And so WW3 begins...

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Gandalf is gearing up the underrated (will never be rated) team of the draft.

What? Why? Please tell me you're pulling my leg there.

 

[Moby]

What? Why? Please tell me you're pulling my leg there.

Ballack is one of the most underrated around here, but I'd be glad if you can improve his status and sell him properly and change that.

Has Ballack has ever been used in his peak position which was close to the AM role?

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Ballack and Cambiasso are never rated. I had both in last draft, but got no joy. They do their job...but lack any oomph factor in pulling votes. One of those who are neither here not there. Ballakc (niether Am nor CM) and Cambiasso (neither DM nor a CM) thingy.

Has Ballack has ever been used in his peak position which was close to the AM role?

Think I did that last time in a CAM role, but he did not have imapct either in centre nor in attack.

That was dimaond... another formation he has never played in.

Don't ask me, I rate him highly.

Has Ballack has ever been used in his peak position which was close to the AM role?

It would be even worse than using him as a CM because in these things people look for creativity, vision and that magical spark from number 10s or AMs. Ballack was a different type of AM who relied more on his drive and determination and not technique (Not to say he was technically bad or anything).

Anyway for me it's not an issue.

For me, he gets best if used in a 4-1-4-1 formation. Two good attack minded CM's and that's it. Anything else would be very subjective.

 

[Pippa]

I don't agree that his peak was as extended as you are trying to make it out to be.

He was a real prospect in 2002 with Fiorentina, with what he was able to manage with Fiorentina, a team that got relegated with only 22 goals scored in 34 matches. At only 19 as well, coming off the awful start at Inter to do what he did? It's amazing. The hype he got after his début against Chievo was incredible.

In 2003 he was regarded as one of the best CFs in Italian football, not bad for a guy who was only 20. Then he started performing on an international and continental level which brought praise from everyone else.

Adriano finished 6th in 2004 World Player of the Year voting (behind Henry and Sheva), and 5th in 2005 (behind Henry and Eto'o). Two years that show a clear peak, and progression from a great season in 2003.

91 goals (and several assists) in 128 matches over 3 seasons (2002-03, 2003-04, 2004-05) is a high enough peak. And for 10m, that's even better. How many peak years has Drogba had as a CF? Rooney as a CF? And then you see Drogba going for 35m, Rooney going for 40, and Adriano at 10.

 

[Moby]

Him, too? Damn.

Take this tip for this and any future drafts. Just stay away from anyone remotely associated with Chelsea in recent years. We have enough managers here who have learnt that lesson the hard way.

[Annahnomoss]

It isn't too much about his position as it is about his time at Chelsea. The classic "Went to England after their peak and is now rated for that part of their career instead". He went there when he was 30 already and played until he was 34 - which for a technically gifted CM is alright. For someone like Ballack who relied on being physically dominating it of course meant he had already started the decline slightly before he took the step to go to Chelsea.

So what all "Premier League exclusively" fans remembers are those 4 years rather than his peak.

 

[Moby]

I think he should be used in a 3 man midfield either like this

---Ballack---
--CM--CM--

or

-CM-Ballack-
---CM---

Yeah pretty much. But still for some reason he doesn't seem to be a "fantasy" player like a lot are in these things. If I'm going into a real game I'd love to have a player like Ballack in the team knowing how effective he can be in multiple roles, but in a competition based on pleasing an audience, not so much. But as I said I would love to see him get proper respect in a draft which he deserves.

Hold on guys. let me update mine.


DO NOT POST BIDS!!!

 

[Moby]

Update my latest bid for Rio, @Edgar Allan Pillow

 

[kps88]

Edgar, for someone who's moaning about the availability of players, you've sure been bidding a lot!

Oh and a useful tip is to just refresh the page before posting your list. That way you can update it if any bids came while you were typing.

 

[Gandalf Greyhame]

Pippa must be .

 

[Polaroid]

Still one managerial vacancy
@Thisistheone
@KM
@Balu
@Gio
@Brwned

Just to reiterate, Anto did not break any rule nor he was kicked out for bidding over budget, it is simply because he was never keen in the first place and his unfortunate tendency to be involved in polemics was disrupting the game (happened in the auction draft, happened in this thread). So again, not entirely his fault, not totally fair to him that he took the fall but the game is running smoothly now. If no one takes up the last managerial vacancy, maybe Theon can fill it (I floated the suggestion to him in a PM just now, we will see if he takes it up after he wakes up. This is a last resort as I would not want to lose an AM like him, the loss to my team will definitely be felt)

OK. Updated my post with changes till before.

OK to proceed.

 

[Balu]

I won't play, really need a break from playing but enjoy following the draft.

If no one takes up the last managerial vacancy, maybe Theon can fill it (I floated the suggestion to him in a PM just now, we will see if he takes it up after he wakes up. This is a last resort as I would not want to lose an AM like him, the loss to my team will definitely be felt)

If we can't get a 16th manager we can go with 15 with following -

14 managers play 7 knockouts

The team with the closest losing margin gets a second chance against the 15th team for the 8th team for QFs. (If multiple teams have tie for closes losing margin then straw poll among remaining managers as to who gets a second chance)

Yeah remember doing something like that in the newbies once. I was the "best loser", and lost by a close margin in the second attempt as well.

[kps88]

Seeing everyone bidding big, I have no idea how this is going to pan out. Do people think we're ever going to see bargains here? Even in the later rounds you'll have the few who saved their money getting into bidding wars. I think the only way of getting someone on the cheap is if you pick a player not everyone rates.

 

[Polaroid]

If we can't get a 16th manager we can go with 15 with following -

14 managers play 7 knockouts

The team with the closest losing margin gets a second chance against the 15th team for the 8th team for QFs. (If multiple teams have tie for closes losing margin then straw poll among remaining managers as to who gets a second chance)

Simples

It can work, an option if no one takes up the 16th slot
