[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Please arrange matches to finish no later than Friday, 14-July.

 

[Skizzo]

@Oaencha whens good for you mate?

I can do Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday next week.

 

[antohan]

Why is Paul ince ineligible? He did play for Liverpool and united right?

He isn't. I scrolled up and saw P-Nuts previous box. Or for some other reason thought he was in the three leagues box.

 

[mazhar13]

@oneniltothearsenal @ctp

When will you guys be available for our match? I'm thinking next week on Wednesday would work. At least OneNil and I are close enough in terms of time zones.

 

[P-Nut]

Pick a date @NM I'm on this piss tomorrow but could do a mid afternoon start Sunday or anytime after

 

[prath92]

@Chesterlestreet when do you want the match?

@oneniltothearsenal @ctp

Any day this week is equally bad for me so whatever is best for @ctp

 

[Ecstatic]

@harms


Tomorrow or Friday?

Good to play against you for the 1st time.

My OP will be shorter than usual.

Your starting 11 seems obvious. Great players and certainly a flawless tactical system to be expected.

I can't and don't want to won't criticize your team but please feel free to say anything about my team

Good luck!

Definitely not tomorrow, so let's do it Friday. Good luck to you too, haven't looked to close at your team but from the first glance it looks great. I'm not sure about my first 11 myself though (albeit only in 1 position)

harms vs Ecstatic 14th Friday
@Edgar Allan Pillow

 

[Oaencha]

@Oaencha whens good for you mate?

I can do Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday next week.

I am working each day so it makes no big difference; probably Wednesday so I have some time to prepare. Sound okay?

 

[Pat_Mustard]

Tuppet vs Pat_Mustard

Damn you Edgar . Maybe you should do the random injury round after all.

@Tuppet I can play whenever you want mate. Something tells me a lengthy write up is going to be a waste of time so let me know when you fancy playing it and I'll knock something up

 

[Chesterlestreet]

@Chesterlestreet when do you want the match?

Anytime next week is fine, though I'd prefer not to play on Monday.

 

[Skizzo]

I am working each day so it makes no big difference; probably Wednesday so I have some time to prepare. Sound okay?

Works for me. Wednesday it is.

 

[Moby]

@2mufc0 when?

 

[2mufc0]

@2mufc0 when?

Any day during the week is fine mate. Whenever you are ready.

 

[Moby]

Any day during the week is fine mate. Whenever you are ready.

Let's do it on Monday then.

 

[2mufc0]

Let's do it on Monday then.

Sure thing.

 

[Enigma_87]

@RedTiger when do you want to do it mate?

oof, that's a great match coming up. 2 of the favorites from the initial drafting. Tuppet was a bit unlucky with his last two rolls in picking a left back but his side is top notch. Not that your isn't mind, would be a tight game.

 

[NM]

Pick a date @NM I'm on this piss tomorrow but could do a mid afternoon start Sunday or anytime after

I can do any time. Probably the worst day is Monday but I don't really care. The fun part of the draft is over

 

[P-Nut]

Yeah my write up won't be too long so possibly tomorrow afternoon start?

Doesn't work for me that. I'll have to ask someone to knock one up for me when I've decided on my 11

No I mean like the site starts bugging out. Circles moving on their own etc.

None of them work for some reason. I've had this problem for a while now

It might not be the websites at fault here...

Cheers mate. I hadn't actually clocked that his last few picks had left him with a slight chink in his armour at left back. Other than that he's ridiculously strong and I gave myself zero chance of winning.

Nah you have an awesome team yourself, mate. Fantastic flanks in Carlos Alberto and Brehme, whilst also a great core in Gullit, Kopa, Pirri, Netto and Tresor. Will be interesting to see how you will set up tho - plenty of options there.

 

[antohan]

I got that right during the drafting phase. Was sure you'll pick him being one of your favorites and landing on couple of boxes he qualifies for.

Seems my hard on for Enzo-Rossi got the better of me. I just looked back at what would have happened had I not dropped Förster and it certainly looks best. That's of course with Monday's paper, there was no guarantee I would be able to land him later, which is what dropping Förster did.

Subs: Benarrivo, Verratti, Francescoli

 

[Enigma_87]

@antohan aye that looks great. Really not more to ask for. A side with plenty of creativity but also grit and determination.

Never missing. I can lack creativity (particularly relative to multi GOAT #10 teams), but not that.

 

[Moby]

That Davids - Keane midfield would be tough as nails

That Davids - Keane midfield would be tough as nails

And would have more goals

But it sure would be. With Popescu in support, Nedved ahead, Krol and Zanetti either side... My god, that would be beautiful.

A bit too midfield heavy, that team.

 

[antohan]

A bit too midfield heavy, that team.

That's what 3-5-2 delivers. You could also call it a defence heavy 5-3-2 if all of Krol, Zanetti and Popescu focus on defending. The beauty of it is being able to control those two phases fully. You won't be a free-scoring side, that's for sure, but you only need one more goal than your rival and it should deliver that more often than not.

Same applies to Nedved, the point of him there is he can support the midfield, or fully focus on his creative work and combining with Futre to carve up openings. That's why Enzo is on the bench here, not just waiting for R2 but because Nedved will better balance that team and manage the game adopting a more attacking or defensive role masterfully.

 

[Moby]

I don't see a CM there who would control the midfield, a lot of all action stuff but not one who would dictate the tempo, someone like that would have complimented the setup better than another box to box kinda player.

With the ball Popescu performs as a DLP. Not Guardiola/Pirlo levels, but he can ping balls around at ease at Carrick level (or Scirea, if I may, his delta relative to Popescu being defensive but not in this function). You don't need a lot more than that with Zanetti and Krol flying down the flanks and Nedved/Futre taking on the creative onus further up the pitch.
