The Double Draft

@harms i feel like you've followed me around on here ever since I changed my mind about you using kluivert and seedorf . Can't even post in the generals without having to deal with you quoting me .

Just let it go pal :)
:lol: Yeah, I noticed it myself, but you just happened to post some opinions that I do not agree with in the threads that I read, I'm not having a crusade against you.
 
May aswell spruce this up somehow whilst we wait .

I actually really enjoy harms posts and views ... But for the sake of it

 
Rijkaard - Schuster - Van Hanegem :drool::drool::drool:
Busquets - Matthäus - Netzer are absolutely awesome too

Cheers mate. My Verratti pick complicates things for us but he was really the only non-GK youth player I wanted, and he should help T-Bola proof our midfield. Schuster and Rijkaard can play several positions too which helps.
 
I don't think Charles was known for bombing forward when he played as a defender.

Anyway, I thought we had agreed not to do this thing.
 
:lol: I love Tyson. My favourite ever sporting excuse (even though he won in the first round IIRC :confused:):



I laugh every time I see this

" I broke my back "

" what do you mean by that "

" my back is broken "

Epic answer
 
If t'bola doesn't strike down 2 of these teams right at the heart , then I'm going pure fantasy formation as even at this stage , there's clear favourites who could draft skrtel and Joe Cole as their next two pics and still be in a winning position .
 
Depends on who they lose.

And who they buy. Four positions to fill (well, three important ones, anyway) for most teams. One sheep/youth to accomodate for most teams too.

Most managers will need to buy three outfield players. There aren't enough top, top players available in many positions to make everyone happy.

In short, having the best team on paper at this stage means nothing.
 
To be fair looking at my team either one that I'd lose is pretty bad considering the pool I can replace each one. I'd probably have to change the formation when T-bola strikes. Looking at other teams losing either one of my attackers or Figueroa would be disaster.

You have an impressive set-up.

I have the feeling your tactical system doesn't rely on one man.

All the managers would be sad to lose certain players in particular!
 
7 players to be picked before the storm.

Hope we will know our fate tonight.

I hope that I won't lose Luisito (wanted to have him for a long time now) and Messi (never would've picked him but having him makes me incredibly exited), the others I'm okay with.

Thanks mate, yours is excellent as well with a good core. I have flexibility in midfield that's for sure with Bozsik, Ze Roberto, Davids, Tigana all possible to move around and even swap within the current set up. Pele, Rivaldo, Bergomi and Figueroa would be a big hit tho, especially seeing others attack and defence.
 
Sorry for the delay guys. Got home from work and then been crazy busy. I'll pick Viera. Haven't really got time to sort out the list so can someone do it for me please.

highlighted the players i feel it would be funniest for people to lose :)

Would be interesting to see Luisito and ZZ in the same team.

Absolutely. You would benefit from a larger panel of options & choices.
 
You're not giving me good odds here @DavidG :lol:

cant wait to see how you plan to use Matthaus and Netzer as on the first glance i dont think they are a good fit as both played the same role at their peak.
 
Just noticed that @Tuppet has Romario, Stoichkov and Laudrup together. I wonder who he will pick as his second CB :)

He won't pick him with Passarella in the team obviously

Let's hope I get the chance. I've had a lot of good fortune so far with my DoF, can't help but feel T-bola will screw me over.

Vieira, Ince and Gentile in the same team?!? The opposition won't have any knee caps by the end of the game...

@Cal?
 
@Edgar Allan Pillow


- Is there a minimum starting bid for a court player born after 1st Jan 1945? $2m?
- Please could you confirm it is possible to have more than 14 players?
- What happens if someone has 13 players at the end?
- What is the difference between someone who has a budget overspending of 5m or 60m?
- 12 hours for all the players submitted by all the 16 managers?
- Is there a template to follow?

Tks in advance

@Joga Bonito
 
I assume the minimum opening bid is 10 mill (that's the standard, anyway).

AFAIK, it's already been confirmed there's no upper limit (max number of players).

If you bid past your budget, you'll lose one of your DoF players (whether it's one mill or fifty shouldn't make a difference).

Clock starts ticking as soon as the bid is launched, I presume (standard rules).

As for specific format/template, that hasn't been announced yet - but will be, as per EAP.

My thinking is that max number of active bids has to be kept at a manageable level - that sort of goes without saying, given how many players each manager needs.
