Transfer Muppet Fantasy

Caf was down for some time so Pol made an exception for Edgar.
 
Meant you will kick Balu out. I think you have my favorite team right now. And most teams won't beat Balu imo. Haven't seen most final teams yet though.
:lol: Your comment sounded like, you want me to have a team as strong as Aldo so that I kick Aldo out. At least that's how I understood it.
 
Lopez joins the team for 10m :lol:. Insane, I got my 3 attackers (Lopez, Crespo, Overmars) for 42m in total. Who would have predicted that at the beginning of the draft?

I had both Overmars and Lopez as possibly bids but I got Hazard for 10m and gave up on them.
 
Yeah it used to be really bad. I guess you were there a few years ago which means the metro wasn't there as well. Now the metro takes you to most parts and while still crowded badly it at least saves you loads of time. In fact now from Gurgaon to AIIMS would take not more than 15-20 mins. :D The commonwealth games that happened in 2010 led to all these changes including roads, bus service etc.

God, I would have loved that. You could hardly say Gurgaon (DLF II) was even there, everything around you looked under construction :lol: We are talking almost 15 years ago here!

Metro started way before commonwealth games. First line came up in 2002. I think it reached Gurgaon by 2008

Am I the only one who isn't utterly wowed by Aldo's team? I just looked at it and thought 'yeah it's pretty good'. The way vivas coming across its bloody god like.
It is good but he should not have sold Kaka though IMO. I would have also not played Henry on the left of 433. He is the best player in the team and should have the team built around him.

Sold - Aguero for 10m to NoPace
 
Sorry guys I'm on my phone - can someone make sure my update above is complete (Aguero sold to NoPace for 10'm) and could someone also bump NoPace to 34m
 
It is good but he should not have sold Kaka though IMO. I would have also not played Henry on the left of 433. He is the best player in the team and should have the team built around him.

Don't fully agree on Henry, but Kaká should have stayed. It's a clear counter-attacking side, you want Kaká and Henry in it, everything else will sort itself out somehow but you want to keep hold of Kaká, surely. Think he dropped a bollock there.

Kaká is an interesting one. It was only a few drafts ago that Theon had that diamond with Pirlo, Gattuso and De Rossi and faced with a reinforcement he went Xavi instead of Kaká. In fact Kaká went unpicked altogether. No one batted an eyelid (well, I did, but it was a private rant :lol:). Last draft you could already see him coming bck and now people are fighting over him. Mind, loads more people playing diamonds and such.
 
Anyone want to swap ljungberg for a set in stone left winger. Dont want to transfer but wouldn't mind swapping for the right player?

I wondered what the deal was with that. No way you should play Robben left.
 
Hysterical. Won't win him games, will probably lose them, and he is throwing away cash that would be great to have in a reinforcements auction.
trippy doesn't mention his name, so I choose to not believe it until @NoPace or @rpitroda confirm that there really is a bid for Maicon over 34m :lol:.

The plan for now, if I get Materazzi & Lopez:

abGDZ8eaf8.png


Any comments? Not entirely sure how to place Simeone, Cocu and Veron in midfield, maybe Veron in the middle, Simeone on the right and Cocu on the left instead?

Also waiting for Pippa to make a comment about Overmars not playing in his best position.
Yeah I'd prefer Cocu and Simeone flanking Veron. Give Veron his head because he's a brilliant (and under-rated nowadays) player in the right system. Simeone and Cocu are both archetypal box-to-box machines. The beauty is all three of your midfield can play in any of the three positions, but I'd certainly opt for Veron through the middle.

I agree about a Marquez/Helguera figure through the middle there. I liked Crappy's 3-4-2-1 type idea, Sorin and Alves lend themselves very well to that formation.
 
Nope, trippy did, I quoted him because he posted after ;). I'll edit him in. Or not, Anto did the job.

Just delete the post, too much clutter and better to see a full update of both lists than a partial of one.
