Another tough one this.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Your front 3 are better but his back 5 are better.

[tubby]

This one is really tough.

[Sarge]

This one is really tough.

Yup

[Trendisnotdestiny]

The only thing I would put into the minds of those who have yet to vote is that I purposefully chose a team that was physical, good on restarts, and certain bite to their game.

His front five are technical and well-balanced - and his back five are not off the pace.  Its a brilliant use of the rules DeFacto.  For us, our whole is to wear you down (Rivaldo & Abidal specifically) isolate Garrincha and get either a quick counter, John Charles restart header or free kick thunderbolt from Riise, Souness, Henderson, or Stoickov.   

Technicians v tactical aggressiveness.   Will be fun to see how this plays out.


Good luck Defactinho.

Likewise Trendo, shame this isn't the final

[Sarge]

Why ya think you'd beat everyone else

[Sarge]

Bump.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Bump indeed

[Sarge]

So close

[deFacto please, you bastards]

The wives and the sisters have arrived

[Hazell]

Like others have said, really tough one this, could be the final.

Went with Trend, dspite being a huge fan of Boban, I really like his Trend's midfield and his three behind Rush would be so much fun to watch. Bonus points for the Fruit Salad-esque kit.

Aye, where as my front three would be dull to watch 

[Hazell]

ha ha was expecting that

I guess what I was trying to say was there's more of an unpredictability with Trend's front three in all respects - like having Garrincha and questioning whether  Stoichkov would even last 90 minutes - it's obviously not always a positive but it would be interesting. I really like your team as well, like others have said, it's a close game, it could be final.

[El Lobo]

Too many games being decided by 'who has more Liverpool players' and frankly it calls the whole drafting game into disrepute. Void it.

The High Table has always recognised the underhandedness of Rawk drafts. This is nothing new.

So we're not deciding who would be more effective and win the match, but who would be more interesting?  I'll keep that in mind.

Ban Liverpool players from drafts. 

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Ban Liverpool players from drafts. 

There was some calculation mate.  I went with Beardsley, but really wanted shoehorn Eto'o or imprint my own footy opinion with Cubillas. 

So, you and Lobo were correct that I curated this team to fit well inside the RAWK drafting biases.   That said -- would love to see Souness 2-foot Guardiola

[Betty Blue]

Well I voted for Trend because you keep ruining my games in SM.

Ban Liverpool players from drafts. 

That would be quite interesting. How about Samie's 4 of clubs draft with all the current CL semi-finalists 

[tubby]

That said -- would love to see Souness 2-foot Guardiola

If we can make that happen, I'll switch my vote to you.

Went Tequila sunrise meets Celtic's hoops --  Fruity Hoops

Gonna have to work on some graphics for that request

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Now that's a proper reason to vote against me.

Don't defecate my draft franchise like that.

Oh I think Trend's team just about edges in a footballing sense as well (no offence) but I like to give out bonus points in categories I totally make up

[Hazell]

Classy. Must be the same guy who designed our Warrior kits.

I promise I did not encourage one person to vote nor did I make much of a case for my own team (besides being physical and hitting a ball).

I think what happened here is two-fold:

1.  People want to see me win now that I have set my sights on being the best loser (cannot win when I am trying to lose) 
2.  Apparently, we have a small contingency of people who eat cheese.

Who knew?

[Sarge]

OK semi draw in a bit.

Well done Trend

'Beloved Aunts' as Lobo might say.

Cheers mate - I’ll find a way to lose it 👍🏼⚽️

Vote Sarge -- because winning a draft that you run doesn't really count
