That's my third pick I plumped for when you took Giacinto (VP at Inter).

Facchetti-Zanetti

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Tbh it was lucky my pick went through, I based my choice on the fact he played with Henry, who wasnt praths last pick.

My bad then. I've updated the OP with clarity to the clarifications.

 

[RedTiger]

@Edgar Allan Pillow can we get this thread marked please

So our pick has to come from that list?

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

Well I do pick a player for you next round, so I think its pretty obvious that its all @2mufc0 fault .

Speaking of which any preference on the position or style etc ?

Blame @Tuppet I actually agree with the way you interpreted the box because I did it the same way!

You both make valid points. I won't use the 5th Ace in revenge.

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

That's my third pick I plumped for when you took Giacinto (VP at Inter).

Facchetti-Zanetti

yeah

and at least I get to pick my Default player for Pat so I can add a player to Pat's side that won't hurt me but will hurt others

 

[2mufc0]

So our pick has to come from that list?

No, all those players are blocked lol

 

[harms]

So our pick has to come from that list?

No, it has to be a player not mentioned on that list

 

[2mufc0]

This is the third time I'll be picking from the default rule.

 

[Skizzo]

If it's sober and attentive your after you might have a long wait ahead . What position are you after?

Probably a good DM somewhat in the DLP mold if possible. Like that Pirlo pick you stole

@Skizzo I'd like a balanced right back who's defensively adept, please and thank you.

@2mufc0 I'll see what I can conjure up for you.

Noted

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

@Tuppet

CB please

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

This is the third time I'll be picking from the default rule.

Strong team still. Davids, Falcao, Thuram, Zlatan. Amazing.

@P-Nut0712

Gabriel Heinze, he was rather pacey IIRC as he was a LB and CB for PSG

Carvajal - Multiple CL winner.

@harms

 

[Enigma_87]

Sorry @harms. It's @P-Nut0712 turn.

He already picked Carvajal for harms.

Pretty good one as well IMO.

 

[Ecstatic]

Not the quality I was hoping for but no worries.

Sorry. I had better preferences but they aren't viewed as pacey.

He can play as a LB. I thought you did like aggressive players like him

 

[Šjor Bepo]

@P-Nut0712 got fecked or @harms got lucky.

 

[P-Nut]

@P-Nut0712 got fecked or @harms got lucky.

I'm kind that's all

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

@P-Nut0712 got fecked or @harms got lucky.

Neither. Both are good picks.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

I'm kind that's all

Hope are kind when I match you against harms in R1

 

[P-Nut]

Hope are kind when I match you against harms in R1

I don't mind. Whilst a good pick he's still a level below what's expected in this draft as most will be this round.

Also Heinze fits with the formation I wanna play really.

 

[2mufc0]

What's wrong with Gabi Heinze? Obviously not goat tier but given the pool he's a good player.

 

[RedTiger]

@P-Nut0712

Oh... We're picking decent players then

 

[ctp]

That was a bit premature @oneniltothearsenal, we need our player first

 

[Šjor Bepo]

What's wrong with Gabi Heinze? Obviously not goat tier but given the pool he's a good player.

tbh i never rated him so maybe its personal but the gap between him and Carvajal is pretty big as Carvajal is world-class right now or at least pretty damn close, level then Heinze was never even close.

oops my bad, I didn't know if we had to go in order , Im having an impatient day haha

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

It;s ok. I'll let that stand...unless harms/Tuppet want to pick him too.

Yeah I rate carvajal. Heinze can be good in the right system though.

@Tuppet @Edgar Allan Pillow

Alexander Chivadze. Amazing player, Soviet footballer of the year in 1980, won Cup Winners Cup in 1981;

That Dynamo Tbilisi side was fantastic - and had some memorable performances, for example destroying Liverpool with Dalglish, Hansen, Souness and co 3:0 in 1979 (Chivadze also scored)

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

world-class right now

Used way too often.

 

[Ecstatic]

tbh i never rated him so maybe its personal but the gap between him and Carvajal is pretty big as Carvajal is world-class right now or at least pretty damn close, level then Heinze was never even close.

Heinze: 72 caps for Argentina
Carvajal: 12 caps for Spain

 

[Ecstatic]

Used way too often.

Indeed

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Used way too often.

agreed, thats why i added the second part.

 

[oneniltothearsenal]

Heinze: 72 caps for Argentina
Carvajal: 12 caps for Spain

Thanks mate, not that I like the cnut at all, but he'll do.

Explanation: since there's no other shadow manager and I'm unlikely to need the same as RT the idea agreed with EAP was I'd get the first outside CB put forward.

 

[harms]

@Tuppet there were different options but I hope that you're happy with Chivadze, not sure if he'd featured in those drafts before which is a shame. Me and Joga considered him last time. Fantastic defender, but what separated him from the rest was his ball-playing ability - and those driving runs forwards He was Dynamo's top scorer one season, playing as a center back (of course he was on penalties and free kick duties, but still)

I picked him in the 50s draft. TBH, I don't think I sold him very well at all. We certainly didn't make gifs and compilations back then!

From my player profiles (by the time I was in the final, but he was a first draft player):

ALEKSANDR CHIVADZE
A key player and captain of the USSR in their 1980s WC campaigns. Chivadze was strong, determined, efficient and effective. He organised the defence and got the job done without much fanfare, yet managed to be Soviet Player of the Year (a rarity for defenders) while Blokhin was in his pomp. Chivadze will come in as a sweeper if that tactical option is needed.

Legendary fluke win with Chivadze at the heart of the defence

 

[prath92]

@2mufc0 I would like a Defender.
