No, thats fair enough. I just think Rauls so multifaceted that he can adapt to any strike partner, whether it means him playing at 9 or at 10. Has played with similar strikers to Weah through his career.
The Criteria Draft - The Drafts

Who are you thinking off?
Raul has always been best as second striker, more of a technical player than someone to lead the line. Ideally IMO you would partner him with a proper goalscoring number 9 in a 4-4-2.
I'll tell you at the end as theres a chance i might pick one of them.
Agree that EDogen looks superb. My favourite so far.
I can't be assed to get in a argument over Benatia but there is no chance he is the worst centre back picked in the draft so it was a bit strange Viva came at me like that.
Carvalho was ridiculously under rated at Chelsea because of the nationality of his partner, fantastic player.
In other news, Makaay completes my 8&9 with van Bronkhorst, both played two trophyless seasons with Feyenoord in 08/09 and 09/10.
Emerson takes Go's place as a losing world cup finalist, he was inn Brazil' 98 squad, got injured before 02.

Anyone interested in the Kohler-Lehmann combo? Might consider doing a deal for them
Agree. I was giving serious thought to Carvalho to resume his partnership with Pepe, but the criteria was not kind to it.
Carvalho was fantastic and definitely better than Terry.
He's just underrated generally, even outside of his Chelsea stint. Awesome defender.

Didn't mean to offense mate or to come at you.
just out of curiosity, who is a worse CB that was picked. And explain why of course.
Or wait for the matchday thread.. I guess.
If we'll end up against each other it will be hilarious
Why on earth would you do that?
Kohler is easily in the top 5 centre backs, and Lehmann is a quality keeper, unless you've found someone other combination to make your team work?
Yep, theres a chance i could be stronger allround without them due to some of the other criteria's i havn't met yet. Just putting it out there just to see whats available
Who's turn is it?
This site is garbage on phones.
I don't want to name him but if you look through the centre backs there is at least 1 who is most defiantly worse. I don't mind you discussing the pick and you can say whatever you want it's your opinion. Yes it would be funny if i got you now, but then again whoever had Higuain is probably also thinking the same about drawing you.Didn't mean to offense mate or to come at you.

@NoPace
@NoPace . Because there is literally no pace.
Is anyone else finding it near impossible to find anyone draft worthy that has never played in CL/Europa etc. Its been wrecking my head since the beginning
We agreed that dudes born in 1985 with under 30 caps fits that criterion, yeah? If so:
Juanfran - Atletico Madrid and Spain
Juanfran - Atletico Madrid and Spain
Had that category down for the sub since the start.
@Cutch
I pick again in 8 picks. If Cutch or anyone else picking in the next couple is interested, I'll do:
My 11th pick + 12th for your 11th + 12th. Basically I move up a couple picks now, you do so next round.

Popescu is still up for trade.
Current young players at mid-table teams, a few South Americans from the 90's who never came over and a few young South Americans who will cross the continent soon, basically. One or two Asians or Africans worth a pick as well.
No interest in that mate

I pick the record holder of scored free-kicks in the Serie A, one of the finest left feet ever, Sinisa Mihajlovic. Born in Croatia and played football for Serbia and Montenegro, previously named FRY.
His crossing, passing range, free-kicks and corners were incredibly similar to Beckham and has played every role in midfield and in the defense even if he is best centrally as a CB or CM.

I wanted him, thought he would qualify for the non Fifa top 30 category.
Thanks to that rule and the surrounding confusion I didn't pick him. Awesome.
