The Modern / Current Players Draft

[Annahnomoss]

Well when Zlatan was injured earlier this year, Cavani wasn't too good "in position"

That is the summary yes. Cavani and Zlatan play in the same position but they don't play the same role because of that. If PSG was set up to play in to the strengths of using Cavanis endless stamina from up front to press relentlessly all game long, Zlatan would be absolutely shit at duplicating that role.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Alf fecking sherwood wasnt even a left back, won me the draft though. With a little help from my 12th man @Edgar Allan Pillow

@Pat_Mustard .. he is online

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

He's been online for about half an hour now. Every time I've checked, he's been viewing this thread.

Some intense researching/chin-scratching going on at Mustard Towers.

Yep.

 

[Barney]

Guys, if you won't be around PM picks. Will be here for four hours probably, so I can take any of them.

 

[Snow]

Don't know what will happen to me. I'm working outside of Reykjavík and the roads back to town are closed because of weather. On my phone as it is. I think I'll make it home sometime after midnight.

 

[The Red Viper]

Finally Tevez goes. I was really tempted to pick him and have him on the right in a free role.

@Physiocrat

 

[Snow]

Good pick. Not many full backs left. He's decent on both ends. A bit like someone else.

 

[Raees]

He was my first choice from the beginning, surprised he lasted long.. pacey, great going forwards and solid at the back.. champions league winner.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

Finally Tevez goes. I was really tempted to pick him and have him on the right in a free role.

I'm amazed he lasted until the 7th round. Ideally I wanted to finish off my defence with those two picks but Tevez was just too good to pass up on.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

^ Carvajal is a very good pick at this stage.

 

[Barney]

surprised he lasted long

I'm not. Shite nationality and I don't really see any worse full backs than him that have been taken. Good player, mind.

 

[Raees]

That is true.

 

[BorisDeLeFora]

Bastard, wanted Carvajal.

Anyone else in a situation where they have a player that is obviously a quality footballer, but there is a good chance he might sneak through until later rounds, so it could be worth a gamble to leave him late?

Tried to do that with Nani.

Didn't think, sorry. Thankfully it was an obvious player for those who saw. It's been fixed.

You always like to think that but chances are that someone else will pick that player if he's going to pick that position.

 

[harms]

Yeah, only one manager doesn't seem to notice him and he isn't participating in this draft

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Astonishing* that he hasn't been picked.

*Maybe not, but still. Thought he would have been picked by now.

 

[Annahnomoss]

You always like to think that but chances are that someone else will pick that player if he's going to pick that position.

It is a classic heart breaker. No matter how hard you try to convince yourself that you won't get him.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

Yeah, there's a few that I'm hoping will last until my next picks, but I'm not optimistic. It took me ages deciding who to prioritise before my last picks.

 

[harms]

Vertonghen continues what Hummels, Chiellini and Kompany started earlier

 

[Snow]

Vertonghen continues what Hummels, Chiellini and Kompany started earlier

Thankfully I waited on these CBs that can only disappoint in this draft

 

[Skizzo]

I think I'm going the opposite route to everyone else. Quite chuffed with my defence so far...but my midfield is so far non-existent

He does but he's banned. He'll be back soon enough to post and he apologises for being an idiot with a mouth like a sailor.

 

[Joga Bonito]

Could he pass on the pick to you if possible (assuming that he can PM you or something when he's banned)? MJJ probably won't be back for some time and I'm assuming Stob's temp ban would be at least for a day or so. It would be even better if he could pass his own pick on to you as well, so that you could pass it on to someone else here.

Cheers.

 

[Skizzo]

i can only help but feel I should post his Matrix laughing video here...

If he passes whatever picks on to me, what would I need to do. He's currently playing GTA with me and I can hear him on mic.

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

@MJJ has picked Leighton Baines.

 

[Balu]

 

[Hernandez - BFA]

Please pick baines for me next, if am not here.

I think baines is a better offensive fullback than BLA BLA BLA BLA BLA...... but like you I have watched more of baines so sticking with him i suppose.
