Told you.
The UEFA Euro Fantasy Draft
- Thread starter Balu
- Start date
boooo.. once again proving that having AM is absolutely uselessFECK OFF. FECK OFF. FECK OFF. You get the picture.
We are going to have to wait for Theon to come online as he hasn't beeon on since yesterday and I'm not the manager. Just discussing players with him.
Played in 3 others.
He played in 84 88 and 96.. Though he wasn't at his best IMO
I'm just a guy he talks to about his team. Nothing more. If I had time, I'd play. I actually have argued a lot with him about his picks
More of a prick who is arguing with him than his AM.

I was sure that's who you were going to pick.
he let me down in the newbie draft
if he was at his best at tournament he would go in the first round im sure....
Damn, with the deluge of Italians and Germans, nationality management is proving to be a headache.
You lost to Tuppet in final?he let me down in the newbie draft
if he was at his best at tournament he would go in the first round im sure....
yap, he battered me nicely....
people didnt like my total football
even tried with Cruyff in the final but it didnt workNetto AND Shesternyov? Ffs, guys, you can't even read about them, all information is on Russian
And here I was before the draft, thinking how to fit 3 Russians in one side

Well he was at his usual best. People are going to say he wasnt because he didnt go to Euro 92' when they won it.
In 84' he played all the games for the team that got beat on penalties in the semi's.
In 88' Denmark were disappointed but he stood out scroing against Spain.
In 96' he captained them and played all matches. They were unlucky to go out after drawing with Portugal and beating Turkey.
He was a great player in an average team.
If I could pick just one more Spanish player. Just one.
Valdes?
is it two or three players from one nation? I am just randomly picking players and will surely struggle in the end
Two only per nationis it two or three players from one nation? I am just randomly picking players and will surely struggle in the end
I hope that you will use him wisely. He only has 1 draft appearance under his belt iirc, where he played as a right-back
Fantastic player

Don´t worry. He´ll be my GK.
cheers.
Yeah, I was too lazy to edit Schmeichel out, I'm on my phone. But Netto deserves some credit here after constantly getting overlooked.Don´t worry. He´ll be my GK.
cheers.
Back pals
Starting to get a bit interesting now - and will become increasingly interesting these next couple of rounds. Impossible to get a proper feel for any side yet, given it's just a load of legends so far.
Good call on structuring the thing this way, @Balu - I like it. Bit boring to begin with, everyone just getting their GOATs in - and then the proper challenge begins.
Oh, and grand move there with Big Doncwirk, @ctp - almost got away with it too.

@Theon are you going to pick soon since you're back, mate? Or I shouldn't wait?

Brilliant! Should have gone earlier, but one of the best CB's in the pool.
Desailly. That's the one I mentioned earlier about best CB (and could be a DM) that's still left.
Great pick. For the 2 tournaments he was part of team of the tournament i'm pretty sure he played exclusively central defense. Beckenbauer would arguably be considered the best cd the EURO's has ever seen.
That's true.
Next pick is very tough..
Aye, I was surprised to have the option of both Kohler and Desailly when mulling over a top centre-half for our third pick.
Not sure if he can be a DM in this draft. Surely one of the best central defenders though, I'd say that he is better defensively than Beckenbauer and some others. Should've been picked sooner, imo.
You guys in the thread know the pick before me
I think you should have picked him. He would have freed up a German spot which gives you more options.

This does say he played in the DM position although it is Wiki.
EDIT: http://www.rsssf.com/tables/96e-f.html
A more reliable source on that match, under semi-finals it does place Desailly in the midfield. So Theon can use him there if he wishes but why would he with a great midfield in place already.

That's true. But it came down to the fact I rate Kohler higher as a centre-half and in 1992 he was at his absolute peak. Not that Desailly isn't a great pick, especially in the fourth round, and has two solid Euros to back it up.
Also with Kohler you can partner him with anyone and he makes them stronger whereas Desailly with a weak partner doesn't give off that same vibe of security at the back.
True but he was better at the other tournaments so if used as DM you'd have to base his "ability" based on EURO 96', right? But like you say, why would he
