Wow Smiley added Stoichkov. That's going to be one of the my favorite non-GOAT, no Brazilian front fours of all time
Sure mate
Certainly agree on Giresse. He was right up at the top of my non-starred AM list, with the added bonus of being able to play alongside a thoroughbred no10 should the need arise.Not very relevant at this stage, but I'm a bit surprised that the likes of Keizer (among the very best wingers in this pool, particularly beyond starred ones — with a peak of 5/9th in the Ballon d'Or) and Giresse (ceaselessly dynamic and versatile with Ballon d'Or runner-up credentials) weren't picked over 12 rounds in the initial selection. Especially considering both of them are clean fits in most situations with a proven record of excelling at the highest stage, and a wee bit better than some of the other players selected in similar-ish positions or roles. Then again, maybe I'm overestimating them because both were on Team @Jim Beam's shortlist (as was Bene: probably deserved a look in, too — 500+ career goals, positionally malleable, EURO 1964 top scorer, 1964 Olympics top scorer).
So please send me a PM with the following:R3 Final reinforcement round:
Before the round:
1. Choose one Star player from your squad, that player is protected
2. Choose one Star player from your opponent's squad without protection, that player gets dropped and is available for picking straight away
During the round:
3. Draft 1 Reserve player and 1 Star player in snake style, the Star player can't be from the same pool as the player that has been dropped. This means if a Star Defender has been dropped from your squad, you cannot pick another Star Defender.
The second player on the drop list is the back up in case of your first choice being protected.Protect (own star player):
XXX
DROP (opponent's star player):
1. XXX
2. XXX
Yes, still limited to 3 star players in the starting line-up, 4 with a young player.@Don Alfredo just to clarify are we still limited to 3 star players in our starting lineup for the final ( or 4 with a young player in the team)? We may take a fairly long time submitting here as we haven't discussed this reinforcement round at all.
Ok, cheers mateYes still limited to 3 star players in the starting line-up, 4 with a young player.

@Don Alfredo I'll get my picks over today and can get the game played whenever suits Pat and Sjor.
Not sure if I'll be sober enough to do a write up for tomorrow but I'll try if Gio is ready and Sjor is happy with tomorrow. If not then Monday would be good.@Gio That sounds great, let‘s wrap up the reinforcements today and have the match tomorrow @Šjor Bepo @Pat_Mustard
Yeah, Monday fine with me too.Not sure if I'll be sober enough to do a write up for tomorrow but I'll try if Gio is ready and Sjor is happy with tomorrow. If not then Monday would be good.
