RAWK's biggest football hipster strikes again. Hazell has cracked the ultimate draft formula here. Step 1: draft a sexy Argie or Brazilian legend. Step 2: fill your team with hipster players. Step 3: profit.
Man for man, I actually think Lawnmower has better players. Candela, Jones, Mendieta, Trezeguet, Di Natale are all good players who have achieved hipster status through various means and people remember fondly while elevating them well beyond their actual level. Older players like Chumpitaz, Dzajic, Aldridge, and Conti are sadly always overlooked. It's been a problem in RAWK drafting since the dawn of time. And when teams with these players lose in finals it only compounds the issue because it makes others all pick more hipster players and less older players. I do it too. My first instinct was to vote for Hazell because I love all these players having grown up with them, but in reality Jones vs Dzajic and Candela vs Conti is a slaughter. Two of the greatest wingers ever versus two good fullbacks. Jones was a huge fave of mine, but the truth is he never reached his potential thanks to injuries. I also like Candela a lot, but Conti is in the best wingers of his era, Candela wasn't even the best French left back in his. Hard luck, LM. Just draft some more hipsters next time.
