I pick

Carzola - Never won a league
Angel Di Maria - World Cup loser.

Tyrant boss you have who don't set out draft-breaks every couple of hours.

It wouldn't be particularly useful unless you can see mod-deleted posts. Basically Brwned picked Yaya to anchor a midfield with Charlton and Duncan Edwards. He got terrible feedback and 2-3 picks later the roster miraculously had Carrick in it. He actually went back and changed his pick post and deleted all the follow-up posts on Yaya.

Of course, with me around it was all rightly blown out of all proportion :wenger: I made a big deal of it, not really for the change per se but the Stalinist use of mod powers (you have to remember I grew up in a dictatorship, but my taking issue with censorship was apparently hilarious and prompted further censoring :lol: ).

In fairness to Brwned, I don't think he meant to cheat per se and it's not like anyone after him had any interest in Yaya or Carrick tbh. I didn't even know he had mod powers then, I assume he had got them very recently and hadn't yet quite sussed that with great power comes great responsibility.
 
Don't hold back Anto, let it all out. You want Brwned out of the mod game. Take a brave stance once and for all!

so me picking him had no negative effect on your team like paceme and his bid. understood.

Come on @MJJ, it's a cracking side and by no means anything you can't come back from. I actually thought Popescu was the wrong pick full stop TBH, whether he qualified or not.
 
Any new interest in Weah? Going out for a hour or two... hopefully near my turn when I come back.

Nah, it was the sort of one-off insanity that we've all indulged in at some point during a draft. It's actually a real shame he hasn't been involved in a draft since :(

Yeah, I made two picks in a row who didn't fit the criteria I thought they did. Still feel like my chances weren't completely ruined by it, even though it feels harsh just after it happens.

Maybe he's got some sort of syndrome where he can't figure out shapes when he sees them. Knows a lot about tactics but these games demand that you post your first 11 formation graphically and that's where he fails. It's a very specific syndrome that probably exists.

Or maybe he's just busy...

Doesn't he play in the newbie section at times?

Cheers mate I am happy with how it looks so far but you never know how it finishes in this draft, but I was lucky to get Ronaldo. It is always a joy to build a team around a star who can play in any formation and tactics and do well. He also filled three possible criterias as well having played in three countries, ballon winner and he played for the Galacticos who has stars like Figo/Zidane/Beckham who won titles elsewhere and not with Real from 03-07.

So we need someone to take over from MJJ? It's going to be impossile to find someone to come into this draft, so it'll either have to be @manikandan nair or another AM potentially in this draft...

As already informed him,I wouldn't have enough time to concentrate on this after 27th.
So if someone interested,let them take MJJ 's team.
