suggestions for a good formation our team can run? We're sorta confused between 2-3 formations and we don't really know which one to run. I understand that we prolly have to bench Podolski, and I'm fine with that, but after that I'm still trying to figure out if I should play Villa and Huntelaar together or Villa behind Huntelaar?

08-03-2009 , 08:43 PM
Ugh got 2 LB and cant decide which one to have, please let one be picked in the next 2 picks.
08-03-2009 , 08:46 PM
While I research, anyone interested in trading up for the current pick?

Don't look at us, we already have a LB.

Pranjic already? Seriously? You've gotta be ****ing kidding me...GAHHHHH!!!!!

He is a very underrated player, very versatile and he'll do whatever's asked of him. LB, LW, DM, whatever it takes to win. I can't say enough good things about the guy.

**** me, I thought he'd be around at least 2 rounds from now. Didn't think Srna would go so early either.

This is clearly an anti-Geddy Lee conspiracy theory. I should've just asked for a clause that allowed me to draft the entire Croatian starting XI.

Alright, after more careful deliberation, Team Wrane/72off are proud to select...

...with the 177th pick...

...from Galatasaray...

...and the Turkish national team...



oh hai der! Arda Turan!!!

Team:

- - - - Zarate - - - - - - Klose - - - -
- - - - - - - - - Diego - - - - - - - - -
Arteta - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Turan
- - - - - - - - Tymoschuk - - - - - - -
Clichy - - - CB - - - - Ferdinand - - RB
- - - - - - - - - - GK - - - - - - - - - - -

Thoughts from the peanut gallery?

Good value. One of the BAP's imo..Turan would have been our pick last round except we needed a CAM as opposed to someone more comfortable wider. Dangerous player, creative, and can score goals. Adding him to Diego Tymo and Arteta gives you one of the stronger midfields in the league imo.

With Ferdinand locking down the back I like your team overall. If you had slightly better strikers I'd say your team might be one of the very very best. As it is, I can't imagine you could have taken anyone that would help your team as much as Turan.

Your team is shaping up to be (imo) one of the top 7 or so teams in the league for sure.
08-04-2009 , 01:29 AM
cool
08-04-2009 , 01:43 AM
For the sake of discussion, I eyeballed the teams really quickly to try to come up with my top 7 (I know 7 is an arbitrary number but whatever) so far.

Thus far, and without painstakingly comparing every team to every other team, the quick eyeball test says these are my favorite squads:

shox
silentbob
cashy
wrane/72
tsc
sergz
Me and Etats (obv)
