The Americas Draft

[Gio]

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.

He's a very credible pick - I had him in the top half-dozen or so left-wingers / left-sided attackers.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

I love Pavoni's tache. It epitomises the way he played: uncompromising and uninhibited.

Indeed. Benetti's tache has a similar effect in that it leaves no doubt whatsoever that you're looking at unyielding, icy malevolence:

 

[Chesterlestreet]

Benetti always reminds me of a certain actor whose name I can't remember: A B-movie bad guy specialist. Very often sports a tache too.

Magnum?

Edit: not really a bad guy lol

 

[Chesterlestreet]

Yeah, him too, I suppose.

But then again every guy with a proper tache sort of looks like Magnum.

[Mciahel Goodman]

Am on phone but my pick is Crespo.

It couldn't be the similarly malevolent Lee van Cleef could it?

 

[Chesterlestreet]

It couldn't be the similarly malevolent Lee van Cleef could it?

The paragon of mustachioed malevolence...

No - the guy I have in mind is not on Lee's level (he's younger and usually played minor roles). He looks like a shabbier version of Lee - sort of.

Oh @Jayvin was online all the morning but has left the place 45 minutes ago

Australia 10:30 pm there

 

[P-Nut]

He should always send his picks to someone as he's on a completely different timezone

 

[BorisDeLeFora]

@Chesterlestreet might have it?

Jayvin took mine so he was probably in the frame of mind to pass his own on as well.

Already done Jayvin. Probably best off deleting that one, save the confusion

 

[Moby]

Well done on securing Cueto and Velazquez.

 

[Ecstatic]

@Jayvin well done

 

[Šjor Bepo]

striker pool is insanely huge... El Diego and Crespo going in round 7 and there are still few brilliant players yet to be picked!

Ah, thanks

 

[Moby]

The 2 best central defenders from Chili

Is that a way of calling them hot?
I know you spelled it in French.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Really?!

if you replicate the actions of your third round pick i will give you few names

 

[Physiocrat]

Not a Valderrama fan?

I have a few names for strikers but they're not as good as I'd like. Didn't think Goodman would go two up front.

 

[Deleted member 101472]

@Mciahel Goodman no pool2 picks yet , you have remembered the rule right ?

 

[Marty1968]

Really?!

Yeah probably another 6 or 7 really good strikers to be picked.

 

[Mciahel Goodman]

Ah feck me, no I didn't read the rules. Have you never played WW with me?

@Mciahel Goodman

@Mciahel Goodman no pool2 picks yet , you have remembered the rule right ?

Which one of those 8 players is going to be his sub???

Technical difficulties, I shall be back. Sorry for naming a player.

big fan, not sure there is someone out there that doesnt like him...if there is i feel sorry for him.
I was thinking of this:

[Stobzilla]

There is a tasty Columbian Midfielder just begging to be picked. I thought @Gio might grab him, he might yet ...

 

[Gio]

Wrong draft - that's Craig Burley in the Scottish Journeymen and Infuriating Commentator Draft.

 

[Gio]

Ah feck me, no I didn't read the rules. Have you never played WW with me?

I thought you were developing some cunning strategy to go balls deep in all the Brazilian big boys then snap up under-the-radar support acts from the rest of South America.

 

[Physiocrat]

I was thinking of this:

Newsflash - Goodman goes for three strikers up front. Just like Bryan Robson trying to keep WBA up years ago.

What do we do about MG deleting his last player pick ?
