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

[Gecklund]

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

His work rate fits my team really well. I might go a different position with my last pick though now that he’s gone.

 

[Savant]

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.

Ok what should it say

 

[Gecklund]

Feel like @The Abusement Park should be able to pick now. Been like 2 days in the same spot. @YNWA14 can pick anytime though

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

With crossers of the quality of Koke, Oyarzabal, and Eriksen, I'm happy to take a young backup striker who's f***ing obscenely good in the air.

 

[robertmac43]

Tomori was a good pick in this range was eyeing him for a bit.

Had to go Silas to get some BuLi influence in my squad.

 

[Gecklund]

Mane-Lewa-Son
Pogba-Llorente
Ndidi
Alba-Torres-Soyuncu-James
Henderson

Bamba-Osimhen-Pulisic
Ndombele-van de Beek
Kessie
Grimaldo-Romagnoli-Milenkovic-Castagne
Lafont

Extras: Firmino, Ikone, Ginter​

I love my team. Honestly there are so many different options with so many different versatile players that I could change tactics game by game. My forwards would get a ton of goals, same with my midfield but also keep a ton of possession.

​

 

[robertmac43]

Pogba-Llorente
Ndidi

I really do like this midfield 3 of yours.

 

[Gecklund]

I really do like this midfield 3 of yours.

It really helps having that front three ahead of them too. My backline is a little rough in terms of name value but their skills will all compliment each other really well.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Werner - Kane
Oyarzabal Coman
Koke - Kante
Alaba - Bastoni - Upamecano - Mukiele
Donnarumma

Kulusevski - Immobile
Reus - Eriksen - Laimer - Brandt
Zinchenko - Badiashile - Gomez - Di Lorenzo
Schmeichel

EXTRA: McKennie, Kalajdzic, Gilmour
​

Pretty damn pleased with this.

 

[robertmac43]

Neymar - Auba - Sane
Sabitzer - Saul - Gundogan
Digne - Kimpembe - Skriniar - Wan-Bissaka
Handanovic

Liking the balance of this team so far. The bench has a lot of good options and the future of this team is bright.
ST - David, Laca
Wide - Barnes, Saka, Silas, Berrardi
Mid: Maddison, Soucek,
Back line: Simakan, White, Justin, Mudler
GK - Sanzhez

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Icardi
Fati - Frenkie - Kai
Rodri-Valverde
Gaya-Lisandro-Gimenze-Carvajal
MAtS​

Bench: Martinez, Tagliafico, Timber, Savic, Lemar, Gil, Lo Celso, Bentancur, Palacios, Asensio, Hakim, Isak, Brobbey


Back team could look like this

Isak
Asensio-Lemar/Locelso-Hakim
Bentancur-Palacios
Tagliafico-Savic-Timber ?
Martinez
​

I would start Gaya over tags just because of the formers crossing ability and how insane Icardi is in the air. Basically its a cheat code. My midfield is robust yet full of finesse and more importantly my team is filled with players that can play multiple positions. A number of my players can be slotted pretty much anywhere. If Icardi starts to sulk I can slot frenkie, Isak or Fati in there without skipping a beat. I also have a good mix of older and youthful players. Ones that are the cusp of their primes while others are there. I dont see any holes in the line up maybe Lisandro is ready to win major trophies I have Savic who's better and a gamer but he won't be for long. My full backs are great, I also have depth in that position despite it being a shallow position in footy. I have the best keeper in the world and easily the best 1-2 combo. My back up is better than most starters. My midfield is insane too with depth and an embarrassment amount of runners. It won't get out worked or out finessed imo. I had fun this time around acknowledged the mistakes I made in the last draft where I picked some guys too early here I bided my time in picking the guys I want. This cost me Fabian and the bigger loss in Romero just because I had calculated wrong and traded up when I didn't need to. In saying that it couldn't be perfect how i wanted considering the competition and how knowledgeable some here are.

Still it was quite fun with still a pick to go

Now I could even switch up my formation to a traditional 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 and even a 3-5-2 If i wanted to I have the personnel to do so. I target these players for that reason.

Fati-Icardi-Kai
Frenkie-Valverde
Rodri

or

fati-icardi
Kai
Frenkie-Valverde
Rodri

Love your team on a man-to-man basis, D2M, but I don't think your setup brings out the best in them!

What did you have in mind?

 

[robertmac43]

Hazard here is pretty amazing. Crazy I picked him in the first round last year.. ...

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Hazard here is pretty amazing. Crazy I picked him in the first round last year.. ...

Amazing what burgers will do to a body. But like I said in the draft last year he is done.

 

[Savant]

Hazard here is pretty amazing. Crazy I picked him in the first round last year.. ...

I mean, I’m the last round you kind of have to, right?

He very likely could have a strong tournament with Belgium and bounce back under Ancelotti. I mean for a last round pick anyway good chance for ROI

 

[Savant]

Amazing what burgers will do to a body. But like I said in the draft last year he is done.

The madridista speaks! Let’s see how he does at the euros. You could be right but in round 25 who cares

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Oh it’s not a bad pick here as your team won’t rely on him and if he fails it means nothing but if it’s really the madrid medical team that’s ass then you have an elite player.

 

[Savant]

Yeah that’s where my head is at here. Low risk. High reward.

but yeah I’m done. I win.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Hazard is a stellar pick here and I woulda taken him if you didn't

 

[les Habs]

Redacted might have been taken before Hazard. Either way neither interested me.

Thiago Bellingham
Jorginho

I think somebody mentioned that Onana guy the other day and said he was dope or something.

I am not a big Onana fan. Reminds me too much of Carlos Kameni at Espanyol, if your catalog goes back that far

My catalog goes back that far. He’s my backup and he’s still quite young. I’m fine with the value here. It’s not like drafted Hazard or anything drastic like that.
