[Moby]

Happy with that.

 

[prath92]

Happy with Telmo Zarra

Not posting full article since it has a few unpicked players. Its here for those interested

Excerpts

He was the Spanish league’s top scorer for three seasons in a row from 1944 to 1947 and his 33 goals in the 1946-47 season equalled the La Liga record set in 1940-41. Zarra then smashed this record in 1950-51 when he plundered an outrageous 38 goals in 30 La Liga games, a record which was not broken until 2010-11 with Ronaldo’s 40.

A broken leg suffered early in the following season sidelined Zarra for the whole campaign before he returned for his final season as La Liga’s top goalscorer, with 24 strikes in 1952-53.

It was fitting that Zarra was to also receive the inaugural and highly-coveted Pichichi award at the end of that season given to the league’s top scorer.

The two most well-known statistics associated with Zarra are his La Liga and Copa del Rey goal records. His league goal record of 251 famously lasted for a staggering 59 years from 1955 to 2014. It was eventually broken by Messi, and Ronaldo moved into second place in 2015 as they continued their personal battle.

Zarra does, however, look set to retain his crown as the record goalscorer in the Copa del Rey with 81 strikes, with Messi and Ronaldo currently on 39 and 21 respectively.

His place within the pantheon of Spanish greats is firmly secured, that is without doubt, signified by the creation of the Zarra trophy in 2006, awarded to the highest Spanish goalscorer in La Liga.

Although Zarra’s profile is not as widely known as contemporaries such as Ferenc Puskás and Alfredo Di Stéfano – two of the first superstars of the game – his goal record outstrips both of them. Zarra was not a figure who courted attention; his miraculous work with Bilbao was performed quietly, which furthered endeared him to the passionate local support.

New criteria?

Round Seven - Edgar’s favourite round

Pick a player who has been photographed nude, in underwear, or shirtless.

It can be a photo shoot, instagram/social media post, or a snap from after/during a game. Pictures of celebrations where shirts were removed DO count. It can NOT be a still image that you’ve captured yourself from a video, or in Edgar’s case, one hiding in a tree across the street of their home.

Deadline will end at 8am GMT Wednesday morning

FFS. Will need to get back from work to be able to search for this one.

 

[harms]

 

[2mufc0]

Yeah can't do this one at work

 

[Enigma_87]

Better go in private mode for this one lads

 

[MJJ]

I like how you guys automatically assume nude, not shirtless.

 

[harms]

Really disappointed with the lack of sheep last round
Some great picks. Bochini (although how well he fits with Ademir is another matter), Johnstone, Kubala (), Fontaine.

Shirtless is bad enough if you google it. Speaking from experience.

Edgar won the round IMO and Moby. Can't believe Fontaine didn't get challenged.

 

[Pat_Mustard]

Very tasty pair of Lisbon Lions there with Johnstone and Lennox @Indnyc , particularly with Kocsis up front. I really like @Ecstatic 's pair of South American playmakers too. Bochini is a particular favourite of mine.

 

[harms]

Edgar won the round IMO

Nah, I won't trade my pair for his. Especially since Hansen was very high on my list.

Thanks. I thought 2 other playmakers/forwards would have been picked by 2-3-4 guys.

Those who picked a goalkeeper in this round were in a much more comfortable position.

 

[Jim Beam]

Who the feck are those people in my team?

 

[harms]

Can someone put C. Alberto instead of C. A. Torres in the list? No one searches for him as for Torres.

Edit: never mind, fixed.

 

[Himannv]

So if we have a sheep, he needs to feature in the team for round 1. What's the rule for subsequent rounds?

 

[MJJ]

I did that, searched for alberto was like he hasnt been picked nice. Decided to search for torres just in case, otherwise

 

[Deleted member 101472]

Block submitted for prath

 

[harms]

I did that, searched for alberto was like he hasnt been picked nice. Decided to search for torres just in case, otherwise

I was scrolling through the list and noticed that — we’ve already had similar problems with him in one of the previous drafts.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Happy with Platini-Signori pairing.

 

[Enigma_87]

Nah, I won't trade my pair for his. Especially since Hansen was very high on my list.

I meant Signori. Granted I might rate him lot more than most but his pairing with Platini up top is really good and it's good to see him in more pivotal role up top in all time draft.

 

[Moby]

Cheers, yea very happy with Fontaine playing ahead of Zico.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Nice pairings, specially Platini and Signori but they all have nothing on Franklin and Boumsong.

 

[green_smiley]

So if we have a sheep, he needs to feature in the team for round 1. What's the rule for subsequent rounds?

If you have one sheep, you have to play it. So everyone with sheep will play at least one regardless of how many they have. Beyond that, if you have enough “non-sheep” to fill your starting 11 with, then you can bench as many sheep as you want.

 

[Himannv]

Thanks. Follow up question: How many players will we be drafting per team before the first round of matchups start?

Just asking so that I can work out a structure for my team.

 

[MJJ]

I know the nunber would be low but how many have sent

 

[green_smiley]

Thanks. Follow up question: How many players will we be drafting per team before the first round of matchups start?

Im leaving the keeper selections open this time for a bit of flexibility and letting the managers strategize. I think with the criteria we have, it’ll be 14 players. There’s a couple of rounds that include multiple picks.

 

[Himannv]

Cheers, thanks for the answers! Sorry for firing in so many questions.
