I find it amazing that, despite it being such an open criteria, 10 people still managed to name similar ones :lol:
 
Gio has got his hands on a stunning player there.

Looking back, Gio hasn't given any hints as to who he's getting - so how the hell have you guessed that? :lol:

Literally the complete opposite of a bald head :lol:

OH. In that case, I have a feeling I know! If that's who I'm thinking, well played :drool:

I'm sure someone went for HIM though after escaping the last round.
 
I thought you were on about a German! So I assumed Matthaus.

Shit the bed. Did not expect to fail on that.

Well, no, I was going on about another German but because he was my backup/second round pick so wanted to try keep him safe.

Just know him well enough. I knew he was going to push on with Davids, I was positive he would try van Basten, and that he was thinking Mendieta as the third attempt last time, even told him he should be fine as I was out. Never considered Cutch would have picked him in the first round, obviously.

It's piss easy to play this with him.
 
TBH, I'm glad they are all gone. Result! So you got your non-cnutish Matthaus I guess?
Everyone is non-cnutish in comparison to Matthäus, wouldn't call my player non-cnutish in general though :lol:. Effenberg becomes an even stronger pick with all the brilliant midfielders blocked though, that's why I'm really happy.

No idea why but no one seemed to rate him much when I last had him. Shocking really. Matthaus' absence will help, absolutely.

I switched to him after the Bayern 98 - 02 is shockingly underrated post/discussion in the 'great teams that never were thread'. Quite a few of the players of that side were overlooked in some of the previous drafts, imo, so I thought it's time to change that :). I'm not sure if making my plans public is good or bad for me though :nervous:. And it's not only Matthäus, Rijkaard and Keane are blocked as well.

I spent about three threads tearing into him in one of our games. A bit harsh in retrospect, but needs must.

I understand why you don't like him because of his attitude but I don't think there is any CM in this draft better than him. A couple of them like Rijkaard would be on par.

He's a tedious pick in a draft, though, I'll give you that. Or maybe not, given he won Annah the last one...

It's not only that I dislike him, my team is just so much better with him banned :lol:. I agree, he's the standout CM/DM, arguably sweeper as well in this draft.

Yeah, he is fine. You will find I rate a fair few of them in coming rounds though ;)

You took my second attempt pick, didn't you? Bastard!
