Even more absurd, there's a good chance that no one will pick the best player in the draft
He's too good to pass up surely.

- Thread starter Skizzo
- Start date
He's too good to pass up surely.
He needs a LB more badly
No way Joga picks him I think.. Cutch won't I am sure as well.. so it will be down to you and Viva
Then go for him, I doubt Joga will.
If you're off for longer and already made a decision, you could send me your picks with a back-up pick in case Joga picks one of them. Of course if you want to think about it for longer, you can use the 8 hour deadline as well.
Sounds absurd, but he was probably the most wanted man in this round
Nothing absurd about it, most teams have distinctly lacked someone of his quality instead of the likes of Simeone and Dunga doing jobs they were never particularly good at.
Baresi!
Desailly!
Desailly!

It sounds absurd outside the draft logic, that's what I'm talking about - for him to be picked ahead Platini, Van Basten, Puskas, Scirea, Passarella... With Simeone, Mascherano and Dunga here it was obvious that he would/should be the first choice for 3 out of 4 semi-finalists.
Puskas, Platini and Garrincha
Puskas, Platini and Garrincha
His defence is the least convincing.. but he has a great midfield and attack. Cutch.. does he go Muller or CB.
And just like that you've got the best attack
and you still have the poorest
Puskas, Platini and Garrincha
Now he just needs Pele, Maradona and Di Stefano up there and it would start to look like a proper team.Yeah maybe, together with cutch I suppose. But the all round part...and you still have the poorest
Plus, you gotta love my defense

You needed Desailly more than you needed Baresi.
Not if the system is going to change
Two picks are too much at this stage Teams are loosing their individuality.
Teams are loosing their individuality.True, I used to hate it too. The thing is that if you get only one the drafting order is criticalTwo picks are too much at this stage
Cutch team looks brilliant,got great balance.
Agreed, anything else is just masturbation.That's something you have to decide
Less reinforcements the better is what I prefer personally. Never like it when sides show up for the finals looking completely different to what they started as. But that's just me.
All your rivals are playing one upfront, a permanent back three doesn't make much sense at all, except for ensuring you can rightfully claim to be a "counter-attacking team". Be careful what you wish for.
Two picks are too much at this stage
The only teams I feel attached to are Joga's and Cutch's, both teams still retain the same character and style.. Cutch already had a GOAT feel to his side so his improvements don't take away from it whereas Joga has been slowly and solidly building up what was already a brutally strong side.
I liked the sheep idea
I never said the system change will definitely become a more defensive one. Baresi(apart form being a GOAT which I needed) gives my team more flexibility to play all sorts of formations.
I'm in a bit of a conflct here. Gimme a couple of minutes to decide between two players in the same position

Interesting picks. @Skizzo will make the draw once he wakes up.
So.. my 3 GOATs went. Fair enough. I was hoping somebody would pick Platini/Puskas and Carlos Alberto was a no brainer for Viva imo.
Almost went for Cafu instead, but CA gives me much more maneuvering between defensive and offensive setups and I have plenty of options. Plus, he's better
@VivaJanuzaj .. cracking looking side now. 5-2-3 or 4-5-1.. either way, it'll look pretty strong. I do think that Cutch's side is just unbelievable though - he's the one to avoid, he is so strong from 1-11.
Guys Krol @RB would he be higher rated than Zanetti?

Scirea got shamefully ignored. I kinda expected Joga to pick Scirea and play Hierro in midfield instead of Mascherano.
Brehme, Kohler, Scirea, Burgnich would have been such a brilliant defense.
Cheers mate, I have a couple more options too.
I'd rate kps as the team to beat here. Every team can go all the way here and it's a matter of lucky draw, neither team has a distinct weakness and it's just about matchups atm.
Would have been really perfect together as a unit.
