Yeah agreed.

. Now where's that funny footballer names thread, that was a blast.Sorry lads made a balls on this one, is what it is. Ye can continue with picking until we get an overall consensus
Im on board with letting you pick again.
Think @Physiocrat should probably make the final call as the draft host but it's unlikely that anyone is going to be against you picking again.
@BorisDeLeFora Pick again. That's just a silly error. The pick rule is to stop chopping and changing after you think you should have gone with someone else, not picking 12 year olds - this isn't the 1970s TV Presenters Draft!
My picks are with Synco
Well, no, 21 and with a full season under his belt playing professionally for Groningen. Nevertheless...
I don't think he's considered a player with 3 years experience, yet. So he should be ineligible and you can re-pick. Maybe.
Now we just have to wait for @Edgar Allan Pillow to respond with his own mistake and make a late push for his brain fart of the draft award.

@Himannv
I was referring more to him at Chelsea/Madrid.
Yes, as far as peak is concerned you don't fully catch it, but there's enough there, certainly in his Bayern role/form which I assume is the idea. You just water it down a bit, e.g. his 2014 WC was better, immense, but 2010 was still top billing.
What I'm not keen on at all is taking a single season and extrapolating it to three and an eventual peak. Some cases you can clearly point out: "look, this is the player and form I'm going for", others leave a lot to the imagination and are as solid a case as that of single season wonders we can all think about.
I think it's too obvious a mistake, not like whoever it was that picked... can't remember now (may be unpicked, dunno) but someone once picked, got terrible feedback, and then said he actually meant someone really obscure but named the same and who played in a different less critical position.
It's doing my head in, anyone remember that?
It's funny, I had convinced myself of a perfect CB partnership for what I'm trying to do and the other guy has less that 50 appearances in the period, completely forgot about the 2012 cut off, and if no one had mentioned anything I would have submitted him to someone, went back to sleep, woke up tomorrow without a hangover and had some shock.
Same
Has his work cut out, but would never underestimate Pillow. His trophy room puts Messi's to shame.
I'm trying to remember as well... Adriano?
I'm also pretty sure that Edgar also picked Gilmar in one of the criteria drafts without realising that it was some sub-par random Brazilian and not a historically great keeper. Maybe it wasn't Edgar (and it's possible that it wasn't Gilmar), but something like that surely happened
That's the one, he switched to the Barça no-mark squad fullback
Goes to show how picky people were with 3-year peaks actually lasting that long.

Great find
Dude!
Aptly named "Transfer Muppet Fantasy Draft"Great find
Remember the Gilmar incident as well @harms
Pretty sure it was Gilmar, definitely a keeper.
There's been a few of those. Good thing this is now in its own forum, less traffic but no more teamsheets with the wrong Baresi or Maldini racking up the votes.

Yeah, absolutely at Madrid and Chelsea. I mean it was always a problem for him and definitely impacted his reputation at the time, but as he’s aged and his body of work has become deeper I’d say there’s a more sympathetic / forgiving view established itself to his injury problems. Overall I do think the injury record has impacted his legacy.
In terms of the period for this draft it’s be his first three seasons at Bayern. For me that 09/10 season was probably Robben’s best in his career. Absolutely tore us apart at Old Trafford. Hard to define a clear peak. The treble season wasn’t his best (though had a sensational end to the season) and has a similar difficult period when Guardiola joined the club from what I remember. The 2010 World Cup is a good example of those bitty injuries which have caused him problems over the years, remember him missing the start of the tournament and I don’t think he played any of the group games. Then had a fantastic run in the knockouts after returning, including a belter in his first game back, and then the winner in the semis against Uruguay. Was the best Dutch player in the final (should have scored though). I’d say 2014 was better overall but would have been different had he played the group games.
Should have scored, yeah, if you are going to knock me out at least win the bloody thing.
Also, Panini seem to agree:
Should have gone for him earlier. Almost too perfect for your team
May as well address the Matthaus thing now as I knew it was coming up, he will be his older self so no all action box to box, as you could probably guess from having Vieira drafted before him. Also, probably won't be playing as a libero as I'm more focused on the qualities he can bring rather than the position he brought them in. How that will go down is up to you lot, but he seems ideal for what I want.
synco and beam with my pick
i once mistakenly picked Rummenigge as 2nd pick, and someone found out it's actually the (average) younger brother. No mercy/fecked was given, and carried that legacy to the end.
Pick is with Bonito and Synco
Think it's @Physiocrat turn already. @Synco
That must have been different though. If it's a sheep draft and it's the result of your research for a question you only have yourself to blame. If you choose sheep in a sheep draft you will get plenty. Pretty sure the Gilmar story was a similar situation, one of those were you had to choose opposing players in a game or something.
@Physiocrat it has been your turn for an hour now
Sol Campbell
Sorry for the delay folks. Had the PM to Synco typed out but slept before I sent it in.
Happy to trade him for Dunga!
Sorry to break it to you but Sol Campbell is the new VVD.
13. Boris 1) G. Batistuta 2) P. Nedved 3) X. Alonso 4) M Rui Costa 5) S Campbell
If there ever was a player who fits the draft timeline perfectly, it's Sol
Indeed, if he were white he would have captained England between 1992 and 2012.If there ever was a player who fits the draft timeline perfectly, it's Sol
