Theon, and Skizzo, wow.
It's Paulo not Paolo.
Why do you have Burgnich, Carlos Alberto and Djalma Santos in your team?
Let's get this draw made! Where's Annah?
God knows, we were already baffled when he had Burgnich and Djalma. Funny thing is Djalma is the best out of that lot but I suspect will be the one warming the bench.
It seems to me EAP caught the wrong end of the stick when told to look at Djalma's role. He had to look into it because he was the best defender he had, not because he needed replacement.
I wanted to get the Carlos Alberto / Jairzinho link back in my team.
Tbf, I also have Junior on the bench
Edit: Are you done, btw?
Tbh, my knowledge of classic footy players is only through these draft discussions and related research. So I pick players, I like and then explore on how to use them (or not). So every draft, I make it a point to pick a couple of players I've never picked before.
Last draft it was Breitner and Masopust (who unfortunately did not go well together) and made the same mistake this draft with Junior and Charlton plus Djalma.
Anyway, I'm having fun and learning a bit more and that's what counts in the end!

Are everybody finished? Theon too?
Made the draw, will post the matches one by one.
Yes we are done mate
Alright. Was updating post 1 and 2 with the complete teams, will reveal the draw now.
Whoever's facing me gets a easy draw
That's my line!Whoever's facing me gets a easy draw
After cruising through Round 1 with a 13-5 victory against ChrisG11 - with 64 millions still in the bank account - Skizzo and Pat Mustard has brought in Maradona, Eusebio and Figueroa. The only concerns he faced was how suited Gullit was to be played on the left side, but that didn't stop the Qatari Princes from replacing three players, possibly even Platini.
Facing him is EAP who squeezed through Round 1 with a tight last minute victory over Raees. A team packed with potential to improve with nearly no boundaries after having had troubles fitting in Djalma Santos and Sammer together as well as having played Charlton as a central midfielder. Also signing three players in Carlos Alberto, Duncan Edwards and Falcao for a whopping 68 millions.
Match 1:
-----TEAM SKIZZO/PAT MUSTARD----VS------Edgar Allan Pillow

Aw feck, Skizzo/Pat!
My personal jinx team, they are.

are we?In Match 2, two nearly mythological draft deities face off. Theon is said to be the offspring of Gaia, the inventor of the 4-2-2-2 and partly responsible for the Antohan-Theon feud. After beating Rpitroda in round 1 with 13-8 he now has no strings attached and has managed to get the hold of pure offensive fire power in Zizinho, Zico, Romario, Ronaldinho and Best.
He's up against Aldo. The modest man, the modest myth, the modest legend - who likes to downplay his own greatness with flattering words about the opponents. A natural charmer, the drafts Mr. Bilzerian.

That such a half-arsed reveal Annah, run out of steam with just two done
Going abroad tomorrow so don't have time! Need to pack the bags.That such a half-arsed reveal Annah, run out of steam with just two done
It was inevitable. We spent the auction with same strategies and same targets and now to face off.
No easy games at this stage anyway.
Friday/Saturday?
Friday works for me.
Monday would be better, but Tuesday works if that's the earliest you can do.
Looking forward to seeing those teams go at it. Both drafted cracking teams as usual
I usually slink through Mondays with a hangover. This week there's WWE PPV on Sunday night too!
I can do tomorrow, if you want to get this over with quickly!
Friday/weekends rarely get feedback and turn out to be dull affairs imo!
