of Lewa in this discussion! As good a scoring rate but longer and consistent than any names mentioned above.
Aguero should be in there ahead of most names mentioned too.

Yups. I don't get the fascination with Trezeguet, for example. Shoved in alongside Del Piero, yeah, ok, partnership, etc. but as a striker I get more excited seeing Falcao upfront.
Actually, due to some unexpected events, I don't think I would be able to continue participating in the current draft.
@Šjor Bepo , you can award Michael the game or proceed whichever way you want.
I'd be more than happy if @antohan can take over the team as it came out to be pretty nice and I was excited to present it in the games.
If no one wants to take it over, below is the end product just so I don't feel all this was a waste of time.
nah the game will be open, its not like match debates are a must....
