The Redcafe Decades Draft Tournament

Pretty much the same as playing Zidane wide. You'd need a great system to make that work.

Anto just goes a bit nuts in the draft threads.. No need to even bring up old drafts, and mention unpicked players. And I would rather NOT play him all the way as I can't keep up with how much he posts. Anyway, I'm out of this. Keep this fun, and let's not turn this into a slanging match.

I really don't want to play you either, not sure why Aldo suggested that. I actually do quite like having you around as a calming influence :)

I apologised over mentioning the unpicked player. My bad. At least I didn't change a pick after posting it... (mwahahaha Theon don't bite I'm just taking the piss here! hehehe)
 
I'll pick Kurt Hamrin.

OK, let's start discussing proper stuff. I was discussing with NM whether he should go for a diamond or XMAS tree and he mentioned a hidden gem I assumed to be Kopa. As an inside right alongside Zidane he could have worked and his adaptability at Madrid indicates he wasn't the sort to kick a fuss over a team being built around him.

That said, I wasn't sure about a 30s player in a diamond. Wouldn't it be too alien a formation? Suárez as a DLP wouldn't be doing too much different from what he did at Inter, but upfront it could be a different cup of tea. Thoughts?

I actually wound up suggesting he may be better off with a previously managed player he could play there or in a front two if he went for a diamond. Kalle, obviously.

I pick Roberto Rivelino

I was looking at Copa as an inside right.. Interesting that people don't think he can play there. The gem was somebody else and I can't remember who now!!

It was more about the formation than ability to play the role, but I wasn't sure about it which is why I'm putting it out there. Rummenigge would have been more comfortable and able to play in a two upfront with Henry if you went for the diamond, which is why I thought he was a better and safer pick.

The one that got away. I just had to pick Carlos Alberto, but I would have gladly given away a slot in another decade to have an extra 40s one and Rivelino :(

He also gives you a lot of flexibility.

I'm surprised he lasted this long really.

Yes and flexibility might become important in the end. First piece of my plan went well, was almost sure someone was going to take him but no :)
 
Come on Gio, I've been chopping and changing the sequencing of my next picks several times here!
 
I need them to pick. A little nervous about my next two picks.
 
This. Stopping halfway through the filter is not on lads. I have now literally rearranged my next four picks in the completely inverse order :nervous:

Good combo that indeed: Cabrini-Scirea-Burgnich-Zanetti

That's a very strong backline right there
 
Ridiculous defence from Fergus, awesome stuff

Everyone is worried about stopping the big names, understandably. Once they have them you will see some defensive options go to the bench instead ;)

Oh, it's my turn! Awesome!!!!!

VP, you just made it easier to close down the 50s. Will miss the goalies and a few other players though :(

I was originally tempted to do a microphone head tribute team, then realised with only two 50s picks the afros would be in short supply, but Leo Junior will be the standard bearer down the left flank.
