looks like Drex and Dean are going with the youth movement

Actually im just going for names im familar with outside of the EPL :lol:

Except Schweinsteiger.. Hes the love of my FM life

by **Drex** on Sat Sep 22, 2007 2:47 pm

Drex's shortlist is sort of... not a shortlist at all

My shortlist is the mother of all short lists. Just two names :lol:

by **J@3** on Sat Sep 22, 2007 4:57 pm

Toni was my next pick

by **Drex** on Sat Sep 22, 2007 6:36 pm

That's what you get for messing with my shortlist :lol:

When will you announce the order of the rest of the draft?

by **J@3** on Sat Sep 22, 2007 6:41 pm

Just updated it now. So far I've lost my top 2 picks for striker to Drex and Mark :lol:

awell, time to go player hunting.

by **Dean** on Sun Sep 23, 2007 3:56 am

i edit my post due to realising my 4:05am drunken self just revealed my next pick (N)

by **Mark.** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:52 am

Sweet due, to a massive snow storm i came back early from my huntng trip, fucking lucky to make it out to be honest.

Anyway Ill be able to make my picks now Jae. Just take whoever you want for your striker pick, im sure I will find someone else that I like.

Its the 6th round that im looking the most forward to

by **Ty-Land** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 1:53 pm

Jae, I will be away for the next couple of days so feel free to pick on my behalf. Your well aware of my lack of football knowledge, so I'm more than willing to trust your guidance.

by **J@3** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 2:15 pm

Alright

I'll try to stick with the theme of your team. So... FM > search > minimum age 30 > striker :lol:

by **JT_55** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 3:36 pm

Ronaldo?! lol what's his weight again? :wink:

Apparently Wikipedia doesn't say it. Maybe to avoid embarrasing the record holder for most career World Cup goals...

by **J@3** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 3:41 pm

He's scored 90 goals in his last 130 games or so and was the second top scorer in the last World Cup... I have no idea why people have decided he sucks now, it really confuses me.

Edit:

Seems to have dropped the weight.

by **Mark.** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 3:44 pm

Yeah I agree, he still has plenty of talent, strikers dont always have to be super fast, I think a reason a lot of people over look him is that he is getting quite old and most seem to think that strikers have to be under 30 to be good :roll:

by **J@3** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 3:46 pm

He's still under 30 in the game lol he's 29. I think because everyone decided he was fat in the World Cup that he's just stuck with the reputation no matter what. He's scored 7 goals in 14 games for AC Milan, I'm not sure Shevchenko has scored 7 goals in total for Chelsea. Anyway he's great in the game, I wouldn't have picked him otherwise.

by **JT_55** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 3:47 pm

I didn't say he sucked, just fat. You know, one can be both good and fat at the same time. Just ask Prince Fielder.

EDIT: Apparently I posted this about 6 minutes late.

Lol well there we go, he even meets the criteria of being under 30, yeah I think he is deffinately still in good form. As for Scheva I find it weird how he hasnt really performed for Chelsea, maybe its just that he doesnt fit well with the EPL style of play.

by **Dean** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 5:13 pm

I went with Lukas Podolski.. should have a good German combo with him and Schweinsteiger (Y)

by **J@3** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 6:09 pm

AHFAEFJPAEOJFAEF!#(R(!#$!!! :lol:

that's the 3rd of my top 3 strikers gone.

by **Dean** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 6:32 pm

Haha, i was suprised he wasnt on the untouchable list.. and that he hadnt been taken already.. Great pick for my team, young, and already good. Plus as i mention would work well with Bastian.

by **J@3** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 9:12 pm

Nick will be joining the game after the draft. He's at a bit of a disadvantage because he's so late but I didn't want to interrupt the draft order at this stage since we're almost finished. He'll have the same undraftable list of players, and will pick his entire team based on whoever's left around the football World lol.

by **Mark.** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 9:22 pm

Awesome, the more the better (Y)

I think there will still be a lot of decent players left out there.

by **Dean** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 9:41 pm

Sweet

Damn you Mark, Robben was on my shortlist.. Was thinking of taking him before i remembered Podolski..

Anyways, i went with Vicente to add more youth and offensive strikepower, and then took Emerson to bolster the midfield for a few seasons.. Pick 4 is good to go (Y)

by **J@3** on Mon Sep 24, 2007 11:37 pm

I think I just made 2 better picks for Ty-Land then I did for myself lol.

by **Nick** on Tue Sep 25, 2007 12:44 am

Leave some good players for me please everyone.

I'm probably gonna take Sergio Ramos and Ronaldo with my firs - wait WHAT?!?! damn!

Also, how long is the draft gonna take? I'm an eager beaver right now.

by **Drex** on Tue Sep 25, 2007 8:32 am

Damn, Nick's back (N)

Just kidding, this will be even cooler. I'll do my best to leave you the shittiest players :mrgreen:

by **J@3** on Tue Sep 25, 2007 5:54 pm

How's everyone's team looking?

Hildebrand

Chivu - Lucio - Mertesacker - Alves

Aimar - van der Vaart - Riquelme - Ribery

Sobis - Fred
