go ahead i might aswell because if Theon comes on now then it will pick up very quik i should imagine.
The Criteria Draft - The Drafts
- Thread starter RoadTrip
- Start date
@rpitroda i have pm'd you mate.
Cheers!
I will listen to bids for Ronaldo by the way. Unless you want to trade Messi I won't be interested in a 1 for 1 trade. Rather possibly something like a 2nd and third pick, or a 2nd and 4th or whatever.

Just in the interest of always keeping the status updated.
Who's made big and/or brilliant moves so far?
Redondo stands out, I think. Senna has been hailed, but it pales compared to Vieira for that category (if we assume that's what Boris intends to use him for).

Difficult to say as I don't know exactly which criterias people has filled in and some are harder to fill than the others. I'd say that VivaJanuzaj has three players and they could all start a final in a "born past 1965" draft even if the criterias didn't exist and there were two reinforcements per round.
There's plenty of players who have that though. Henry, Cafu and Ronaldinho for example.
Aye - no doubt. But it means little at this stage. The glaring weaknesses will determine this thing - or it should, at least. This is close to a sheep draft, after all.
Seedorf > Senna too. But given his midfielders, and the lack of quality there, it was a very good pick.
Feck, yes - Seedorf.
Suppression or whatever the psychologists call it. I wanted him for that category - he was perfect.
Damn came back home, saw we are up and all our planned picks seem to have gone. 
Decent pick and pretty good player for a period but Not sure i'm getting all the love for Senna either tbh.

Finally got the primary 11 categories ready. If only I could find one for the No Europe criteria...
Just don't feckin pick my wannabe team!

Gogogo go!
Apart from Nedved I ain't got anyone I wanted so don't get your hopes up =P.
I was gutted when Robben went i was hoping he would of lasted as he is one of the best in a certain criteria.
Certainly.
I looked hard at Chilavert too!
Redondo had under 30 caps? I'd have taken him first round if I knew that, honestly.
Theon seems to have gone out for a few minutes, so might take a little while.
The AM is supposed to speed things up, dual research and all that. But time and again, it just delays things more!
Double true!
i had no idea he had played in the Spanish league, thought he spent all his career in South America.
Yep. One below.
I've cancelled my plans. No, not just because I'm waiting for my pick. If you thought that. And I'm sure you did. So feck you.
But the important message here is this: get a fecking move on, will ya?

This. Managers shouldn't have a problem picking in the absence of their AMs.
All I can say is feck all you bastards who decided to be born pre 1965.
I think I found a decent candidate to not have played in Europe. More investigation required...
And just realized, what a massive idiot I am :-(
There are going to some average players picked for that criteria.
No. Not that. I think my pick still holds good. Tried a search in UEFA.com and got only random news articles, nothing else. So thinking he would do.
It's on my first two picks. I was so intent on getting 8 & 9 out of the way, that I forgot the whole strategy. Should have picked Carlos and Cafu on seperate criterias and filled with Beckham in later stages. Feel like banging my head now.

Ain't nobody signing nobody while @FromTheBench ain't getting his ass moving!
OK. I'm an idiot on the non Europe too.
Ah, back from getting some fresh air. Delightful.

No fecking movement, though.
By my clock those boys have...an hour and a half, roughly, in ten minutes. So, an hour and forty, then. Nopace posted at four PM, GMT.

No, he didn't - five PM.
So, two hours before the deadline in...seven minutes.
No...thirtyseven minutes.
I need more air.
Five. So they need to pick by one. 1AM, in....an hour and thirty. Finally worked it out. Should be a bonus.

It would be fun to pick before I go to sleep
My turn will be tomorrow probably. Will wake up and start yelling obsceneties at those who picked from my list.
Glorious start to any day!
