 Mikey has a really good side and there can be hardly a fault found in his side but I love what betty has conjured with  his side. Difficult decision

Still in with a chance of the threepeat!

Love Betty’s balance, but ultimately think he lacks the finishing quality so is ultimately reliant on Ronaldo.

Think that tips this match-up in my favour.

Imo nothing in your side is stopping Ronaldo from finishing his chances.

Three world class players with great technical ability? What question marks?

Compared to Kinkladze?

Kinklazde was a skillful little player who mixed it well but betty also has zanetti who would be great cover. something about pires and totti, never really liked either player to be honest

zanetti was key here though, swap him for totti and i'd probably vote for you

just cant see totti doing the versatile work zanetti could

call me crazy but i might even gone with totti up front and pele wide in totti's position there

Moaning? No I was resigned to defeat and blaming it on the shenanigans, in a purely piss-taking way.

I mean six points down was over in my books given the numbers of votes we’ve been getting.

Congrats MIkey for another run and congratulations  to Betty for winning the lot, Ronaldo, my favorite player of all time, it's only right his side wins :D

Hope you all enjoyed the draft and had fun, good luck to whoever runs the next footie draft.  :)

Congrats Betty! Two great teams in the final. I recall during the first few picks that you mentioned you had undertaken a google deep dive in to 5v5 tactics, and it looks like that paid off for you!

Also thanks to DeFacto for running this draft, it's been a good one!  :thumbup

Have to admit, I voted for Betty in every round up until now, such great balance compared to most sides. A worthy winner.

Cheers mate! I definitely wasn't looking forward to facing your side. Sorry I wasn't about to partake in the GIF battles above. I was out of house all day socially distancing myself from the world!

I know Ronaldo was a huge pick, but I really think Zanetti was the big one. He would be absolutely monstrous at 5-a-side.

Thanks for the great work running the draft, mate. It's really appreciated by all I'm sure. Battle of the (headfuck) Nations II incoming soon......

Haha yeah, might have got a bit too into the whole thing  :D  I think that's the beauty of drafting though, which sometimes gets lost in standard footy drafts. Having done so many of them now, it's easy to get a bit jaded and forget about the joy of tactics etc. This one was a breath of fresh air. So double thanks to defacto for making it happen.

Have to admit, I voted for Betty in every round up until now, such great balance compared to most sides. A worthy winner.

Pretty sure I voted for yours and Defacto's team in every round two. Some great teams in this.
