I've got Cubemines picks so tag me when it's his turn
16) D. McGrain
Replace Littbarski with an yellow player
Santamaria as a 15th round pick, his stock has fallen massively these last few years
He's been getting a lot of unfair criticism around here lately so his stock is pretty low atm, pretty much elsewhere he's normally ranked 5-15 all time. Imo he was one of the best central defenders left, I'm surprised and glad I was able to pick him up when I did.I was half expecting it to be an ineligible pick - thought he'd gone in the star man round. Actually pondered going for him myself in said round.
He may be harder to sell than certain more modern defenders, but his credentials are beyond question. And in this draft we don't have to worry about scan voters.

As I am currently getting to know some of these players for the first time I was looking up Santamaria as well because I was looking for a sweeper or something along those lines and he was rated quite highly in the Peaches ranking. Had a pretty hard time finding anything of substance (did not try excessively hard since there are a lot of players I don't know). So the most insightful thing I had at my disposal was harms' video of his match against Frankfurt in 1960. Call me a spoiled brat but that was some of the most boring footage I have ever seen. I got to see the guy head a ball and hoof it up the pitch, that's about it. I am quite interested to hear what he is rated for because at least that video does not suggest that it is initiating play from the back
Was watching 2 games of Di Stefano and for me Santamaria is more about getting the right partner.
Actually, now that I see my defence he would fit right in. Tresor ot Krol with Santamaria is great.
Read my posts in the last draft. You have the perfect fits for Santamaria. So does 2mufc0 in Scirea.
Vierchowod and Santamaria is of course a bad combo
@GodShaveTheQueen You had some good stuff on him from a recent match of yours
I tried correcting this in 2 games but not 1 person replied to those posts
cubemine picks Ze Roberto and Virgil Van Dijk
Not really. Modern players are reluctantly picked until they peak has ended. Not sure what the rule on naming unpicked players is, but you know it anyway. Plus, the golden draft standard is a 3-year peak at least, it's a bit early for him.Shocking VVD lasted that long after the monstrous season he just had

Chester picks Version @BeforeKeanetherewasRobson
