The Americas Draft

Jeez dude, Are you telepathic?

I PM'd about wanting Simeone and you picked him literally minutes later. Now Cambiasso, seconds later. I need to wear a metal helmet to shield my thoughts.

Me and skizzo go a long way since newbie section and i played number of drafts with physio so.....#teamskizzopat
 
There is definitely no clear favourite in this draft , which I like a lot . Tactical set up going to be the most important thing , the way it should be

:cool:
 
Yes, tactics (more than pure player comparisons) should play a bigger role here than it often does (since the teams will presumably be fairly evenly matched in terms of individual quality and/or star quality).

Personally, I hope people will be drafting potential starters up till the end, making it all the more unpredictable precisely which XIs we get to see.
 
My planned next two picks were already picked this round :(:lol:

Anyone wanna rec me some decent players? I am stumped tbh.

I can't really suggest any as the players I want are the only players on my mind. What positions are you looking at?
 
I'm all for strange tactics but that's pushing it

Now thats a tactical curveball.
Anyone remember when Pearce's city put 2 goalkeepers on the field, with one playing as striker, fun times.

Psycho brainwave takes City to the brink said:
It was, to put it mildly, the most eccentric of finales. There were still two minutes of normal time remaining, plus five for stoppages, when Stuart Pearce, adopting a form of leadership that would have been wacky even by Brian Clough's standards, had the brainwave of replacing a midfielder, Claudio Reyna, with his reserve goalkeeper, Nicky Weaver, and ordering David James to play as a centre-forward.

It scarcely seemed to matter that Pearce actually had a £5m striker, Jon Macken, sitting on the bench with a look of horror on his face. As Weaver went into goal, James tore off his gloves, put on an outfield shirt (1 Weaver) and lumbered into attack. Surreal? That would be an understatement.

"I sat at home on Saturday night and thought to myself: 'What shall I do if we're drawing the game late on and need to hit it long?'" explained Pearce. "I've got a good striker in Jon Macken, who is really disappointed, but I wanted to unsettle them and in some ways it did. It unsettled everyone . . . them and us."

Amazingly the disorder almost paid off. With James charging around like a headless ostrich, his cameo role incorporating a hilarious air-shot and at least two horrendously late but probably well-meant chops at Doriva's legs, the hitherto wretched referee Rob Styles decreed that Joey Barton's centre had flicked off Franck Queudrue's hand for a penalty.

I fully remember that imagine being Macken sat on the bench as James strolls up front though.
 
5 hours gone already they will have to make a decision soon. If you are before Jayvin send your pick to him so we can get a bit of a move on.
 
Gonna be around for at least six more hours, anyone want to leave their picks, feel free :)
 
Everyone's around apart from those that need to be.

Someone update the list for me. I'm currently packing stuff to move out of my current place and into a new place.

Had looked at Orsi and Pepe before deciding on Loustau, granted in the end I wouldn't have had a choice in the matter.

Loustau by all accounts was a complete winger, good pace, great dribbling, good crosser, good scoring record, but most importantly for the formation I currently am looking at, he covered a huge amount of ground, to the point where he was known as a ‘ventilador-wing’–‘fan-wing’, because he was a winger who gave air to the midfield by doing some of their running for them.
