Sir Matt:
Manager draft
- Thread starter Annahnomoss
- Start date
Angelo has 90 more mins? Has hasn't been on since yesterday noon (my time).
No Paddy?
I would drop Stiles for Whelan or Taylor and go WM/4-2-4.
How does that work?
Too much of a Yes Man...I'm having Keano on board here as a consultant...
Zzzzzzz
Erm, it wouldn't. Don't know why I wrote 4-2-4. This is what I meant, more of a MM...
Obviously a formation like that is draft suicide but I'd want to squeeze in as many attackers as possible
That looks bloody awesome, I bet it would rake in the votes on here too
Hehe - people wouldn't dare NOT to vote for it.
If we go for draft suicide we might as well go all the way:
It's cheating a bit - with Charlton as an offensive halfback of sorts there, and Law as an inside forward.
They would score, though. And Big Dunc would drop back and scare the feck out of every attacker from Dixie Dean to Luis Suarez - so, yeah, I reckon they'd win.

Agreed, draft form aside, the moment I saw that lineup Lucio jumped at me as a poor effort not to play Terry.
---------------Cech
Zannetti-Terry-Carvalho-Cole
-------------Makelele
-----Lampard-----Deco
Robben-----------------Cristiano
--------------Drogba
Screw the haters, that's his best XI by a mile and Makelele makes that trio possible, realistic, albeit lightweight in typical draft "midfield battles".
I feel ashamed, when putting together that Robson lineup off the top of my head I based myself on Barca far too much. Balakov absolutely must be in it. Lightweight midfield maybe, but on the ball... god help their rivals!
Do we have a back-up plan, if @AngeloHenriquez doesn't show up? It kinda sucks, if we skip him now, it's such a huge disadvantage if you miss the first pick and we have to wait another 8 hours anyway, when harms makes his two picks, which would be really annoying.
I hope he shows up soon, but maybe we could use a stand-in manager until he shows up, who picks the first two players for him? Like @Theon last time for MJJ. Maybe @antohan or @Chesterlestreet . Capello isn't really the most difficult manager to start with.

Time is up indeed.
This. Anybody feel interested in just making a pick for him?

I think you've just invented the TM
Well it will definitely be tested when you'll have midfields like Bosquets-Xavi-Iniesta with Messi upfront which carried you all through to the finals(or winning?) the auction draft, or Keane-Scholes which is emotionally impossible to vote against and each manager has his share of it..
Do I pick now? Or are we waiting for someone to pick for him?
Preferably Antohan or any neutral just makes a random pick for him.
Okay. Tag me when it's my turn
Alright, continue @harms make your pick. He will have a double pick soon.
I think it's better if a neutral gives him those two picks, so go ahead choose one, let harms pick his two and give him a second one
. Then we can move on and hopefully he shows up when it's his turn again. If not, we have to look for a replacement anyway.If Angelo misses his next pick we'll find a replacement.
So we have to wait another 8 hours now?
That's reasonable. He will now have a further 8hrs to show up - and if he does, he gets two picks. That's as fair as it gets.
Just replace him now. It is pointless waiting 8 hours
With Baggio gone, there's only 3 other players that constitute a significant overlap with Trap and I wouldn't take any of them as first round picks tbh. I would be far more worried at the carnage between his 2nd and 3rd pick and would pick accordingly.
Ergo, @harms should pick, as is usually the case when you miss your pick. If it means missing out on one of those three, tough shit. He gets another eight hours and that's it.
For my money that's a bit harsh. He's only missed one deadline, after all. Could be stuck in traffic for all we know.
EDIT @crappycraperson
EDIT @crappycraperson
Let's give him a little while longer. Someone can be at work for 8 hours or asleep. He was here yesterday, so if he isn't here in a while we'll look for a replacement.
He rightfully has them.
This.
If needed I can pick him a GOAT duo.
No taking advantage I promise. Flexible for him to build on it too.

Replacing him now seems too harsh to me as well. We definitely should give him the chance to get back into the game. I'd still prefer the stand-in manager solution, but waiting is clearly better than replacing him now.
No, just no, wait for your turn draft junkie!
It's his first draft AFAIK, cut the guy some slack.
Think EAP was joking, he's the 2nd Capello guy, he's clearly the last one who should pick for him

Exactly, I thought about the overlap and Trap's own contested pool and it made zero sense for you to challenge him for a RB or striker.
And
