Good man. You'd have deserved to spend the entire match thread talking about Julio Cesar if you hadn't upgraded him at this stage :). Your attack is fecking awesome as it is.

aye depend on how important the GK position will be seen for example if Skizzo/Annah don't upgrade Courtois and whether that upgrade would've been worth it as Aldo mentioned :)
 
@antohan what happens if Desailly for example is the player we have to drop, will we keep all or you just randomize those left excluding him?

Cmoon Julio Cesar, be the one to go. You won't get first team football anymore :wenger:

Player protected :
Skizzo/Annah - Beckenbauer
Enigma - Desailly
Tuppet - Messi
Jayvin - Facchetti

to have it on this page as well.

But you have Akinfeev! Don't know why you'd need anyone else when you have the keeper than conceded in 41 consecutive games in CL :lol:

Sorry, that record amazes me more than any of Ronaldo/Messi's ones

edit: maybe it's 42 now though, I lost track

Yep, he's my sheep. Bet ya if some lose a keeper(bar Jayvin) he'll be a hot commodity for a trade :D Akinfeev for Beckenbauer for example.
 
The list goes in:

Kocsis
Henry
Jairzinho
Platini
Davids
Keane
Stam
Ferdinand
Thuram

None of the others have elected to include their keeper.

Well they could still pick a keeper in the next turn I guess, so they would be ok. Both in the EE and 80-100 pool I think there are quality keepers. Would've been interesting if they landed on 13 or 1 and lose a keeper. Outfield player in goal? That would be first.

aye, or lose them. I think they've got a bit prominent in the latest drafts and this one as well.

EDIT: Ahh got ya I think there was a game where "Goalie" was playing in it. :D
 
Apparently one of @Jayvin's players had a skiing accident

Edgar%20Davids

Edgar explains how skiing without glasses left him partially blinded for the foreseeable future.

It's funny sometimes indeed, especially with arrows - have to resubmit several times because you either lose a player's name or arrows point to 6 directions.

Looking at this one I'm contemplating of creating a template like the rest of the guys as it will be easier to maintain.

I usually have 11 players all in the right position. Go to add arrows and 6 of them dissappear whilst 4 of the other 5 jump on top of each other like omega kind of weird orgy. I've given up with the site now and just have to ask someone that isn't my opposition to knock one up for me.
 
In a bizarre turn of events, the mod forgot to exclude Yashin initially so rolled again without him.

@Tuppet may not be happy with this, we shall give him the choice, poor sod.
 
First randomisation victim:

After re-running without Yashin (not that it had made any difference):

Aye, it's frustrating a bit, but not to that extend for me. Still one of the best for formation tactics the other are even worse. Have you considered changing the browser?
 
It's now @Enigma_87s turn on the randomiser:

Ronaldo
Ronaldinho
Eusebio
Souness
Xavi
Schuster
Alves
Schnellinger
Chumpitaz
Julio César
 
ооf close one. Happy it wasn't Alves.

Alves and Desailly were the ones I couldn't have lost as there is no fecking right back in my pool.

Funny thing is
Schnellinger, Xavi, Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Schuster - all were in the pool afterwards and there was 50% chance I'd pull a onenil there picking them again. :D

There's no onenil to pull, the player is injured but still in your squad. Maybe they recover for the final.

Or not.

SURPRISE ROUND OUTCOME

Skizzo/Annah: Protect Beckenbauer, Giggs Injured
Enigma: Protect Desailly, Chumpitaz Injured
Tuppet: Protect Messi, Bossis/Cruyff Injured (choose)
Skizzo/Annah: Protect Facchetti, Davids Injured

The point was to reward strength in depth and tactical flexibility. Much like it would be rewarded in real life, as injuries DO happen.

Yeah, that was carnage for Jayvin, a double hit. Very well behaved too. Mods are worried there's not enough drama and no meltdowns...

We may need to go up a gear and let token bamboozling trickle into this.
