Best runner up being the one with the most votes in a losing cause? There might be better teams who just come up against a really strong one although not much you can do about that I guess!

I like Draex’s team but think it lacks a bit of balance - Dybala as a RM, the already weak-pick of De Sciglio played on the wrong side etc. Nice strikers though and Nedved was a workhorse.

I think my team maybe has less star quality but is more put together with players in their correct positions, defined roles in a specific tactical system.

Hazell · « **Reply #607 on:** November 21, 2024, 07:20:59 pm »

Thanks Nicholls.

Looking at Card Cheat's team, I might be a bit fucked here.

The matches aren't even up yet

De Sciglio played 101 times at left back and 161 times at right back, that's not out of position. When he was voted in the team of the season he played half the games at left back v's right back.

Dybala is playing as a roaming high right forward as Zanetti was a one man right side of the pitch monster.

Perfecto balanceio.

Cheers Nicholls.

Ive played a fair few drafts now but i'm never prepared for how difficult it is to split the teams. its almost always very close.

surfer. Fuck you generator. · « **Reply #613 on:** November 22, 2024, 06:15:40 am »

There's seemingly a trend here where posters try to pick great fullbacks and just fit in good players in attack with no wide attacking / 1v1 qualities. That's one way to do it but it's kinda obvious (at least to me) that you are asking a lot of heavy lifting to penetrate and stretch (haha) from just 2 players, which simply isn't practical in a real game.

Samie · « **Reply #614 on:** November 22, 2024, 03:33:12 pm »

Build from the front and just like my women I like top heavy front.

And ropey at the back?

Samie · « **Reply #616 on:** November 22, 2024, 03:42:20 pm »

We've drafted with each other way too long mate...

Popcorn · « **Reply #617 on:** November 22, 2024, 05:54:26 pm »

Here's my team if you need it Nicholls - Cheers.

Went into the draft wanting to base my team and system on Conte's record breaking Juventus squad and got pretty damn close. Would have loved to see how Di Natale would have done with that squad but have to respect his loyalty to Udinese.

The next set of fixtures are now live:

surfer vs Samie
red1977 vs Corrie Nick

NICHOLLS · « **Reply #619 on:** November 24, 2024, 10:13:49 am »

Last two fixtures will be up after our game.

Quarter finals Monday night.

NICHOLLS · « **Reply #620 on:** November 26, 2024, 09:42:56 am »

3 teams got 8 votes, but lost... I will create a poll now, however, not a 24 hour poll, we'll take the poll result at 5pm.

NICHOLLS · « **Reply #621 on:** November 26, 2024, 07:19:41 pm »

The first two quarter-finals are up:

I will set up the 2nd set of QFs later this morning.

RE: votes, I did have the voting settings so you could change your vote (as your opinion could be changed after discussion in the thread). I will remove this setting from the semi finals onwards as some have raised their concern about cheating.

Semi finals are now up and live:

Will do now, yesterday's game took over my whole Sunday
