I guess no offer is coming for Robben so Ill take Ribery and Lampard. As a Pool fan that kills me.

 

[Bonzai]

I doubt he'll score as many goals as some of the guys he was drafted around, but he'll have more assists. Plus, he gets more points for goals as a MF and gets a point for each shutout. Most importantly, playing for Brazil gives him the best chance to play the most games possible. I think he'll be right in the mix for most points scored.

I think by that criteria, I probably would have preferred Xavi. Refresh my memory. Does Kaka generally take Brazil's PK's or other set pieces?

Xavi doesn't score goals at all really, and that puts him at a major disadvantage. Kaka may not be as productive as a top tier striker, but in the 11 qualifying games he scored 5 goals, and got 2 more in the 5 games of the Confederations Cup. Xavi didn't have a goal in either competition. He did get some goals in the European Championship, but he certainly isn't as consistent a goal scorer as Kaka.

I like the Lamps pick. He was unbelievably dreadful in '06, so he has something to prove. He's coming off a great season, even for him. And as the designated PK taker in a group including the US and Algeria, he's a lock to have a few goals in the group stage at least.

I was having a pretty tough time figuring out who will be available when. Spent way too much of my day doing that. Glad Lampard is gone before my pick. Hate that ########.

certain player on the board who I really, really want....but I don't think he'll be left near the end of the 3rd. Or will he?2.02 is a reach though.

 

[Bonzai]

Also trying to analyze the scoring to see where the value plays and positions will be there later.

 

[Steve Tasker]

Tough to pass on two specific players, one of whom plays just so beautifully.....but I'll embrace my rich German heritage (I'm not just a greasy Italian) with the dynamic Kraut with the hot girlfriend....

I fell in love with his play in '06. Now that Ballack isn't playing, I can actually cheer for Germany. I just hate that man.

 

[Sebowski]

Let's go people! Try to make it back to me before 7AM when I will not be awake.

Detroit agreed to swap draft spots with me since he sniped away Ronaldo.

 

[Sebowski]

How do they have Robben listed as a Forward?

 

[PIK95]

oof! I hope my 2 are mf I didnt even look.

 

[PIK95]

2.03- Steven Gerrard, MF, England

eta:formatting

I almost took him over Ribery but I didn't want to be called EPL fanboy too. Im a Pool fan and he is due to explode IMO. I think Englands taking it all so you should do well with him.

 

[bweiser]

2.05 Didier Drogba

 

[Sebowski]

2.06 Samuel Eto'o ST Cameroon

Was trying to decide between him and Drogba. Drogba might get 7 goals against Nrth Korea, but the rest of his games will be tough.

 

[PIK95]

2.05 Didier Drogba

If I didn't hate him I woulda grabbed him. Great pick imo. I think they advance.

 

[PIK95]

2.06 Samuel Eto'o ST CameroonWas trying to decide between him and Drogba. Drogba might get 7 goals against Nrth Korea, but the rest of his games will be tough.

Another great pick unless he quits the team, lol.

i bumped eto'o down about 4-5 spots on my board because of this. probably about a 2 percent chance he quits, but it is worth considering.

 

[derek245583]

I bumped him down cause he plays for Cameroon

 

[Bonzai]

Detroit Fan then us?

 

[Detroit Fan 365]

2.7 Miroslav Klose Germany Striker

2.7 Miroslav Klose Germany Striker

How is his health?

 

[Detroit Fan 365]

can i change my pick? didn't realize Podolski was still avail.

 

[kupcho1]

2.08 Rafael Van der Vaart / MF / Netherlands

(I double checked the ESPN site to make sure he's a MF. I thought for sure Robben was, but )

 

[bweiser]

i say no.

No he didn't. Tasker edited the draft order wrong in round 2 after Detroit and Sebowski switched. I corrected it above.

 

[TLEF316]

my mistake.

Is everyone around for the turn?

big fan.

He should be one of the starting 4 midfielders for Spain.Well, I hope so anyway... That means Cesc is likely on the bench.

I really love watching their midfielders play, even if I'm not really a fan of the team. Great to watch; Silva might be favorite of the bunch.
