2021 HF Offseason Fantasy Draft: Discussion & Pre-Draft (part 1)

[les Habs]

That’s good analysis, and maybe you are right. The pace of the game is much higher in Serie A and the quality looks higher to me. That is all I am basing this on along with Serie A having 8 very very good sides. Might be a bit of bias involved since so many La Liga teams are frustratingly boring. La Liga used to be more entertaining a while back but that really has changed. The quality of football is just so low when I tune in.

I think it's good to use the eye test and all too often the focus is on numbers. And quite frankly I agree that some of the La Liga sides are boring, at least at times, and quite frankly the level of the league has dropped in the last 2-3 years. I'll also not pretend to say I've seen much of Serie A past the early part of the season apart from continental competitions. Still for me La Liga gets the nod. A lot of smaller clubs in La Liga really play quite well and despite some of the scorelines might still have a really competitive match. Granada for me is perhaps the best example of this atm.

Kasper Schmeichel has been criminally underrated for years and will be an exceptional backup option/veteran support for Donnarumma

Yeah that's a great pick here.

Personally, if I have to a play a game tonight with my mother’s life on the line, I’d feel more comfortable with Kasper in goal than I would this Gigi at this point in time.

His agent just reached out to me. He’s not comfortable playing on your team if it’s just in a backup capacity.

Serie A is becoming way better again man. Maybe even better than La Liga nowadays. Nice to see we are getting all the gems.

Absolutely right on mate! The problem with Serie A is that the best players tend to be widely distributed throughout the league and why it seems to be weaker on the surface. Of course they got that super team in Juve, but they don't necessarily buy the best players from the league compared to other leagues like BuLi, La Liga, and Ligue 1.

Inter is also blowing up this window.

That's not because of a lack of recruiting talent or developing talent, but because bills from 2005s are creeping back up upon them. It's not only them...Just think about it, Norwich sold their best player with the EPL money they're making from promotion and have already resigned themselves for relegation next season because of that move.

I called Schmeichel probably the most underrated player in the EPL and people laughed at me. Top 5 in the league IMHO.

My Griezou with yet another overhead kick...
My team's offense is totally unstoppable.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

@Savant rd 24 is off I’m ahead of @YNWA14 . I know I’m kicking ass but you can’t stop this train

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

IM good to go?

 

[Savant]

IM good to go?

If you are up be my guest. I think I am behind after being away last week

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Was going to trade up to get Brobbey figured YNWA had him on his list. Sorry to do that lool

But what a player this kid is. So powerful so strong. Only 18 but he doesnt look or play like it.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

@YNWA14 im certain it’s my turn but haven’t picked yet just in case. Either way go right ahead I don’t mind .

@Savant is mia

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I wanted Gvardiol.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

I'm confused.

@Duchene2MacKinnon Is it your turn now or @The Abusement Park?

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

@Savant could fix the Picks thread?

 

[Say Hey Kid]

Robert Lewandowski: Poland's high demands of Bayern Munich star - Sports Illustrated

I posted he was #1 during the draft.

 

[Savant]

@Savant could fix the Picks thread?

Will have time in about an hour

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Still confused who really is next. But I'll be making my pick in 15 minutes since it's been 16 hours and if i really do have 2 in front of me they both would be skipped.

 

[Gecklund]

I feel like both @Duchene2MacKinnon and @YNWA14 should pick. We are at the point where one pick isn’t going to make any difference since we are all taking our back ups to the back ups.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Ok, I'll wait. Not sure what is happening.

 

[Gecklund]

Ok, I'll wait. Not sure what is happening.

Basically when copying the order Savant accidentally switched D2M and Curt. So basically D2M should have the 2nd pick this round and Curt should have the 3rd but instead it’s opposite.

Go back to not picking and give me Palacios.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Looool I was going to wait until the last pick for him figured he would go undrafted.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Go back to not picking and give me Palacios.

He mistyped his name, so he should be all yours.
