Hildebrand

Chivu - Lucio - Mertesacker - Alves

Aimar - van der Vaart - Riquelme - Ribery

Sobis - Fred

8-)


Thats a pretty good team right there on paper. Only concern is the defensive presence in the midfield as I dont remember quite well whether VDV or Roman can win a ball.

Yeah that's a good point, it's an ultra attacking team. I might have to pick up a defensive midfielder just to cover myself. When I simmed the friendlies, the first match started with a line-up of...

Hildebrand

Chivu - Lucio - Mertesacker - Alves

Aimar - van der Vaart - Riquelme - Ribery

Cassano - Mutu

So they actually picked the team I intended, minus Fred and Sobis. In that game Chivu scored twice and Riquelme had 3 assists, but god knows what'll happen once I pick a manager for them.

Hernan Crespo drafted in round 13? Is he that bad in FM 07? Of course, he's 32, but he fits well with Ty-Land's overall scheme.

Crespo's actually ineligible now that you mention him, he's only on loan from Chelsea... but it's a 2 year loan, is everyone alright with him being picked or should we re-take it?

Wikipedia wrote:After the end of the English and Italian league seasons in the summer of 2007, it was announced that Crespo's career with Chelsea had effectively ended, after Chelsea confirmed that it would not exercise its option to recall Crespo.


So I think that it means he gone...

Alright cool, can we start getting the picks in faster guys? This has been going for over 2 weeks now lol, we only have like 3 rounds left. We could get them done in 2 days if we were quick.

2 days! Wow, you're a dreamer. The time difference as well as various absences are really making this last a while. The actual gameplay will seem real fast in comparison when it is on its way.

I reckon it could be done. The only person with a time difference is Drex, I'm not gonna bag Dean for not picking when he was here earlier :lol: but had he done, Mark and I would've picked and we'd be back to Dean for the last actual player round. Then again once we're done with the youth players and managers, Nick has to pick an entire team so that might take a while.

Did Dean vanish or something? Otherwise his understanding of 'be back soon' is very different from my own. Come back Dean, we miss you

Damn that round was a bit tougher, ended up taking a few future prospects, not sure if they were the best option or not.

Anyway, hows everyone's squads looking? Mine so far:

GK:
Oscar Ustari
Artur Boruc
Marco Amelia


DC:
Gabriel Milito
Andrea Barzagli
Ze Castro
Phillipe Mexes
Daniel Van Buyten


WB:
Philipp Lahm
Andoni Iraola
Valon Behrami
Taye Taiwo


MC/DMs:
Daniele De Rossi
Xavi

AMs:
Arjen Robben

Andres Guardado
Andres Iniesta
Carlos Javier Acuña

Rodrigo Palacio
Alexandre Pato
Vincenzo Iaquinta
Bojan

Looks like ive got quite a young team, I think my oldest player is 30 and there aint many close to them, lets hope this is a long term thing so my youth pays off :D
