    As many of you are aware, over the past two months there has been an football world draft occurring where members have been drafting a starting 11 and a manager... now it's time to vote for the winner!

    The voting system will be a H2H competition where members will vote for what they believe is the better team. Just bold the member who you think has the better team. They'll be 24 hours to get your votes in per match. I'll post the teams at the start of each individual battle

    Any discussions, please keep in here

    Match A: Kata

    Match B: Eds

    1st match closer than the 2nd.

    KATA
    Eds

    Eds' team blows Marinero's out of the water. Other than Messi, Eds team is pretty much better man-for-man too. Gotta be one of the early favourites IMO.
     
  6. Weeman27bob BE Force

    This please.
     
  7. Lukic L Popovic

    Eds

    Eds has close to the best team if not the best and Mariner's team would be on the other side of the spectrum.

    I expect Kata to beat me although I think it should be closer than it will end up being. That attacking midfield is so gun. Can definitely see him struggling to score with Suker up front who really isn't much.
     
  8. Jager LO Townsend

    Bias pulls me towards KATA and its very close, but I think Lukic's team is better, so got to vote for him.

    Eds for the other
     
  9. Alex AJ O'Driscoll

    Lukic

    Eds
     
  10. Riddy JH Ridd

    Lukic

    Eds
     
  11. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    Hristo can do all the scoring for him if necessary. Nedved/Zidane/Stoichkov is all kinds of good.
     
  12. Eds E Ames

    Yeah, KATA for me but it was very close. That midfield three is just incredible - Zidane would be in my greatest XI of all-time, and Nedved's one of my favourites. Stoichkov was also incredible. Lukic just has one too many weak links - would've been interesting had he competed from the start.
     
  13. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    Yeah - bang on the money for me. The defensive lines for both are pretty solid, though I'm marginally favouring KATA there (mainly as Sergi >>> Abidal, IMO)

    With the midfields though, I definitely prefer KATA's. By enough to overcome the fact that Lukic has the superior strike force.

    Agreed about the picking order though - if you take that into account...
     
  14. Cevno IV Narang

    Hmm.. interesting.

    Eds
    comfortably in the second one. I like his team's balance and workability but Mariner has about 4 players who really shouldn't have been picked.
     
  15. Cevno IV Narang

    The First one is much closer. Tough to separate actually.

    Don't like KATA's Cb Combo that much as they are too similar for mine and Suker is not the best striker in this but his midfield and the fullbacks is very good.

    As for Lukic, overall he probably has the better collection of players but not sure about it's workability that much. Both Veron and Rui Costa needed the team to be built around them to be at their best, so not sure how they'll work in the narrow midfield with each other. And also have doubts in terms of which one of Henry and Ronaldo will stick to the middle.

    Gonna give it to KATA slightly due to the keeper and manager. Barthez always good to do something eccentric and cost a goal compared to Kahn.

    This for me as well. The first one is quite close and I think Lukic came up with a very good team considering the circumstances. Kata just about takes it.

    First round exit for me. :p

    KATA

    KATA

    Mariner so I get at least one vote.

    Eds

    Jealous of Lukic's striking duo (regret not picking someone like Drogba instead of Suker - probably overvalued how good his record was in the big international tournaments in the 90's), think I have the edge on defense and midfield though.

    That attacking 3 :wub:
     
  20. HeathDavisSpeed HT Davis

    Pfft. Suker the better player IMO. Just not the best choice to play as a lone striker. I'd have been tempted to play a different structure and have Stoichkov playing upfront just off Suker.
