Manager draft
- Thread starter Annahnomoss
- Start date
Yep, I didn't want to post it beforehand, but chickened out a bit. Was saving it for laterI imagine we are going to see a certain Baggio clip again
"There will be 2 reinforcements per round after R1 till finals."
So 2 picks.
So 2 picks.
Interesting choice of picture, Matthäus in a crashed car

He wasn't a very bright guy, was he?
Exactly my thoughts at the time, looked like something you were keeping up your sleeveYep, I didn't want to post it beforehand, but chickened out a bit. Was saving it for later
See? That's why no manager should be given an easy ride!Why only 1 pick? Should be two here too!
2 picks.
The final piece in the Dutch jigsaw falls into place.
@harms your pick again
Pfff, the World Cup is tiny. I hear Gullit needed the big ears
He wasn't a very bright guy, was he?
A bit too much tbh, not just in this draft. Two upgrades between the semi and final, from the semi elimination pool no less, could completely transform any side, which is at the detriment of having drafted and planned upgrades well.
Oh, I thought that there would be only 1 pick before the final. Need a few minutes then, though it's not like there is a choice for me

You could always take a leaf out of Gio's book here, for the romance of playing him upfront, not that it would wind up being an upgrade...
Edit: Awesome brainfart that, getting Rivera and Riva mixed up.

Look, who's readying for the battle
Let's try and do this tomorrow, shall we? I don't have much time, but I don't know when I would have a next free day anyway.
I would have picked Brehme over Kohler. You could have tried Brehme as a right back if you needed more attacking threat. But, I can see why you wanteed Kohler.
This draft has moved well lads. Has kept the interest up as a result. Good work
Yeah, it has been a really high pace draft. I've not done anything to push it on either, so it has just been down to luck.
That's a great shout actually. I thought about Brehme and concluded Kohler made more sense than trying to upgrade Cabrini there, yet on the right... That said, 3-5-2 would have made for an incredibly tedious final with both sides waiting for the other to attack. Unless EAP went for that 3-2-5 he was sporting earlier
I knew that had potentialUnless EAP went for that 3-2-5 he was sporting earlier
I thought Kohler was a no-brainer, just for his physical presence and a bit more height. Scirea was a surprisingly good header for his height, but still, I always thought it was a bit of a weak spot until Brio became a regular starter, who simply added height. It is quite useful when you have to defend three huge Dutch players inside the box. If not in open play, at least at set-pieces.
I thought that was the point in Matthäus?
TBH, I hadn't been keeping an eye on potential upgrades and tactical switches. The only real eye-sore in both finalists was Casillas for EAP, it's not just you needed an Italian there but also Casillas being more a shot-stopper and crap at crosses, which Batistuta would have tried to exploit. In fact, would have been really funny if harms got him just to screw around with EAP, he was probably the only contested pick out there!
Poor EAP's Dream Team really didn't go down too well!??? I don't get it, in what way does Matthäus help to add height? It's the one thing that Rijkaard definitely has on him, in abundance actually.
He confused him with Arnie again
Or rather the robot - or cyborg - or whatever he is. The actual Arnie is a midget, ain't he? Or is that Stallone? Maybe both.
Whos running the next draft, the english one. You or @crappycraperson ?
Aye, Brehme on the right was part of our masterplan.That's a great shout actually. I thought about Brehme and concluded Kohler made more sense than trying to upgrade Cabrini there, yet on the right... That said, 3-5-2 would have made for an incredibly tedious final with both sides waiting for the other to attack. Unless EAP went for that 3-2-5 he was sporting earlier
Give us a preview in the discussion thread.
Crappy runs the next draft! He was supposed to run this one but let one pass to run the next.
You should be concentrating on winning this one
Actually, this is less pressure now. I got my tactics ready and some counters to what harms may attempt, but overall nothing else till match starts tomorrow.With my usual disregard for reality and/or plausibility, I predict harms lineup to be...
I think that I'd rather have Zoff in goal
