The Second AM World Cup Draft (Sign-Up and Discussion Thread)

The picks:
World Cup Yes GIF by FIFA


Have four years passed already? Apparently so which on one hand means the World Cup is only a few months away but even more importantly @A_G and I can run another draft to celebrate.

Now certain members (no names) had some difficulty following the rules in the last draft so no excuses this time round.

The rules are:

1) You can select any player who has started a World Cup game from USA 1994 to Qatar 2022. When selecting your player you have to state which World Cup you’re selecting them.

We’re NOT judging players on overall World Cup careers, just the World Cup that you’ve selected them from.

For example, if you wanted to select Emile Heskey you’d have to specify which one of his two World Cups you’re picking him from. Draft posts would then ideally look like this:

“I select Emile Heskey – South Korea & Japan 2002

Insert reasons for selection here.

@next user it’s your turn”


2) You can only select ONE player per nation.

3) You must have at least one player from each of the five FIFA regions in your starting XI:

• CONMEBOL (South America)
• UEFA (Europe)
• CONCACAF (North America & the Caribbean)
• CAF (Africa)
• AFC (Asia)

There is technically a 6th region Oceania but they’ve only sent one team to a World Cup. So if you want to select anyone from 2010 New Zealand they’ll count as an AFC team for the purposes of this game.

Please try and remember that it's a World Cup game so ideally you'd pick players based primarily on that basis. There are bonus points available based on performance...

If you don’t follow these rules you will be of course randomised into oblivion.

One footnote: if you select a player from any one of Yugoslavia, Serbia and Montenegro or Serbia you are not allowed to draft a player from the other two iterations. Yes, they’re technically different but each country inherited the previous one’s FIFA place.

Wth is this !?

You gotta be joking, Samuel Eto'o had an incredible season in 2010. They even swept Barca aside, was a key player in in Inter side that won the CL. And with his home country he played in all their matches.

Getting strong @Fix Caudillo vibes in here.

@albakos bro you didn't see your Eto'o's ranking?
The fix is in.

But, that final of Fix Caudillo vs. AG is going to be just as exciting as the Curacao - Cape Verde in the World Trump Cup 2026.

As much as I do not want to defend Rex Blatter, it isn't about the overall season, just the World Cup in question. It's the same reason I took Zidane in 2006 versus 1998.

I have no idea how Eto'o did in the tournament, but just wanted to be clear on my understanding of Ze Rulez.

If we were playing a CL draft he'd have probably been a diamond.

Unfortunately though this is a World Cup draft and there's no way Samuel who lost every game (including Japan and Denmark) and scored a pity penalty against the Dutch reserves is getting a big score.

Just ain't no way.

Loving the beef on here. Not sure why you’re complaining I got two penalties for going first. The first I got one pick in 45 turns, and at the end I was in order to pick the reserve goalies first and another change of rules made me last. 😂

Sorry but how has Amrabat landed the same rating as Kante :lol:

This is kind of the point of the game though. Amrabat was an absolute demon in 2022 but I don’t think Zanetti ever had an incredible World Cup.

Normal draft I’m taking Javier but I think the rating for Amrabat is very fair.
