I remember an all time draft on here, could have been in the newbie section, I got Zico in the middle of the second round, part of me was hoping he would slip through again.
Oh well.
Oh well.
The Americas Draft
- Thread starter Chesterlestreet
- Start date
It was very close. Chumpitaz, Djalma and another defender were on my top 3 and finally chose Djalma.
Good pick though. And Pool 2!
I was becoming increasingly anxious throughout the day seeing you in conversation and in particular checking the Greatest Defensive Performances thread!

Was very hard to skip Ronaldinho, but had to resist the temptation.
No such discipline on my side, just splaff it all out there.
Hesh does not fit de philosophy
Wish you hadn't. We'd have taken Passarella without a second thought.
Caught in two minds about what to try and go for here . An Americas draft really isn't the best place to be playing a modern day 4-2-3-1 is it ?

There are quite a few players whose best roles would be somewhat similar to wide attackers in 4231 so I don't think that it's a wrong formation for this draft
Yeah, the pool offers diverse players so no specific tactical system is advised or required.
It would be boring if all the managers have the same tactical system.

I can assure you I'll have a different formation to most on here as always.
If anyone else has AMs (proper ones, I mean - not just people who post yer picks and whatnot), please update the picking order list with the relevant info.
Just for the sake of clarity, etc.
Also, remember that it's always a sound move to leave your next pick with others if you know you'll be offline for an extended period of time.

Edgar, Allan & Pillow
Oh them. Bunch of useless time wasters.
Can't say I'm surprised.
Our pick is
Surprised he's still rated after having lost the last match, which was clearly winnable. Such a loser! lolzy
And his infamous duel with Maldini (which draft was that?). Clearly a bottler of a highest calibre
Another reminder while I'm at it. The rules are very clear on no-shows: If a manager doesn't pick on time, move on. The next bloke has every right to pick ten seconds after the deadline has expired if he should feel like it. The no-show won't be punished in any way - he simply makes his pick whenever he does show up.
Waiting around for managers is positively discouraged, in other words - we've seen plenty of examples of this being detrimental (even though the intention is obviously gentlemanly).

Maldini, pfft. I bet Cashley Cole would take him down.
Last 2 hrs for @mazhar13 ?
If the rest (Mounchester / David) will not be online, they can send to others....

I'll be on and off all night as I'm at work till 6 so feel free to send them over. I'm last aswell so can take anyone's
I'll be online for the next 9 hours, just tag me when it's my turn (if I hadn't posted by then)
Don't hesitate to pick of Mazhar misses his , though it's 541 where he is and I imagine hel get it in on time
Time is short for me, so I will go for Didi.
I'm on mobile (and in a packed tram) so I cannot update the list. Can someone help me update the list?
Someone tag the next player for me. I don't know who is next after me.

@DavidG
im a bigger loser then Wenger in this drafts so i cant say nothing but thats a strange pick
Far too early for a keeper, but it shortens the list of pool 2 players needed I suppose.
Keepers have started to have a bigger influence in these drafts but going for one first is madness. First draft mistakes I suppose.
Good choice, but way too early. I bet you could have picked him in round 6 plus.
Get an AM mate.
Next draft one is ours. I'll recruit some young potentials.im a bigger loser then Wenger in this drafts so i cant say nothing but thats a strange pick
yeah, last draft i almost drafted Messi.
Am I allowed to change? Feels like cheating though
My logic to the pick is that there aren't really that many great GKs from the Americas (tbh I'm probably wrong about this as well
), so might as well get one in while everyone's picking flair/attacking players.Am I allowed to change? Feels like cheating though

In fairness GKs have been coming under the spotlight in drafts more lately and you've certainly got one of the best, and probably the most well-known. Historically picking a GK very early hasn't been the best tactic, but consider yourself a trailblazer and prove the doubters wrong
