I voted Alex. It came down to Barnes, for me. He played on the left. I get he may have been brilliant on the right, had he played there for a prolonged period, however, to my knowledge, he didn't. 

 

The difficulty of these drafts is trying to plan your team and react to what others have done. Sticking a star name out of position, to get a star name in, always loses points for me. 

 

I also think, whilst both very good teams, Alex has a lot more quality in midfield, that would lead to his team controlling game.

Yeah the reactionary element is the fun part I think. Surprised more don’t play: every game is like a little puzzle / brain teaser.

 

Great game all. Always a pleasure.

I thought Alex' late Berbatov pick was inspired, even though I have always hated that shit cunt. That plus securing probably the 2 best players of that era in the first round while the rest of us dicks were securing the best players from the weaker nations. 

 

I really like the keeper and defense for ARdja and some of his later round picks such as Barnes, Stam and Lizarazu were fantastic picks

Yeah I went last so as I couldn’t get any of the value picks (Rush; M Laudrup; Giggs etc) had to gamble even though there were some greats ( just not as greats still left). Raul was my favourite pick as Spain was a pretty barren group I thought. Berbatov was as far from the Klopp-mould as possible, but so supremely elegant he could do anything on his day (see: Old Trafford hat trick)


Barnes was a great pick. As said before what an unEngland player: A player before his time in this country. Wouldn’t be out of place with Brazil greats.
