David Silva was a top player at his prime but short career peak like Mata
What? You know that he just won City's player of the year award and has been playing on a high level for about a decade now?David Silva was a top player at his prime but short career peak like Mata
Player of the year of a team pretty disappointing this season. GreatWhat? You know that he just won City's player of the year award and has been playing on a high level for about a decade now?
He was fantastic for 6-7 years straight - when he returned from injury and his last season at Valencia and his first 5 seasons at City. He indeed isn't the same player in the last two years, but I wouldn't call that a short peak, far from it.Player of the year of a team pretty disappointing this season. Great
He is no longer an impact player.
You & harms are certainly right. I can't say I'm one of his followersHe was fantastic for 6-7 years straight - when he returned from injury and his last season at Valencia and his first 5 seasons at City.

Yeah got itHave you (and those who submitted their '13th player') received the next rolls?
It works when you are have a bad roll. Cards can't cancel each other.What why ? what good is that card then?
So far works in your favor tho. If you wait till the last round and have your squad done you'll be unaffected.The bugger with my card is that I could feck myself rather severely up to the very last (possible) round: It’s all about the rolls.
If I land on a “drop player” box I obviously want as big a pool as possible to pick the replacement from.
So, the “Chinese” option isn’t really on unless I’m certain I can’t end up having to replace one of my presumed starters with a sheep.
Should probably do some research in that regard (I haven’t bothered to check anything, to be honest - both Pat and Skizzo could be loaded with troublesome characters by now, or not at all).
I won’t, though: I could land on pat/skizz/whatever and lose a crucial player.So far works in your favor tho. If you wait till the last round and have your squad done you'll be unaffected.
You can always sacrifice a player and pick one who ticks most of the boxes and calculate the two(throwing 2-12) you are likely to land in the last round. My take is if you are done drafting you can have advantage over the others by playing it in round 15-16 when you have a complete squad.I won’t, though: I could land on pat/skizz/whatever and lose a crucial player.
Like I said, I don’t know to what extent that is actually a worry, but in theory I’m not safe at all until I have 14 players.
ETA That is, I presume the card will be void if I play it after I'm done drafting myself.
Aye I've mentioned it a while back ago. They have only 3 boxes to worry about.Btw just recently realized that Skizzo and Pat have a big advantage here - having to worry only about each other's squads in a possible drop situation, while we have 2 times more players to worry about.
Yes...that’s true.You can always sacrifice a player and pick one who ticks most of the boxes and calculate the two(throwing 2-12) you are likely to land in the last round. My take is if you are done drafting you can have advantage over the others by playing it in round 15-16 when you have a complete squad.
It's tricky situation with your card, not sure how I'd have played it myself.
There’s that. I could simply not play it.If I had that card, I wouldn't have played it.
You have dropped only one player whilst most have dropped 2 or 3. If you use it after you are done drafting it's a win win for you -affecting others whils getting out completely unscathed.Yes...that’s true.
I could use the next roll to land an expendable player who fits as many criteria as possible/necessary, thus being (relatively) safe for the last roll.
It would be almost purely to feck up others, though - I’d lose any chance of upgrading my existing options. At least if I “go Chinese” and opt for a category that would 100% (or close) guarantee shite options for everyone.
So, it becomes a question of whether you gamble on upgrading your own team - or focusing on playing it as safe as possible with the focus on fecking up others (to whatever degree).
Yeah, not to be too harsh...but I think I can give you a compromise. If you tell me which round you intend to play it, I can give you your roll in advance.There’s that. I could simply not play it.
But ol’ EAP might not like that.
The question is, of course, what he could actually do to punish me for not playing it. Randomly replace my best player with a sheep? Could happen, I suppose.
I can't imagine so myself - that would be a pure bonus for me, which the card ain't supposed to be.Not sure if you can use it when you are finished drafting but I'd imagine so.
Cool.Yeah, not to be too harsh...but I think I can give you a compromise. If you tell me which round you intend to play it, I can give you your roll in advance.
Example:
In R14, you post in here you intend to play it in R15.
After you make your R14 pick, I can give you your roll in advance
You have till end of R14 to choose the restriction
R15 restricted criteria applies to all (incl yourself)
No, it's still four but only one team they have to be mindful of.Aye I've mentioned it a while back ago. They have only 3 boxes to worry about.
That's a ridiculous compromise to pop up with. That turns it into a "screw everyone as bad as you can" card.Yeah, not to be too harsh...but I think I can give you a compromise. If you tell me which round you intend to play it, I can give you your roll in advance.

Agree with this. It's like giving him two cards.That's a ridiculous compromise to pop up with. That turns it into a "screw everyone as bad as you can" card.
My heart bleedsThis was by far the hardest decision I have had to make as there are two world class players I really wanted...
Yeah I meant 3 criterias to watch for which is nice. Even one player can cover that.No, it's still four but only one team they have to be mindful of.
You just gave him literally the best card at the draft, right at the end so he can skrew everybody.Yeah, not to be too harsh...but I think I can give you a compromise. If you tell me which round you intend to play it, I can give you your roll in advance.

Would difinitely suit us and everyone else bar EdgarHow about this compromise: I don't have to play the feckin' card if I don't want to.
I mean, if we're considering a compromise, that would seem like one that would satisfy all concerned - no?
Yeah, first world problems! Seriously though, as good as Raúl is I took a bit of a risk by potentially missing out on the other player.My heart bleeds
I had one covering all four and when I finally land Pat drops Pirlo.Yeah I meant 3 criterias to watch for which is nice. Even one player can cover that.
You made that rule like right now ? It doesn't say anything like that in the description of my (or any other) card. I could have picked players in my previous turns who give me an out from Pat me down box but I did not, believing that I have a card which I'll just use to get out of it on the basis of what you've written on the description of card.It works when you are have a bad roll. Cards can't cancel each other.

Not really different from what Skizzo played. It's just an added restriction.You just gave him literally the best card at the draft, right at the end so he can skrew everybody.
It really is not a rule. Just that people can use prizes without getting them cancelled. You still have lots of options and it's not really screwing you over badly.You made that rule like right now ?

The worst case scenario for everyone else is that I choose a generally shite restriction that would benefit me, specifically. And then, there’s degrees of that. It comes down to the nature of the box. I could probably make sure that I land a better player than anyone else, but I won’t necessarily be able to land a world beater with everyone else ending up sheeped.You just gave him literally the best card at the draft, right at the end so he can skrew everybody.
Nah, that's boring. A reasonable compromise @Edgar Allan Pillow and one that makes it an easier bodyguard option is allowing the inverse. E.g. can't pick Dutch players, instead of can ONLY pick Dutch players.How about this compromise: I don't have to play the feckin' card if I don't want to.
