Stars and Reserves Draft - Winner: Gio

Drawing the guy who designed the draft can't be a good omen for me

I would have preferred to draw someone else because it feels like I'm playing against you in every draft lately:nervous:

I am surprised that I got both Evra and Jorginho, in my opinion the two best wing backs in the reserve pool. I was pissed when Leandro got drafted because he was my backup option for Jorginho and I never expected him to last till the end.

Or maybe I got the Brazilian right backs ratings wrong and Leandro is the better one? Of course there is Maicon as well, who went even earlier. I am confused.

Can I have some expert opinion on this? @oneniltothearsenal

We picked Sagnol who i rate quite highly.. Think Jorginho, Sagnol, Leandro are pretty much at the same level?
 
I'd probably pick Maicon ahead of the rest, the guy was a beast, shame that it didn't last long.

Was going to say the same, he'd be my first choice there. I picked Kimmich early as the best young player available though

Yeah agree for the most part. Would take him over Jorginho for sure. It's hard to overlook how short that peak was though. And as with all modern defenders, it's very easy to remember their horror shows - especially those past their peak. It is a perception but perceptions matter.

I'd put Sagnol a level above for his consistency and performances at the highest level of multiple competitions. Leandro alongside him on quality, but not perceptions
 
It's pointless ranking tier 2 full backs. They all get treated the same irrespective of what they were good at doing.
 
I picked Armfield who I rate quite highly.. Think Jorginho Maicon, Sagnol, Hernandez, Leandro are pretty much at the same level?

I'd put Armfield ahead based on proven performance across different top competitions, but overall they are on same level.

I don't know but between Maicon and Leandro, I'd rate Kimmich higher.

Regarding modern players, it's hard to overlook how short that peak was though. And as with all modern defenders, it's very easy to remember their horror shows - especially those past their peak. It is a perception but perceptions matter.

Anyway, it's pointless ranking tier 4 full backs. They all get treated the same irrespective of what they were good at do

I'm too exhausted to think straight but I'd rate Jorginho more all around and Leandro better attacking but its fairly close I'd say

Interesting pick hard to know how to rate him.

Just scored against Liverpool.. He’s the greatest ever.. Did Redondo ever score against Liverpool?

Tbf: He’s probably amongst the top youth prospects right now and has been doing very well for a while. Even at his previous club you could see his talent

Would love to have him at United

Between Jorginho and Leandro, I'd rate Jorginho higher.

Totally understand the unimpressive perception towards Leandro - and I accept the challenge to prove you wrong! :D - but don't understand the Jorginho rating at all...

On world cup performances they're level at best, and Leandro consistently performed at that level for years in multiple positions...while Jorginho was a relatively unimpressive player otherwise. What makes you think Jorginho had a better career, or a much higher peak?
 
By the way I'm very drunk so might not realise my go until a while later...and haven't got a clue what my pick is yet

But I will make some kind pic at some point in the wee hours of the morning :D I won't go over the limit!

It's your turn now:)
 
Brwned is 'very drunk' so maybe not in a position to make a pick so that maybe he should take the most enlightened decision in the morning;

which doesn't prevent @Don Alfredo to collect via PM the picks of GodSaveTheQueen in the meantime
 
I'm alive! Just need to roll a spliff as I think. Then will pass on my next pick to mr god

Ah man my timing was so bad. Just 1 min too early! Sorry folks. Kept alert as long as was physically possible
