@Chesterlestreet what about you?
@Chesterlestreet what about you?
Any specific position?
I picked him in the 50s draft. TBH, I don't think I sold him very well at all. We certainly didn't make gifs and compilations back then!
From my player profiles (by the time I was in the final, but he was a first draft player):
ALEKSANDR CHIVADZE
A key player and captain of the USSR in their 1980s WC campaigns. Chivadze was strong, determined, efficient and effective. He organised the defence and got the job done without much fanfare, yet managed to be Soviet Player of the Year (a rarity for defenders) while Blokhin was in his pomp. Chivadze will come in as a sweeper if that tactical option is needed.
Legendary fluke win with Chivadze at the heart of the defence
Oh I think he is fine, I almost picked him in the EE draft.@Tuppet there were different options but I hope that you're happy with Chivadze, not sure if he'd featured in those drafts before which is a shame. Me and Joga considered him last time. Fantastic defender, but what separated him from the rest was his ball-playing ability - and those driving runs forwards He was Dynamo's top scorer one season, playing as a center back (of course he was on penalties and free kick duties, but still)
Probably a good DM somewhat in the DLP mold if possible. Like that Pirlo pick you stole
Nice one @oneniltothearsenal . Rather happy with Viv at RB.
I'm going to need awhile to mull over my pick for Skizzo. I've got a player who fits this spec nicely:
and also fits my nefarious @antohan approved plans really well, but I'm not sure how he'll be perceived quality-wise.
@Edgar Allan Pillow are we allowed to talk about potential picks in this thread or did you change your mind on that?

This is way too civilised.
There's a lot to navigate in between sheep and multiple CL winners. Curtains at RB, for instance.Pillow said No Sheep!

Hmm you're right in the sense that people could have messed with others by picking someone in a position they already have filled.
I din't want that to happen, so permitted discussions in this thread. Anyway you don't have to pick a good player. I just said decent.
I've PMed Anto as he's (more or less) a neutral here. Is that OK? If not I'll just post my pick before opening his response.

You are all forgetting my undying love for this man.
Are you talking about me or player you're nominating?

I really look forward to some of the picks from this round. It'll bring out some of the more unheralded players who deserve some of the limelight for once. Chivadze, in particular, is an awesome player who deserves more recognition.
FFS man, what did I send you all that analysis for. Could have placed five managers in REAL trouble but went for the limp-dicked Skizzo asked for a DM luvvy duvvy choice.feck it, he's not exactly Pirlo in terms of passing range but he's good on the ball, excellent defensively, very versatile, and potentially rules out a few heavy-hitters if they land on the Skizz Me Not box.
