Odd number of pick means that those closer to the bottom will be at a disadvantage when it comes to subs.

Just ignore the goalkeeper till the last pick and there's no disadvantage with the sub and there are more than enough great goalkeepers available.

Not perfect, but I'm quite happy with it, given the players my DoF brought in for me.

Kohler Xavi and Shevchenko? Well it might not be as good as what I got but I don't think there's any room for complaining, top picks in each round imo
Click to expand...
Kohler is great, but while Xavi and Sheva are great players, they're not the ones I would have picked if given the choice. Don't forget Brolin either, who was actually quite good but most will only know as a fattie.

Still, I think it's going to work quite well and I'm satisfied with my team.

Off to watch CL now.

If everyone left keepers last according to the "keepers don't matter" conventional wisdom? Sure I would have.

I'm not fussed, if I go through I know my keeper will miss his drugs test for a fact so hopefully he can come back to pappa then.
 
Aldo said:
I wanted him mainly for his versatility though he's terribly underrated on here.
Click to expand...
For a second I thought you're talking about Pfaff, which kinda confused me, like a lot :lol:
 
I finally understand why no one ever listens to me when I tell them too get him. I was close to picking him all the way back when I got Thiago, yet still around. Criminally underrated, clearly.

Who is in yours? :) Scirea is the only good pick all along(except Tardelli who was sent to Argentina) but everybody had great defenders. Cocu was alright, far from the best but far from the worst and Rossi is again in the middle.

But he's unpicked and I honestly thought he's younger, didn't expect him to be eligible. Also MJJ won :(.

I didn't get Effenberg, I got Gerrard as a midfielder. The DoF pick you are missing there is Raúl.

Annah got some great breaks, unlucky to lose Tardelli but Cocu was one of the better legacy picks, not his fault he makes little sense in the team created thereafter.

I suggested to use him as a left wingback, I actually think he would have been an awesome wingback.
 
Annahnomoss said:
Indeed but still far from someone like Enzo who was the best.

That doesn't make Cocu a liability, it only makes Viva a runaway winner (not Stobz, who was lucky not to lose his good DoFs but had to live with the challenge of fitting Camoranesi).
 
Aldo said:
So you are the third unluckiest manager because you got the second best instead of the best? feck off. :lol:
Click to expand...

No, because I was the sole loser of the TBola round. Prior to that I was on the positive side of things. The rest who lost DOF players, lost defenders.

Tardelli was far from being the best player to go in T-bola, let alone the most crucial to a team. And it's not just me arguing your third place, I actually think once I lost Gerrard my only issue is the rigidity of Ljungberg/Raúl. Other managers have had to contend with worse things happening. e.g. crappy getting Mary Poppins, he was far and away the striker I didn't want, or Skizzo getting Solskjaer and Sánchez which pretty much nailed his frontline. Then MJJ/Theon had the relative misfortune of adding Rivaldo to Bochini and Dalglish, which looked a complete nightmare at the time until T-Bola helped out with that.

Losing Tardelli is nowhere near the biggest problem I can imagine, truckloads of competent midfielders knocking about at the time as well, even now.

Yup, Skizzo should probably have been the third in the unluck one.
