SG's Ultimate Draft Challenge 2015

[Filipower]

No problemo at all, I just came in for a sec anyway, cheers!


How many rounds will this be?

 

[ShiftyPowers]

I think just 18. When we've done more in the past it's been a real long slog.

Anyway, I'm thrilled to get Muller. I haven't had him in a few years because Az always takes him, but he is really just an incredible player and as far as I'm concerned much more valuable than the 34th best player in the world. It's not the best metric in the world, but The Guardian's top 100 list at the end up 2014 put him at #5. He's just so so good, such a tough competitor. I'm just amazed that no one else wanted him.

 

[Xaviesta]

Fuck, Muller was the first on my list. Really thought Ronaldo-Muller would have been great. Aguero-Muller is awesome too.

 

[Mandieta6]

And I thought Muller might last for me in the 6th round when I'm finally done with my defense. Surely I should get a right of first refusal?

This is why I don't like making lists for the first few rounds. I thought Mascherano and Pique might still be there in the 3rd. I'm just gonna wait for my turn and look at the list only then.

Aguero and Muller is awesome but its success is very dependent on getting a good playmaker behind them. Otherwise there's not much point.

 

[Juventino]

I hoped I could pick Griezmann again this year. Damn.

There are lots of good playmakers

 

[Mandieta6]

Sure, for now.

 

[kp41]

Muller lasted long ...

 

[4ndr3i]

Muller could have been available in the 7th round and I still wouldn't have picked him. He's such a weird player.

 

[Mandieta6]

If Muller had been picked in the 1st I would not have been surprised.

 

[ShiftyPowers]

Isn't Xif in London now? This is a pretty big delay in the middle of the day if so.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I presume he is working, hopefully he'll be online shortly after five (in an hour and a half).

I considering picking Muller with my first pick, but I fancied the challenge of building a team around iniesta.

 

[4ndr3i]

Muller is unique, I'll give you that. He's the football version of a mutt, one part striker, one part winger, one part attacking midfielder but he's not a top 10 in any particular position. He's just an all round hybrid that somehow makes it work. For that I'm not fond of him and wouldn't want him in my team.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Alright were coming into that period where both Europeans and even the west Coast yanks should all be awake so let's try and make a big push over the next few hours

 

[Xifio]

was at Wimbledon ... phone died ...

Mus has his revenge for Pogba; Griezmann was my next pick ... moved De Bruyne up from the 3rd round to the 2nd ...

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

Are you just having a colossal holiday in britain?

If so, good!

 

[Xifio]

lol, pretty much ... professionals here get 6 times as much statutory leave as in the States ... I'm just making the most of it ...

 

[ShiftyPowers]

At least your explanation left no doubt that I wouldn't get De Bruyne in the next round.

 

[Mandieta6]

I was sure Shifty would be upset.
