    Weirdest thing is Floyd P has been online since. :confused:

    Me too, lets get this moving again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,993 ✭✭✭Trippie


    Finally one of the best right backs in the draft goes. Huge value here I think, redic fast, great feet, good in the air and can tackle. Him, Lahm and beckenbauer appear to be the best defensive combination in the draft so far. Although seems a bit lightweight in midfield I think moneymaker has the basis of a good team

    I'm pretty happy with the pick, fits into my team well.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,584 ✭✭✭Rekop dog


    Yeah perfect way to utilise Maggio's talents playing the way you have him. In that context he went way too late as his attacking abilities and energy on the flanks are a massive asset.

    Getting the right midfielder along with Pirlo will be crucial. But I agree, it's looking like a good team, especially on the flanks.

    Yeah I have a few guys earmarked. Beckenbeur can always slot in there if needed too.

    Had my eye on Hart, solid pick.

    Has The Floyd p dropped out then? He was online again today and didn't pick.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,846 ✭✭✭Moneymaker

    He shouldn't be allowed 8 hours to pick then if he doesn't bother to let us know he's dropping out or if he'll be away and PM G.K about it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭G.K.

    I'll PM him again after the 2nd half of Germany/Portugal.

    There's plenty of good goalkeepers at this tournament, don't need to be picking one until the latter rounds, can't believe some people wasted their first pick on a GK.

    IMO there are at least 16 keepers who I'd be happy to have, so leaving it until the last round would be a no-brainer for me.

    A man makes a mistake picking a keeper in the first round and in round 8 is still listening to it :D

    I'm surprised it took until the last pick of Round 7 for a Russian to go, myself.

    Oh, and Floyd's been PM'med again.

    I love how redzer has got 8 players of 8 different nationalities after 8 picks.

    We're skipping floyd until he catches up with his picks, btw.

    Floyd was on Twitter yesterday anyway and I tweeted him last night asking him what's up with the draft. Waiting on a reply.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,988 ✭✭✭SirDelboy18


    Not sure what the story is with Floyd, so is Blatter next?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,704 ✭✭✭G.K.

    Sorry lads, was out all yesterday and this morning for the match, making my pick now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,584 ✭✭✭Rekop dog


    The fact that I think the first Irish player picked in this draft went too early despite it being the latter rounds speaks volumes for just how big a underdog Ireland were coming into the tournament.

    I'm not sure any Irish player should have been picked in this at all. Can still see plenty of wide players, or players that can play out wide that are better than McGeady. Same with every other position tbh.

    I can't believe it took so long for Dzagoev to get picked! Great pick imo at this stage.

    I think I'll be very difficult to defend against!!

    Bale isn't BPA for this round obviously, but he fits what I want to do perfectly imo.

    I think a lot of us thought you were picking a certain player, but not bale.

    Well I never really thought I had a chance of getting Kompany, but I'm still nearly in tears here


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,763 ✭✭✭Jax Teller

    Lloyd picking Bale made my mind up .

    Think this back 4 is pretty good though
    Boateng Hummels Kompany Alba .


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 36,407 ✭✭✭✭LuckyLloyd

    Kompany BPA in this round for sure imo.


  • Site Banned Posts: 26,456 ✭✭✭✭Nuri Sahin


    No thanks
    Looking forward to this round. I presume one nation in particular will be absolutely raided :) But there is another nation there that have some very, very good players that a fair few here I think will bypass.
