The Reality Draft: Main Thread (Finals)

Right on both counts.

With Socrates there, Ballack is a bit redundant. And there are a couple of class DM's still on.

I agree, but with so many people losing centre-backs through Tevez, I couldn't risk going in without a CB general. Most people are going to pick CB's this round.
 
Surprised at that too, Terry isn't worth risking a couple of top notch Makelele replacements. His loss is your gain I guess.

Not decided on that yet actually, weighing up two different options right now.

I love the other one but I suspect that the 3-5-2 would be easier to sell - though saying that, you couldn't pick a worse time to try that system on a United forum.

@Skizzo
 
Oooh, a Kaka-Sheva link up!

You really could do with Pirlo there too! :lol: @Aldo
Yeah, I wasn't happy with any of the left wingers still around, so I picked up one of the few remaining Ballon d'Or winners, who has a proven partnership with my striker on top of that. Changes my formation a bit, it will be some kind of asymmetric diamond formation.
 
The guys at the bottom of the draft will have a big advantage in the next round. There are only a few great young players around, so obviously @VivaJanuzaj gets one of them.
 
Hmm. Could have been worse I guess. Although Simonsen and Robben playing outwide would have been quite tasty.

And, how many babies did you sacrifice to get Gerrard get Tevezbola-ed, @antohan ?
 
What was decided with the Tevezbola picks though? Do they come back after the first round or go completely out of the squad?

Completely out. No baby sacrifices, just shagged his wife a handful of times. Overall, delighted to have got him, if only so briefly.
 
What the thick scouser doesn't get is I'm only a 30mins flight away from Argentina. In fact, she is coming tomorrow while he trains with Racing de Avellaneda.

@MJJ @Theon
 
I know I am usually critical of my teams in drafts (unless we are talking about my Decades Draft team :drool: ) but I'll be fecking shocked if I make it anywhere near qualifying for the second round. :lol:
 
Feck, completely overlooked him. Needto fix my excel pronto!
Really? I had been resisting him since the last round. Would have probably gone for him if I wasn't forced into a narrow formation for which I need a different style of fullback, thanks to the bearded shmuck. :mad:
 
I've changed my mind several times now but ultimately I'll go with the one who is certain to go in the next round. Never had him and would love to.

@BorisDeLeFora

And here I was, thinking that he would be the best man to fill the hole I had in my team after Puyol left (and, actually, an upgrade). I don't know how you guys play in this things regularly, I can't bear this much disappointment of missing out on players :lol: (:()

Great pick, some inferior defenders were picked before him somehow, imo. Hierro, Silva, Ferrara :drool:
 
Really? I had been resisting him since the last round. Would have probably gone for him if I wasn't forced into a narrow formation for which I need a different style of fullback, thanks to the bearded shmuck. :mad:

If he had even crossed my mind I would have taken him before Annah did, would have been absoolutely perfect for something I'm trying to do.

Balls, I couldn't find my original excel so pieced one together with various ones from other drafts but it seems Bossis was in none of them :(
 
Sorry for the delay chaps, me and MJJ had a big decision here

We'll go for IMO comfortably one of the greatest players of the last decade, as well as one of the most underrated - Il Capitano

Totti-10-AS-Roma-Wallpaper.jpg
 
Nice pick Theon, I'm still mulling over a couple of things, won't be long though.
