Is there any kind of philosophy / way of thinking behind your ideal squad selection?

While no-one will expect your to share it right now, after the draft I’d be fascinated to read yours (and anyone else’s!) philosophy / way of thinking for selecting their squad ... I’ll happily share. Are you open to also sharing yours?

I’d have a mix of greater players, players that I like (let’s say they aren’t really that good) and some wonderkids around the age of 19-22.

[geordiekrispy]

Ok,some of you have gone crazy, but we'll see if it pays off...

I think some of my first choice draftees have gone, but others haven't so here's mine:

 

ST: Isak ($37.5m)

RW: Coman ($58m)

LW: Cheisa ($55m)

CM: Barella ($60m)

 

Prices are how much they are when I load up the game.

So I've got "cheaper" but have I gone better?

 

@d e m a r a i you're up next to finish off this round

Miscalculations it seems like

[broodje kip]

The end of the round. Let’s hope I can get the first pock this time

[DanEnglish]

This should be roughly accurate ... the image is taken from the previous page 

• 3 teams spent <$250m
• 4 teams spent $340m-$380m
• 1 team spent +$420m
• Plus 1 team spent +$500m !!!

Very different approaches to that round.

Victor's team is going to be really interesting to see develop lmao, given he already spent more than half of his enitre budget for those 4 lmao

Huh? I got him on 28.5M value day 1 on my save, whatever ig it's just 2.5M add ons

@Rich got 2 of my higher choice picks... But I've just worked out a good bunch of picks for the remaining rounds.

I'm assuming that I won't get my first, second or third choice for at least half of them.

Guess I regret not picking him in the 2nd round instead but of the first but fair play choosing Barella anyway

[DanEnglish]

Question - was there anyone who had a player STOLEN from them (*cough* drafted before their turn *cough*) ... ?

We know about @broodje kip had at least Barella stolen away from him, potentially @d e m a r a i wanted Fati, and @geordiekrispy lost 2 players to @Rich (but which two? We don’t know).

Was there anyone else who you wanted but was no longer available ... ? Mbappé? Messi?! My personal favourite Lukaku?!

[Rich]

Which two @geordiekrispy? I nearly myself picked Barella, but Goretzka is probably my favourite CM on the game.

I picked Werner purely because I know @broodje kip likes him.

I don't think defenders would cost that much plus it easier to get good goalkeepers for little amount

Plus your team’s front line will be world class in 3-5 seasons time with those four players you chose.

PS. It is already very good, but - as you know - three of those players will only get better!

Great minds see mate. Us Newcastle fans are the best as I think we can all agree on.

[geordiekrispy]

Ok, I like being first pick!

 

CD: de Jong ($145m)

LB: Joe Gomez ($29.5m)

RB: Eder Miltao ($32.5)

CM: Alexander-Arnold ($123m)

 

Leaves me with 518.5m

 

And yes I know they won't playin those positions, but it's a tactical draft!

Plus I couldn't bring myself to spend that much on de Bruyne!
