SG's Ultimate Draft Challenge

[Pogba4Now]

Just read that but I'm too late . Any chance I could be on the waiting list? In case someone is kicked out. Of course Steaua comes before me though.

Yeah that's cool. I have a feeling you'll be in pretty soon. The missing people better get here today.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

simo_yes is next as Fili is being skipped until he arrives or is replaced.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Fili comes in and grabs the top keeper. Can't beat him if you can't get one past Iker.

Didn't know you were such a Madrid fanboy though

 

[Filipower]

I'm not! As soon as I picked them I realized that, but I do rate Casillas as the best, and after you guys picked all the good stuff (with you stealing Cesc from me), Özil was a logical choice...

 

[Filipower]

How many rounds are we going to have?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

18 so we all have a full squad.

 

[Filipower]

I'm going to love the last 4-5 rounds.

 

[simo_yes]

damn i gotta stop getting so drunk when its my pick. seriously compromising my choices here. wanted ozil soooooo bad. time for plan b

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Well, in fairness you had less than an hour window to get him; even if you were online you can forget about SG for an hour.

Samuel Eto'o! **** YES! Clutch, prolific, strong, good in the air, explosive, and capable of playing as a lone striker if needed. Thrilled about this pick. Didn't get as many goals this season, but that's because Mourinho needed him in a different role. Still, when he played as the Center Forward in Milito's absence, he would usually score.

daS, you have until $teaua gets to a computer and sees my message that he can make 2 picks; if you make those picks before $teaua does, you're still in. I'd say the odds aren't in your favor considering the contact method I'm using. If you were a more regular poster, I'd probably be more patient, but a day and a half on the first picks is a bad sign. Same for the fact that you've made like 4 posts in the Soccer Forum since the end of the World Cup.

great pick! he was high on my list ... in terms of ambidextrous finishing, Samu is second only to Ronaldo, from what I've seen from CFs in my lifetime ...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I've never really considered it, but you might be right. Although off the top of my head I think van Nistelrooy (I'll mention him because it's doubtful he gets picked) might have a case as well for that title.

 

[4ndr3i]

I was really hoping I would snatch up Casillas but Fili got him

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Couple of Bayern players gone now. Not surprising, but I don't know... Ribery just rubs me the wrong way these days, although he certainly looks like he's close to getting back to his top form for the first time in a year or more.

 

[VanTheMan]

I wonder who will go for Eric Djemba Djemba..

Yeah, I liked how he played against Wolfsburg. He wasn't my first pick but I needed another winger so why not.. I still think he has great quality, he just needs to get back in shape.

shhh i was gonna take him, have him warming the pine and come on with about 15 to go, cutting through any defense with more guile than eric cantona

 

[Xifio]

Legio Septima second round pick:

Maicon

Aquilo Xifio had this to say:​

Aquilo: "The best-laid schemes o' mice an' men, gang aft agley ... but not today! Big Doug is the best in the business in his position, and we are delighted to be bringing him in. He also has an excellent rapport and very successful history with Zlatan, and that can only bode well for us."
