Confederations Cup Draft Prediction League Draw

[Mus]

Okay so with the first match due on the 15th June I think it's time to start picking players.

The rules will be 5 a side, goals and assists are worth 1 point each, we'll run the snake format thing like used in the normal draft and here's the list of players who said they would play in a randomized order for the draft.

Arnau
Mandieta6
Mus
Dytza
Sir Didier Drogba
1966+2006
Fender

zyreq
Xaviesta

Any last takers/withdrawals?

Also here's a link to the original thread

I am going to start this on Saturday if there are no objections?

 

[yoyo913]

About Sir Didier Drogba...

 

[Mus]

When does he return?

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I'll try to be around.

Do we have to pick a gk, two defenders and two attackers, or can we just pick any five players?

 

[Mus]

Any five, I'll make a thread in a few hours

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Haha I just realized that Tahiti are playing in this, i wonder if anyone will have the balls to select a player from there?

 

[Arnau]

When can i pick Neymar?

 

[Mus]

Sorry guys it was my birthday and I didn't manage to get around to doing it, I'll do it now

 

[Mus]

It would help if i was able to create a new thread??

 

[Arnau]

Happy Birthday!

 

[Mus]

Cheers man, also you can PM your pick to a person to place it for you and PM the person after you when it's their go so we can get this done ASAP

 

[Arnau]

Good pick Pedro, i thought i could have him in the second round. That bitch will probably end up as Confe cup top scorer.

EDIT: Xabi Alonso isn't playing the tournament, Fender. He is injured.

 

[yoyo913]

Is there a site with all the players going?

edit: Found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_FIFA_Confederations_Cup_squads
Damn, it's not complete.

 

[Xaviesta]

Good pick Pedro, i thought i could have him in the second round. That bitch will probably end up as Confe cup top scorer.

EDIT: Xabi Alonso isn't playing the tournament, Fender. He is injured.

Yeah, great pick. I wanted him too. In the last 12 games he has 10 goals and 6 assists, something like that.

 

[Back Door Skip]

Was Xabi Alonso even called up?

 

[Arnau]

No

 

[yoyo913]

We shouldn't have it 5 picks. The last person is at a disadvantage and the first at an advantage. It should be an even number, I suggest 6.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I dont think there enough players to pick from to make it more than five.

How much are teams going to care about this? Are they likely to field their best players?

 

[Back Door Skip]

Teams normally take it seriously enough to bring their A squad, so there's that.
