The 4th Sheep Draft | Final | onenil vs Downcast

With players at peak, who wins?


  • Total voters
    35
  • Poll closed .
I don't see Messi having much impact with the greatest LB of All-Times IMO

If we are taking players at their absolute peak then this is a ludicrous statement even if you are just trying to win
 
Romantic onenil against pragmatic downcast. Make your choice.
 
1. Back 6 mate. Rijkaard+Camacho. You ignore defending is a collective work.

You stated Camacho and Maldini are man marking.

3. Fully disagree there. Maradona/Messi/Ronaldo/Rivaldo . Each of these players reached their prime in a tactical system that....differs from your.

Same applies to your entire front four as well.
 
You're right. My players have done nothing in their career.

Maldinis peak left back years came at a time when right wingers were right footed. Messi offers a different dimension than anything maldini ever faced ( "of course that goes both ways) but you're just lying to yourself if you don't think messi would at least be somewhat influential in this game.

I think Maldini being right-footed works in his favour against the inside-cutting Messi.

If you think Maldini is a poor choice, I think it's useless to discuss.
 

No I changed mine to Downcast.

Should have done so earlier but checked and the score was 19-14 and thought it would be irrelevant, would have been unfair on Downcast if I hadn't changed it now on the account on the match being a tie.

EDIT: Would still have been irrelevant anyway, given the final scoreline

I know. I thought that it was a last-second decision until you mentioned your reasoning below.

Anyways, I guess that's over, then. I don't know if anyone else can come in and bring the match back for OneNil.
 
Congrats @Downcast on winning this draft. You did a very good job in building such a strong side, and I'm happy to see Captain Marvel win a draft in this fashion just as he should!

@oneniltothearsenal That was a really close match, and I really thought that you were the favourite to win the whole thing. Your side was very well-built, and I really liked the theme you were going with in the first couple of rounds.

Haha I DONT think it's a poor choice. I actually personally rate maldini as the best defender in history. I just think Messi gets success against anyone.

Indeed, and more than anything it's great to see Platini win an all-time draft as the #10 (although the side wasn't strictly designed for him, which is understandable given the context and the individuals on both sides).

Congrats @Downcast

Commiserations @oneniltothearsenal . Excellent effort as usual.
 
And they are supported by Rivaldo who, along with Maradona and Messi, arguably boasts the three greatest left pegs of all time.
Probably have Puskas in there. Robben as well.
Eder! :drool:

Congrats @Downcast Brilliant team, more so when Capt Marvel is the difference maker in a finals!

Hard luck @oneniltothearsenal Past two drafts, I've been really impressed with your drafting. Brilliant team and I after your earlier 2 games, I really thought this would be a cakewalk for you.

Thanks mate, this draft was too packed for GOATS for me to ever get confident though I was happy to get Didi that round with you :D

Also great job by @The Stain @antohan very fun draft!
 
Was just idle curiousity on my part about the vote changing. It seemed to turn from 17-17 to 19-16 pretty quickly at the end too. Nerve-racking stuff for the managers!

Congrats @Downcast and unlucky @oneniltothearsenal .

The poll just closed ;)

Well done and congratulations @Downcast

Thanks mate :) Commiseration.

A game thread is circus and I'm just a clown, but a kind clown who has always voted for you team until now.

Thanks but I still don't know if Camacho deserves to be MOTM.

After all, we have spent a lot of time to discuss his numerous qualities!

Thanks. Yeah, onenil was clearly the super favorite but like Brazil 1982, he lost the final. Kuddos for keeping his romantism :D

I understand now :)

Thanks but I'm not sure if jayvin won a draft with Platini.

Félicitations, @Downcast !

Merci beaucoup!
 
@The Stain @antohan

Thanks for running the draft. A refreshing draft.

More cards would be so great but so time-consuming for the draft runners.
 
Congratulations Downcast. An overdue win for you in one of these, having twice had the strongest outfit early on in previous drafts. Unlucky for onenil who was well ahead of the pack IMO after the drafting process.
 
Thanks to the contributors and voters.
