Draft PL ERA Draft (Round of 16) Trilly vs Oxeki | Winner: Oxeki

[Trilly]

Feel if Arteta wasn't doing so well this season it would be a comfortable victory for Trilly

Hazard-Costa-Rooney-Sterling is just way too good

Not a coincidence that one of the OG Arteta inners changed everything.

My selection: Rooney, Costa, Sterling, Hazard, Santi, Cancelo, Gilberto, Mascherano (as a CB) and Pickford

@Riou ’s selection: Stam, Joe Cole and the 343 that put basically everyone out of position.

Conclusion: I’m Arteta out again

 

[Trilly]

I genuinely think @BloodBrother @Aussie_gunner123 @Iwobeast @CaviarSausage @Slug457 @Entropics @Juan Matas Beard need to justify their votes here, you guys are surely trolling.

I know who I’m nominating for trusted this year!

 

[Macho]

Team Oxiou, or team Rieki...

But you just lost to a team containing Arteta?

Don’t wanna talk about it.

 

[Riou]

Riou the virus bragging to his boys about all his accomplishments, including our boy from Philly (Trilly) ...



...as he pepares to break the record of "how quickly can someone **** up someone else's draft team", with Oxeki next!

I still remember that game against Man United in 12/13, Ferguson was able to completely shut down our midfield by having Rooney man mark and pressure Arteta. Arteta wasn't able to make any good passes and was completely nullified giving Man United control of the game. I'm confident Rooney can do the same to Arteta in this match up giving Cazorla the freedom to dominate midfield.

Depends on which Arteta it is. If it's Everton Arteta, then he's pretty good, especially in the early years.

If it's Arsenal Arteta, then he's a sideway pass proto-Elneny merchant.

that he was!

Everton Arteta was a decent directish AM with above average dribbling but nothing special tbh, an understandable late round pick though as ball playing CMs were running thin at that point, but if you're playing him as a ball playing CM you have to consider his Arsenal career more than Everton as that was his position then.

Dunno if you remember the worldie he scored against Bolton but here it is at 23 seconds

He had a cracker of a right peg from distance or free kicks. Never rated him as a CM since he always got bullied easily by bigger players and played it too safe with his passes, basically stat padding every game.

Yeah, think he worked as an AM for Everton because they could put Phil Neville (who was obviously world class as a LB for ManUre beforehand ) in midfield next to him to make tackles and break up play so he could do his thing.

I'm taking Hazard man.

You're giving Wiltord the chop?

 

[Oxeki]

You're giving Wiltord the chop?

What's your suggestion?

 

[KrissKringle]

What's your suggestion?

Give Hazard the chop, unlike Real Madrid.

 

[albakos]

What's your suggestion?

In spirit of what the original pick of @Riou meant, I would remove Rodri and put Sterling in DM

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Surprised you didn't want Rooney at 10 maybe.

Looks like Albakos has developed the out the box thinking needed to win this whole thing, watch out everyone else!
