The Reality Draft: Main Thread (Finals)

Oof, Romario ahead of Iniesta - Lovely, lovely

Jayvin's been unfortunate to lose some of these draft games IMO, so it'll be good to see him go far

Indeed. It looks like he'll have a good run here.
 
Bergkamp? Interesting. Should fit in nicely with Blokhin up top, I think. I'm so afraid of this Tevezbola, I love everyone of my guys so far
 
@antohan want to roll to vicotry with Raul

Oof, lovely job Raees - suits you very nicely
 
:) Great. Rossi, Gentile, Tardelli. Only issue is that every single player I have is the opposite of a scan vote winner. Hopefully there'll not be too many random votes when I play. :(

The misconception of Tardelli being a pure DM is especially tricky. Play him as a defensive box to box midfielder which was his role and you'll piss of the people who think he was a DM. Play him as a DM and the people who actually know him will get pissed off as you play him out of his best role, even if he'd do a pure DM job well too.

Pressure :nervous:

I've had some good luck with the DoF picks so far, hopefully it continues :)
 
fecking hell, Raúl doesn't fit WM at all, could be the left inside forward but I just don't see:

Boniek-------LeftoverCF-------------Ljungberg
---------Raúl-------------------Gerrard

getting any votes at all.

Need to go back to the drawing board. At least I know I will have a back four now.

Raul looks fine there to me. Also why not have Gerrard at Halfback, he certainly has the stamina for it.

Yeah, Raúl fits there, but by the time I get to see if I get a fullback, then build the defence with scarce options... the CF will be bottom of the barrel. You don't play FIVE players upfront to be so meh overall. And no, I don't think Gerrard would make a good halfback in a WM.

Thanks for the positive thoughts though ;)
 
:lol: Anto can't catch a break here, and I'm starting to think Viva's bribing EAP!

My midfield is complete. What do you guys think of it?

...Nedved.....Neeskens...Beckham...
................Mascherano................


Edit: And I really hope Mascherano is the one fecking off to Argentina.

I really like the balance of that midfield, but I wouldn't get cute with the formation. A basic 4-4-2/4-4-1-1 looks the obvious way to go.
 
This is exactly where I am now.

Tevezbola better be kind to me... I'm passing on many players I love for the sound choice. Get on with it guys.

More so now he has Henry, he can get half a zillion strikers that would work fine there and just needs to move on to the defence.

Aye, there's one very obvious choice that would be awesome behind Henry, and is powerful enough in the air to make the most of Beckham's crosses too. I hope he goes for him.
 
Tardelli, Gentile, Amoros...I think I need another aggressive and tenacious player....I pick Gascoigne.
 
1. Annahnomoss - 1. Cocu 2. Gentile 3. Tardelli 4. Amoros 5. Rossi 6. Gascoigne
2. EAP - 1. Mascherano 2. Nedved 3. Neeskens 4. Beckham 5. Henry
3. Joga Bonito - 1. Keown 2. Baggio 3. Figo 4. O. Ardiles 5. Weah

Francescoli shits on half the GOATs in this. My muppet dream was getting him legacy and Rummenigge DoF forward, I could then play a trident and play any random striker who would still fill his boots all day long :drool:

Keep him there though, it's a reality draft and reality has both bumps and windfalls along the way.

I called it @VivaJanuzaj, you jammy bastard.

Little did I know I would get all the bumps and you all the windfalls.

That would be truly hilarious. :lol:

Not really, since the decision was announced AFTER TITO sent the list, and I actually argued against it :mad:

If Raúl was 5th it's all well and good, the reading order got changed, but if the allocation was affected I'm certainly NOT happy.

Hmm, I think it was just the announcement that was done in reverse order. Only EAP and TITO know though.
