Draft CL Draft Results Discussion Thread

[Rex Stone]

Yeah same for Rijkaard was shocked how low his ratings is. Should have picked 92 version or something.

Yeah that was unlucky. I got 1995 Seedorf and his rating was completely tanked as well.

 

[bingobob]

Presently surprised that my lowest ranked starting player is Andy Robertson.

@albakos did someone pick a random Casillas year?

Not that I recall as I wasn't involved, but the pick of Casillas was made by @jones whom @Clrnc had sent his picks via PM.

Then there's this from the thread about the year.

@jones what year for Casillas?

No idea, we can wait until Clrnc is back himself no? Otherwise pick one of the CL winning years I guess

I've changed it now for him anyway.

 

[albakos]

@Rex Bezos are we allowed to field players from the same team in starting XI (like above with Ronaldo and Casemiro)?

What about this @Rex Bezos ?

 

[Rex Stone]

What about this @Rex Bezos ?

Yeah totally fine. Just didn't want more than two players from one team in the squads.

 

[Sanchez11]

Who won?

 

[Clrnc]

Out of curiosity who's the highest rated defender / midfielder / striker respectively?

Defenders are Matthaus and Maldini tied.
Fullback is Javier Zanetti.
Midfielder is Zidane.
Forward is Messi then Ronaldo who are both better than everyone else.

Also I present to you guys the latest team in this draft... "Undrafted Albion". A team out for revenge at having none of their players picked it's a unfeeling Terminator intent on crushing the rest of the league.

Look at those ratings and weep...

Wtf those ratings are flawed as hell hahaha no way should some of them be rated so highly ffs. Mane higher than prime Giggs, Litmanen higher than prime Savicevic, Courtois equal to Casillas, Hierro higher than Desailly and Ayala, Albertini, Effenberg and Sousa both higher than prime Redondo. What is this world won't be surprised if undrafted team won

Is liazaraxu not rated higher than Kaladze?!

Lizarazu was indeed higher but if we go by our rules I couldn’t get more than two Bayern players in.

This followed same rules as us. Ratings are legit from FIFA and FM

Which other ones are dodgy?

Why not? From all the old guys I see no problem. Litmanen is surprisingly good but his Ajax team wasn't very strong upfront and he was instrumental there. Same story with Paulo Sousa and his Dortmund team. Biggest surprises are Eriksen and Freddie

Yeah Freddie is PL player of the year Freddie and Eriksen was apparently that guy

Not sure about Mane 2020/21 rating tbf but he was elite.

 

[A_G]

Fullback is Javier Zanetti.
Forward is Messi

Both my picks

I don't know, I think Redondo is generally rated higher than Sousa. Same with Ayala and Desailly vs Hierro

See what i am saying man this generation underrates the prototypical modern 8 who played like a modern midfielder 20 years too soon. Redonda way better than Sousa not even close. What was Redondo’s rating by Rex? He was a guy that could do everything as a 6 or 8

Sure Redondo was great but imho he could do a lot more if not for some bad luck. From what I understand this sim uses player's best season so one hit wonder like Sousa or Ljungberg can match Redondo's output. It's a matter of small sample, no sane people will say that Sousa was better player than Redondo.

 

[Rex Stone]

Also Hierro was in his prime that season for the sim and a Milan version of Desailly would’ve been closer in rating.

I think he got a real buff in terms of rating as well because he’d banged the goals in.

Which is why I didn't compare the likes of Rijkaard, but rather the players I had in their best ever season like Redondo 99/00 which still loses out to Sousa Effenberg and Albertini. Pretty shocking stuffs.
