Congrats Anto! How the feck you pulled that out after those initial few random picks you got is beyond me! Unlucky Viva - great effort throughout and you ran Anto very close here. EAP - great draft mate. Very smoothly run.
I would have voted for Anto if I hadn't went back to sleep again. I haven't been entirely convinced by his defensive set-up or personnel trhroughout, but Sammer really was the missing part of the jigsaw. There's just noone better at judging when to put out fires at the back and when to push further up the pitch.
I posted this video in another draft and I still think it gives a great flavour of what he was about as a player:
I respected Viva's decision to stick with his instincts regarding his midfield, and I didn't think the lack of a recognised playmaker was as terminal a problem as others suggested. Not with the creativity he had further up the park. Getting the ball to the forward players was Keane's bread and butter, even more so than breaking up the opposition's play imo. Some of his best performances for Utd came alongside Butt and not Scholes, and Vs Portugal and Holland for Ireland he was paired with the likes of Kinsella and Matty Holland. His ball retention and distribution to the attackers was still top notch.
Yeah balu won that one for you. I voted for you initially but then changed my vote after reading all the comments.
