wdym by all time u23 xi?
First time, here, my bad.
As usual I'm a replacement
Like if its all time then they arent u23
Here is the explanation
ohh
Like the best players from when they were U23. Works the same as a all time serie a XI just it's like the best seasons of players that were U23. Like Lamine Yamal [24/25] (18).
For others btw
Ofc the U23 is winning out of the gates π
Pick Neymar fr
I'll sit out if that's the theme
CDM:Boubacar Kamarab(22) 24/25
π€¦π½ββοΈ
Not how it works
It has to be a season where they are U23
Btw thanks for not including aaron wan Bissaka in spurs
Like this
?
Being a replacement is so fun
Yeah
Ima delete it
You should've kept your mouth shut
No one likes the rivals XI (interesting)
Oop
All good
Can i join?
Just vote in the polls
Aint no way im bouta be double spurs Moment
Let's give it 24 hours
Interesting
Which one is yours?
Berat jomisti and wan baisska
@fresh pier will be judging this draft people
@serene onyx which was me
Wait whay I won ??
Check #1390187646860529685
U and @finite helm are the only 2 to win a draft and win Spurs Award
Well I'm glad to join this incredible list :]
I just saw how many points budimir got me :0 I could've got sub 40
I would've need top 6 striker but like still
Barca Vs Madrid?
Arsenal Vs spurs?
Etc
Well how it'll work is, you pick one player from a club, your next player has to be from their main rival
Ya obv no one will like it if i pick isak i have to pick someone from bloody sunderland next π
if i pick eze i have to pick someone from charlton bloody athletic π
Just be smart about it lol
Im more surprised no one wants to do la liga xi
Yeah, only 1 person
Also if its the U23 theme, I'll probably sit out ngl
Done
I'm sitting it out (probably)
For like 100+ players
Yeah
I'll pass
@serene onyx U23 would include 23 year olds right? Just making sure
Yes
Ight @serene onyx can't wait to judge
Dms
@winged fern moment
Hahaha
Oh bet
I've also been asked to help judge with @fresh pier and so I will
I know what my pick is
I was considering since 2000
But I'll be nice
Yeeeee ty nipun
No worries
First round is gonna be easy then it gets hard
There are some solid seasons
I have a sneaky winger pick but I aint participating in the U23 thing
If they turn 24 during season anything from there doesn't count?@serene onyx
If they turn 24 during the season, thats fine as that'll be the last season they're eligible for anyway
Sweet
Is team performance gonna affect judging much?
Or just personal
Stats, player of year etc
Personal mainly
As long as they are 23 at the start of the season
Yeah, remember, it's single season since 1990

When draft
@serene onyx We can pick any player we want when they were under the age of 23?
Yes
Oh I see
Yup
Ight cool I'm judging so gl guys
Start of season they need to be 23
Yes
So am I lol
Third place again
W
Bro put s4vi at the front so the guy has a chance to win
First pick is a no brainer
hmm if i was first i wont pick messi or ronaldo tbf
i learnt my lesson wif wingers
I literally just used a website lol
and why tf did u use the most random player in the example
like nigel rice cooker srsly??!
He's a Villa player
Rice cooker is crazy work
i see...
Ye ikkkkk js yk
Agbonlahor was better suited tbh
fr
wait i js realised u aint in the draft
I'm not.
I have a project out of town for the next 15-20 days.
Won't be able to really follow up the draft.
i see i see gd luck for ur project
Sure thank you
Can i be a replacement for now
You are
@void forge 5 hours
Bros gonna get a strike first pick ππ€£
He will fall down the order until he makes a pick so, not my problem
@void forge 2 hours
Hello everyone
This finna be the longest draft ever with yes and s4vi up front
Sorry
When u pinged me it was 3 AM
I'll make my pick now
I picked Ronaldo Nazarios ballon d'or season
How is it my fault when it was 3 am when it was my turn
@brave berry your turn
Not your fault everybody sleeps
Bruh took Ronaldo good pick
That was probably everybody's first pick
Lol I know thankfully I got the first choice
After Ronaldo I swear Yamal will be picked immediately
He shouldn't
Compared to other seasons there has been better
But Yamal did have an insane season
When it's 3am you got your turn, means it's 3 pm when your 12 hours mark is missed.
No when it was 3am he had 5 hours left
Draft started at 8:05 pm
The first ping is 8 pm then
So he got between 8pm to 8am.
