Ah, Ronaldo and Romario for round 1. My fortune with draws continues :lol:
Was thinking the same thing when i seen the draw :lol:.

But to be fair imo you both have two of the strongest teams in the draft, sucks for you guys to get matched up first but good for the rest of us.

no, we barely had money to finish this as it is so anybody outbidding us we would need to switch targets. Thats why we went with Robbo just after Keano got on the table, we had only 10M to spare so if someone outbid us on Robbo we could bid +10 on Keane.
I could not believe we got Robbo for just 80m and Souness for only 60m. Especially after our first player cost us 200m.

As B2B, surely Schweinsteiger at $50m is the better value? Definitely not a biased opinion.

A never-nude? I thought he just liked cut-offs.

I reckon you and Theon vs Moby could be the roughest draw of all. Two brilliant teams from first glance, who would have been favourites against most of the others

How do we present our line up?
Sharemytactics.com is preferred. But feel free to use customized versions, if you like it.

Edgar, I'm not sure how this work. Any example for this type of match thread? Thanks.
Nothing special. Just focus on tactics. If you want to highlight a players ability, go ahead, just avoid full profiles. And avoid profiles for common players.

You can add videos and gifs within spoilers in thread anyway.

And how exactly would that work? It is the auction format setting the prices.
We could assign players a set value (assume same values as this draft) and then say you have $1bn to work with. You can choose players from the list as long as you are within your budget. There won't be bidding on players as you have in an auction draft

Any of the old ones?

PMs had a character limit so that limited the write up. Player profiles were hyperlinked. Obviously "no pictures or GIFs" doesn't include the teamsheet.

About feckin' time we stopped torturing people with neverending ops and focused them on gameplans.
