SF matchup
- Pat Mustard/Sjor Bepo vs. OneNil
- Tuppet vs, Joga Bonito/Gio
Chapuisat had better stats I expected: 102 goals in 218 games with Dortmund
That should mean one of Bonucci or Ayala (one of your starting centre-backs) should be injured right? Meaning, you won't be able to pick Thiago without cover for your centre-backs, unless you play Abidal as a centre-back with one of your FBs coming in, which isn't ideal.Even picked an injured player to mimic Joga's Carvalho injury situation.
TBH, in-game dynamics like that don't quite work as I don't get to submit squad numbers for randomisation, etc.That should mean one of Bonucci or Ayala (one of your starting centre-backs) should be injured right?

AyeI suppose it's the same for all, you find a player who would be great... but clashes with a key player.
Definitely but it makes more sense to 'injure' one your first XI if you'd like to mimic the Carvalho injury situation, instead of drafting in an injured player (who had nothing to do with your side or the afflicted injury) with your first team being untouched injury wise.TBH, in-game dynamics like that don't quite work as I don't get to submit squad numbers for randomisation, etc.
The thing is, I built a very flexible side bar the RvN/Nedved picks. It doesn't seem to make any difference whatsoever as the greats I could draft in with no clashes are all R1-R2 players. Those which are R3 and on don't improve you all that much so there's no real reward, which is disappointing.
Indeed. The pool post round 2 does suffer a bit of dip and most of em block a fair bit of players too which is a double whammy.It doesn't seem to make any difference whatsoever as the greats I could draft in with no clashes are all R1-R2 players.

Carvalho injured would created a lot of issues as well at the back.I think Joga got off a bit easy. Chapusiat/Scholes as a front 2 would have generated a lot of discussion....with Cristiano/Batigol at other end.
My point is I could pick up about half the R1-2 players with no changes and a few more as double deals (e.g. getting Ronaldo/Bati frees up United...). Other managers probably can't pick half of the greats I can, which goes to show the R1-2 block ran counter to the spirit/challenge of the draft.Indeed.

Enjoy it whilst it lasts. Things always change with kids and not always for the betterMerry Christmas too!
It's so much work carrying two babies around with all their just in case stuff... Good thing is they sleep through fireworks, singing, etc. as if nothing were happening
Joke init and I've gotta wait for the full next draft to pass before being involved againThis thread was ystarted November 20 and it's at semi final stage.