More than enough time ig.
Yeah it's just unfortunate timing for him since lots of people sleep at 8 and then wake up at around 8
Damn, those people exist?
I think yes is one of them
@brave berry 6.5~ hours
@brave berry about 2 hours
What
is it my turn?
pick a player
For what
For the draft
Random player?
Go to #β£πγ»the-football-draft and see
ok not my turn yet i will be back in 8h
I picked
U supposed to ping the next person as well but idk who ... is
@tame widget go
@kindred swan When somebody pings you it means you have to pick and then after your pick you ping the next person π
And as for the age put the age they started the season with
Yamal before Messi wtf ππ
Crazy lol
Ronaldo was a rw btw @tame widget
Picking Yamal was a crazy choice there lmao
Choosing Dybala early is an interesting choice
My goat
Yeah but, I reckon he would've stuck around for at least a few rounds
It is what it is
Its not like @acoustic shell is in the draft (Hes a Juventus fan fyi)
Thats fair
I ain't even a juve fan
Oh ok, but like, he would've been the only guy to take him early maybe
Compared to others at least
Yh I didn't really think of it
There are tactics to this game yk
After you tag the next person do you tell them a specific time that they have?
Its not as simple as you think
The next person will have 12 hours always, unless they are talking on discord, then they have 1 hour
Oh ok
If they don't pick on time, they get a strike
2 strikes mean you're out

You can put any positions right?
No, they have to play a certain amount
Wdym
For example, Dybala is only eligible to be a CAM (we made CAM/SS the same thing)
He needs to have at least 33% of his most played position to be eligible to be in another position
Yh ok I meant that you can put Cubarsi for example not only attackers
Its a full team
GKs, CBs everything
No bench
Just starting xi
You can look at #1390187646860529685 to see how we mark things
Winner has to get the lowest score
They will judge the next draft and get the POTW role
Ok
Highest score means last and you add Spurs Award Winner to ur name
In this server
Like @void forge
π₯²
No, its Yes
I forgot about my own rule and needed to change the scores to factor it in
So yes lost because of that
@hollow quartz turn
definitely
i dont wanna judge if i win π
@finite talon go
roberto carlos instead of maldini?
21 goals conceded and went unbeaten lol
and at that era maldini is more complete in fitting the role of a traditional lb
Is that trent?
Should've put Lahm
You need to state his age btw
Bros giving people ideas lol
I just don't want snakes here
Also Grealish doesnt play RB
Hes playing Grealish out of position but eh
@finite helm check dms
grealish left for 100m bro
dunno what ur on about
Just like Trent, wanted to stay a Villa player
at the start of the season?
Yes
He was through our academy and supports our club
Like Ozzy Osbourne (RIP)
im not mad that he left im just annoyed that he left for free
couldve gone for at least 70m
Firstly, @winged fern moment. Secondly, that makes him a rat?
and he left for real madrid
and he planned the whole thing
flip madrid
(Sorry Dylan)
bro how many ucl finals have we lost to them πππ
I dont love them either but, City is a bigger enemy in my books
like 2
we're talking about ucl tho
Madrid? Maybe
Yeah true
You have Frimpong tho (which wasnt necessary but ok)
city is pretty much wasted now lol
If Rodri comes back 90% how we was before tho
We're cooked
rodri would get cooked by wirtz π₯
Oh relax
Tielemans better anyway
He'll cook everyone

Why do u think he was 2nd in CDMs behind Caicedo only
nipuns high again
Blud thinks I smoke
Tielemans is better than gravenberch
THANK YOU!!
Gravenberch gets carried a bit by his teammates
Ikr
no he carries the team π
Heat map, G/A, defensive metrics, and match ratings don't back u
he doesnt do that bro
hes not the guy to defend or score goals
Even the eye test backs Tielemans
nah bro
And clutch? Tielemans was crucial at Villa Park against you lot
We should've won that game honestly
gravenberch would be my pots after salah bro
gravenberch is the guy who does the work in the background bro
stats dont do him justice
All gravenberch does is interceptions
in liverpool
2nd most important player this season
no gravenberch no title
Oh pls
Apparently Van Dijk plays basketball
Lmao
yeah no
van dijk is 3rd
abosultely not better than gravenberch
Idk about that
π
Got home Saturday π€£
And it was tui
Hopefully my draft turn when works done π
Is this to me or @finite talon
Surely that'll be the case but who knows
Him
i just thought id start witht the back line
bc everyones taking forwards :/
my g carried assenal to 3rd place with a trash ahh squad
same bro
I should probably focus on the back like but that's boring
no bro it was the draft before lol
Aw man and I thought I won π₯²
I won't lose this one π₯Ή
My bet for spurs award is on laertis
Really?
