The Road Trip Draft

[Moby]

never watched him in his AM days so wasnt sure if he would be compatible with Xavi, you were safe as far i was concerned.

Yeah, believe having Iniesta available would have been more tempting. FWIW I had Xavi and Suarez as the advanced playmaker in International Draft I think, which was received well.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

Will you make a pick before the game, @Pat_Mustard?

Probably not mate. Just waiting for Skizzo to come back online.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

if Iniesta lasted it would be almost impossible to turn it down even though he wasnt in original plans.

Okay.

 

[GodShaveTheQueen]

@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

I understand the rationale but I expected you to go for the Goat Italian LB and Zizou. Gives so many options formation wise (4 or 5 at the back) considering you have Baresi and Thuram too. Love the Nesta pick though. Makelele restricts the formation options.

Last on the table either ways is a great place to make picks in a block free restriction based draft.

Thanks tuppet.

Baresi and nesta beside one another is many a drafters ideal pairing so couldn’t pass it up.

Have a very clear plan in my head that will get shot to shit no doubt

 

[2mufc0]

Thanks tuppet.

 

[Moby]

In light of the Tuppetgate events, should we just decline all the newbie votes for safe measure?

 

[harms]

No. We're watching out for him.

 

[Jim Beam]

In light of the Tuppetgate events, should we just decline all the newbie votes for safe measure?

Don't think that's necessary. We have newbies playing, should be allowed to vote. It would also create more of a closed group feeling which isn't the best.

Just my 2 cents, don't know what others think.

If all teams were to be given a world class goalkeeper, who would be your favourite 5aside team at the moment?

@Enigma_87 and @The Red Viper versus @Moby would be my grand final

Maybe would have been better with some GOAT blocks, although it's a draft nerds wet dream picking all these top players.

Yup I'd imagine you would've taken him or Nesta considering prioritizing the defence.

Glad we landed him. Carlos Alberto and Facchetti at round 4 and 5 is really something, considering how they dovetail with the rest of our team so far.
