Wait, Samie's picked George Weah? Didn't see that one coming.

You should be happy that I'm consistent.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Just a keeper to go and I think I have two routes back from here (plus probably a sub keeper or two in case of emergency!)...

Betty Blue · « **Reply #443 on:** June 10, 2022, 04:17:27 pm »

Think I'm safe now...

Jarni, the God, completely saved my bacon after Zambrotta and Panucci were snatched off me last night. Had to completely rethink my entire endgame. I was feeling a little deflated and decided to just check in on Jarni's time with all those random small clubs he played at and discovered his links to Boban and Galli. Complete fucking miracle. I had another less favourable way out, but it involved having a substitute goalkeeper and some fairly average fullbacks.

No troubled waters for some of us it seems.

Betty Blue · « **Reply #445 on:** June 10, 2022, 04:27:22 pm »

Ahhhh so that's how you're getting back to Germany, Hazell. I thought you were just waiting for Lewa to sign for us.

Samie's shithouse rules basically forced my hand.

Who's done the most amount of traveling?

Sarge the lazy gramps hasn't got out of his deck chair.

I don’t think I’ve left Italy although I have covered off a few clubs. Might finish with a different country just to mix it up.

Can I check. Pick 11 had to have played with pick 10 and pick 1 I know...but that doesn’t necessarily have to have been at the same club does it?

Samie · « **Reply #449 on:** June 10, 2022, 04:34:58 pm »

I'll allow that.

Spain, Italy, and England here. So not all that much traveling, but better than some lazy gits.

Another idea for a future iteration of this draft could be something like a prerequisite to cover at least 5 countries and/or one from outside the big 5.

Drinks Sangria · « **Reply #451 on:** June 10, 2022, 04:41:03 pm »

Just Spain and Italy for me.

My original team, 3 picks in was shaping up for Spain, Italy, France, England, The Netherlands and Brazil. It would have been glorious.

RobbieRedman · « **Reply #452 on:** June 10, 2022, 04:43:39 pm »

5 clubs & 4 leagues for me, not too bad

Despite Sheer going all Dutch I nabbed the best of that nation too

sorry, it was Nicholls who nabbed Buffon, good luck in that case

Samie · « **Reply #459 on:** June 10, 2022, 04:55:13 pm »

Nicholls picked Buffon and me and Betts raided AC Milan peak era keepers.

Someone else picked Navas as well.

Not a problem, think I have a decent choice of two who have played with both picks 10 and 1.

The “good team nick” part was still meant for my boys though...right?!

Yeah, looking at your picks, you've got some fine keepers to choose from. Nicely done.

Have you ever played Shithead? It was like when you have a decent last few cards and you just need to figure out the best order to play them to maximise your chance of getting out.

No I've never played it. But I did think you were calling me Shithead for a second there (you might have been).

Sounds like the kind of insult Samie would use when offering you out the kebab shop in Wigan at 2am.

It was a very Samie-esque sentence.

I'm a St Helens supporter, HOW FUCKIN' DARE YOU NICHOLAS?

Betty Blue · « **Reply #467 on:** June 10, 2022, 05:24:51 pm »

Got a flexible pick between two greats next who I'm 99% sure are both safe. One straight up RB and one RCB who often played as the right most CB in a zona mista. Quite a few of my attackers are very flexible positionally too. Happy to get some opinions on the best way to set-up -

1.

2.

3.

Kit opinions also welcome
