2014/15 Football Draft

[Agent TBY]

Not for another ten picks, no.

What's wrong with Navas? Genuine question.

Even if he's **** in reality, hopefully he might be a little bit h4x on FIFA for me.

Eagerly awaiting sm00teh's reply.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

He's actually pretty decent in FIFA, pace is the best stat tbh.

Also find it interesting/risky that there's three teams still without a 'keeper.

Not really, there's about 10 keepers out there with equivalent skill. If you didn't get Neuer or Courtois it doesn't matter IMO.

 

[Agent TBY]

Well, I'm not about to call him a one-note player because there's a time and place for everything (and I'm not one to talk, considering I picked Robben ), but I don't think defences at this level would have much difficulty dealing with his style of play. He's just not a top ten winger in this era IMO.

More importantly, I get the feeling he wouldn't be a very good fit with the rest of your squad on paper.

 

[sledger]

Navas is a good fit for a FIFA draft tbh. For the reasons stated by Smitteh, even Gael Clichy is a good fit for a FIFA draft.

Would steer clear of either if this was a "real life" draft though.

And yeah, there's no shortage of serviceable keepers in FIFA, or IRL for that matter. Hard to think of a top level side who has one that's self-evidently terrible.

Real Madrid tbh.

Haha, I kind of just forget that Casillas exists these days tbf.

Oh? Didn't realise, my bad.

Haha and Sledgeh maybeh dun mention players not picked yettttt

 

[Cabinet96]

Yes I know Lahm pretends not to be a wing back these days.

Didn't really think this through did I

According to whoscored, Alaba played a fifth of his games at LB this season. I won't lie that's partly the reason I picked him though.

 

[Cabinet96]

Pothas is up ftr.

Ha, apologies. In my defence I suspect nobody was intending to pick any of those I mentioned.

Yeah, this is where my knowledge falls down. Picking 'name' players I can do; knowing how they can fit together is another thing entirely.
