harms wins the round, with EAP. But the guys who get the likes of Xavi, Iniesta, Scholes, Keane, Robson etc... aren't real losers. Only a couple big losers there (i.e. Anto and Gerrard).
I don't think I'm a loser either. Breitner might not be a vote winner like the other ones, but he is one of the best CMs in history, plus he offers me plenty of playing options with Seedorf.
Plus he can always play LB and be the best one in the draft besides Zanetti maybe.
What do you guys think about the Seedorf-Breitner combo? Do I need to add a playmaker there?

Pirlo is a very nice player, however when I saw Hagi and Senna in your side, "Hmm..." was my first reaction too lol. Could have gone better for you, I think.
Senna was comfortable as a central midfielder and played as much as a CM as a DM. I think the bigger issue was that Pirlo is one of the best deep lying playmakers, so you have to play him in that role and that limits the ways you have to play.

Any team who picked up Pirlo would be in the same situation. I think Senna makes a good box to box runner outside of him as Pirlo isn't too high rated in terms of his defense.

With Senna there, and another runner on the other side of Pirlo as well it will look good.

Yeah. Would have preferred someone more dynamic, though let's see.

Among the 5 that were left at my turn I would have probably had the other 4 ahead of Pirlo.
I'd agree with that, at least there's some underlying coherence in my duds.

You don't need to rub it in. It was already bad enough when I was reminded Breitner also was in that pool of players :(

Personally think it's real shoddy luck you've had so far. But do believe you can turn it around. Your luck is bound to change next round and plus the tevezobola and other issues will have a large impact for sure.

Yeah. Can't believe it really, you've find your evil twin. You pick up all the shit and he picks up all the top picks.
The problem isn't them being shit, it's they would be fine in certain setups so I have to build a team around THEM now and cross my fingers the FWD Interference doesn't leave it in tatters.

It's not that bad. I think Aldo will wishing anyone but Pirlo who causes more headache than Gerrard, I believe.

Again with Tevezobola looming, you have a high probability of losing player whom you don't want anyway (unless your bad luck continues).

Wow, strangely enough Falcao crashed all my plans and now I need to rebuild the side in my head from the start.

Well, right now it's a 66% chance, problem is I now have only two options going forward and they largely depend on what striker I get. My next pick is a fecking nightmare because it also really depends on what sort of striker I get... And if for some reason Tevezbola is kind to me, the damage is done already in that I will be picking players I didn't originally plan for. Worst case someone instrumental/irreplaceable in those setups goes and that's my paddle gone.
