That.. is.. hypnotizzzing.
 
We pick Neymar. He's not only a massively threatening attacker. He also has nice hair. Managed to justify the ridiculous amount of hype very well and is currently a part of one of the best attacking lines in history. I would post a picture, but I'm at work, so I will edit it in later.

Sure. Right away Laudrup instead of Iniesta. And I'd partner Nesta with Desailly and Luis Ronaldo leading the line. Now that's some team!
 
My team out of banned players

--------------Van Basten/Ronaldo (Serie A)---------------
----Rivaldo/Goofy(La Liga)------------C.Ron(La Liga)----
------------------Maradona(Serie A )-------------------

---------------------Neuer(Bundesliga)-------------------

Nationalities - Dutch, Brazilian, Argie, German, Italian, Portugese
 
Do people reckon Messi and Diego can work together? I was surprised people thought Platini and Messi would be fine together. I always thought Messi is better with someone like Iniesta who is not an overt number 10 and allows Messi to takeover and influence the game that position.

Bastard! I was hoping people had forgotten about him given some of the names blocked ahead of him...

I'm not sure, actually. But I'm inclined to doubt it.

If we presuppose that Messi gets to play his natural game as much as possible (not giving him a clearly restricted role of some kind), the reason Platini and Messi could work is that Platini could plausibly be doing much of his orchestrating work from a fairly deep position - in other words, not really as a No 10: He'd be doing something similar (not really, but sort of) to what Xavi does in what you'd call an ideal set-up for Messi.

Maradona is different. His natural tendency would see him operate in a way that would interfere with Messi's game to a greater extent. Maradona was often at his most dangerous when he roamed into - well - any position in the final third to work his magic. I don't see that as ideal, really.

I love him but it was probably a bit early.

He would never have made it back to them for round two though once 30 other players had been picked so all relative to what your tactic is i guess.

Too early IMO but forward pool is pretty thin so you never know how it will turn out.

I make the next pick after 30 players have been picked. I don't think there's any chance I could have got a match winner like him in that rounds.

His record in Italy is incredible too.

But then that's not optimum usage of Platini either. In fantasy teams, you will have to ask some players to compromise their roles but I don't think that was worth it with Platini. Better off with another CM

I agree - certainly. I didn't really like it either - but I could see how it might not be positively off.

It's fine. There are about 5 players for you to pick as your first pick and he's also Swedish so that's a small plus.

@crappycraperson :lol::lol: over to you mate
 
I'm surprised Kaka made it to us, for me was the obvious pick from the ones that were not blocked.
