The All-time Auction Draft
- Thread starter Annahnomoss
- Start date
I'm out of town until friday. Unless @Pat_Mustard is able to throw something together and wants to get it done tomorrowI 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!
Otherwise Tuesday is fine by me
I honestly have no idea how to fit everyone into my side now...
Xavi, Iniesta and Zidane, who to drop?
Ronaldo needs to goI honestly have no idea how to fit everyone into my side now...

That doesn't really work though, maybe drop Robben and put Iniesta further up?Ronaldo needs to go
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.
Match 2;

Talking about preliminary finals.
It's between Iniesta and Zidane and with Xavi here it's a no-brainer, imo. Seems cruel to bench Zidane without even giving him a chance, but he will be a great vote-pulling option for you if something goes wrong.I honestly have no idea how to fit everyone into my side now...

I feel your pain.I honestly have no idea how to fit everyone into my side now...

Let's fix it for Tuesday @Annahnomoss.I'm out of town until friday. Unless @Pat_Mustard is able to throw something together and wants to get it done tomorrow
Otherwise Tuesday is fine by me
If Annah is busy, who'll be available on Tuesday?
I'm leaning towards that too, Xaviesta seems like a no brainer like Rio & Vidic.
But to drop Zidane of all people...
When in doubt always drop a defender.I'm leaning towards that too, Xaviesta seems like a no brainer like Rio & Vidic.
But to drop Zidane of all people...
Next Thursday please so that I have more time to play Werewolf
Good luck to you too
Hmm... I'll take that under advisement.
Rooney and Ronnie look like feckin' babies! Those were the days
Young Rooney and Ronaldo...
All right, Thursday it is then.
@Cal? that Messi chap is rather shit. I'd drop him
I'd say it depends on how you want to play. Possession style, then Schweini - Xavi - Iniesta is your midfield 3. A regular game, sitting a bit deeper, maybe even attacking on the counter, then Makelele - Xavi - Zidane is your best midfield.I'm leaning towards that too, Xaviesta seems like a no brainer like Rio & Vidic.
But to drop Zidane of all people...
This Cal?
For me picking Zidane was either tactical brilliance to deny him from others or, a waste of money
Personally I can't imagine Ronaldo pressing enough to play Barca's tiki taka, and that will rise as a question mark if you play Xavi and Iniesta with Messi as false 9. I'd play Makalele-Xavi-ZidaneI'm leaning towards that too, Xaviesta seems like a no brainer like Rio & Vidic.
But to drop Zidane of all people...
Tomorrow?
Well, not a lot of area I needed to improve on, so I thought I'd bid on both.
I think Ronaldo can press better than Neymar...
Alves and Schweini?You had Matthaus & Neeskens available who would have been massive upgrades on Schweini. Not sure if you read last match's comments, Alves vs Gento (I think) was a major weakness pointed out. You still would be better off with Zanetti, Thuram, Cafu, Carlos Alberto, Irwin etc, all who would have been considered an upgrade depending on how attacking/defensive you plan to play.
Just saw your opponent. It'll be Czibor vs Alves this match!
Rightback is officially the most underrated position on the pitch, after goalkeeper.
Looking at Gio/Theon's team again, the similarities are uncanny. 
cant this week sorry, fine any day next week though
Didn't see that in this round though, with no less than 3 managers going for RB reinforcements - Cafu, C.Alberto and Zannetti.
Never really found that to be the case tbh.
Anto will never let Gary Kelly go.
Does Saturday?
I'll be back from work late on Friday so it might be Saturday when it's sent.
I'm not sure if Irwin would have been an upgrade on Alves to be honest....

Whenever you prefer, just give me 24 hours notice, I'm back from holiday and quite free these days.cant this week sorry, fine any day next week though
No worries. Saturday it is.
Of course he isn't, but you are in a fantasy draft world where Alves is a defensive liability but doesn't get more than lip service for his contribution upfront, while Irwin is Mr. Reliable at the back while being equally irrelevant to the attacking drool stakes.
The same world where Gary feckin' Kelly can stop Zidane just by "tucking in". In real life, the only thing tucking in is his sphincter when faced by Zinedine.
Haha
