Fantasy Tournament: World Cup All-Time All-Stars
- Thread starter Polaroid
- Start date
After Gio. For feck sake! 
I happily play together with you, no need to change it unless we really don't find someone to take over for NM.But he knows my strategy now
Haha it's cool dude - just messing around bud. Feel free to take on your own squad! Gonna be a learning curve for me anyway, love these drafts though
Thank you Summit and dhm91
Okay, so do we really know that NM can't play?
10 min straw poll is well over, the score is stuck 4-3 in favour of usual
I will change the OP to usual sequence
We will re-generate the draft sequence, sorry dhm91

Okay, I'm off now for about an hour, please let me now, if I play instead of NM or if I assist rpitroda, I'm happy either way
You can keep the same order Pol. I don't think anyone will mind
Let's give him some time - 24 hrs to confirm his participation here, if not we have someone to take over
Anybody keen to join the waiting list?
If Rpitroda is ok, I will have Balu first on the waiting listOkay, I'm off now for about an hour, please let me now, if I play instead of NM or if I assist rpitroda, I'm happy either way
Sounds good.
Will wait another 20 min for a helpful soul to re-generate the draft order
If not, we will use the one by dhm91 and proceed ahead with the draft
Why re-generate the draft order?
Yeah, fine with me. Thought you wanted to start the drafting today. I don't mind to wait.
I'm ok with that bud
Because I inadvertently benefited from switching to usual drafting sequence.
Would prefer to start today. We can proceed with the draft until it is NM's turn. Will give him the full 24 hrs (23 hrs left now). In the meantime, you can plan your pick if you are to take his place?
Great
To be honest, that sucks, because either I'm playing my team or I'm playing together with rpitroda. If we do it that way, I can't talk anything through with rpitroda and might end up doing nothing at all for the first 2 picks.
Of course, if everyone else is on and wants to start, I'm fine with that solution. No need to wait just because of me.
Well I have a suggestion - go aheah without NM and then he can team up with whoever he likes if he comes?
Sounds brilliant to me to start as well.
Will not end up doing nothing for first 2 picks because we will not skip NM's turn - if he does not show up, you take over his place to pick. Effectively you will only not be involved with Rpitroda's first pick.
Alternatively I pencil you in to take NM's place, if NM shows up within the allocated timeframe, I let you take my spot if you do not mind my first pick
It has been 50 min so we will start with the draft order from dhm91
No, nonsense. Keep your spot, start the draft. It was just a first reaction, I already posted I'm fine either way. If NM shows up, I join rpitroda, if not, I play.

feck that, from being a possible AM of mine to picking right before me? feck off! Redo the draft order, now!
Joking.
That took you long
I'm worse off, imo. Everytime I pick, you probably know instantly who I want to pick next and can feck up every great partnership I'm trying to recreate.
No surprises with 1 and 2
I seriously considered pulling a surprise, but thought better of it.
I would have liked to see you pick Messi.
You tell me, I have fecking Gio and Cutch straight after me. Basically at the bottom with no upside, worst place to be. But then, I won the All-Time draft from the same spot. Lucky number 13

I was going to pick Cristiano.
Where the feck is Aldo? He was in here all day!
This is actually looking pretty hard! So many great players who have won the world cup, getting 4 non-winners will be tricky
Really? I'm not too fussed with that at all. What is doing my head in is the continental stuff. Easy enough in principle, but it's a very fine balance. For every position you know who your top 5-6 targets are but always different continents so if you keep finding the "wrong" continent available you would end up tied up in knots.
I already have a rough draft plan and am chomping at the bit.
