Transfer Muppet Fantasy

[Moby]

If you mean playing Henry on the left is his favoured position then that is absurd. He hardly played as a left winger for Arsenal. His peak was a forward who had pretty much the free role but he still was the further forward given that his usual striking partner was DB who dropped back into the midfield. He played ok for Barca on the left but that was far from his best form.

Yes, exactly the free role drifting onto the left.

[crappycraperson]

That's what I meant actually but we will cross that bridge on the match day

 

[Moby]

Don't worry about it.

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Should Inzaghi not be 15m then?

03.05 it says

Inzaghi was nominated before, but missed inclusion in list. I just placed first bid after midnight, so it would be 10m only. See nomination below.

Can someone add Inzaghi and Toni to striker list please?

[Moby]

That name

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

What would ya'all think of this?

Pirlo and Milan won 2006-07 in this formation
Pirlo and Italy witn WC 2006 in this formation

Pirlo@ WC'06
3 Man of the Match performances incl. the finals.
World Cup All-star team
World Cup Bronze Ball

Would this be a better fit for Pirlo?

Maybe with Drogba instead of Inzaghi?

 

[Moby]

I liked your earlier ones better. Your players are better suited to narrow formations and your fullbacks are capable of handling the flanks by themselves.

 

[antohan]

Ramos is 2006 Cannavaro?

It's actually uncanny how similar it is to Italy '06 once you skip Dida, but I would be wary that it's not exactly the most memorable World Cup winning side. Boring and effective Italian side really. Malouda looks very well suited to it, mind, a vast improvement on what I felt about him in a diamond

 

[Polaroid]

@Polaroid - Reserve one match 7/8 for me. I will be travelling from 3rd to 7th.

@Polaroid I'd much rather play midweek and not on the weekend.

Will try to arrange

@Polaroid How about making the draw tomorrow noon to add some interest? I don't think its going to change any picks.

It may or may not change picks, in this case it would be better to do the draw when every team is done and dusted to be fair to everyone

 

[crappycraperson]

I am happy to play on second if whoever I am facing has no issues BTW.

We can do the draw on 31.

 

[Polaroid]

Interesting how transfers became a significant feature of this game, when I first proposed it to add flexibility and realism, there was very vocal opposition to it saying it punishes teams who plan well but I believe it has worked well making this more than an auction draft but a true transfer Muppet fantasy draft and transfer system will become embedded in future drafts, another draft innovation I can add to the common player pool concept, fitting end to my draft organiser career

 

[Polaroid]

The draw will only be done when every team is done and dusted, and the transfer embargo is in effect

 

[Moby]

My team is over, and I won't be buying or selling anyone.

The only change that would be made to my team would be the extra 4m that might come from Edgar based on his sales.

 

[Balu]

Seriously guys, stop stealing money from me , corrected my budget and added Cordoba to Fergus' team and Handanovic to nopace.

[Moby]

Surprised both Candela and Panucci don't garner any interest while Maicon went for 32. I was seriously considering Candela and Angloma (before I found out he was pre 70 ) But then the Barca duo seemed just as good. Panucci's lack of pace is what made me prefer Ferrer over him. In a 4-3-3 I believe the Barca duo fit better.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

It's better to get the draw first before committing to dates.

@kps88 when do you plan to finish your team?

 

[crappycraperson]

@kps88 when do you plan to finish your team?

 

[Balu]

kps is only missing his rightback, now that nopace outbid him again. Pepe and Valeron complete his team once the 24hours are over. Actually, I don't think we need to wait 24h hours for any players from here on. If kps and nopace finish their bidding war on Maicon and one of them moves on to a different rightback, we can end the auction, imo. No one will bid on the other players.

 

[Moby]

Another name I had for late back up was Cordoba. Got Puyol so didn't need him but he would have fit right in as I wanted a pacy backline.

He's probably the quickest defender (CB) I've seen.

 

[MJJ]

Nopace has 85m leftover...impressive.

Fergus bought Cordoba, after he pushed Materazzi to 14m without a chance to get him anyway

How do you guys rate the Materazzi - Cannavaro partnership by the way? I thought it was worth to spend big on Cannavaro, if I get to pair him with the uber-cnut cheaply, because they both excelled in that pair more than they did with others? I really like them in my team, they fit in perfectly.

They had a good tournament and Materazzi was good even if not at the level of Cannavaro but I'd suggest you to improve on that if you go through. Never really rated Materazzi highly and with him you can see an error coming at some point.

But it's a good sell, surely.

 

[Moby]

And Cordoba is still listed as "open to bids" in that list, so I guess that's an error.

He was planning to when we made the deal. And yes, now he isn't.

But it's okay, I needed money then as my team wasn't complete and I didn't know how much I would need to get my players. It is now, so I am willing to let go of that money.

 

[antohan]

So he basically got Kaká for Eto'o and a packet of crisps? Some of these deals... Raúl unceremoniously shipped out at half price

 

[Moby]

So he basically got Kaká for Eto'o and a packet of crisps? Some of these deals... Raúl unceremoniously shipped out at half price

To be fair Eto'o went for 9 less than Kaka and I agreed with Pippa for an even deal before he jumped the gun and sold him to Edgar for 16.

I don't care much about money once I have my team, tbh.
