That was so smart I'm now hoping he get tevez'd 
The Double Draft
- Thread starter Edgar Allan Pillow
- Start date
Cal? did it before me, to be fair.
nah I mean filling both the keeper 20m quota and under 26 with one pick
Brilliant. Thought about it retrospectively, but it was too late. Hopefully I'll be more focused at the auction

@DavidG
Yes, he's a better pick in that sense - if I say so myself. But saving ten mill isn't all that important, what matters is the youth thing. The number of youth players you can get away with fielding without too many questions being asked - is very, very slender.
EDIT Alaba was the first one, of course - forgot about him.
you should've. Had high hopes of picking Chumpitaz as a CB pair with Figueroa
Getting Alaba in early was essential for me. No chance there are 16 players born after 1990 that won't resemble a sheep.
No chance at all. I began drawing up a list but stopped at ten or so - and half of those are problematic in one way or another. With most of them it's a question of where you can hide them away, so to speak - the moment you have to field them in anything resembling an important role, you have a big problem on your hands.
Yeah there is another I almost drafted but his style and position on the field would be a massive weakness matching up against some of the players that will appear in this draft.
@Chesterlestreet just woke up and was thinking that no one else would have picked de Gea . Need a little contemplation time now

@Šjor Bepo
I thot about that, but it's not that difficult to find a keeper.
I'm really surprised P-Nut went for Gentile. Baresi-Costacurta is simply beyond any argument.
That's true, of course - the keeper thing isn't a factor at all (what it basically means in DDG's case is that I save ten mill, which is neither here nor there).
However, what you could say is that given the general keeper situation (i.e. they don't matter much unless they're clearly out of their depth), DDG is the most durable youth pick available. I shouldn't have to replace him at any stage, really, unless he gets injured. So, what I get is a youth player nobody will question much in R1 (same for Neymar and Alaba), but I also sort out a position in the XI for good (unless he gets injured) - and the last part isn't true for either Neymar or Alaba. Nobody will buy either player as being anywhere near final worthy in an all-time draft.
He's a great pick , I was debating it with myself for a while last night . Even if he gets t'bolad he's probably the best case scenario
* Doesn't get bola'd = Edge gained.
* Gets bola'd = Edge lost, but nobody else gains said edge.
Plus: Gets bola'd = I keep all my outfield players.
Not exactly win-win, but decent enough odds.
For me, I honestly see T-bola as a positive at this stage. Most of us have GOAT's (or players who are close to GOAT's/great young picks), and if any of them get T-bola'd, then there really isn't that much of a disadvantage. I honestly want to get a player T-bola'd in my team in order to not get locked down to an awkward setup.
FFS De Gea(Neymar backup lol) was my next pick, well played Chester.
There are a lot of teams who could lose a defender that will ultimately end up costing them. The GOAT have pretty much all been taken , and with voters more likely going to focus on attacking potent , a weakened defence coming up against a GOAT attacker is only going to yield one victor .
Oh he was never making it to you
Just had a detailed look at this, looks like I'll run into my usual problem in drafts.
The midfielders are going to be fun. Hopefully balances some of the teams more as I see some already at a disadvantage compared to othersJust had a detailed look at this, looks like I'll run into my usual problem in drafts.
That's very true
Whose next pick.. haven't had one in ages.
I've a habit of concentrating on defense and attack and end up with weak midfields.
Will take a risk with Tibo as his stocks are pretty low right now but prior to last season he was absolutely brilliant.

@Invictus
@P-Nut0712 and @ctp aee my two favourites so far
ctp obviously has the best but i like chesters as well even though he got a little screwed with GOAT striker. Fantastic defence with underrated Thiago Motta in midfield and youth De Gea on goal.
Gentile is an upgrade on Costacurta. Baresi/Ronaldo combo and young Alaba P-Nut has done very well so far probably an early favorite especially given that he has only midfielder so far that he can very well match him with pretty much everybody in the midfield pool.
@P-Nut0712 right now has the best striker combination imaginable in modern times , any late 20s early 30s voter is going to be swayed by that . Every time I played the master league on pro evo those were the two I wanted .
Gentile is not an upgrade nor would that statement be true the other way around .
Hmm... personally I think Luiz Ronaldo is nowhere near Cristiano level.
A sentiment that won't be shared by too many who saw the best of Luis nazario. Injury free , for me he'd have ensured the Messi / Ronaldo argument for GOAT would never have taken place
And that lasted how long?
Played in the striker role he definitely is.
And as for the Gentile comments I wanted a certain type of defender to compliment Baresi and Gentile ticked all the boxes.
IMO he's more versatile across the defensive line - has played in LB/RB and also part of 3-5-2 with Scirea as a sweeper. He's the better man marker out of the two as well. Not saying Costacurta is not good or something I rate both of them high, but IMO Gentile offers a bit more flexibility in terms of formation.
Costacurta played all over the back line too aswell as being a competent sweeper .
Costacurta was a tactically versatile defender, who excelled anywhere along the backline, which allowed him to have a long and highly successful career, both at club level and with the national side, winning many trophies. Although he was primarily played as a centre-back alongside Baresi throughout his career, he also occasionally played as a sweeper, as a fullback, and even as a defensive midfielder.
