Thanks @Edgar Allan Pillow for updating the reinforcements pool.
We already kicked his ass last game, why would we pick him of all people.

@GodShaveTheQueen @harms draw please
Thought you might have gone for Passarella @Edgar Allan Pillow. Would have been a good partnership with Stam.
When @BorisDeLeFora
I just wanted to stay true to expansive wing play tactics and Lizarazu is upgrade on Evra.
And with Luisito Suarez in midfield, didn't think I'd need Pasarella's playmaking that much.

Mustard has a lot of my darlings. 
We wanted Seeler for most of the draft. Lovely player.
This draft has been a repeat of the last draft for me. Had games against all of P-nut, Himannv and Pat in the last draft as well 
@Pat_Mustard , when do you want to play?

Saturday or Sunday would be good for me mate if you're happy to play over the weekend?
Dang it. Was praying you'd go for Vierchowod rather than Krol
Just to rub salt in the wound, I'm not entirely sure he's going to play in my SF match.Mustard has a lot of my darlings.
Sure, lets do Saturday, I will PM you our tactics so you feel comfortable sharing yours too and I can kick of the game on Saturday.
@Edgar Allan Pillow , kindly coordinate with @BorisDeLeFora and kick off your game if its not too much trouble
And went on to win it! @Šjor Bepo tagging along for the ride this time.This draft has been a repeat of the last draft for me. Had games against all of P-nut, Himannv and Pat in the last draft as well
@Edgar Allan Pillow will send you my write up this evening, can start whenever
Let's do tomorrow (Friday). I'll also get mine ready.
Been checking some of the games in this. Impossible to tell/call anything, which I guess you could expect with an all-time pool playing 4-4-2.

Congratulations on reaching the final @Edgar Allan Pillow @Pat_Mustard
You each get 1 reinforcement for the final. Since the drafting order reverses, Pat goes first.
Once the reinforcements are done and you decide a date for the final, kindly request one of you to create the match thread as you have been doing throughout (much appreciated)
Good luck, may the best 4-4-2 win!
My job here is done.

Any weekday including (late) Monday is good for me Pat. Let me know when you wish to play after you make your pick. Earlier the better!
I'll take Bruno Conti. Either Wednesday or Thursday works for me @Edgar Allan Pillow
Sent to you @Pat_Mustard start whenever tomorrow.
We playing today @Pat_Mustard ?
Aye. I'll do my write up now and set the match up within a couple of hours!
Congratulations on winning the draft @Edgar Allan Pillow and tough luck @Pat_Mustard . Couldn't have been more closer and both of you would have been deserved winner.
I personally felt this was the best draft we have had in a while. Not because I was running or anything, just the quality of match threads, debates and neutral participation was excellent. Not surprising of course as 4-4-2 would be close to any United or British football fan's heart and everyone would consider themselves an expert having grown up seeing this formation for years.

@Earvin Johnson hope you enjoyed your first draft and stick around for the future ones.
