Here we go again, the greatest review show in the world Seriously though, this thread is just opinions and its made to get people talking, the more interest we can get the better people will be at keeping up with picks Round 1 Gazza - Lionel Messi Lukic - Cristiano Ronaldo Samuel Vimes - Iniesta Tkp - Xavi Baxter - Fabregas Jabba - Aguero Benny - Vidic Mariner - RVP Speirz - Falcao Cabinet96 - Ibrahimovic Mouse - Suarez McGrath - Rooney BigGuns - Bale Cevno - Mata Eddie - Lampard Eds - Hazard Zohaib , Ribery Arheiner - David Silva Weeman27bob - Thiago Silva GOAT - Ozil Frizzed - Cavani Goalkeepers : 0 Defenders : 2 Midfielders : 11 Strikers: : 8 Best: Messaldo Can't split them, not one bit, both by far the best players in the world. Both the ultimate players to build teams around, variation in ability, versatility and just class. Worst: Ribery Obviously when you're talking about the first round, you don't have bad players, and in that sense it's hard to give out a "worst" pick. The only think this comes down to is I looked at a couple of players who were all potentials and I thought, who is the one least likely to really fight for something when needed, whose going to work hard and gel into the team.
I could have predicted exactly how the draft would go 1-2 Mesnaldo 3-5 Barca Spine 6-21 Attacking third players with very few key player backs
Agree with much of that. I struggled with my first pick. I picked Vidic because Mesaldo and the barca spine got taken before I could nab one and I felt I was better served taking IMO the best CB in the game today who provides a quality leadership option also.
Gun stuff. Would have Messi as best pick, Vidic for worst pick personally. Harsh on Benny but as you say, hard to pick one in the first round. Don't think he's near the best CB in the world, tbh.
Ye, those two other CB's that were picked directly after him do show poor judgement Theres nothing wrong with using a first round pick to get potentially the best in the world at a specific position You could easily argue Fabregas isn't as good as Aguero, RVP or Falcao, should that be a bad pick as well?
Marcuss I just disagree that hes not one of the top couple in the world, but im not going to have a go at you for your difference in that opinion
Top couple maybe. But Benny could have waited until Round 2, and got another CB also in the top couple whilst getting RVP/Falcao instead of whoever he ended up getting R2.
I'm surprised you didn't try and argue that tbh. But I don't think any of the other players picked in R1 are necessarily directly comparable to Fabregas. I picked him rather than Falcao/RVP because of my long-term draft plan. I could play one of 20 people upfront but I wanted Cesc as my link man.
I think theres a lot less real elite level CB's around than strikers If he would of used his 2nd round on a top striker instead of a keeper I think he could of done better than letting Vidic potentially go. That didn't end up coming to pass anyway But even now with that in mind, would I rather have Vidic or Ribery in my team? Vidic for sure
Round 2 Frizzed - Gotze Goat - Neymar Weeman27bob - Lahm Arheiner - Xabi Alonso Zohaib - Robben Eds - Pirlo Eddie - Ramos Cenvo - Schweinsteiger BigGuns - Dzeko McGrath - Pique Mouse - Gerrard Cabinet96 - Busquets Speirz - Yaya Toure Mariner - Kompany Benny - Casillias Jabba - Benzema Baxter - De Rossi TKP - Higuain Samuel Vimes - Neuer Lukic - Lucas Moura Gazza - Thomas Muller Goalkeepers - 2 Defenders - 4 Midfielders - 11 Attackers - 4 Best: Yaya Toure - To get Yaya half way through the 2nd round is a great bit of business. The best box to box midfielder in the world. He is a teams entire spine, just on his own. Strength and engine of a tractor. Worst : Edin Dzeko - There was more than one contender for worst, which is surprising given the round that we're in. Ultimatley the ball drops with Dzeko. To look at every single player that was done after Dzeko and then back at him, it brings tears to my eyes. Even if you wanted that specific type of striker, not just striker in general, there are better target men esque strikers around still. Honourable mention to the keeper selections in round two even though you could of probably held it another round or so. But they're both the top level keepers so they're not ever going to get worst picks
