SG Draft Challenge 2015 - Semi-Final #2

Vote for the team you think will win!

The Jailbirds


vs.

The Von Trapps

Oh come on, David Luiz?

Yeah David Luiz and 2 pretty average wing backs covering the flanks alone. This team is flawed because of the wing backs imo. I still voted him because you have Oscar (overrated and shit) and J. Martinez (was injured for like 2 years)

Bellerín and Kolarov are better than Carvajal and Durm. He can perfectly defend counter pressing after losing the ball or in 4-4-2 shape.

How the fuck are Bellerin and Kolarov covering the flanks alone?

These discussions needed to happen when voting was still open ...

Isn't it still open? There's still one more day for those who haven't voted yet. Or were you going to change your vote after Shifty pointed out that David Luiz is in my team?

I actually think his wingbacks are great, and Bellerin at least can probably run that whole flank. Martinez is a super player though. Oscar... yeah my honeymoon period with him is coming to an end. I thought he was going to be a top 5 world player by this point and he's the same player he was 4 years ago.

thought it's closed ... we had 3-4 pages discussion for qf of previous years ... just thought 7 post for semi final is a bit short ... no I won't change my vote ...

Yeah I know. Perks of waiting 2-3 months after picking stage.

This. Oscar was the wonderkid when he first got there but it feels like everyone has evolved and he's kept the same, which is still good, but disappointing considering what it seemed he could be.

I think Oscar will show his true potential once he moves to Serie A or Bundesliga.

Oscar never impressed me.

Yet you finger yourself over Rakitic?

Rakitic never were as hyped as Oscar yet is a much better player.

Oscar debuted in Europe by being the key player in two high profile matches and neutralising the most important players for those teams. The hype was understandable, especially since at the start of every season he would start very well and seemed destined to breal through.

Rakitic has been extremely hyped by Barca fans such as yourselves, so that's bullshit.

Rakitic proved himself and Oscar didnt. End of the argument.

I think you are arguing something different than Mus was.

Swap Oscar and Rakitic and see who appears the better player. Having good players around you, not to mention a friendly attacking system, does a lot for how good a player looks.

A prime example of that is Vermaelen, a mediocre player in the EPL is now a superstar in La Liga
