Sorry if there’s some delay when I pick, no idea how next few picks will play out so can’t leave them with anyone and won’t be awake until 8 hours from now

As long as I wake up and don’t see my players picked up

[Isotope]

Excellent draft so far. I kind of regret passing this. And 'kind of' is an understatement.

I'll just release my fury if we lose tomorrow.

[MJJ]

@Moby just clarifying but is @Don Alfredo above fit valid? As Uruguay to englanf isn't a straight line?

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Fit does not have to be straight line. It's valid.

 

[Moby]

@Moby just clarifying but is @Don Alfredo above fit valid? As Uruguay to englanf isn't a straight line?

Straight line is not for using FIT, it is for going from one country to another inside the same continent which are separated by water, like England and France.

Ah okay, that makes things earlier.

 

[willhse456]

Gio and Don completely screwed up my plans there didn't expect both to go before my turn, I hate being in the middle for chain drafts

Have some shame ffs. You got Van Basten in Round-3 ffs!

 

[harms]

Müller and van Basten as third round picks — incredible. The Europeans had it easier in the first rounds, I expected more managers to start there.

 

[Enigma_87]

Didn’t expect both you and don to fly to Europe that quickly. Leaves a lot of talent from SA for the rest of the guys to get in later rounds.

 

[Gio]

Müller and van Basten as third round picks — incredible. The Europeans had it easier in the first rounds, I expected more managers to start there.

Equally though with the new no pick 1/2 reinforcement rule, the normal advantage that the bottom of the snake has at the QF stage is largely cancelled out.

 

[harms]

I planned to stay there for 2 more rounds but others forced my hand. Ridiculous as it seem, with the amount of talent left in the South American pool, I only have a select few that'll fit seamlessly into my future side. I'm glad to steal the joint-best attacker/player and the best defender of the continent though

Yeah think you, Gio and Sjor have been lucky to get your players so far according to plan. Great spines.

Pretty happy with ours as well and @MJJ that right side brings a lot of memories for me and @Joga Bonito

@Gio i was so torn between Zizou and makelele and am always a voice for ZZ being considered among the top 20 players of all time, but being last means you need to find a way to deal with all the attacking GOAT that get picked up first

[The Red Viper]

Absolute madness Zidane lasted till Round-4.

 

[Don Alfredo]

Zidane is obviously a big name, but if all managers avoid to pick him for 50 picks straight, then doesn't this just shows that he isn't rated in the same ballpark as those first round picks?

I mean there has been a time where many/some people held the opinion that Zidane is better than Platini, and now Platini is pick number 8 and Zidane pick number 52.

I think lately he had moved to the second tier of number 10s — behind Maradona (arguably in a tier of his own), Zico and Platini, perhaps unjustly so. For a long time I thought that he was overrated, but now it's definitely the other way round.
