Cheers! I was actually hoping to get Rui Costa, good pick thereJaysus, that’s a pair of fine attacks @harms and @oneniltothearsenal
Think the rules are if you leave your pick with someone you get 30 mins by defaultCheers bro.
But we would be on 55 mins.
OK@green_smiley could you do the draw once reinforcements end ? Cheers.
Pretty happy in the end with ours.Its funny how people at the top get the best deal out of reinforcements as well in this draft
To be honest, I don't mind my reinforcements as well but would have been better to have more options and less permutations when both the picks are nearby.Pretty happy in the end with ours.
Considering the not so many options inattack and midfield getting both Totti and Maldini was a pretty good deal for us.
Well Edgar getting the other top cbs apart from Thuram and Maldini at picks 8 and 9 speaks volumes.To be honest, I don't mind my reinforcements as well but would have been better to have more options and less permutations when both the picks are nearby.
I am just hoping Ambrosini matches up against Rui Costa again and wins the battle.Well Edgar getting the other top cbs apart from Thuram and Maldini at picks 8 and 9 speaks volumes.
Yeah it was definitely a benefit being towards the top in this reinforcement, some of those double picks are absolutely insane (looking at you onenil / harms). We had to gamble that one of the right backs would make it back but it was always unlikely.Its funny how people at the top get the best deal out of reinforcements as well in this draft
Cheers mate, it was out of him , Del Piero and another unpicked player. But i was saying to Invictus he is the best goal scorer in the pool, his record is crazy in the context, because he didn't win many trophies he gets under rated.
Cheers. I'm pretty happy with them too, as you can imagine!@harms love your reinforcements bud
Aye, proper player. One of my favorites. We couldn't fit him unfortunately having already picked Vialli.Cheers mate, it was out of him , Del Piero and another unpicked player.

BTW you still have a pick to make.
Several hours later...Yeah it was definitely a benefit being towards the top in this reinforcement, some of those double picks are absolutely insane (looking at you onenil / harms). We had to gamble that one of the right backs would make it back but it was always unlikely.
What best deal? You got Rijkaard/ Davids. I had to pick both CBs simply due to lack of a good DM and LW in the pool. I didn't really need an attackers, so had to pass on them.Its funny how people at the top get the best deal out of reinforcements as well in this draft
Nah mate, I meant it was great for this reinforcements round where only 8 managers are involved and there are 16 R1/R2 picks available.What best deal? You got Rijkaard/ Davids. I had to pick both CBs simply due to lack of a good DM and LW in the pool. I didn't really need an attackers, so had to pass on them.
Precisely for the same reason. Shiny names over balance. Rather pick some GOAT even though you have pressing needs elsewhere with some very good R3 options available.Only one CM/DM picked so far from 15 picks.
FWIW, I thought you would go for Albertini and Kohler without thinking twice.I had to pick both CBs simply due to lack of a good DM and LW in the pool.
Id has the ones people want. You don't upgrade twice.Only one CM/DM picked so far from 15 picks.
Managers 11-16 all out. Go figure...At the start of drafting, I agree it didn't make too much of a difference except for the fact that shiny players win you votes no matter who they are surrounded by at times.
Edgar doesn't do midfielders. He once defined his picking strategy as "get all the attacking players in, then some defenders, then find some guys to stuff in the middle".FWIW, I thought you would go for Albertini and Kohler without thinking twice.
Signorini and Kohler is pretty complimentary while making your midfield much more balanced.
Of course, down to personal preferences.
Surely there are more than 4 top midfielders in the draft tho.Id has the ones people want. You don't upgrade twice.
Glad you passed on Totti then...What best deal? You got Rijkaard/ Davids. I had to pick both CBs simply due to lack of a good DM and LW in the pool. I didn't really need an attackers, so had to pass on them.
Not all deserved to go out obviously. Apart from a couple of shiny names, I would credit it to coincidence. From what I remember, I voted for 4-5 of the last 7 teams. Some of the games were very close too.Managers 11-16 all out. Go figure...
Am starting 0-7 down in the QFsId has the ones people want. You don't upgrade twice.
The only coincidence was the draw matching them all to Top 8 teams. Thereafter high turnouts took care of the rest.Not all deserved to go out obviously.

My fault. Had a 4am start, then travel and back-to-back meetings since. Will finish it off shortly.
