is jake not going to use a substitution to turn it around?
I know you are joking, just winding up Snow and Cutch. Doubt they care, but anything is fair cop to keep this active.Come now, anto, you know the scars from my first time ensure I'm just and fair about any voting henceforth.
Donaldo, you mentalist... Snow and Cutch are going to be really sore about this sort of voting handing Messi on a plate to their first round nemesis.
It could be worse, he could pick their very own Ashley Cole... That would be good WUMming.
Of course! You jammy feck... Some serious quality coming your way soon.I'm not even sure if I want Messi!
Also, I'd be shooting myself in the foot if I picked Cole first, Maldinis available!!

I expected him to go through, absolutely. No idea what he was thinking swapping Robinho and Ljungberg, he also depicted Cantona and Messi too far up and in no man's land (yes, I do think aesthetics have an impact somehow).Woah, have to say I wasn't expecting much from this game given the star power of Messi and Cantona but great result this. Even most of the other managers predicted Jake comfortably going through in the main thread, so surely this is a bit surprising!
I had completely forgotten about Ronaldinho! He would be awesome in your side. Out of him and Zidane I would take him as he grants you a lot more flexibility.
I think NM would take Messi if he gets past theon, in a way I wouldn't mind because it takes away the 'hassle' of fitting him and I could get either Ronaldinho or Zidane who could slot in a lot easier. Either way, I got good options but that said I think everyone will be able to significantly improve.
I've always said the best place is somehwere around the middle. 5th in 8 team drafts and 7th-10th in 16 team ones.Do thegame and Jake go to show that it's not always best to pick first, or did they go wrong somewhere? Even looking at kp88s team, he has a hard game vs isotope that will be hard to call..
I don't mean to bring back my match in this thread but how can you say Zidane is not better in his area than Deco for example? I could point out others but I'm not going to start going into my match again.It wasn't unclear, you just interpret things differently to me. Was there anywhere on the pitch where The Game would prevail over the oppo? No, not really. Comparing Shevchenko to van Persie was completely irrelevant as neither of them have much bearing over how likely they were to score.
Yeah, you do get some random picks happen in the second drafting process, people completely changing thier team to try and fit in thier favourite player. First round games are nearly done so I'll probably have a go at predicting how the picks will go a bit later and make my decision based on that, but it's bound to go wrong!I had completely forgotten about Ronaldinho! He would be awesome in your side. Out of him and Zidane I would take him as he grants you a lot more flexibility.
Agree most teams will improve dramatically and it doesn't make a huge difference you picking first as effectively every side that has gone out has first and second round picks which could be a real shot up the arm to anyone. Those who were closest to the top may get the poorer 1st picks but they get two picks close together.
I loved getting Beckenbauer in the All-time one, he slotted in perfectly in Effenberg's slot, but I had to watch on hoping Ronaldo would slip, or at least Romario... seeing as everyone seemed to have key Brazilians already. Nope

They should have picked Ronaldo as well, but I've said that before. The game probably also went wrong in the defensive trio. Not Jake, who was unlucky to have a good defence facing possibly the worst striker they could come across given relative strengths/weaknesses.
Nah i don't care what happens from here on in, its great being impartialDonaldo, you mentalist... Snow and Cutch are going to be really sore about this sort of voting handing Messi on a plate to their first round nemesis.

I know man, just trying to keep discussion fronts open so that it isn't just me bumping the thread for people to come and voteNah i don't care what happens from here on in, its great being impartial
Zidane is a better player than Deco obviously but, as I said, I don't go around comparing like-for-like (e.g. who has the better RB? who cares? the relevance is a result of who they face on their respective flanks).I don't mean to bring back my match in this thread but how can you say Zidane is not better in his area than Deco for example?

Must be Zidane or Ronaldinho?In the all time draft, people who were in the top half won in round 1.. It is about team construction. Also, I have a different name (Not Messi) that I want in case I win, but might take him as he is a vote getter. Theon should 100% take him if he wins though. Messi and Iniesta will win him the draft.
I am considering Ronnie. A Ronnie and Figo wing combo would be jizzworthy IMO. Add another top CM and I think I'd go far.. But that depends. Theon has a top team too.Must be Zidane or Ronaldinho?

Messi, Figo wouldn't be bad either!
But yeah, you've got a difficult game to get through first. Feeling confident?
You just lost Fergus' vote right thereI am considering Ronnie. A Ronnie and Figo wing combo would be jizzworthy IMO. Add another top CM and I think I'd go far.. But that depends. Theon has a top team too.
WhyYou just lost Fergus' vote right there
Kidding
He wants Ronnie!
You are doing a good job of getting everyone worried about Theon once he nabs Messi
I will still probably take Messi. Is it illegal to buy Fergus' vote by ensuring a certain player will fall to him
