The Modern / Current Players Draft

Theon picks DE gea. tag whoever is next please
 
This is probably the most even draft I've ever followed. No team seems to be having an advantage at this stage and it will all come down to having a good match up and a great tactical approach. All teams looks more or less as good right now.

@VivaJanuzaj going to Bayern seems to have stagnated him, at least in the caf's mind. The lad is brilliant!
 
I was convinced everyone would forget Adriano. :(

I considered him but my draft memories are of someome(can't remember the name exactly, started with p, loves thiago) spending a lot of time convincing everyone he was really good at his peak and the caf laughing it off.

I miss Pippa :(. I so would have loved to read his comment on the Brazil - Germany semifinal.
 
:lol: @Skizzo was right, you are evil.
Well, he did argue that Schweini and Lahm needed the World Cup to prove that their greats and he did say he doesn't rate Müller. Shouldn't have done that.
 
I was seriously considering taking Pique as a sweeper if he was still available after the hammering Kompany seems to be getting, I suppose I could still stick De Rossi in the middle of a back 5. :nervous:

Wouldn't worry too much about that. I reckon the only reasonable conclusion, based on recent performances across the board, is simply that the present-day centre half - like modern life itself - is rubbish.

People can't logically argue against Kompany unless they sport something better themselves - and they probably won't be.
 
Is he not retired?

"All players born on or after 01-Jan-1980 are available for picking with the exception of Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi (who are blocked for this draft)"

King was born in 1980, so he's okay. It's not an active players draft, just a post-1980 one.

Ahh, okay. I just assumed from the title that it was.
 
I thought so as well, but nobody seemed to mind Hargreaves getting picked either.
