Draft The AM World Cup Draft

The selections thread is here



Welcome back everyone to the AM draft (World Cup edition) where we’re going to follow on from the great game that @2Smokeyy started a few weeks back.

B5D03BC5-E5D9-4790-8C9E-5718068FAEDE.png

I’ve noted feedback and suggestions and the format will be tinkered with to try and keep everyone happy and we’re also expanding the game to a maximum of 32 participants.

More will be revealed in the coming days but for now this is going to act as a sign up notice for everyone.

One thing I will say is I want to keep the game fun. The drafting process was great but afterwards it got a bit more toxic.

If you’re signing up you’re agreeing not to complain about the results to the extent you ruin it for everyone else.

At the end of the day…


IT’S A GAME

Sign up is going to be first come, first serve but I’m reserving a few spots for @2Smokeyy as champion then @Clrnc @Gooner416 @El Duderino @celestis who missed sign up last time and didn’t get to play but expressed interest. Apologies if I’ve missed anyone else.

People cried when it was down to a vote now they don't want the FIFA stuff.

This is a fair way to do things.

Rex has gone to a fair bit of trouble organising this so people could have some fun with it. Let's let him get on with it the way he wants.

Honestly I think @Rex Bezos had done a great job here, deserves a lot of credit.

Just wanted to briefly hop back in here in review of what happened in this World Cup 2022 and how did 1st picks of each team performed (of those picked players still active)

Team Rex Jones (@Rex Bezos + @jones): Messi - 🐐 and Golden ⚽

Team AlbiCelestis (Argentina) @albakos + @celestis - World Champions and Mbappe - Golden 👟

Team @blrgooner & @NieThePiet - Modric Bronze 🥉

Team @Clrnc + @14Henry - Ronaldo crying himself out of the World Cup :lol:

Team @Makingtrax + @farzad4daarse - Mueller knocked out in group stages, but hey they did that show 🫢

Discuss !

We picked specific World Cups though. Our Messi was 2014.

How did Zidane do this World Cup for example?

I added specific emphasis, those players picked that are still active.

So from the 1st draft picks there were only five players still active in 2022

Messi
Mbappe
Modric
Ronaldo
Mueller

First draft picks were crucial as the GOATs were selected. Those of us at the bottom of draw were eating slops as we watched the Messis and Mbappes disappear. :lol:

Although he had a good tournament, I feel his influence in 2018 was nowhere near the level it was compared to 2022. In 2018, Griezmann had a better tournament and was the star of the show. Griezmann made the team of the tournament, won the Silver boot and Bronze award. Mbappe didn't make the team of the tournament.

Mbappe truly became a GOAT in 2022 WC. In 2018, there was a strong spine of Varane, Pogba, Matuidi, Kante, Griezmann and Giroud that really allowed him to flourish.

But given how the PL Draft unfolded, you couldn't dismiss the recency bias ;)

A nice little workaround when people get to voting, but then @Rex Bezos had other ideas once the final pick was made :lol:

Yeah that's fair but I'm just saying at the point of selection (prior to the World Cup 2022), I can see why people chose others over him before your pick, of course a great pick for you nonetheless.

Exactly why is Mueller’s 5 goals and 3 assists worse than messi or mbappe? Plus how about the fact we picked up Griezemann with like 6th pick. I think objectively me and @Makingtrax team the best based on one world cup criteria

Ffs Farzad, check the post :lol:

I said 1st player picks that are still active (and played in this World Cup 2022)

I wasn't downplaying the player picks for the years you selected them for.

Mine and @Sanchez11 boy Gallardo, was mere minutes away from getting knocked out of a World Cup because Mexico got more yellow cards than Poland.

I BADLY wanted that to happen :lol:
