It's brilliant because you used it to laugh at a suggestion and all I could see was what everyone sees: a madman.
The All-time Auction Draft

It's brilliant because you used it to laugh at a suggestion and all I could see was what everyone sees: a madman.
I already have Makelele, most people don't seem to rate him that highly in the first round.
When drunk, I get more 'creative'. And I prefer the term 'maniacal'!
Weird, would prefer him as a dm instead of Schweign. Him, behind xavi and iniesta is as good a midfield as any.
Nah, doesn't suit them at all. I rate Makelele very highly as someone who can single-handedly hold a fort in an uber-attacking team, but not as part of the midfield unit in a possession side (and if it isn't a possession side then the problem is the other two being comparatively lightweight).
In an all-time draft you can sure find someone who can combine both better than Schweini or Makelele, but out of the two I'd favour the pigmounter as how you work in possession is more important than how you recover it.
Yup. Makelele would look very odd in that setup. Not sure how much Schweinsteiger can be upgraded in that tactic either for that matter.
Not easy really. You would want a Busquets who can defend like Makelele.
Not many I can think of, and one reason I always appreciate Deschamps more than most. He had a great balance between great passing range, tidy and patient build up, and defensive nous.
Anyone else still want to bid?

Yeah, we're still going to bid on someone mate.
Waiting for everyone else to commit their bids, cheeky
Of cos, waiting on my nice competitors to show their hand first...
Yeah. I still don't know how you are going to fit everyoneYeah...that's it.
Or still trying to figure out what we actually want to do
5 years later, still waitingOf cos, waiting on my nice competitors to show their hand first...
I'm just waiting for Theon to show his hand, the rest of us basically have the same budget left...5 years later, still waiting

This is by far the weirdest reinforcement round ever.
I've a few ideas on replacing Robben, just waiting for the opportune moment...
I dont see why he cant play possession football, his first touch/technique,etc isnt that bad and all he needs to do is pass the ball to either xavi or iniesta. He is more than capable of doing that while being very strong defensively.
@Annahnomoss
you should do something about all of them, each and every one of them is going against the draft spirit. I'd suggest, if no one has bid on Pele in the next 5 hours, he'll be removed from the playerpool. And from that moment on, you remove another superstar every hour. Go, go, go !!!
Ok I'll bite...

Theon can have Pele
Not me
I agree. Obviously sounds rich when I'm contributing to the impasse, but if stalemate is reached then it's just about setting a final deadline for nominations IMO.
I've no idea at all what you're doing in this reinforcement round, so you definitely count as weird. You weren't stalling though, fair enough

We might be weird but we weren't intentionally stalling, just holding a last minute summit meeting
. We weren't even in the running for the two big name Brazilian forwards!GK

The vultures have arrived.
At 24:00 UK time I will remove 10 hand-picked players. Superstars or the ones I think you guys need in your teams. Unless they've been nominated by then of course.

Sounds great
In fairness we've been in the same boat. Theon's online for about 20 seconds a day and I've barely been able to get on since we got our first bid in for Matthaus. I think this will be wrapped up fairly soon regardless.We might be weird but we weren't intentionally stalling, just holding a last minute summit meeting

Theon/Gio are walking way with this draft!
Not sure what they'll do with Dinho, Best, Romario, Ronaldo, Pele and Zico though. I suppose they could go for the old 2-2-6 formation used in a England Scotland game in the 19th century. The best thing about that game was that it ended 0-0
i liked Zico - Romario partnership more then i like Pele - Ronaldo, specially with Dinho in the side.
Way ahead of you mate.Not sure what they'll do with Dinho, Best, Romario, Ronaldo, Pele and Zico though. I suppose they could go for the old 2-2-6 formation used in a England Scotland game in the 19th century. The best thing about that game was that it ended 0-0
Needs more Brazilian.
