I didn't mean to put down your team mate, but it has Deco and Socrates as CMs. That's not being silky, it simply won't work in a real football game. On top of this, you have your FBs as the only providers of width, who will be going up and at times being caught upfield as well. I have two all-time great wingers and two world class full-backs, the four of them will eat your wide areas. You're asking Cambiasso to do 4 men's job. Just that, my team was more balanced, had players in their positions, had goalscorers, crossers, playmakers, passers, defensively solid players and all and yet, the voting was completely disproportionate.

If it was an isolated scenario, I wouldn't have mentioned. It's just that teams aren't voted on quality and balance, but based on some favorite player picks who are popular in the draft circle and some teams who are expansive even if the balance is not right. If it's an all-time draft, trying out different players should not be frowned upon.

I'm not giving up drafting, but I feel I need a break from this. My last three drafts have been voted disproportionately, so either I need to revisit my drafting ways or the voting needs to be revisited. Either way, a break will do good.

I know you’re a bit miffed, but you make it seem as if I’ve put goalkeepers in outfield positions ;D

I agreed with you earlier and acknowledged that I’ve gone for more attack minded players in certain areas, but I think you’re doing my side a disservice overall and acting as if I’ve rocked up with Accrington Stanley. I’ve already spoken about the full backs, but let’s take somebody like Deco for example. During the 06/07 Spanish league campaign, he featured in nearly half of the games as a CM! You think you’ll win the battle out wide, but I’d argue you won’t get time on the ball in midfield and that your wide players will have to spend more time running back towards their own goal! Ronaldo and Weah, with Zico in behind, would have an absolute field day running at that back line.

At the end of the day I’m only responsible for 1 vote against your team in our match (surprise!) so I can’t give the definitive answer you’re searching for… although you do seem to have some vocal support in this thread :wave
I’m so glad that Jürgen is a Red…

Chakan v fucking appalled pelanties!

Dalglish (Chakan) steps up first... goes right and scores (1-0)

Maradona (appalled) chips it down the middle and we're all square (1-1)

Müller (Chakan) hits it down the middle but straight into the hands of Preud'homme (1-1)

Desailly (appalled) smashes it into the top right hand corner (1-2)

Cubillas (Chakan) tries a panenka down the middle but again Preud'homme stands tall (1-2)

Recoba (appalled) sits Pfaff down and calmly rolls it to the bottom right hand corner (1-3)

Zanetti (Chakan) puts it in hard and low to the left (2-3)

Falcão (appalled) now with a chance to win it... hammers it down the middle, past a diving Pfaff, and it's all over! (2-4)

fucking appalled wins 4-2 in the shootout!

Cheers mate, your team is great too. If I wasn’t involved in the match I wouldn’t know how to call it. Good luck with that creep Nick.

The anti Lastrador bias is apparent. The voting patterns are suspect. I expect a Trend's eulogy of my current team and past teams to get me over the line. Ta

Just so everyone knows --- I voted Chakan in this match.   Two things can be true - at the same time lads.
THIS IS ANFIELD SIGN:
It’s there to remind our lads who they’re playing for and to remind the opposition who they’re playing against! - Bill Shankly

We have everything we need - Jurgen Klopp

You need to get more wives mate, it fixes everything. Apart from then you have loads of wives, which is a nightmare.  -  Djozer

Wish I’d voted for you now after the drubbing that twat’s giving me in the Quarters. At least I’d have beaten you.  :D

Let that be a lesson for you Nicholas. Vote against me, get shafted on the next round.
