@P-Nut0712 The ultimate 90s strike pairing Batigol and Ronaldo. It actually happened once in a Europe Vs the Rest of the World side I think in 1998.

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.

Trying to get some players I’ve never picked before either.

Definitely going to be using thuram as a RCB based off his phenomenal performances there in 1998 @Edgar Allan Pillow

Yeah I was going to pick him 2nd just because I wanted to make that partnership, but decided to risk it and it came through.

Looking forward to your opponents explanation for why they wouldn’t be successful together

No doubt I'll be heading for a first round exit against some of these super teams.

Are we doing the best drafter award by the way @Moby
 
Would be interesting to see who goes first to SA from the managers that started in Europe. I expected the pool to be shot there, but still loads of quality left.
 
Moby said:
If everyone wants, sure.

Can you clarify something regarding the reinforcements mate? Do managers have to continue their chain from their 12th pick or just start from wherever they want?

Also, in the highly unlikely event that we didn't use our FIT pass in the initial drafting and got through to the second round, can we carry it over and then have two FIT passes to use throughout the reinforcements?

Yes, the chain continues as per the rules. 2 players per nation rule is applied for the playing 11 as well for the whole draft.

And no the FIT doesnt carry forward. One is for drafting stage, one is for reinforcements.

Nah, it isn't anything tactical. :D I fully expect most(if not all) to stay in Europe until pick 7 or something so that they can grab an Argie/Brazil/Uruguay duo.

Not concerned with the Europe quality tbh. No GOAT's left but there are tons of options from the big countries.

There’s a glaring GOAT left that I’m surprised hasn’t gone yet

Yep, Europe is stacked.

I wasn’t criticising by the way, you have to admire the tactics!

TBH tactics have been useless so far for us as even one move can feck it all up and after Messi we recalculated almost every time. :lol:

The real drafting would probably start at turn 6-7, so far all teams look great.

There's one European player that is pretty elite (no GOAT, but still) but never gets the fair does in drafts. At this point I'm not sure if he'll even make the cut, due to how stacked that position is.
