SG's Ultimate Draft Challenge

[fender]

Shifty thought you would have been gutted with Robben being taken or gotten someone like ******.

I'm a fan of Sneijder just not the teams that he's played for plus he's dutch and i like the dutch national team so there's some favourtism.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Could you edit that out?

That particular Bayern player is a fine player, but this early would be a joke. I see his value more around the 6th Round or even lower. Great promise and some great recent performances, but he's young and inexperienced, and there are tons of flaws to his game that are on display if you see him more often.

 

[Mandieta6]

Haha! Everyone knows who you're on about, isn't that a little excessive considering this is just a game?

Btw, any ideas on how to make sure this isn't a popularity contest?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I'm sure a lot of the drafting will be based on popularity, but hopefully we can figure out a way to determine the winner in a smart way. As far as voting when we get done with the draft, I think there are a few ways to do this: make votes only legitimate from posters with more than x posts, or even have voting open to only those people who participated in the draft (and you can't vote if your team is playing).

Man, I was about ready to take Cesc, but I was hoping to snatch him in the second round.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

He was the last attack-minded CM that I was looking at in the first round. Glad you didn't take him.

 

[Coruja]

my tactic is still on. muaha muahahaha muahahahahahaa

When do Aussies wake up? I've been refreshing about every 10 seconds for the last 4 hours.

you can give him my spot ... every franchise needs a poster boy to carry the brand, and bring in the investors ... my consortium's irreplaceable/dealbreaker player got picked ...

Well, this draft needs you, and with your knowledge you'll have a top team no doubt.

Plus, you gotta figure some of the "non-regular" members in this will quit.

Out of curiosity who did you want?

Good pick with Villa there.

 

[simo_yes]

what better place to get goals than one of the most prolific strikers in the game today

 

[Mus]

barcelona is dominating thus far

Yeah this is pretty incredible. It's interesting you know, are ALL of their players this good, or are they made to look better by all the other good players around them? I suspect it's the latter, but it's hard to tell.

 

[simo_yes]

i think the key is to pick players who are proven against quality opposition and i think that might be where barca players can let you down. look at how somebody like messi performs at a world cup
