New Fantasy Draft
- Thread starter Cal?
- Start date
Phelans said that i may take his picks. Cause he may not be available. I wont be available tomorrow either. so if he doesnt pick in an hour or so i will make the 2 picks before i go to sleep tonight.
We have an ALL STAR lined up. An absolute footballing genius, a man who would lead the team to Glory. Its shocking that such a supreme talent wasnt picked yet.

I repeat, anyone picking Messi will get disqualified in the first round for fielding an over-age player.
There is still a real standout on my list, but I just can't fit him into the team
I didnt say new times Jesus or smth. I just said ALL STAR. I think he is easily on par with all the 2nd round picks. and maybe even with some of the 1st rounders.
get on with it then..i'm curious
You have me all curious about this mystery pick...
Anyway, I think my team looks great as it is and I have a few GK choices, so no worries there.
Well we do have stars here, I will let Val to do the pics (or i will when i can)
The main attraction this round, part english part german all great, Lewis holtby
The last piece of the jigsaw, gonna be a star it's Roberto Canella

Same here, there's still a bunch of quality players available just no room for them in my team
knew hotby would be picked eventually.
Canella is a very promissing player. Was terrific in the under 19 championships. But hardly the player to lead your team to glory

Cal when's the draw going to be for the first round of matches?
Ok PS i do it with pictures.
So Firstly let me bring it to you. The ALL STAR. Half German, Half English. He is the Captain of German U21 team. He is one of the brightest young stars in Bundesliga. The Future of football he is Lewis Holtby
The last pick. Is the guy i didnt know much about before Phelan Shorts mentioned him. According to PS the kid is nailed to be a huge star for Barcelona. And lets face it PS rarely gets it wrong. The Future team-mate of Leo Messi - Roberto Canella

Right I'm going to sleep, so can anyone on my behalf post my next pick.
i really hope PS team gets walrus.. that kid as a manager is the worst.
Some secondary keeper of bayern, some player from second division. Gibson... and the likes of Song and Evans for leaders i mean come on is he having a laugh or what.Look at ps team. all players play in the top leagues. all are the star players of their respective teams. all internationals.
Valentino is going to post my pick. Big thanks to him.

The problem with PS's side is that it appears to be lacking in a target man, leaving Pato all alone upfront doesn't seem to be his best position.
dude making no promise. just said that i will be up for like an hour. if walrus doesnt post till then, nothing i can do.
That Holtby kid is the one to lead to glory dude.
meh, a good season with Mainz hardly classes him as a star of the future.
I am up for the next 5-6 hours, if anyone needs me to make their pick.
He got me all excited and anxious for no reason.
who?

Strong midfield, world class striker, pretty poor defence, iffy wingers, unreliable goalkeeper. I woudn't be so confident.
At a quick glance at least 3 teams in draft better than PS.
same
well that just you opinion. I think the team ha a terrific keeper, solid defence. And ok wingers. with most dominating central midfield and the best striker on this game. And dont forget that team will be strengthened after each win.
That was a hilarious build up for an anti-climax. Whether or not Holtby becomes the next great thing of football as you suggest, the game involves appealing to the redcafe masses he is hardly going to standout on a teamsheet as much as a Pato or Ozil. He won't even be as regarded as some currently average but promising PL players due to his obscurity.
Part of this game is to know your audience.

Yeah me and knut has discarded plenty of hot prospects for less talented but more established players. We actually have a similar dilemma for our final pick
OK, my final pick.
Arguably underrated on the caf, very promising young centre back with plenty of experience under his belt already - even though disrupted by injuries.
Michael Mancienne
And that concludes my team. Solid defensively, a balanced midfield and a formidable, pacy attack.

There goes one of our potential final picks
I thought about picking Mancienne till I read the opinions that Wolves fans had of him on their forums.
Unfavourable to say the least. Still good team Walrus.

...he's no Chris Wood though, is he?
now there is a player that can lead a team to glory
As was mentioned earlier, it's about playing to the audience somewhat - my priorities have been to try to pick players that will be well known amongst the caf, and ones with plenty of experience.
Without naming any names, I feel that some of the teams here where half the players are barely recognisable surely won't fare so well?
It's no coincidence that I picked quite a few united (or ex united) players - not just a shit knowledge base and scouting network
After this round we should share the remainders of our lists
Pick for KM
as a left back

I don't see how I can fail with every United fan's favourite "younger than Messi" player right now.Oh come on man. Are suggesting that a kid who is the Captain of german U21 and that has already senior cap. Who this season was one of most talked about players in Bundesliga. wouldnt be recognized by red cafe?
Even England media talked tons about him. After his first few MOM awards for Mainz. He was all over the media telling Fabio Capello not to miss on potential superstar as he was eligible for england call up.
I am sure he will be rated higher than the likes of Welbeck, Cleverly or f'ing Gibson.
And by the way he can be as deep laying forward to change formation to 442. If PS wanted.
