@Gio @Theon you're up
@Skizzo tagging you as you're next
You have your last pick before the final, so think it through, although you probably planned it already

Didn't expect that, but I actually really like the look of that pick Skizzo.
I would have loved to have picked Dzajic in this draft. Mentioned it a couple of times in PM, but had he been available I thought it would have been interesting to move Blokhin central and play Dzajic-Blokhin-Stoichkov in a front three - not as orthodox or obvious as Puskas-Kocsis, but the pace and directness of those three would have been incredible and it would have made for an interesting (and slightly different) side.

Bit of a gamble at this stage obviously, but think we needed a bit of a shuffle since you guys have (as always) crafted a strong team, and upgraded as well as you could have along the way.
When's good for you guys to play? I can do tomorrow or Thursday, but then I'm on 12 hour graveyard shifts Friday-sunday, so it would have to be Monday-Wednesday of next week.

Well, that's it. Choose the date that suits you and let's get it over with
@Skizzo @Annahnomoss @Gio @Theon
Interesting picks for both teams. I'm very intrigued about how Gio/Theon will line up with Puskas here and Skizzo with Dzajic/Nedved/Boniek, although it's easier to predict.
I'm genuinely surprised you find it intriguing, leaving space for Puskas behind a #9 was always the plan given our position in the draft (at the end of the snake, so liable to pick 1st in reinforcements). He'll obviously play as a second striker behind Kocsis.
Instead of Sekularac and no playmaker? Great attack but will be interesting to see your midfield and defence.
It's not really about Puskas himself (it's obvious that he'll play next to Kocsis, reuniting one of the most prolific partnerships in history), but about the choice of your wide players considering the change in the attacking personnel.
Indeed, bleeding obvious.
Tsk, tsk, don't play out the game on the draft thread.
Ah, well yeah you have more of a point there - I can see what you're getting at to an extent. It's clearly in a different realm compatibility wise to the offensive line up in the the last game IMO and I don't see any real problems, particularly with Stoichkov. And the same with Blokhin in truth. I don't think the shape of the team changes that much, Puskas dropped deep regularly to pick up the ball (as most forwards did in that era).
Sekularac was a playmaker
we've just had a whole thread of people saying he can't pass.I meant passing on a lot of top notch #10 options or Bozsik/Masopust when I saw you guys going for Puskas. But of course passing on Puskas in this draft is impossible task, being the best player in the draft.Sekularac was a playmaker
I'm glad about those two picks.. was worried we wouldn't see Puskas in the final and Dzajic definitely deserves to there too. Looking forward to this now, should be a cracker.
How about Monday then? Would that be okay @harms ?
Tuesday would be better if that works for you? I work 4pm Sunday to 6am Monday, and then I'd probably pass out for a while and miss the match
I'm okay with either, tag me when you decide
