The Reality Draft: Main Thread (Finals)

I had to debate so much and finally decided Baggio has a probability to remain unpicked.... And you shatter it immediately after.

Come on there was absolutely no way he was going to go unpicked the first round. Was really hoping he or Gullit wouldn't get banned or picked before me. Couldn't think of many other standout players other than them personally.
 
BTW it is Roberto Baggio and not Dino Baggio before someone decides to feck me over...:D

In the draft games I played, Baggio is not usually a first round pick. But then yeah, in this game most 1st round picks are either blocked or in the pool!

The age limits, DoF nominations and blocks have certainly made it harder to pick the standout players. It's going to require more knowledge and better research to dig out the hidden undervalued greats but it is fun.
 
tough this, had a few options but I'm going to go with Makalele..

2.EAP - 1. Mascherano 2. Nedved

Very good choice. With Keown already there, he will definitely boost your defence. Perfect!

Yeah, it is a bit of a weakness to have the a defender as the legacy pick when there are so many great forwards about. Can end up looking very fragile defensively if you don't compensate.
 
Same here. Can't wait until we get to the DOF round, it is almost more exciting than the draft itself. :drool: Started off by being unlucky with the draft round position, then getting lucky with Cocu, so I am in for an unlucky DoF. :nervous:
 
Skizzo said:
Yeah sorry, I meant does he get assigned the last player from the dof list.

As far as I know, he'd randomize those players and then assign in the order of the draft. Being first or last doesn't matter, as a top player can be at the top or bottom of the randomized order.
 
Theon said:
As much as I would love to see him have a great draft, I'll block Gullit :(

His versatility would have been fantastic in this draft, with the player injuries and suspension.

The game should be able to go ahead now.

I'm regretting that pigeon shit earlier. feck me, that was my nailed on first round pick right there.

And if I get Kalle now I'll be incensed at (Right said) Freddie.
 
Skizzo said:
Gotcha. Thanks for clarifying.

@Aldo....besides planning future drafts, I like you for making me look like I have no idea what im talking about either :lol:

:lol: I was confused as hell when you said it. Wasn't sure whether I had missed some rules or not.
 
OK, Gullit blocked, Nedved gone :(, my next first round choice has been somewhat buggered by Ljungberg as I wanted him to be the sole winger on both sides.

feck it, he'll destroy defences. Beware of how the poll turns on you at night :devil:

Do you think Lato would have been available in the next round? I had originally intended to go for someone else, but @antohan nudged me towards the Polish route.

I think you're always best of picking up the player you want rather than wishing they won't be taken until the next round. You really set yourself up to disappointment the other way around.

Either that or be cold hearted and make no plans which may lead to picking up the best individuals, but in my eyes that gets very see through when you present your team without a heart/cohesion.

So a player you actually rate and like yourself is always the better pick.
