The Redcafe Decades Draft Tournament

I doubt he was better than Bergomi, as important as he was to his team and the tactics, Bergomi was overall a better defender and player for me.

The beauty of being able to pick more or less two in a row, Bergomi was great pick but followed by Brehme? Ridiculous. Brwned is really making use of being at the end of the draft, Edwards/Charlton and Bergomi/Brehme are very complementary.

He he, I was thinking about doing that with another player, posting the picture and seeing if anyone worked it out. This is way too easy though. Surprised you went for him TBH.

Hagi orchestrating like Platini, Boniek buzzing around getting on the end of his through balls, with Facchetti overlapping. He's a natural fit there, dictates the play and provides goals from midfield.
 
Well this decade thing is harder than I thought and now I will pick someone I did not intend to pick from the start. Experiments here I come :D

I pick Sergio Busquets.

Yeah had him as a backup to Gullit had passed on the dutchman for this round.
Yeah Gullit was an option had he fallen through, albeit I wasn't sure how much the Caf would appreciate how useful he was in wide areas had he been required to play there.

I get the picture, didn't think you had a high opinion of him though.

A cracking player but I'm not seeing where you are going with this at all if I'm honest. Very strange pick.

Well we'll see how that goes, I think that's how I'll be using him.

I like these strange picks only to make up for it at round 12. We will see what happens.
 
Has been waiting on the sidelines after Desailly was picked ahead to keep a Plan B alive.

He's been fretting ever since so you will excuse the joyous reaction as he hears the drafting news...

Yeah I'd earmarked him as one of a very small handful of ball-playing centre-halves for anyone going down the possession/Barcelona route.

Time for a defender I think, I pick Laurent Blanc

He was the reason I picked Desailly ahead of Hierro. If Hierro went, Blanc alongside Desailly was still a good outcome. Not sure the United company will help portray Blanc in the best/peak light though :nervous:
 
Is anyone on? Have a question based on fairly recent players. Don't want to completely mess things up with one pick.
 
I'll be back in 40 mins if you can wait. Not sure there's any hurry.
