What a childI'm really not sure mate, sort of deflated at the moment. Obviously I'd try to put up my case and I do have a few weapons up my sleeve, but just looking at that pic makes me think they don't deserve to lose. 
I want Ronaldo and will get him in the second round, just watch. The plan was Maradona-Ronaldo and the questions were because Eusebio dropping back was the alternative.
If I don't, tough luck for you as that would mean I'm getting the third and last 70s rightback. Fingers crossed Theon, fingers crossed, I may pull it off.
You're mental

Nor are you playing against me, which is why I wonder why you celebrate it so much and persist in having a go at my players.
It really hasn't dawned on you that you need a double pivot, hasn't it?
You just lack any self awareness - go and read the last pages, it starts with you slagging off my team saying how easy it will be run through. Purely so you could get Maradona.
I started replying about your team because of the way you were going on about mine, I thought that was obvious. It was blatantly clear that its me against Stob+Anto in the next game because of how you're going on.
And anyway, that post doesn't explain why you want to get a right back "because Theon is a tit".. Why am I tit? Because I took Maradona? Grow up you complete nut job
Maradona carried me to the semi's in the all-time draft and Theon has a better side than I did. Will take some stopping now. In today's game where you can barely tackle, Xavi-Tigana is not lightweight IMO. It's a lovely pairing.
Brwned also looking superb. You got your work cut out Aldo, sorry for that!
As a side note, don't think I've ever seen so much gamesmanship going on in a draft

Packing my bags already mate. Really impossible scenario, no shame in admitting. Well played Brwned.
Best's already drowning himself in victory drinks but the rest of the lads ain't falling for this gamesmanship from Aldo. They're focussed and prepared and won't let any complacency slip in.

That's half the fun isn't it? Winding up Theon and letting him run away like the Duracell bunny.
I would not have been this deflated if this was outside Redcafe, but in here, no chance. Anyway time will tell.
I have no shame in losing to my favourite player of all time.
I hold the key to Aldo's survival. Have to say, the more I look into ti the more it looks bleak.
You really don't. You can pick Facchetti, if you think that's the key for me. I have a gamble in mind, it doesn't involve him and I probably won't pick him even if you don't, that would be my last throw of the dice.
That settles it for me then, my only worry was really ruining it for you.
It's crystal clear Cutch's weak points are the fullbacks and he can't fix both of them so I have to ensure I have enough troubling him on both flanks and Joya alone would be primed for Cutch to take risks with that right flank. feck that. Garrincha or Facchetti, let him choose who will be his headache.

I pick Giacinto Facchetti
Nice options for me going first in the next round if I can sneak past Anto.
Bit shit waitin so long this time round but

Erm antohan, it is not your turn mate.
Wait it is. Sorry
Wait it is. Sorry
Considerin all my options here guys. How do you's think Breitner would fare at left back up against Garrincha? Is Ayala an option at right back?
Make sure to remind me later that reverse psychology is my enemy.

Absolutely. I actually mentioned it earlier but you looked like such a beast that I deleted the post as it would surely get Theon into muppet overdrive. If I got Maradona that would mean you guaranteed to be strengthening with one of him or Garrincha. As it stands, that is also the case.
Honestly, Breitner would be a strong leftback, surely, but then you would have to play Voronin in midfield, or get an 80s DM (Essien
). Do so, by all means, nothing I would prefer more than Breitner stuck all the way back there.Ayala would be a rubbish rightback. And there's me wondering whether Junior or Luis Enrique could do a job on Stoichkov...

You have the best team already IMO now that Jayvin is out, let alone when you add the likes of Garrincha/Facchetti to your team!
If you were using reverse psychology it failed spectacularly, one factor weighing on me was if you didn't get Facchetti I may wind up facing him myself!!!!!
Houston, I have a problem...

I think Breitner is an option if it would help nullify probably your star player. I'm not particularly intimidated by your centre midfield, so who knows, Voronin or Essien could do a job there
Nonsense. You, Anto and Brwned are every bit as strong and I havnt looked at the rest yet
Voronin in the middle and Breitner at fullback is a deceng option in my view. No-one's stopping Garrincha but he'll do a dece t job and going forward will be a handful.
Someone in the team hotel was reading out loud some comments from a special SunSport insert on the upcoming games. It had all sorts of sexual references to what could happen with Garrincha and Alba. The simpleton thought it was something about Jessica Alba and there's no getting that out of his head now.
Currently quality-controlling lookalikes, will this do?
Mind, Mané had a reputation for shagging anything that moved so he will probably happily go along with it.

Think Voronin could be horrendously underrated that's all, will need a good sell
The best teams in the first round were Jayvin and you, said that from the beginning and still think it. I might overrate Jayvin's team a tad, or underrate KM's, seeing as he has gone out.
I have gone mental. This decade rule has done my head in.
Fair enough, I really struggled to seperate many of the sides. I think one of the keys will be versatility as players will have to be moved around to accommodate others later on. I'm not too bad in that regard, havnt really studied the rest of you's
You are well set indeed. I had EDogen as the frontrunner, Jayvin as the challenger once he got through (assuming EDogen wouldn't get royally owned by Brwned, he could have easily got the Trinity!!!!) and you as the dark horse that was primed to improve the most.
I've already said what I thought your two picks should be and the Facchetti pick was designed to pretty much force you to go that way. It still leaves plenty of room for upgrade, particularly with your 60s players being very easily upgradeable and Garrincha a great option for your -currently- spare 30s slot.
I've spent the last 15 minutes trying to figure out how you guys will pick next and it's very tough to guess with the decade rules. It's almost like a chess game.
Here's my guesses
VP - Matthaus or maybe Ronaldo
Aldo - Cruyff
KM - Platini
Stobzilla - Baresi,
Cutch - Maldini, Iniesta
Beyond that, I can't tell at all. Too many variables. Stobzilla needs to replace Gerrard I suppose but there's no easy alternative if Iniesta is taken.

suck to be you, Aldo. We should move the draft to neutral place. RAWK?
