Is @Tuppet banned? Can we pick unpicked players for the reinforcements? Can we pick from the teams that went out in the first round?
 
Wow why would Tuppet be banned :eek: he was around yesterday. Could it be 1-2 days like Sjor for accumulation of points or something?
 
We can make the first three picks in the meanwhile though and by then he should be back or we should have some clarification on his type of ban. @antohan

I'm not a mod, not even a shadow mod. Or a shadow manager for that matter, what a monumental feckup to choose those sweeper-loving numpties :mad:
 
Tuppet? Banned? I wouldn't know about any bribe that was given to the mods to disqualify him.

On a serious note, if we can still see his profile, it has to be temporary? @Tuppet
 
Yes, Raoul lifted the ban. I'll message Tuppet with what I've received as an info.
 
The rolls are

5
3
11
9

Please follow ahead with the picks.

Sorry couldn't update the board. In Airport with 15% battery.

By my count that makes it:

Skizzo/Annah: Box 21 - Galactico-Not
Enigma: Box 2 - Played for Man Utd
Tuppet: Box 13 - drop a player
Jayvin: Box 16 - has played in USA

Happy days for @Jayvin and @Enigma_87
 
Starting from the top this time?
Seriously considering going full muppet on this one.

This is why defence was so important (I prioritised it, only for MJJ to cock it all up). You have Ronaldo, Eusebio and Ronaldinho and can now pick Pelé, Best or Müller.

Ridiculous.

Nope I'm in United's box. Only Best and Charlton.
 
Nah, not complaining at all. Rather mulling over which option is best and if it will fit in the current team without becoming a clusterfeck.
Not being a fan of your midfield, I'll pick McGrath and move Desailly to midfield.

..........Schuster.......
Desailly.... Souness

You already have Eusebio to make runs from the deep. Think Xavi is not really that needed.

What's the midfield missing? Xavi, Schuster and Souness have everything you need IMO.

I personally found his midfield fantastic. Even if you don't like Souness as a pure DM, in the company of Xavi and Schuster who can both defend well it makes sense and doesn't restrict him as much as it usually would. That's a very combative unit with three different complete midfielders.

That would be a horrendous move. Breaks up the entire logic of the team. Not that McGrath would be a bad pick, just not for that reason.
 
That said, I suppose at this stage it's no longer about finishing touches to the team but having options given the other three teams still in it.

I found it strange that you didn't like it to be honest. Personally I love it, cause I can swap either of the three and they won't look out of sorts in terms of creativity, steel, big game players and of course passing range.

Xavi is the best midfielder on the pitch as well and main conductor from deep. I can't possibly find another one with the work rate to boot.

The only option that I'm thinking of breaking that three is putting Charlton on the left with Xavi right and one of Souness/Schuster at holding depending on opposition.

Desailly/Chumpitaz is also pretty complimentary don't want to break that either.
