LJB723 0 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I have an idea... I have an idea!As one of our subs, we're allowed to bring in one 'foreign signing', who has played in any European team since 1992!What do you say??I kind of like this because in general I prefer European football. But if you get to put Zidane in your team I'll quit in protest. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 This Euro signing...just not sure...Opens the door for lots to happenA real can of worms...It'll also change the complexion of the entire draft if we all get to have a random superstar. Link to post Share on other sites
KDawgCometh 2 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Not a fan of the euro signingalso, I think we should do full evaluations after the subs round. There are a few changes I may want to make to my side depending on what I do in the subs round. my whole goal has been to go for a balanced attacking side to where you don't know exactly where the goals will specifically come from Link to post Share on other sites
James D 0 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 Well, both polls have it as 1st - 4, 2nd - 5, 3rd - 2.Surprisingly similar, even the percentages.And what is going on now? Are we going ahead with the subs picks? I think there's a couple who're waiting until after their subs to post full team/squad analysis which is fair enough, so we need to get the ball rolling again... Jam-Fly, we need you to do the honours really. Link to post Share on other sites
Jam-Fly 8 Posted April 16, 2009 Author Share Posted April 16, 2009 Okay, there's two left to do a team analysis in the picks thread, but I guess if you wanna wait until subs are picked, that's fine (I'll be making a 2nd one after we pick subs).Just about the order, what's everyone's preference? Continue on as is, or new order? Or random order every round?Oh, and just to clarify, we are picking 7 subs (at least one goalkeeper). Players must have played 40+ Prem games. The overall team will be judged on how well it would do in one season of the Premiership. No manager is being picked. Personally, I am not in favour of a European sub, and based on others opinions, I think the majority of us are not in favour of it. Like Mercury said, opens up a whole new can of worms.

mrpaddyx 13 Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 I'll try and get my team analysis up tonight or some time tommorow. Link to post Share on other sites

Like Mercury said, opens up a whole new can of worms.The European signing is quite easy.. just pick one guy from any European side since 1992. I thought it would be interesting, but fair enough, if the concensus is no... let's leave it then.With the subs, why don't we do a random order each time? Just to change things up basically.

Mercury69 3 Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Well, I'm OK with the Euro signing, but I think we could use some parameters above and beyond having played for a club since 1992. I would strongly suggest a minimum of 100 (or even 200) total matches played in Europe at the club level SINCE 1992. You might think this narrows the field too much, but I can tell you that almost everyone worth picking will still be available. Look at it this way: Who wouldn't want Marco Van Basten on their club? Well, his career on the pitch ended in 92-93 (14 matches), so it would skew results if people were factoring in Van Basten in his prime when, in fact, you're "only" getting the Van Basten who scored 13 goals lol.Anyway...anyone have any ideas on how to finetune this "controversial" suggestion?

Jam-Fly 8 Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 OK, random order for subs rounds:Round 1: 2, 4, 5, 3, 6, 1, 7 Round 2: 1, 4, 2, 5, 7, 3, 6 Round 3: 1, 6, 2, 3, 7, 5, 4 Round 4: 7, 4, 1, 5, 2, 6, 3 Round 5: 6, 5, 1, 7, 4, 3, 2 Round 6: 7, 6, 3, 2, 5, 1, 4 Round 7: 1, 3, 6, 4, 7, 2, 5 So looks like I get first pick on subs I suppose no point in waiting around, I'll make my pick and PM mrpaddy to make his pick.

Jam-Fly 8 Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 okay, I'm kinda obsessive compulsive about stuff like this, but paddy and KDawg, would ye mind making a post of yer final 11s in the Picks thread? You can edit take your time and edit the post if u want, but at least we'll have them there, so it's easy to see the teams if we're ever looking back on the thread. Like I said, I have OCD when it comes to these things So Paddy, if you just edit you Solskjaer pick to your tactics pick, and then KDawg posts his 11. Then I'll repost my Les Ferdinand, and Paddy can repost his Solskjaer pick.Tell me if I'm being stupid, but it's just it would be nice to see all seven starting 11s in a row, and then our subs picks Link to post Share on other sites
