Las Vegas Monopoly Draft

[antohan]

I did that even when I was playing. You were saying I wouldn't have been able to upgrade well - I wouldn't touch that team especially in attack and midfield. I was almost having to force myself to argue in the matchthread, just way past the motivation needed to go out and fight. And this was I team I really liked - couple of years ago I would have gone all out with everything I could.

I meant that your upgrades would be much harder to come by as there wasn't much to do upfront and coming across real quality at the back is very hard.

Don't tell me you wouldn't take Chester's Pupi...

There's never a reason not to take Pupi!

@Skizzo @Annahnomoss it's your turn to pick the player from the box 12
@Tuppet box 2 after them
@Jayvin box 7

And we'll do the draw, I assume?

 

[Deleted member 101472]

Sorry, but the luck jayvin has had this entire draft isn't even funny. Absolutely no drops or relax, and the two boxes he plays he gets arguably the two best possible. incredible.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

This is dismaying. I got exactly what I wanted with Maldini and a top keeper, and I still don't fancy my chances against any of these feckers.

Hazard will win you every game here. If he wants to.

That on one side and a threesome with Natalie Portman and Mila Kunis on the other, and I dunno what to choose.

The thighs, look at their thighs, that should settle it

Mila is overrated. You should watch Jupiter Ascending. You'll run a mile just hearing her name.

Thighs you say?

Them quads!

(just to be clear the threesome was only with the women)

Natalie is a goddess.

I went with Mila as a tried and tested combination from Black Swan, they've already practiced a few bits.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Thighs you say?

That's freakily stalky.

Maybe next draft like Gio's Tache, we can have a thigh related criteria.

Less than 3 hours left for @Skizzo @Annahnomoss, where are they?

Draw is done with some very juicy matches.

Wait for Jayvin. Sorry.

 

[antohan]

There's still one more roll, or am I the only fecker needing it?

 

[antohan]

Ah, shite, hadn't noticed. Red card, huh? Mmmm... this will take forever.

 

[antohan]

I'm actually spoilt for choice. This is ridiculous, I knew off the top of my head I could get Nilton from the WC but just thought I'd check 3-4 others...

What is it with Club Brugge and getting positional GOATs sent off?

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Ah, shite, hadn't noticed. Red card, huh? Mmmm... this will take forever.

Whom did you drop?

 

[antohan]

How about this @Aldo?

SUBS: Domingos Da Guia, Claude Makelele, Didí, Zé Roberto, Uwe Seeler

 

[antohan]

Whom did you drop?

Didn't you clarify I didn't have to drop if I wasn't in play? Otherwise Da Guia goes, no chance he will ever get a minute with Scirea there.

[oneniltothearsenal]

Wow just catching up and realizing that Pele, Messi, Di Stefano and my poor Maradona are all reinforcement round picks So many teams changing now. This has been a wild draft. I have to say that @MJJ @VivaJanuzaj squad looks dominating but then I look at the other player combos and wonder, what interesting tactics might win the day.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

I'm of a (alcohol induced) good mind to scrap next round reinforcements and introduce a 'reality' injury round. A random player (non GK) of the winners playing 11 gets injured next round with no reinforcements available

 

[Moby]

(alcohol induced)

No need to mention.

I think this is a great idea actually! Admittedly I also had a drink or two. But if you do, do it like a surprise round. It should be like slots or something for more drama. And don't wait for people to pick! have a neutral or something just pick for everyone randomly
