im finished as long as no one outbids in my current bids.I think these are the ones still looking for players.
Not yet and, in any case, you can't announce the draw until it's over. It's precisely after player 11 that you may want to look at tactical variations, let alone if you knew who you were facing!What/Who are we waiting for? Everyone has minimum 11, I see.
Dont be running larsson down because he played in scottish league.. he played for barcelona was fantastic, his few games with us he was very good rooney said he best strike partner hes had at one stage. And on international stage larsson scored for fun too..Just looked at the rosters and outstanding bids. Is it me or @Stobzilla is like a kid in a candy shop?

May I suggest a fourth Peruvian winger? Or his partner in crime who has been horrendously overlooked here? Top scorer in the Copa Libertadores' history apparently counts for nothing if you just happen to be born in Ecuador. No, let's pick Henrik Larsson instead because, you know, the Scottish Premier League is in Europe and the Libertadores isn't. Yes, great strikers around, no constraints and most looking at playing with just one, but he still improves at least three if not five of the teams out there.
There are much better strikers still out there that are 100 times better than Larsson though...Dont be running larsson down because he played in scottish league.. he played for barcelona was fantastic, his few games with us he was very good rooney said he best strike partner hes had at one stage.

Wouldnt say 100 times. Still a quality quality striker. I picked players I am familiar with as well to make it easier to debate and fit them into certain systems.There are much better strikers still out there that are 100 times better than Larsson though...
I figured that was the case, but there's absolutely no doubt there are better players available who can do everything he did and fit into the systems he would, and do it better. I've strongly considered Larsson in other drafts and do rate him, but he doesn't really belong here. I would get it if it were a budget thing, but truckloads of football greats are going for 10M a pop.Wouldnt say 100 times. Still a quality quality striker.

There were a few strikers I had in mind but if I was to bid on them a war starts.. I just wanted a decent striker who could play in a two if necessary..I figured that was the case, but there's absolutely no doubt there are better players available who can do everything he did and fit into the systems he would, and do it better.

im just curious how will you debate about DuncanWouldnt say 100 times. Still a quality quality striker. I picked players I am familiar with as well to make it easier to debate and fit them into certain systems.
There are all sorts of ridiculous inclusions, not at striker though, which is what I was referring to there. Still, it's 3-5 teams I said could do better with XXXX, not just one.im just curious how will you debate about Duncan
As for Larsson, he is fine....you could probably do better but as you say, you are familiar with him so its a logic choice. Not sure why are they picking on you as there are few players who are much worse then Larsson and nobody said a word

Just make it up man.All these great write ups...then I'll come in.
"Yeah Gullit, he was a bit of alright".
The squad returned home heroes; but in Argentina, there was much tooth gnashing at the Celestes’ accomplishments. A home-and-away, unofficial South American championship was organized to settle matters. After a 1-1 tie in Montevideo, the Buenos Aires match was marred by fans throwing stones at Andrade. Down 2-1, the Uruguayans started throwing the stones back. Police stormed the field. Scarone kicked an officer and got arrested—the rest of the team abandoned the game and the Argentines declared themselves the victors. Typical.L'Equipe Editor Gabriel Hanot said:The Uruguayans are supple disciples of the spirit of fitness rather than geometry. They have pushed towards perfection the art of the feint and swerve and the dodge but they also know how to play directly and quickly. They are not only ball jugglers. They created a beautiful soccer, elegant but at the same time varied, rapid, powerful, effective. Before these fine athletes, who are to the English professionals like Arab thoroughbreds next to farm horses, the Swiss were disconcerted.
You think that's nuts? Brazil's most famous actor made a short film about a Brazilian inventing a time machine and obviously choosing to go back to 16 July 1950 to invade the pitch and tackle Ghiggia, thus stopping him from scoring and breaking the heart of his 9-year old self.An anecdote from Ghiggia I remembered whilst on the subject of Maracanazo:
Spring 2000. While he travels to Brazil, Alcides Ghiggia present his passport in Rio de Janeiro airport. Facing him, a young woman of twenty years. She looks at the paper, staring at his interlocutor. "There is a problem," he asks? "Are you THE Ghiggia?" Questioned the girl. "Yes, it's me, he said, surprised. But 1950 was there a long time." Then, hand on chest, she launched her: "In Brazil, we feel in our hearts every day."
Nuts!
This is always one of my favourite parts of the drafting. ...The mentions of those forgotten or overlooked.Strange to register some of the omissions here. There had to be omissions, don't get me wrong, there are a lot of great footballers out there in that all-time pool and 12 X 16 or thereabouts ain't all that many.
But given what people have actually picked up, there are some names which I just can't fathom nobody has been keen on.
One in particular who struck me earlier today – I was sure I had simply missed him, glancing over the rosters...but no. He ain't there.
Another one too – easy as hell to sell on here of all places, and undoubtedly better in every respect than several players who have been picked in his position.
And then there's...feckin' hell, that's just...insane...
