[antohan]

Perhaps, but it should've been noted from the off in the OP as we're in round 8 and it probably already could have affected some of the picks in round 7.

It doesn't say no subs either. Nor does it explain how matches are won or lost. Definition of peak is also rarely alluded to unless the theme calls for it. Same for semifinalists not voting in each other's matches.

Everything that changes and becomes customary for a few drafts becomes norm unless otherwise stated.

 

[Šjor Bepo]

Attilio Lombardo

about fecking time, better then half of the players that were picked before him.

About feckin' time. He was the one I said I would shoehorn as CM if he kept getting ignored.

aye, not too fussed just bringing it up now rather than late.

about fecking time, better then half of the players that were picked before him.

About feckin' time. He was the one I said I would shoehorn as CM if he kept getting ignored.

Well we were considering him from couple of rounds, but the LB and forward became bigger priorities as positions. Glad he lasted, great player indeed.

 

[antohan]

about fecking time, better then half of the players that were picked before him.

thought I had double posted. Yet, there was @green_smiley suggesting him as a bald sheep and the two of us going WTF?, may need some selling but won't be particularly hard.

 

[2mufc0]

No subs allowed.

 

[antohan]

No subs allowed.

I didn't ask that. I asked whether in the OP we could lay out how our subs would/could be used. That avoids any "quick-fixing" but lays out a clearer gameplan (e.g. if I'm ahead X comes on for Y to shut things down, or Z comes on to exploit his pace as we switch to counterattacking, etc).

Also, please clarify whether draws will be settled by GK rating.

Don't see why not.

And yes, I liked the keeper rule last time so we will go for that again.

sorry mate,just realised!

 

[antohan]

No worries mate. Cheers.
Stopped taking your posts seriously anyways after 1974 being Jairzinho's level and Rui Costa ahead of Zidane in whatever context

You clearly aren't one for nuanced discussions I guess. Go ahead and keep rating people on 7 game peaks then.

You will need to get some neutral to draw up a ranking list before hand.

Yeah already got some people in mind. Won't be making the decision myself unless it's completely obvious.

It's not going to be, at all.

Well let's hope we don't have a draw. Don't think it happens that often anyway.

No worries mate. It doesn’t happen that often anyways.

Edit: yeah what you’ve said above.

 

[antohan]

Well let's hope we don't have a draw. Don't think it happens that often anyway.

That's the other reason why it's a better solution. When it was random it meant a lot more people voted to draw the game, be it because they liked penos or thought it was a draw so "voted for one" (through a win vote to the side chasing).

Both are terrible reasons for a vote.

You clearly aren't one for nuanced discussions I guess. Go ahead and keep rating people on 7 game peaks then.

Sure mate. I am gonna rate Rui Costa as the Maradona of this draft after your brilliant insights.

 

[Moby]

Both are terrible reasons for a vote.

Can I just say you are lucky that not everyone here has known your mischievous activities over the years. Antohan lecturing others on why it's terrible to vote for someone to engineer a result.

Had a right chuckle when you of all people had the nerve to pull out posts from a draft that happened 6 years ago. The irony.

 

[Moby]

No worries mate. Cheers.
Stopped taking your posts seriously anyways after 1974 being Jairzinho's level and Rui Costa ahead of Zidane in whatever context

A peak Zidane no less.

 

[idmanager]

A peak Zidane no less.

The best of the lot was Van Bommel should be alright against Maradona.

But the Jairzinho one cracked me the most. I am sure he'd say 2007 was Ronaldinho's level if the opposition had him.

I am hoping Rui Costa having a better decade than Baggio happens too

 

[2mufc0]

Tudor.

@MJJ @Šjor Bepo

Can someone update the list please.

A peak Zidane no less.

Funny. I was making the point Zidane's peak over the decade was short (98-00) while Rui Costa performed consistently at a high level for half the decade.

The essence of it really was the whole discussion about how long a peak is needed and whether being more influential longer carried weight.

Strangely, a few days later you were clamouring for such discussions to be had and telling us all off for discussing trivial matters not in the spirit of the draft.

I guess we are only meant to do so so long as we agree with you.

The best of the lot was Van Bommel should be alright against Maradona.

But the Jairzinho one cracked me the most. I am sure he'd say 2007 was Ronaldinho's level if the opposition had him.

I am hoping Rui Costa having a better decade than Baggio happens too

You realise none of those things you go on about involve a game of mine? They are just opinions, which are the point of discussing these things.

You are also again taking them out of context and reducing them to simple black or white terms. I can't even remember which was the van Bommel game but I'm pretty sure the ingredients were there for a team effort, not van Bommel being some sort of Makelele.

Re: Jairzinho, since you guys are so adept at making compilations, I challenge you to make a Jairzinho compilation excluding the 1970 WC where he looks any better than, say, Leroy Sane.

He had the physical traits of a Valencia with better dribbling. Good player, you would kill for that on our right wing today, but my point really is his peak doesn't belong in the demigod category occupied by the likes of George Best. Rensenbrink or Bruno Conti are more his level (actually better if you ask me, given their tactical adeptness).

Re: Jairzinho, since you guys are so adept at making compilations, I challenge you to make a Jairzinho compilation excluding the 1970 WC where he looks any better than, say, Leroy Sane.

Why should anyone exclude 1970 WC and why should his best year be outside his peak and be 1974?
I don't fecking care if he faded away in 1974, in a draft where the players are treated at their peak, saying 1974 was his level is a lame attempt at misleading and covering the fact that he faced a easy target and route to goal.

You realise none of those things you go on about involve a game of mine?

Aye mate. Your integrity, non-hypocrisy and unbiased opinion seems to be well documented here. My apologies.

Funny. I was making the point Zidane's peak over the decade was short (98-00) while Rui Costa performed consistently at a high level for half the decade.

The essence of it really was the whole discussion about how long a peak is needed and whether being more influential longer carried weight.

Ah, this again. Fecking Rui Costa of all players. The genius who can't make it in most all time drafts suddenly becomes more impactful than close to peak Zidane just because he plays a couple more seasons
