:lol: Aye, that was quite the emphatic way to eliminate his weak links. Good strengthening from all the remaining teams really. Interested to see how Beam uses Rijkaard, and good to see Jinky getting selected at the business end of a draft.
I’d imagine Jim keeping the shape and Rijkaard upgrading Stielike. He probably managed to get the best of this round upgrading two positions.

there were some tasty combos depending on the needs. One was Zidane/Vieira which crossed my mind but Pele was too good to pass on even as a single upgrade.

Aye probably, although there's another intriguing option too.
 
Thought that @Enigma_87 would get Maradona or Matthaus. That would be a tasty midfield to that attack.
Nah, Matthaus was never on the cards. The base with Essien and Schweinsteiger is good enough IMO to provide protection to the back four whilst freeing the attacking 4 to do their thing.
I thought about Maradona but Pele / Garrincha was too good to pass.

Besides Pele works best with a striker up front (Batistuta) and Ronaldinho will add up some playmaking that will compliment Pele.

I thought about Zidane but Pele adds more goals and obviously a lot more quality in other areas.
 
Teams got stuck in traffic on the coach. Late kick off

apologies to the eager fans/voters

Please send your 1st selection within the next 24 hours.
 
Am joking anyway...;) Although, he would fit quite nicely (wouldn't made in top 3 though)

Will send in a few minutes.

We're unlikely to overlap but most probably would've had to block him if we're thinking about the same one.

Would've fit you nicely.

Nah, I wouldn't (or won't) go for him in the end. Chose a bit a different route, but yeah, a very good fit and quite close to make the list.

Pretty sure my 1st will be block. Let's see...

Was hoping for different pool tbh. Lots of GOAT's neither of which would probably be a good use for me considering I'm already set on attack..

I've scattered my blocks a bit. Not sure who you will go for..

@Jim Beam vs. @Enigma_87
 
@Jim Beam

didn't see that coming. :lol:

But definitely thought you would block Matthaus.

Thought you will either go for Romario or Kohler.
