Unlucky Klippity, think in the end you just fell short because of the lack of true partnerships in your team

Ha, good one!

Surprised I got that many votes.

The cheese teams were all going to win. No surprises.

Good luck in the next round!

No idea how to deal with that draw! I'm out tonight anyway, so the next matches will go up tomorrow.

while they are a partnership, the overall team still needs to make sense and midfield of two of Kroos and Modric felt a bit weak. Neither being true DMs, and in the Madrid team they have Casemeiro to do some dirty work

They have played plenty of times just the two of them.  But yeah maybe they were light weight compared to some of the other teams.  But genuine partnerships were taken due to cheese (which fucked my team up with the last few picks), so sadly we didn't see some of the true ones.  Some teams do have some great ones though.

Not that it matters anymore. 

As I said from the start your team and Lawnmowers are my two favs and I hope one of them wins.

I raise the white flag. Let 4  go through.

Rock, Paper, Scissors?

Go on lad, I'm genuinely intrigued. What's your definition of a 'genuine partnership' as opposed to two players who played in the same team, both in excellent form, and were successful? The thing with great partnerships is they tend to contain great players, and great players tend to look good with a lot of different players. Like Gerrard and Torres, or Gerrard and Alonso, or Gerrard and Owen, or Gerrard and Suarez, or Gerrard and Hamann, or Gerrard and Carragher.

I think you maybe overlooked the strategy part of a draft, like blocking other players from other 'partnerships'.

I have explained it plenty of times during the draft, I don't want to bore people again.
