Remember all Pedro available. 10m. Bargain for a player who works hard and offers a lot going forward.
Nope, I was sure paceme wouldn't get him, I never said I will .@Balu was so certain he'd get schweini!

@Fergus' son you have a bid on Ramos who has already been sold. Need to update that.
Guys please update the purchased list so all these guys making new bids don't double up.
Ffs, Deco for 10m is a steal as well and then there's Totti. Player of the tournament in the sheep draft, and now going for 10m ? Insane.
Didn't Maicon run out a while ago and NoPace already had him? I'm sure there was something about @antohan making a comment, @Annahnomoss quoting it, everyone forgetting about it, then NoPace nominating Maicon again? I won't sort it out, just thought I mentioned it, if someone else wants to .
Don't tell that to anyone until I have Materazzi. If someone is willing to pay for uber-cnut Ramos, he might be interested in my uber-cnut as well.That and Ramos has already been sold
FAO ALL MANAGERS, MAKE YOUR NOMINATIONS ASAP, NOMINATIONS AFTER 29 MAR 0200 HRS START AT 15M BIDDING. NOMINATIONS NEED NOT BE ACCOMPANIED BY BIDS. NOMINATIONS WITHOUT BIDS WILL BE REMOVED AFTER 12 HRS. OTHER MANAGERS CAN NOMINATE THESE PLAYERS AGAIN IF THEY WISH TO. AS LONG AS YOUR NOMINATIONS ARE IN BEFORE THAT DEADLINE, YOUR BIDS WILL START AT 10 M
, everyone's going for 10-15m. It's bizarre - don't you think? And does this happen in every sort of draft?
I remember when @Crustanoid used his first pick to bag Peter Schmeichel in the 1960s draft. Seemed like a sensible choice at the time (one of the best in his position of all time), but he got bugger all kudos for it and was effectively hampered by not using that opportunity for a marquee outfield player. Ever since then keepers rarely go before turn 5/6 and most likely 10/11 in a regular snake draft.I don't understand why keepers aren't priced and rated as variedly as the other players. Different keepers have different qualities, and different weaknesses - some more than the others. Shouldn't they be priced and budded for in accordance, too? This is what I think:
Tier One:
I'd say Buffon, VDS and Casillas, in that order - they're world class in everything they do. They command their box, have excellent reflexes, brilliant anticipation, good distribution, good leadership/communication, set-piece awareness, penalties, shot-stopping, consistency, experience at the highest level for club/country and organization of defence. Dida would probably be up here too, if not for his brainfart moments.
These blokes should be going for minimum 25m. (That's the reason I priced Casillas at 19m)
Tier Two:
Only a few world-class skills, others are merely above average. They're not the perfect products like those in tier one due to one reason of the other: Valdes, Cech, Reina, Neuer, Cesar, Dida
Not less than 15m for any of these guys, 20 for Dida, perhaps.
Tier Three:
Unproven talents/blokes with only a few select strengths and quite a few select weaknesses that have been and can be exploited. Lloris, Courtois, Lopez, DDG, Toldo, Mignolet, Hart, Diego Alves, Sirigu, etc.
Shouldn't be priced at more than 10m.
Instead, everyone's going for 10-15m. It's bizarre - don't you think? And does this happen in every sort of draft?
Ramos and Maicon, can their managers sort it out and update the team list?
Don't tell that to anyone until I have Materazzi. If someone is willing to pay for uber-cnut Ramos, he might be interested in my uber-cnut as well.
you have over-rated him, and he isn't up to much when you consider him as attacking-midfielder compared to others in the field.I will say it now and all of you peeps take note; if you make my match discussion 100% about Yaya, I will NOT be happy =P.
How much are you willing to pay for Müller @Polaroid ? Thought I might get him for 20m, but I'm a bit worried now. Have to look for alternatives, ffs
you have over-rated him, and he isn't up to much when you consider him as attacking-midfielder compared to others in the field.
. Now that I think about it, I need to push Müller over 30m to back up my Müller > Robben statement from the last draft .LOL I am not sure yet, it also depends on the prices for Albertini, Overmars, Fabregas, Petit, Deco, Ozil, Kroos etc, I might pursue Muller to the max (maybe sell a player to raise funds) or turn my attention to the other players
The player we get will decide our system
Poisened chalice and all. I thought about a Totti attack earlier, when I nominated David Villa.Totti for 10m ffs

Villa Totti Müller
Simeone Veron Schweini
Abidal Materazzi Cannavaro Sagnol
Neuer
was the plan, but then I went with Crespo instead, which changed everything.
I like the Veron, Simeone, Crespo connection a lot though. And after all the attention my Cruyff team in the worldcup draft and your and Tito's Totti team in the sheep draft got, I didn't want to create a false 9 team again. It's time for something different now, at least for me.I would have loved that!
Totti > Crespo
Well Totti > most players IMO
He always misses out. It's a crying shame and I almost wished I'd taken part this time to sweep up all this talent that's been left behind.no one bid for Valeron yet
Fair point. But he doesn't get rated that highly in those positions.It's not like you are forced to play Totti as a false nine. You can play him from the left, or as a #10 without a problem.
