I’m glad he lasted as I haven’t had the chance to pick him before. He was insanely amazing at the 74 WC and as he didn’t win it I don’t lose one of my criteria restrictions.
Yup smart pick.

Bloody hell the 1970s and early 80s pool is going to be a nightmare to navigate at this rate. Might have to use my break in the second turn itself

@crappycraperson it's good that you don't hear what I'm saying about you right now. Cheated to get him ahead of me as well, "Mr. Randomiser".
Feck. Wanted him from the very beginning and hoped to build a team around him, as I'm so often criticising teams with Garrincha in them.

Great player and all but Messi as the 8th pick in an all-time World Cup draft? This is probably the strangest choice I’ve seen since playing these drafts.

I find his 2014 world cup performance underrated.

Read the below stats somewhere a while back

Goals scored - 4 (highest 6)
Chances created - highest
Through balls - Highest along with an Italian genius
Dribbles finished - 46 (2nd highest was 29) (Maradona had 50 in 1986)

Maybe wouldn't be my 8th pick as well, but still a very good pick.
If Argentina would have won that world cup, maybe the rhetoric would have been different.

Would say this is a fair assessment.

He was good, no doubt. I would expect to see him picked in the later rounds but he looks so out of place there.

A very good performance but not an all-time great though, I'd still pick a few attackers before him. The biggest criticism is that most of his deeds came in the early stages of the tournament

Though I don’t think Messi is as bad a pick. It’s not just a World Cup Draft but a chain draft as well. So your starting position is pretty important to your strategy
Yeah, he has a good pool here if he goes backwards (although people at the bottom of the list would probably interfere)

Yup. If I understand his strategy his next pick will be pretty good and makes complete sense

Messi is actually a great pick. Gets to pick from relatively unchallenged pool the best of the earlier WC's, whilst also getting a big name to boot.

Sound strategy until someone breaks the chain.
