obviously CarecaThe CF pool is very deep, and it's quite hard to predict who will be highest-rated given that most of the usual suspects are off the table.

Fire another striker!!!@Pat_Mustard
The 14-man thing has changed my selection process quite a bit, tbh. Antognoni wasn't in my plans, but with the switch, he's a useful player to have.
re. Schiaffino, at least that clears up why he was still on the board. Joke's on me! But yeah, I used that site for more games of my favourites over anything else, really, so I can't say I ever put him in the engine, as opposed to Andrade and Varela.
@GodShaveTheQueen nice take with Chagas. The Gordillo pick really killed my plans and the Jordi pick was just ahead of Chagas. Was going to have a cheeky take if he was around in the last run.
He's definitely well-regarded in fairness! What I'm really wondering though is how the feck we all allowed @Joga Bonito and @Theon to prioritise their defence and still end up with that very tasty Spencer/Bebeto partnershipobviously Careca
DO IT!!Time picks are wrong, if you want I can suggest all the people not having it right including the leading one.
What even is this sentence hahaTime picks are wrong, if you want I can suggest all the people not having it right including the leading one.
Last column on the table with our picks mate! Times have went unrecorded quite often probably so the numbers are wrong if my comrade Beam is correct. And he's seldom wrong.What even is this sentence haha
sorry I’m completely lost
Ah im with you, tbh I’m just trying to answer as soon as I can I’m not winning that, quite hard to predict.Last column on the table with our picks mate! Times have went unrecorded quite often probably so the numbers are wrong if my comrade Beam is correct. And he's seldom wrong.
After it goes to dunc it bounces up fast but on the way down from Michael it could be half the day ha
Aye, poor Michael has got dogs abuse for his tardiness so far! Wondered when we first introduced the recording pick time thing whether it might be better to record the time of the manager prior to you rather than yourself. Very little incentive to bother with it if you know your pick time is shit or even mediocre and you're posting in a hurry, and an active incentive to ignore it if you're in line for the prize.Ah im with you, tbh I’m just trying to answer as soon as I can I’m not winning that, quite hard to predict.

Tbf I reckon they were both picked at the rounds that you'd expect them to be picked at. We were just lucky that a fair few of our preferred picks manage to last back to us.He's definitely well-regarded in fairness!

Let's just release good old, boring 2-7-1 @Pat_Mustard
Spencer could easily have been a first round pick imo, and Bebeto falls into that big category where I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd went much, much earlier or as a 12th-14th pick, as that general 'forwards' category is so deep. Certainly wouldn't consider him a lesser player overall than some of the attacking players picked earlier, although how we rate them all come the match threads is always going to be subject to tactical fit/write ups/individual whims and whatnot, far more than the typical all-time draft where the pecking order is basically entrenched at this point. It goes without saying that flattery aside you two are fecked if we play each other and Team Beam 2.0 unleash the monster on youTbf I reckon they were both picked at the rounds that you'd expect them to be picked at.

8 hours pick time per pick for his nonchalant attitude about his selections @Invictus
The only choice I actually made was my first pick. The team built itself after that.8 hours pick time per pick for his nonchalant attitude about his selections @Invictus
Agreed with that .Spencer could easily have been a first round pick imo, and Bebeto falls into that big category where I wouldn't have been surprised if he'd went much, much earlier or as a 12th-14th pick, as that general 'forwards' category is so deep.

looking forward to itIt goes without saying that flattery aside you two are fecked if we play each other and Team Beam 2.0 unleash the monster on you
cheers. It’s your turn by the way@GodShaveTheQueen nice take with Chagas. The Gordillo pick really killed my plans and the Jordi pick was just ahead of Chagas. Was going to have a cheeky take if he was around in the last run.
Has he not been picked?
Ah, looks like he has. Missed that. Need a few minutes to sort it out.Has he not been picked?

I looked at him earlier on when working out which direction to go downMorten Olsen
Incase I want to play 5 at the back, my libero will be Morten Olsen, one of the finest to adopt that influential role, post-Beckenbauer era.

Goalkeeper rankings will be used to settle in-game draws, yes — there's no going back now! In fact, once Yashin was selected, it was already too late to reconfigure the scheme — because while he's the standout goalkeeper in this pool, BIG DUNK might not have selected him with a premium Round 4 pick in a draft where goalkeeper rankings weren't used for tie-breaking purposes. That being said, I will employ other methods to settle overall league results — so keep an eye out for future announcements.So is the GK ranking still determining draws or has that been amended?
New methods would be cool, I’m interested to find out.Goalkeeper rankings will be used to settle in-game draws, yes — there's no going back now!

I pondered for a long time about picking him as early as round 7 when I picked Bratseth. But eventually couldn’t make myself agree as I didn’t think I had or could have picked a proper support staff around him in a back 4. Excellent pick at this stage and easily better than quite a few players picked ahead of him.Morten Olsen
