    Well balanced and strong in every area. Thought your team was class (glad you didn't get to pick Pirlo! haha)

    Balance is key for Me in voting. If the team's not even balanced it can't be that great, IMO.

    Reveal who voted Me 12th! :laugh:

    Chuffed with eight 1st place votes from 13! I thought My team was good but not that good.

    Thanks for another decent draft mate. Another strong team from yourself! Would be shocked if you're not in top 5 again for the next draft.

    Keane --- Xavi
    Ribery ----- Rooney ----- Cazorla
    Messi​

    If I could change My vote now, I would. I didn't realize how good Stoichkov was and I wasn't keen on Rui Costa Right Wing but I would of still have you higher than 7th if I revoted.

    If that helps.... haha


    At least you weren't voted 12th! :laugh:

    No good to me now, joga beat me by two points. :laugh: You shouldn't vote on balance as the main criteria tbh, that's what the balance category is for!

    I look for a bit of balance to. No good having loads of players that are good but don't work together.

    Well done Gal_P, I picked you first and Joga second.

    Can't complain with fourth but I'm a bit perplexed that I got a 13th place vote! :laugh: I also thought AJ's team was a bit underrated, especially with that midfield.

    My picks:

    Best Team
    1st - Gal_P
    2nd - Joga bonito
    3rd - Guyett
    4th - Ollie
    5th - AJ's Right Peg
    6th - Saint_Shane
    7th - bororob
    8th - LEF
    9th - Purple Bananaa
    10th - Cotteril:49
    11th - mrwatfordfc
    12th - CeilingVitaly
    13th - Ringleader

    Best Defence (including GK, CB, FB & WB)
    1st - Ollie
    2nd - Joga bonito
    3rd - Guyett

    Best Midfield (including DM, CM & AM)
    1st - Joga bonito
    2nd - Gal_P
    3rd - Rob/AJ's Right Peg

    Best Attack (including ST, FW & W)
    1st - Gal_P
    2nd - Joga bonito
    3rd - LEF

    Best Balance
    1st - Gal_P
    2nd - Joga bonito
    3rd - Saint_Shane

    Either way I would have had someone out of position. Maybe Cazorla on the right and Ribery in his preferred role on the left? I wanted to replicate Messi's club setup as best as possible.

    At the end of the day I had a couple of players (Cazorla, van Bronckhorst, possibly Gallas) who where never quite in the very top bracket at their positions. You and Joga had no such problems (although I'm admittedly not a massive fan of Marcelo).

    Might have jumped a place if I didnt get 3 11th places...
    also if I had ollie first and joga 2nd they'd have swapped places in the overall

    Lots of strong teams in this draft so I'm not going to complain where I finished. It does seem a little weird though that the team with the best balance finishes 10th overall. Normally getting within the top 3 on balance is a good indicator your going to get a decent rank.

    I can't remember my votes but I think I had prolifik 1st and Gal P second.

    Does that link work for everyone else?

    Should be interesting. I won't take part in this one as I'm sure some of the Championship users would like to take part. I will be watching though.
