The Modern / Current Players Draft

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

footballuser is down and I'm not able to see the formation pics MJJ sent. Have to wait for some time till I can set up the thread and PM a mod for the poll.

Will check after 15 mins.

 

[Physiocrat]

Ronaldinho got you into the second round.

Do you reckon I'd have got any more votes if I'd subbed of Rafael for Sturridge, put Berba at CB and Boateng right-back?

Just thought I could have changed it that way

Would have gotten my vote for sure.

Bouncing a few ideas around. Waiting to hear back from @Joga Bonito to decide. He's usually around so shouldn't be long hopefully

 

[crappycraperson]

You got an embarrassment of riches in the position you need.

 

[Skizzo]

You got an embarrassment of riches in the position you need.

I just KNOW you can't be suggesting I replace Diarra after how well he was received in the last match

@crappycraperson don't you need to send one player packing?
@Skizzo I think the whole idea of the scout instead of AM is no delays..

Vidic

@Skizzo

crappy, note the rules. You need to drop a player, if you want to pick one. Make sure you comply with the Playing 11 rules.

 

[Joga Bonito]

You got an embarrassment of riches in the position you need.

Which is exactly the problem here . So many options and potential changes to the entire playing style.

 

[Skizzo]

@crappycraperson don't you need to send one player packing?
@Skizzo I think the whole idea of the scout instead of AM is no delays..

We aren't taking hours. He's here now.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

We aren't taking hours. He's here now.

pick one. drop one. remember

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

We aren't taking hours. He's here now.

Oh thought you were waiting for him

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

I'll leave my pick with EAP since I'll be here on and off for the next couple of hours

[crappycraperson]

I am surprised at that pick. Was sure you would take someone else.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

I am surprised at that pick. Was sure you would take someone else.

If Lahm or Nedved is available, then you can be sure Viva is queuing up for them

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

I am surprised at that pick. Was sure you would take someone else.

Gives me multiple options, and I can't give up on him

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

If Lahm or Nedved is available, then you can be sure Viva is queuing up for then

And Crespo

 

[Isotope]

Wait to see @Theon pick the one i want.

 

[Theon]

Tough to turn down Xavi

Swap for Coleman

 

[Isotope]

feck off !! I know he'll be an upgrade to Robinho

 

[VivaJanuzaj]

Superb front three Theon, will take a very strong defense to hold it off

 

[Annahnomoss]

Theon takes pole position.

 

[Isotope]

Although he'd look better in red shirt.
Sub out: Rojo.

@The Red Viper
