[Savant]

Was either going to go Kimmich or Painter (I guess that's a thing now). You made the choice for me!

Why is Guerreiro "Painter" again?

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Somehow I might still pick who I want with my next pick.

By the way, dele alli is a great pick

Toprak is a great pick, I was between him and Glik.

 

[YNWA14]

I'm surprised with some of the younger players that went that nobody was in on Berardi.

Had him shortlisted, but never found the moment to pick him up. I wasn't sure how much he'd keep dropping.

 

[YNWA14]

I just meant because of how prolific he's been at such a young age and his start to this season has just been straight fire.

 

[Deficient Mode]

Not at football.

4th best goal scorer in the Bundesliga last year despite playing less and on a lower scoring team than the guys ahead of him. Extremely smart movement without the ball to lure defenders out of position, and pretty good combination play. I think it was a good pick at this stage in the draft.

I agree with you that Brandt is better though.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

2 Years ago Crapacio was 4th in scoring in the Serie A...2 behind Tevez and I still think he just might be the worst Argentinian striker to play for the NT.

Who cares about national teams?

Javier Hernandez has been a different player for Leverkusen than he ever was for Manchester United, he's been crazy good. Also, if we are taking national team into consideration, Chicarito is lights out with Mexico. Not to mention the fact that he missed 6 games in last year's BuLi and still finished 4th top with 17 goals in 28 matches.

He scored at a very high rate in Leverkusen's CL matches as well. Higher than in the Bundesliga I believe. He was always a smart and talented player. IDK why some people loathe him so much.

Hmm I don't know who I want with seamus kidnapping the two i wanted

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

Surprised Tielemans was still around

Just trying to show you that anyone scoring a lot of goals in a random year doesn't make you a good footballer.

But having a month of great football and cheating on top of that, can make a player an overrated legend though in otherwise not so impressive career (e.g Maradona).

Every player that dives cheats...not sure what this has to do with anything though?

Great pick VK. Banega is still a highly underrated player. Really not that many better CMs around. Too bad he went to the Inter shipwreck.

Chicharito is a good footballer though sorry.

 

[les Habs]

Big pick for Theon there. I'd call that almost a draft saving pick for him. Stole a march on another one of you as well.

I'm surprised with some of the younger players that went that nobody was in on Berardi.

He was going to be a consideration at some point, but I don't see myself taking him sooner.

I'm actually quite surprised you took him there.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Gameiro is a good pick, I considered him with the Lukaku pick a lot sooner. Good grab.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Was almost certain that Draxler would not fall until my pick... but I got lucky I guess

 

[MrFunnyWobbl]

I wanted draxler you know that right

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

I was hoping to take Gameiro with my next pick, great shout.
