The basquemaster finally got someone in who spent time in his hometown I see

Anyway, the name I wouldn't disclose was Édouard Mendy (Reims).

Couldn’t have used him anyway

Reims is banned actually.

Petr Cech is eligible from Rennes though.

Do not rate Bravo though. Good stopper and good with his feet, terrible at controlling the box.

Rennes are Cech's third club. Arsenal come in second for him.

Thought Chelsea and Arsenal were Cech’s top two

[Chakan]

Should have just picked Campos anyway...

[Hazell]

Suddenly feel like listening to Sweet Female Attitude.

[Adz LFC]

I’ll just double check the last few picks and add them on in a bit (I think we’re only a couple of finalised lineups away from a full house as well)

Just a reminder that I posted a full randomised knockout draw beforehand too…

Round of 16
1 Max_powers v Drinks Sangria
2 Chakan v fucking appalled
3 Adz LFC v PoetryInMotion
4 Lastrador v Hazell
5 XabiArt v tubby pls.
6 Betty Blue v Trendisnotdestiny
7 BIG DICK NICK v CleveYork
8 Linudden v Sheer Magnetism

[Crosby Nick]

Suddenly feel like listening to Sweet Female Attitude.

Only suddenly?

[Linudden]

Was that Kopa?

I was always going for Zubizarreta anyway.

Cech was not eligible for Rennes because his second most appeared club for was Arsenal.

Here's a potential deeper squad of other potential players I assembled for fun:

GK: Guillermo Ochoa (América)
GK: Andy Goram (Rangers) or FW: Brian Laudrup (Rangers)
GK: Igor Akinfeev (CSKA Moscow)
DF: Marco Materazzi (Perugia)
DF: Arne Friedrich (Hertha Berlin)
DF: Patrik Andersson (Malmö FF) or Jonas Thern (Malmö FF) or FW: Bo Larsson (Malmö FF) or FW: Martin Dahlin (Malmö FF)
DF: Alexandr Anyukov (Zenit) or MF: Axel Witsel (Zenit) or FW: Andrey Arshavin (Zenit) or FW: Hulk (Zenit/Shanghai SIPG)
DF: Abelardo (Sporting Gijón)
DF: Viktor Onopko (Real Oviedo)
DF: Luisão (Cruzeiro)
MF: Osvaldo Ardiles (Huracán)
MF: Marek Hamsík (Brescia)
MF: Nils Liedholm (Sleipner)
MF: Oscar (Shanghai Port)
MF: João Moutinho (Sporting)
MF: Tomas Brolin (GIF Sundsvall)
MF: Cristian Ledesma (Lecce)
MF: Nándor Hidegkuti (Vörös)
MF: Antonín Panenka (Bohemians Prague/Rapid Wien)
MF: Gunnar Gren (IFK Göteborg/Gothenburg) or DF: Glenn Hysén (IFK Göteborg)
MF: Sebastian Giovinco (Toronto FC)
MF: Lennart Skoglund (Hammarby) or GK: Ronnie Hellström (Hammarby)
FW: Antonio Di Natale (Empoli)
FW: Tommaso Rocchi (Empoli)
FW: Gunnar Nordahl (Norrköping)
FW: Alan Shearer (Blackburn)
FW: Agne Simonsson (Örgryte)
FW: Hakan Sükür (Bursaspor)
FW: Jon Dahl Tomasson (Heerenveen)

Liedholm and Di Natale easily could've made my team but I decided to focus elsewhere. Nordahl was truly an epic striker but he wasn't going to knock Pelé off centre forward duties!

[Hazell]

Only suddenly?

Yep. I think I've exhausted my Vanilla playlist.

[Chakan]

Davor Sukur anyone?
Valery Voronin?

[Max_powers]

No one picked Aldridge. Was surprised to find out that his top two teams were Newport and Tranmere Rovers.

[Linudden]

Yep quite a surprise, I figured him out on Tuesday but he wasn't in my attacking plans.

[Lawnmowerman]

He gets no love round here. A draft where we pick only players who were known to have sported a moustache at one time in their career and he still wouldn't get picked

I’m up against a two man team and a three man cabal. Up against it.

[Crosby Nick]

I was genuinely considering ex Chelsea pain in the arse to play against Ramires or Nakata for my final midfielder.

He's one of the fastest midfielders I've ever had at FM. Tremendous value for the (high) money in the 2010 game!

[Chakan]

Fun draft either way lads, thanks for the distraction.

Said the most popular comic in draft league history - 😂😂😂

Don’t worry Nicky - I’m dipped in Kaka (Danali Cabali) so you’ll be fine (Sadio & Mo too) 👍🏼⚽️🏆

Well said my friend - might be one of the last great big drafts 👍🏼⚽️

[Trendisnotdestiny]

I was genuinely considering ex Chelsea pain in the arse to play against Ramires or Nakata for my final midfielder.

Absolutely hated him in the moment against LFC, but I always overvalued Ramires as being terribly influential - work rate and pace.  He is in my pantheon of players who either do not get the respect they deserve or are a little early to the career party

HM Son
Dmitri Payet
Wes Sneijder
Ramires
Chiesa Jr

[Linudden]

Fun draft either way lads, thanks for the distraction.

Cheers Chakan hope to see you around soon again

Am I just a clown to you? I’m deadly serious about the business of winning drafts.

Wish I’d picked Ramires now.

[Adz LFC]

All picks have now been verified and added!

A little something for the stattos out there... We ended up with 176 various clubs chosen via 34 different countries - with England having the most clubs represented (31) and Italy the next highest (21)

I think we're just waiting on Lastrador and XabiArt to post their final lineups before moving on

Clowns are scary; you are more of word artist who is pretty pretty good at drafts

Great work mate! Thanks for setting this up.

[Lastrador]

Here it's the final version Adzi.

[XabiArt]

Can someone post this please. Having a bloody mare on my phone here

[XabiArt]

It was supposed to be a nice subtle formation with Lampard pushing on slightly to play off Drogba and Valderrama dropping as a deep lying playmaker.

As it turns out it just looks like I've drawn it after 5 pints.

[Drinks Sangria]

Larsson was one I thought would go, for Helsingborgs. He just about made the cut across his two spells.

I had a few more on my list - Gattuso, Witsel, Pope, Vardy, Cahill, Hubner, Luca Toni, Damiano Tommasi, Roger Hunt, John Toshack, Arnold Muhren, Danny Blind, Frans Thijssen, Nils Liedholm, John Charles (Hereford Utd!), Walter Gargano, Diego Tristan, Juan Carlos Valeron, Minamino, Keisuke Honda, Park Ji-Sung, Antonio Conte, David James, Jonathan Woodgate, Wim Jonk.


Had loads more but there’s a selection of some of the best and the shittest that could have easily ended up as desperation picks.

[Lastrador]

The biggest name I had on my list but couldn’t fit in was Butragueño. Was considering him or Francescoli for the final pick, but Enzo made much more sense in the wide forward position, and besides he’s Uruguayan.

Here you go mate.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Absolutely crazy Shearer wasn't picked, also feel the likes of Ian Wright and Nigel Martyn should have been dead certs. Oh well.

[XabiArt]

It's still mad that Rooney wasnt picked. Sorry but it is.

Shearer always seems undervalued in these drafts, same as Kane who is a goal machine surrounded by comparitively poor players if were honest.

Gattuso didnt play over 50 games for a second team. Was looking at him when I got Fernandinho

[Max_powers]

Yeah Shearer is definitely underrated in drafts.

Rooney just suffers from associated with Everton, Mancs and the elderly. He would make a great false 9/ second striker in most teams.
