    How would that work with the legends?

    How would that work with the legends?

    Most if not all the legends picked will have been recreated by the vast FIFA community on the in-game and web creation centre. You can make a player or team and share them online and download them as playable in game.

    Fantastic idea eagle eye and one I thought about doing but decided against it due to how much effort would be involved. I initially was going to make all the teams, simulate them, and then as I can't record them live I would have posted the Match Stats screen as a photo which would have been deadly for seeing just how the match would go.

    Good luck with it.

    No thanks
    If you need someone to stream it/record it for Youtube, give us a shout. Know a fair few lads with HD PVR's and I think they'd be willing to help out too.

    Time to close up shop for this round. I apologise again for failing to get in my writeups, I've had little time whatsoever to do it. I will catch them up eventually.

    I was just thinking about doing something mad for the final. I don't know if people will go for it either but I was thinking that we could have the final on xbox with no players controlling it. Just a game say 15 minutes per half and streamed live.

    I think it would be fun. I'm willing to do it but I'd have to learn how to stream. I can do all the stuff like setting up the teams the way the managers like etc. What do people think?

    Are you envisaging replacing the voting with this or using it as an additional thing?

    It's tough trying to think of stuff to write when you like the other team more than your own, as I just found out yesterday.

    It's worth noting that the 2 almost certain finalists were numbers 1 and 2 in the draft, they got first dibs in round 1 AND in the wild card rounds. Granted they got the final picks in the classic rounds but there is practially a bottomless pit of players to choose in that round. Makelele, Shearer, Bergkamp, Schmeichal, Lizarazu, Cannavaro to name only 6 not picked.

    Round Robin
    Now that I am out I can say what I really wanted in the draft.

    I had a list for the Not at Euro's wildcard, I needed a CB so my list was Kompany, Vidic, Subotic, Vermaelen. I didnt save the list, and when my pick came I completely forgot Subotic existed and picked Vermaelen. Was about an hour later I realised my error and by then it was far too late.

    :o

    Other than that I was really happy with my picks, although I could have left Cech slide for a few more rounds.

    Meh, I think Cole and I did a very good job though. We put together a balanced squad and seemed to be always thinking about whether the pick would work with the players we already had.

    We had a huge advantage, but we took full advantage of it if that makes sense.

    I personally think I took a few risks in my picks .

    I could have went for Xavi or Iniesta in my first pick and set up my midfield up nicely . Also think going for Hummels so early was a risk one that paid off handsomely though .

    Deschamps is another I wouldn't imagine many had him on their lists .

    We went first and second but there was 30 other players picked before we got to go again .

    I'm going to keep the voting open till I get back from school tomorrow so there'll be a few more hours available. I might even get a chance to do another writeup.
