The Reality Draft: Main Thread (Finals)

[Annahnomoss]

Not sure why I offered Ljungberg Brazil and not Argentina, probably want him to go sun it there too much

Not a bad player, just an arse that I didn't need someone like him in my plans. Not that they would last all the other random events

Not the funniest legacy player to pick up by any means. Luckily he was great defensively and incredibly fast, that combination rarely does bad in these drafts.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Say, why do I keep seeing a green line on some of you guys' name including my own?
I'm from my IPhone if it makes a difference

A small green triangle in corner. Probably the online status in new xenforo patch. See the mod help forum for details.

Pools are finalized excepting @crappycraperson to replace the blocked Rummenigge.

When will the drafting start?

 

[BorisDeLeFora]

Roberto Baggio?

Player Block Pool - Giggs

DoF Interference Pool: Forward - Zlatan
DoF Interference Pool: Midfielder - Neeskens
DoF Interference Pool: Defender - Baresi
.
Legacy Pool - Zambrotta

Have I done that correctly?

@BorisDeLeFora zings with Zambrotta

Fix.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Roberto Baggio?

I've closed the pools as above. See post 2 for details.

Weird you nominate and get Zambrotta!

So all pools are closed now? No more DOF/Blocks?

Just crappys pick.

Anytime after crappycraperson posts his replacement.

The 8 hour cycle starts from tomorrow noon GMT.

 

[Moby]

Those who are online should get it underway even if the clock starts tomorrow.

We have to wait for crappy's pick as whoever he picks cannot be picked by Annah.

 

[Theon]

He's probably asleep, in which case to keep things moving I'll just block someone else.

 

[Annahnomoss]

Would be brilliant. I am ready to pick and your block won't interfere anyhow.

I pick Gentile.

 

[Theon]

As much as I would love to see him have a great draft, I'll block Gullit

His versatility would have been fantastic in this draft, with the player injuries and suspension.

The game should be able to go ahead now.

Was going to be my pick originally. The one midfielders/forward who was at a level above of the others in the pool as well.

Was surprised that he wasn't blocked before and he wouldn't last until my pick anyway, but still

Gullit would have been my first pick.

I was surprised you went with Gentile at first, but after thinking who to block it became clear that there aren't too many standouts. Great player and he does offer flexibility as well.

What for? Crappy DoFI Forward nomination of Rummenigge has been blocked. He just needs to nomiante someone else for the pool. Check my post above...

Don't you go dare blocking my first pick now!

 

[RoadTrip]

Oh god Keown... Good defender but seriously dislike him after the Ruud incident and a cringeworthy 'pundit' to boot with as well... Well at least he was one of the cornerstones for Arsenal's success and one of the top CBs of the EPL era. Sadly, gotta have to start hyping that bozo up now

Given some of the pundits on TV today, I actually enjoy his punditry.

That Ruud incident though, what a cnut!

As for playing him in the draft, good luck

 

[Theon]

What for? Crappy DoFI Forward nomination of Rummenigge has been blocked. He just needs to nomiante someone else for the pool.

Well in terms of what for - to keep the game going ahead, because I suspect he's asleep.

I'm not fussed either way, but crappy will most likely just nominate Gullit as the replacement for Rummenigge in which case you won't get him.

Crappy has already blocked Ronaldinho for the one block he gets.

He needs to replace Rummenigge from the DoF ATT pool as he was blocked by someone else.

 

[Theon]

That's exactly what I'm saying.

He will most likely replace Rummenigge with Gullit, in which case he goes into the DoT ATT pool and Edgar would not be able to pick him.

Rummenigge was blocked by me by the way - to clarify what has happened, I blocked Rummenigge but seeing as Crappy is not online to change his pick, I decided to change my block to Gullit so that the game can start.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

So we replace with Gullit and I pick another one? I'm OK with that.

I don't want him pissed that we didn't wait.

 

[Theon]

I don't want him pissed that we didn't wait.

You can do that, or you can just change my block to Gullit which would be simpler as it doesn't affect crappy.

He picked Rummenigge, so instead of me blocking him - I really don't care either way, whether Rummenigge is blocked - I'll just block Gullit. I don't have a preference there, both players are fine.

Or you can decide not to change my block from Rummenigge and we can wait for crappy to nominate someone else. But I suspect all that will happen is that crappy will nominate Gullit, in which case he goes into the DOF ATT pool and no one would be able to pick him anyway.

 

[Annahnomoss]

Gullit would have been my first pick.

I was surprised you went with Gentile at first, but after thinking who to block it became clear that there aren't too many standouts. Great player and he does offer flexibility as well.

Yeah, there were no real standout quality about.

So for once the first pick wasn't just down to being rated extremely high and being individually extraordinary.

Gentile is potentially the best man marker in history, as well as a capable as either a RB/RCB/CB/LCB/LB as well a man marking "DM"(who doesn't move forward in attack).

So hopefully he won't cause me a heart attack in the DoF rounds etc.

OK, then. I'll change your block to Gullit and we'll proceed.

Damn, I was so happy he was not in the any of the pools...only to end here. :-(

I thought you were going to pick someone else anyway.

@Joga Bonito @Raees

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

I nominate Baggio

Theon has changed his block, so your original nomination stays.

If you haven't noticed, think Nadal has been allocated to you too.

 

[Edgar Allan Pillow]

Baggio

I had to debate so much and finally decided Baggio has a probability to remain unpicked.... And you shatter it immediately after.

 

[Joga Bonito]

@crappycraperson Are you OK with your initial Ronaldinho block and Rummenige nomination? EAP and Theon decided on it earlier. Was just chomping at the bits to get the Black Tulip or the Divine Ponytail as my first pick...

 

[crappycraperson]

Kinell......

hahah.. that would have been epic if Theon had not changed his block
