@2mufc0 I may bid again
Man, for a second I thought you were planning to play him as the LCB before I noticed you sold Carlos.
That would have won my vote instantly.

@Synco - When do you want to play?
Monday to Wednesday would all be fine. Anything in there for you?
@2mufc0 out of interest which players were in the packs?
Wondering if there was anything to read in the name change this time around.

Correction, sorry: would be best for me to do it Tuesday or Wednesday. But if that doesn't work for you, I can still see what I can do otherwise.

Tuesday / Wednesday sounds fine.
Cool, then let's aim to start on Tuesday.
DF pack 1. Beckenbauer 2. Nesta 3. Zanetti
MF pack 1. Matthäus 2. Schweinsteiger 3. Xavi
AM pack 1. Platini 2. Maradona 3. Charlton
FW pack 1. R9 2. MvB 3. Rummenigge
Call it a bluff if you like.
NiceGio and I have sent in earlier today, so it depends on when 2mufc has time to set it up.
Sorry for the delay will start in about 1 hour.
Unless someone else can start it earlier.
It's fine, we both have time for the discussion tomorrow.
With the final over: it was a great draft to play @2mufc0
I thought the pack idea was brilliant, even though I can see why not everybody felt that way. (Would have maybe excluded the tier 1 GOATs from later RRs, but that's just a matter of taste.)

Team of the Tournament & Awards
Team of the Tournament
Golden Ball
Synco's talisman was in scintillating form playing in various roles throughout the tournament, he finally walks away with the individual and team trophy.
Silver Ball
Underrated magician in drafts unable to get the overall win but was a mainstay in one of the best teams of the tournament, pulling the strings for Gio and feeding the hungry Muller.
Golden Boot
Der bomber living up to his moniker, uncharacteristically Gio's goal machine could not get him over the line in the final.
Silver boot
The United hitman was in demand playing for two teams in every round up to the semis.
Best defender
Was a tough choice between him and Sammer but Voronin walks away with it after winning the final. Mainstay in Synco's defence and asked to play varying roles, a rock at the back.

Before or after you nabbed Rijkaard?
Cheers for the draft @2mufc0 - well run and, even though I'm not always as keen on randomness, I agree with Synco in that I thought the packs added a lot of intrigue and kept things interesting through the reinforcements.
Glad you enjoyed it, I know it wasn't for everyone but wanted to add some excitement and variation to the draft.
Before or after you nabbed Rijkaard?
Seriously though, I just think the Nesta/Matthäus/Romario tier of all-timers is already a damn great boost for any team, especially since they're blocked otherwise. But as I said, it's purely a matter of preference.
Winning Team
Winning Team congratulations Synco
congrats @Synco ! Great team and approach throughout.
