Congratulations KingLuis, almost a comeback there from Hazell at the death!
I very much enjoyed setting up the draft and fucking with all your heads throughout, so I'm glad you all got a lot from it as well
(Katie Price* excepted).
I do think I failed on a number of points and perhaps over/under-strengthened certain sides, but I couldn't control EVERYTHING.
*Liverpool were always a double-edged sword and I meant them to be that way. The point of the wildcards was actually not to weaken your side but help you make the decisions that needed to be made to create an all-time Liverpool side. Instead, you tried to pump in as many attacking stars as possible and completely unbalanced the side. The great Liverpool sides of the 70s and 80's were built on defence. Not attack. A back three was almost detrimental. I don't think you'd have won it in any case, but you'd have certainly gone a lot further had there been more balance with the side in line with how Liverpool set up in those great days.
As an aside, I'd love to do a draft league season with all these sides, allowing for some re-balancing of Liverpool, AC Milan, and others. The final outcome could be fascinating. I have to say also that I think Barcelona were probably beaten by the only side in this whole draft with a tough enough midfield to dominate and win. But those are the breaks with these drafts.
Anyway, thank you all for taking part. I've got another two draft ideas for later in the new year, but none as crazy as this one!
