Football Manager Comp (Rules)

[Bjornebye]

I'd like to pick a player before the planet dies please. 

[No2]

One for getting old thread, I haven't heard of half the cunts picked so far. One lad in my own team I found on Google, no idea who he is or what he does.

Sandro Tonali by any chance?

[Lee909]

Fuck knows how much playing time my 4/5/6th strikers will get with my formation. 

 

Mind you i'll probably find it doesn't work and end up going 3-1-6 just to get them all in there

[Captain Turdseye]

Apologies for the delay in the defender draft. Got a lot of stuff going on.

You'll probably be surprised who the AI manager picks...

Yes, Google rate him as a top young midfielder. Good enough for me.

[Captain Turdseye]

Bakayu Saka in the defender draft. Srsly?

 

Edit. Picked simultaneously in the attacker thread. 
 

CONTROVERSY.  What’s Bruce gonna do? Unless they’re different players...

 

At which point I’m gonna reiterate my disapproval of the defender pick.

He going to grow a pair and slap whatever cunt picked him as a defender.

[Lee909]

Yeah I was looking at him but thought he would be a forward. He played at LB a bit last year when breaking in but seems a wide forward. Mind you hasn't that Ajax fullback been allowed in midfield. 

 

 

I don't get how we are deciding what's what with some players 

[The Golden Eel]

I personally think Saka is fair enough in any of the three categories. 

 

Edit - there are worse ones than that already picked.

Don't have a big issue but Im bitter I was denied David Neres as he isn't a midfielder, but a player who is a central  AM is

Yeah, that's a tight call, I'd have probably allowed that seeing as it's suggesting he can play right mid and left mid, with a distinction from the left and right wings. I don't know enough about him to give an informed opinion though.

I think ability comes into it too. Neres is hardly a difference maker, I wouldn't have an issue with that. Some cunt tried to pick Messi in Midfield, his heat map may put him there but that's taking the piss. Saka is a defender in the same way Steven Gerrard was for about 2 weeks.

One of his positions in the game is WBL, so left wing back. So he's definitely acceptable as a defender, in my opinion anyway.

I'd already run this past the boss via PM. He was happy.

 

He's a natural WBL in game.

He’s been Arsenal’s best forward for about a year.

In that case, it's your turn on the attackers @No2

@Bruce Spanner - I can swap my pick if it'll make things easier for yourself/the draft.

No, we're good.

 

He can and has played there, like moving Bale forward, he's still a left back at heart...

I was denied Messi in the midfield pick when he can play as ACM.

 

Fixed to fuck this.

 

Pay offs galore that even the League Managers Lunch Club would be proud of.

Thats fighting talk.

With a guranteed 6 points a season from my team.
