Tactical Draft

[Skizzo]

I spent way too much time thinking about it considering I was probably way off the mark

 

[prath92]

Guys lets just finish it quickly @Raees @Invictus @Moby @Gio

 

[Ecstatic]

PM sent

Could I be added as well please?

I'm glad you're enjoying yourself. What exactly is funny about being added to the group conversation?

It's their group convo mate! They're a partnership, I'm sure they don't want a rival in their convo.

@Oaencha

Sorry, I thought you were joking

I spent way too much time thinking about it considering I was probably way off the mark

Which teams have you analyzed in depth?

 

[harms]

Raees/Invictus 1. Pirri 2. H. Chumpítaz 3. U. Stielike 4. T. Burgnich 5. Godín

So... 5 center backs?

 

[Ecstatic]

So... 5 center backs?

IIRC, Pirri is a box-to-box, maybe the greatest Spanish one.

Stielike is an interesting case: central defender with his NT but midfielder with his club.

They will probably use a 3-5-2 system.

Edit: Yeah, we can't guess their central player.

It's a winning strategy.

I'm aware.

 

[2mufc0]

Are we any closer to moving on with this?

 

[Ecstatic]

I'm aware.

Sure, you're a veteran drafter.

Are we any closer to moving on with this?

I've already sent my next pick to the committee.

I invite my fellow peers to do the same.

 

[Raees]

Sent ours in this morning

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Still not moved on?

When is the deadline?

 

[Pat_Mustard]

Getting close to deadline time now. Will the results be announced soon? I don't know why I'm so fecking keen given the inevitability of my failure, but it would be good to crack on with the drafting.

 

[BorisDeLeFora]

I'm kind of curious to know if anyone guessed in my player, what they think I'm trying to build, etc.

My choice was kind of an educated guess version of "feck it I'll go with that".

Aye me too.

@Šjor Bepo can we get who people tried to guess, I think will be interesting to see. Kinda like the sheep draft:

Manager 1 - guessing Balu - FAIL
Manager 2 - guessing Anto - FAIL
Manager 3 - guessing Balu - SUCCESS

something like that.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

I went with what I thought was obvious.... To make BotD, I suppose. Anto must be grinning.

 

[Ecstatic]

 

[Ecstatic]

Sent ours in this morning

As I did, please don't hesitate to send your pick (your 6th CB) to the committee if you're ready.

The same applies for prath92

 

[Šjor Bepo]

sorry was busy so wasnt able to get online, results in few minutes

 

[Šjor Bepo]

We have a WINNER!

Look forward to hearing this story later.

 

[Ecstatic]

It was impossible to guess the central players of 15 teams but it was a no-brainer regarding RT given the spirit of the draft whose direct consequences are the rules.

 

[antohan]

10 teams tried to guess RT, 9 have no brains then.

Did anything on the thread lead everyone to try RT? He hasn't picked a single attacking player and most of his picks haven't played with anyone which you could rule out by association.

Bizarre. At least with Skizzo, for example, you have a clear idea of what his guy isn't.

Bizarre. At least with Skizzo, for example, you have a clear idea of what his guy isn't.

Yeah. RT made a mistake with the rules when he made his first pick:

As balu said, everyone should know who the player was....
Costacurta played with Tiger's central player so he will need to replace his pick while you guys get a clue for the special round.

so we were able to whittle down the block list to eliminate everyone who didn't play with Costacurta. There were a few more who you could rule out by association with his subsequent picks, so the odds were much better with RT than anyone else.

Oh I remember now. Mini crisis that in the mod convo. Do we tell? Does he get to keep Bobby for several rounds before losing and replacing him?

Then we figured Costacurta had probably played with half the eligible players from the block list. Some clue that.

Yeah, discounting the GKs and defenders I had the list narrowed down to 17 players, and harms reckoned it was only 13 players, and there were several GOATs in there who could be taken out of the reckoning. I was actually semi-optimistic that I'd gotten it right, which is most unlike me.

 

[prath92]

I just tried to guess a rather obscure player who played with Costacurta who probably played for AC/Italy and who you wouldn't imagine played in the same era and guessed a name. Safe to say it didn't work

 

[antohan]

That was good thinking actually. We could actually make a ranking of how stupid you all think RT is having that brainfart. Suffice to say, you overrated him. Massively. Most seemed to think he was a complete moron.

 

[P-Nut]

We went with the player who was most niche out of the ones that played with Costacurta

@Edgar Allan Pillow
@Enigma_87

Not a great idea to confirm who it isn't.
