Football/soccer all-time draft tournament(organized matchups)

[cos88]

can't get wrong with either team as both can win this game any given night. if this was a 7 game series it would go to game 7. already said through the tournament what players i like, what players i don't what pairings i like on the floor and what i don't.


for overdrive it's ramos, i understand his idea of having a defensive RB but he is not the best solution. overall i had a problem with donadoni would want somekind of an inside forward to help batistuta. he has the best balanced team in the competition with the very few flows.
voted against him vs dunskby and i really think dunksby and sajo have teams equal or even better as both of you.

for jasi the offensive trio is what stands up but i have huge problems with the midfield trio which is a bad idea and just makes the midfield more crowded. switch one of this 3 with a winger and one of baggio and di stefano with another winger and this is the perfect team for me. this kind of formation is bad and this is why nobody is playing it with only one player on each wing. sometimes it will be 2 vs 1 and the rb or lb zambrotta or junior will not have the chance to advance.

i'm going with OVERDRIVE to win this competition.

Same here.

Jasi's offense is just too much. All of those 4 players together would almost be unstoppable. Just based on that fact you have to take his team. So my choice is Jasi.

Well I think I've said a lot about these teams already. I probably like both of these teams the best in the draft. Overdrive didn't pick the top talents, but his offensive synergy is really good. I feel a lot of his players are underrated by the posters here. Laudrup is probably the best AM available in a draft like this, he's one of the only legends who was individually brilliant while also being completely unselfish. An assist king playing from the centre, now that's a rarity among top players and invaluable on a draft like this. Frankly, Laudrup would have been an X-factor on a lot of teams in this draft. I heard people complain about Seedorf. Seedorf led three different teams to 4 CL titles as one of the top men of those respective squads. I don't even care which of his midfield contemporaries you throw at Seedorf, because he has a case against all of them.

That said this is about matchups too. Overdrive's formation with true wingers on both sides would give a lot of teams trouble, but Jasi's team is one the teams that is best equipped to deal with this. His team has a lot of chemistry on defense. Of course it's not a done thing to stop Laudrup, Donadoni, Batistuta and Overmars, but Overdrive doesn't have the most raw firepower in this draft and Jasi's team would be effective at slowing that office down.

The other way around that's not really the case. Koeman and Nadal are a know defensive duo, but the team they partnered for was far from known for their defensive prowess. Ramos is a liability at RB. They have to go up against Di Stefani, Baggio and freaking Maradona.
So I think Jasi has the defensive answers to the other team while Overdrive doesn't.

jasi [COLOR="Red"]5-1[/COLOR] overdrive


some fun facts:


1. Jasi selected Maradona with the 4th pick, behind Messi, Ronaldo and Pele.

2. Overdrive had only the 15th pick and selected first Laudrup.

3. Overdrive had the 3rd coach pick and selected Hapel while jasi with the 14th pick got Ancelotti.

4. Jasi was down 1-0 and 2-1 in the first round vs Kurple.

5. That matchup vs Kurple was the hardest for him as he only got 2 votes against him for the rest of the competition.

6. Overdrive was down 3-1 vs dunskby in the quarterfinals but 4 consecutive votes go him to the semis.

7. Many people, including myself said that other teams were on the same tier as the finalist, teams like Sajo's or Dunskby's.

8. The best offensive trios in the tournament were Iamgine's Messi-Puskas-Best, Jasi's Maradonna-Baggio-di Stefano or Waseem's Ronaldo - Etoo - Rivaldo.
