Fantasy Tournament: World Cup All-Time All-Stars

[antohan]

That is one issue but the biggest one is that he doesn't really work in a midfield two with an AM, he needs that 4-3-3 with a DM (or two DM's for Spain in truth). Both me and Gio have seen that first hand so he'll be aware of the risks. I won the last all time draft in spite of Xavi, he was actually a detriment to me the whole way which is crazy for how good he is - but the truth is he needs that correct system, which I wasn't prepared to give him.

I always think that criticism of Xavi is mental, he didn't fit into the Barcelona side, he defined it and it was built around him. Iniesta gets away with zero criticism despite being the one of the two who has a system that fits him perfectly.

Read the bolded and you may figure out it has never been a case of criticising Xavi.

 

[antohan]

I pick Nilton Santos.

I almost skipped Czibor for him although I had never planned to get him. How he was still around was beyond me.

 

[Moby]

Yeah given Facchetti went at the start of Round 2, this is a steal.

Yeah given Facchetti went at the start of Round 2, this is a steal.

I assume it's more a case of people going for European defenders to leave room for South American forwards and AMs. There's the WC winning factor too. Facchetti -and you all know how much I rate him- wouldn't go before Santos in a WC themed draft, clearly.

I think we'll get this reaction a lot in the next 2 rounds, some really team defining picks coming up, imo.

I just hope my next pick is safe

Yeah but that wasn't the peak, 98 was. You have just picked my favourite player and decided to gamble with him! It aches.

Yes. Thuram in any WC draft has to play RB.

Paceme 1. Platini 2. Rijkaard 3. Djalma Santos 4. Thuram ​

What are you playing at? You know the great Thuram of 98 was a RB, right? Or did you get the wrong Santos? That would be too funny.

[crappycraperson]

But using Thuram as CB using his 98 peak isn't the same as playing Cryuff as an AM using 74 WC?

 

[paceme]

Nah I didn't. Feeling a back five is this draft. Thuram will fit nicely in that, maybe there are better options but since I actually have a decent working knowledge of Thurman so in my head it works.

 

[Theon]

Unlucky Rpitroda, Blanc would have been perfect there

 

[Thisistheone]

Scirea and Gentile. Very nice.

This is speeding up so hopefully a quick turnaround now.

There is no point getting too bothered over this because everyone has interpreted the rules differently

Or me, I'm fecking miles away so I think you are all pretty safe sending a couple of options. Mind, the way this is going I'm afraid my next pick is a goner soon. Bollocks. Wankers. You are all going to wind up playing with no midfield at this rate. I thought I would never see the day when fullbacks would get snapped this early. I remember picking Facchetti 5th in the all-time draft and someone going "uh, that's pretty early for a fullback, people don't give a shit about fullbacks".

 

[crappycraperson]

I have Cal's pick. Will post it once Pol has made his

 

[antohan]

Lot of defenders going

You started it!

 

[Cal?]

Pol hasn't been online for a while... anyway, crappy has my next pick (if Pol doesn't steal it).

Ridiculous amounts of defenders went this round
