  2. Raees: 1. Ronaldinho 2. Hummels 3. Chiellini 4. De Jong 5. Gundogan 6. Isco 7. Carvajal
  3. Physiocrat: 1. Robben 2. Fabregas 3. J. Boateng 4. Wilshere 5. Alba 6. Nani 7. Rafael
  4. MJJ: 1. Kaká 2. Torres 3. Essien 4. Matic 5. Pique 6. Neuer 7. Baines
  5. Stobzilla: 1. Lahm 2. Alaba 3. Vidal 4. Rooney 5. Turan 6. Özil 7. Griezmann
  6. The Red Viper: 1. Iniesta 2. Terry 3. Neymar 4. Van Persie 5. Hargreaves 6. Marcelo 7. Cahill
  7. Isotope: 1. Suárez 2. Eto'o 3. Mascherano 4. Pepe 5. Koke 6. Chivu 7. Marchisio
  8. Theon: 1. Schweinsteiger 2. Ibrahimovic 3. Sánchez 4. Sneijder 5. De Gea 6. Koscielny 7. Khedira
  9. BorisDeLedFora: 1. Vidic 2. Kompany 3. De Rossi 4. Cavani 5. Rakitic 6. Hamsik 7. Arbeloa
  10. Snow: 1. Hazard 2. Modric 3. Busquets 4. Azpilicueta 5. Adriano 6. Thiago 7.Srna 8. Garay
  11. VivaJanuzaj: 1. Thiago Silva 2. Yaya Touré 3. Ivanovic 4. Pogba 5. Gotze 6. Alex Song 7. Clichy 8. Diego Costa
  12. NoPace: 1. Kroos 2. Reus 3. Ramos 4. Di María 5. Ledley King 6. Falcao 7. Casillas 8. Filipe Luis
  13. Barney: 1. Gerrard 2. Alonso 3. Martínez 4. Benatia 5. Zabaleta 6. Ricardo Rodriguez 7.Valencia 8. Benzema
  14. Skizzo: 1. Müller 2. Evra 3. Godín 4. D. Silva 5. Miranda 6. Sterling 7. Lewandowski 8. Matuidi
  15. crappycraperson: 1. Ribery 2. Agüero 3. Varane 4. Carrick 5. Vertonghen 6. Cech 7. Lavezzi 8. Coentrao
  16. NM: 1. Bale 2. Cole 3. Maicon 4. Cambiasso 5. James Rodriguez 6. Courtois 7. Subotic 8. Dante
 
After staring at the player picked list for about an half an hour, I think Skizzo has the best team, followed by NoPace(who might find it hard to finish up his team). Stobz is also massive.
 
Yo, so, I was going to see if he would last for a bit longer but I'm getting nervous, the talk of Aimar earlier had me worried. Injury prone as feck, but in a three year period near the beginning of his career he was a key player for Valencia and won two La Ligas and a UEFA Cup, his best season in La Liga saw him scoring 14 goals in the league from left wing. Probably among the best 6/7 wingers available. He also got 38 caps for Spain over a six year period and was part of their EURO 2004 squad, starting all three matches as Spain were shite, but that's not important. But for injuries he would have been part of the success they had four years later and beyond you would imagine.

I pick Vicente, bitches.

Huge pick at this stage. Totally missed him.
Good job.

Cracking pick, was absolutely electric back then. Real shame about the injuries. Hard to believe he's just 33.

Great pick. I looked at him very hard but decided he didn't fit the master plan.

Completely forgot about him until this morning otherwise I would have picked him sooner. I'm pleased with that front three, its pretty much exactly what I wanted to try and create once I picked Ibrahimovic.

I had him in my sights from the start but was torn between him and one more, was hoping everyone would have forgotten about him.

Vicente is a bit of a one season wonder isn't he.

Not necessarily, he consistently started for Valencia after forcing Kily Gonzalez out of the team once he got his chance, for a three year period between 01/02 and 03/04 before injuries took over, and they were the most successful team in Spain during that period, with him being a very important player. Without a doubt he really stepped it up in terms of being a world class player (or close to it, however you define it) when they won the La Liga/UEFA Cup double in 2004, but in the couple of years previous to that he was clearly a very good player.
 
How are you guys feeling about Diego Costa? I personally think he's a lot more prolific than some of the other strikers being picked, at his prime(which is the last 1.5 years) he's been unstoppable.
2013-14 Atletico Madrid - 35 league appearances, 27 goals.
2014-15 Chelsea - 19 league appearances, 17 goals.
That's 44 goals in 54 league matches.

So why did he last this late? Is it because he plays for Chelsea? or is it the Brazilian nationality?

Disgusting personality, bad international record, relatively new name (ongoing peak), a rich strikers pool. Good pick overall.

He's good. I didn't pick him because Adriano is a better pick. Simple as that. Striker isn't a huge issue in this draft as evident by the 8th round Benzema and Costa picks.

Thanks :) this has been a tricky draft in terms of trying to decide when to prioritize what position. Still got to pad the last few out yet.
