He'll be a hard sell, no two ways about it. It is however one of those who in a normal draft gets trounced by the Nestas of this world, but pretty much peaked bang on at World Cup time and had it in them to make a good fist of the opportunity. Not the Euros, not some CL/league season, the World Cup of all places. There are quite a few such cases, it's a shame no one's picking them, or maybe my luck that I'm just waiting for them to land on my lap. We'll see.
Fantasy Tournament: World Cup All-Time All-Stars

Regret the timing with hindsight? You can be a chancer and hope you get lucky or you can prioritise what you need even if it means missing out on a lot of nice to haves. Nothing wrong with that.BTW, there's still a couple of players out there, one in particular, which is just fecking ridiculous, he even is already photographed on this thread. Bizarre.
Or not, maybe he just lacks the stats, awards and listing as an All-Star which would nail him a spot in turns 1-5.
No, not at all. I meant that more in general towards these kind of players and less towards specifically left/right.

@THEON!
Chill Anto. My last test started 4 hours ago. I've not been home long.
Tests 
It's been almost 5 hours, proper daytime ones, what's up? Theon seemed pretty clear what he wanted last night.
im off, PM'd my picks to anto
Aye, been bladdy ages.
He can spend hours deliberating over a pick, literally!
That said, he's probably just busy at work or with the family.
feck the family! We've got a draft going on!
I can guarantee you he has at least 10 starting XIs and Socrates is playing deep in at least one of them, just to test whether he can squeeze another #10.
Two hours to go @Theon
Don't we want the games to start on a Saturday anyways? Most people are on when there's football to be seen on TV and therefor most likely to vote then.
It's almost the contrary. We saw in the last one that there was close to zero activity in the game that was held on the day when United was playing. Pre game anticipation, in game reactions and post game moaning takes up most of the forum.
I'd say having a game when when United is playing is a strict no, it is unfair to the ones who participate in that game as they are bound to get no discussions going.
Otherwise as well, if a big game is on, it will hamper the activity in the draft.
Agree with Aldo, low activity drives people to take an interest as there's bugger all else going on. No one prefers reminiscing about great players over chastising Moyes, Giggs and Valencia.
The worst part is I couldn't care less what Theon picks, it's rpitroda and Annah picking my CB and RB that worries me.
I'm pretty sure I know who Annah is going to pick, the others I'm less sure of.
Really? Most others have hit a limit on one or two conditions, which makes them easier to predict. With Annah, he could pick anything, and he needs a RB and CB, add a tendency to make leftfield picks and it is really giving me the craps.
Wouldn't put my house on it or anything but I know which CB I'd be going for if I was him basically.Really? Most others have hit a limit on one or two conditions, which makes them easier to predict.

Ah, OK. I've literally no idea what he may pick, looks like a random sniper to me. Oh! I think I know who you are thinking.
You shouldn't have written that, now he's probably thinking for hours, questioning his pick and trying to find out if it's the one you two are thinking about and we have to wait another night before it's our turn again
Nah, he seems quite confident about what he wants.
Year 3477. It's getting cold and food supplies are almost over and Theon hasn't picked yet.

Like Anto says though, he seems like someone who knows quite quickly who he wants..

To make it even harder, Vicente was a CB and I may use him there as both him and Bellini were used to playing lone-defenders.
I love the assessment though "Tendency to make left-field picks", it is actually freakishly close to my priority 1 idea right now. I have a feeling it will change as I just woke up and I am going to look in to it again.
WTF still no pick. Between Aldo and Theon, my whole day is gone.
Theon has about 15 minutes to go. Have no idea what further clarity he expects to get from them.
anto I'm picking a right back next by the way =P.
Not entirely sure why you're worried about CB - i don't need another CB.

Sorry Theon - need to go and want to make my pick.

Sorry lads, literally just walked through the door. I've spent about 6 hours on trains/waiting at train stations today and just had no time to get on. One of those days.
I'll pick now
I'll pick now
Crackin player
Sorry for picking - hope he wasn't one you were after. Just wanted to get it moving!
Yeah- and great for my team. Need attacking full backs and he is just perfect. Great World Cup too in 62.
No he wasn't pal, I'm all sorted in defence now
I'm kinda jokin. Some of these lads will know what I mean. Basically, pray you don't get drawn Anto
