The 4-Way Draft

Thanks for pointing out my star striker would only be a nice squad option for you ;)

Haha, no mate, just I'm looking for a different type of CF alongside Eusebio. Greaves is class obviously and I think was picked in one of the all time drafts before. :)
 
If I may take the liberty of posting SkizzoPat's Reserves Draft team as I fecking loved it:

Yfads-formation-tactics.png


vs Joga and RT's first round team:

Crazy quality there considering that was solely after the initial drafting, and a really good drafting process as all the usual certainties as to who people would pick first were out the window.
 
@Pat_Mustard damn next draft I'll participate I'm definitely going with 4-4-2. It's a shame that it's one of the formations I haven't tried yet.

I don't think anything looks 'cleaner' on a formation graphic than a simple 4-4-2. Such a satisfying formation to build when it turns out right.
 
@Pat_Mustard @Joga Bonito @Enigma_87

Cheers, I am reading through some of that draft now, very interesting sides and yes more talent than a "reserves" draft implies. I like giving Greaves a little stick though since he was Spurs-Chelsea player :wenger:
 
Oh yeah @Raees could have grabbed Greaves as well

Greaves, meanwhile, endured a torrid start to his Milan career before the season had even begun. Indeed, it’s tempting to conclude his Italian adventure was doomed right from the start. Greaves missed his initial flight after enjoying a champagne lunch at the airport before eventually arriving in Italy drunk. His next visit was delayed by his wife’s pregnancy and when he did finally get on a plane he flew to Venice instead in order to arrange a boot sponsorship.

On the field, Greaves was at least scoring goals. A debut strike was followed by braces against Udinese and Sampdoria. And then came his finest moment in a Milan shirt – a wonderful goal to help win the derby against Inter. But the team as a whole was not functioning and Greaves’ relationship with disciplinarian coach Nereo Rocco was a particular problem. Greaves recalls: “He made my life hell and I didn’t exactly bring sunshine to his … Our training was subjected to the bullying of Rocco who constantly barked orders like some demented sergeant major.”

Indeed. Did couple of diamonds before, but not a proper 4-4-2.

Still the 3 league draft diamond is one of the best ones built. :drool:

On side note, that Joga/RT team was quite something for the first round. I remember they completely killed it with their drafting from the off.

I'll never come to terms with Serie A van der Sar going so far in that draft ;), but that diamond is fecking gorgeous.

Cheers, Pat. And yeah that has to be the most controversial pick I've ever made in drafts so far. :D

That draft was fecking nuts :lol:. I think our match against you was one of the most gruelling I've played - it wasn't bad-tempered or anything but we made each other work fecking hard.

@Oaencha

How on earth will you fit Totti, Del Piero and Zidane in the same team?
Click to expand...
They won't all be in the starting eleven. I have three formations worked out and will switch depending on my opponent. I picked Totti now because he's obviously class and didn't want to see him taken. My preferred goalkeeper and centre back can't/won't be picked so I'm leaving them until last.
 
Thinking about it... you could probably have Totti and Del Piero as a front two with Zidane behind them. It's not the best option though and would leave out RVN.

Why would I just copy yours? I've got no idea what kind of team you're putting together.

I chose the player I want to build my team around and then worked out which would be the best few years around the date to get other players in. There are a hell of a lot of players to choose from.

There are only a few years between Ecstatic and Enigma too.

Ecstatic and Enigma have one year overlap. Your thought process as stated is entirely reasonable it just seems unlikely that you chose precisely the same 6 years as me independently. As to why you may (I am not saying you did) do it, laziness or just to have fun chucking a spanner in the works. Whilst there are a lot of players there are particular types who are very thin on the ground.

I accept your explanation and hope the above sufficiently explains my reaction. This is the last I will say on the matter.

On with drafting!

Heyy, at least this exchange didn't go in vain :lol:

Sorry... I genuinely had no idea you would be after him. I picked him because he allows me to switch formation if needed. He's not just going to be sitting there twiddling his thumbs.

I'm sure you've done your research but would you like me to pm you my list of strikers? There are 12 you could pick and there are still some crackers on there.

There have been some crossovers. I picked this timeline because these were the players I grew up with. If I had moved the timeline one year either way I would have missed out on ones I wanted.

I know what you mean mate. Guess the one on one crossovers is the best part of this draft anyways. Have to plan your picks based on how only 1 or 2 others plan theirs. At least that was the case for me.

Interesting picks. Not what I thought you'd go with. Not sure how what style you're going for although I've narrowed it down to three general approaches but they're all probably wrong.

How on earth will you fit Totti, Del Piero and Zidane in the same team?

They won't all be in the starting eleven. I have three formations worked out and will switch depending on my opponent. I picked Totti now because he's obviously class and didn't want to see him taken. My preferred goalkeeper and centre back can't/won't be picked so I'm leaving them until last.

Thanks for that but I have good back ups. It's just only you and Bepo could pick him - he had Maradona and you have Zidane and Del Piero so I thought there was no way you'd pick him in your first 11 picks. I thought you picking Toldo was fun more likely so went for him instead

This timeline has some incredible players but no top-tier goalkeepers. I was pondering on whether to pick Toldo but there are six other goalkeepers on my list and three of them are pretty close to Toldo's standard. I decided there was so little in it that I would leave it to chance and focus on the rest of the team.

I'd be interested to see your three keepers. From my research Toldo was by far and away the best keeper available
