I'm sure Gascoigne and Klopp would work perfectly...

red1977 · « **Reply #601 on:** March 24, 2024, 09:00:14 pm »

Will change mine now too.

Change from Zanetti to Wim Suurbier 345 league games for Ajax. https://www.transfermarkt.com/wim-suurbier/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/95153

Sorry Betty, please update the list when you get chance.

Betty Blue · « **Reply #602 on:** March 24, 2024, 09:41:27 pm »

Thanks for being good sports, lads. Not sure Sarge will feel quite the same when he gets online

Will make my pick shortly, just dealing with something behind the scenes...

Betty Blue · « **Reply #603 on:** March 24, 2024, 10:04:46 pm »

I just realised I am very stupid and BT Sport are obviously a sports company, duh. So can't be used for my intended TV advert pick. Need a quick re-think

red1977 · « **Reply #604 on:** March 24, 2024, 10:07:44 pm »

Sorry for the mix up. i am going with Vogts over Suurbier.

One thing RAWK Drafting has been elite at always is finding loopholes and bending the rules.

It's Vogts, but I doubt Suurbier is lasting much longer

If there's any more fall-out from these changed picks then we might need to revert them though!

p.s. To be clear, the picks that were removed from earlier rounds (Zanetti and Marcelo tbc) aren't available to anyone else.

I remember that time we had a category where you could pick a player who had been relegated and some smart arse researcher managed to discover Zidane got relegated with Cannes and picked him several rounds in.

Betty Blue · « **Reply #610 on:** March 24, 2024, 11:11:15 pm »

Last few "Heavy Metal" picks have all been top notch, as well as the write-ups. Great stuff guys

Sarge · « **Reply #611 on:** March 25, 2024, 01:06:44 am »

Gazza was picked as a player born in 67' criteria does not state he needs to be a Klopp player?

Think he was just kidding around. However, I'm afraid you need to replace Marcelo in Cat 7 because you picked a non-European player.

It's in the rules that it needed to be a European player -

Quote from: Betty Blue on March 17, 2024, 08:54:48 pm

[7] A European player who made at least 325 league appearances for one club.

Red1977 and Popcorn have already changed theirs.

Drinks Sangria · « **Reply #613 on:** March 25, 2024, 08:22:37 am »

Yaya Toure a phenomenal pick this late.

I have to agree Torres would’ve been right up Klopp’s street.

Draex · « **Reply #614 on:** March 25, 2024, 08:57:25 am »

Yaya with or without cake.. That is the question.

Cheers mate. Irwin was class, one of the few mancs I don't mind.

Samie + Prof have long since missed their window. Will PM DS now.

He was available in other categories, but definitely not in this one. Be grateful I'm not airing the scandalous 'evidence' I was sent via PM this morning

Feel like Reiziger doesn’t get much love in drafts but he was a really good full back in the 90s and 00s.

vivabobbygraham · « **Reply #626 on:** March 25, 2024, 06:09:11 pm »

Apologies. I've just posted. Need some time to source a right back. Can't believe the lack of love on here for Coutinho.

Thanks mate. Yeah Torres would have been brilliant under Klopp

There's one more player who's terrific who hasn't been picked yet. Got a feeling Betty will pick him up from category 3.

Sarge · « **Reply #628 on:** March 25, 2024, 06:14:25 pm »

Denis Irwin is without doubt in the top 5 Full Backs of the PL Era. And in European terms too.

Lastrador · « **Reply #630 on:** March 25, 2024, 06:29:01 pm »

Zola is a great pick. Especially at this stage. There are still a couple of worldies that haven't been picked.

I thought hard about picking him, but the way he departed left a bit of a bitter taste for me. Plus his career going down the pan after. Still a good pick at this stage though.

You could probably make a very competitive team from the leftovers. Personally, I've been drafting for what would be make a good Klopp team, so I've swerved a few of them on purpose.

Oh yeah

I was going to pick him but already have a player covered in that position.

Drinks Sangria · « **Reply #634 on:** March 25, 2024, 06:59:39 pm »

Coutinho is one of the most naturally gifted players I’ve ever seen ply at Anfield, and he was up there with Suarez almost for ‘something out of nothing’ moments. If we’re brutal though, he only ever actually played anywhere near his best at Espanyol and Liverpool, perhaps about 6 months at Villa. His Liverpool career was - similar to Torres - not the zenith trophy wise but in terms of his own personal performances and adoration from a fanbase, he never had it so good.

Musketeer Gripweed · « **Reply #635 on:** March 25, 2024, 07:06:58 pm »

Zola was on my wishlist that I knew i wouldn't get today.

Do we have to pick a captain for our team as well at the end?

Cracking player, but now he's gone i do actually have a back up plan. Just means I have to juggle my Sacchi selection a wee bit.