Just because it's your first draft
We'll see
And the first pick isn't very strategic and it's the most important but yeah we'll see
I mean I have a few great picks coming up I just hope no-one gets them
I'm taking them
No you ain't
What position
DMs
@finite helm 7 hour
π
@tame widget turn
That'll be @still torrent
I have 2 others that back me yk
π
@kindred swan when you make another pick, edit your existing message
How do Ik if they're online or not so I can put the hours they have
@graceful violet 12 hours
Its more if they message anywhere on here whilst its their turn
unlucky bro but there are still some rly class lb
@graceful violet less than 9 hours left
@graceful violet 6 hours left
Alright time to pick
56 minutes left
@brave berry go
Change my Messi picks year and got Neymar's best season before he turned 23
@brave berry 12 hours
What year is Baggio turns 22?
My front 2 is probably 2 of the bedt individual U23 seasons by a winger,
Messi was a stroker oops
Striker
@winged fern moment
also that sounds crazy yk
Xd
you have 1 hour to pick ur player now
Yeah lmao
Why didn't you go for his 14/15 season?
Neymar?
Yh
He was in his statistical prime 15/16
If it was based of team performance too
Then I would choose 14/15
Ok
individual perfomances matter more than team performance
Team doesn't matter at all right
You said solely based off individual performance
team performance is a tiebreaker if 2 players are basically identical
Oh alright
I should start focusing on defense
But nah
I'ma build the most nasty front 3 and then have nobody behind them π₯
remembers fullbacks are scarce btw
I'm probably going for defence for my next pick
There were so many better CAM why did you go for Foden πππ
Idk bcs i always running out of ideas when it comes for another pick
just research
its not hard
π₯
Ight
generous, i think he'll take longer tbh
I'm easily winning this
lets see
With dybala as your cam?
Everybody has a chance it's just harder when you fluff your first pick
Did you watch football that season
I know he was great but not first pick great
I have some better ones
And Messi was taken so
I've even built a team on lineup builder
I'm just winging it
Nahh
thats what will limit you from winning yk
I tried to do it that way, Curt and Elohim were way too sweaty so, I had to join them and now Ive replaced Elohim at this point
i was second doing that so
I wanted to win so I had to start researching
I research but I don't have a list
ah fairs
He strokes people?!
apparently
Can I change my player's position? @serene onyx
if they have played at least 33% of their main position for that season, then yes
otherwise no
How do I check that
check transfermarkt
It says SS here and I've put him CAM
yeah thats fine
Ok
SS/CAM is the same thing pretty much
Ok but do I have to go with a 4-3-3?
Use whatever formation you want, as long as it has been used by an actual team
#β£πγ»the-football-draft message here's an example (this got me my first w btw)
Yes@void forge
Okay thanks
Yes yes π€£
Casillas was my next pick π
Sorry bro but I'm locked in on this draft
Wait nipun say a player played 15 games at ST and 15 at LW and they had the same amount of G/A in each, would only the position you choose count or would both of them count combined
@kindred swan Go
My front 3 looking nice
I'm cooked for my defense
Fr
I can't imagine him leaving Chelsea
Yeah me neither
My backline finna be players from the new Zealand league
π
I won from winging it 
@tame widget your turn
Can't choose mvb
It's only until 1990
Both would be combined
Alright good
@tame widget 6 hours
@hollow quartz ur turn
Ozil having 29 assists and 10 goals in back 2 back seasons even at age of 20...mans too underrated
Yeah he and 2 others, I'm surprised hasn't taken yet
Dm me fr
Dm me, I'm judging so
Google it lol
Lazy
We know
That'll be one of themπ€£
48 g/a in 47 games
look at u ppl going for cams
You have 1 hour btw
ok i chose a treble winning 61 g/a striker
@finite talon go
how was haaland not chosen yet bruh π
Cause there's loads of strikers probably
tbf i cant name a striker that has over 61 g/a thats eligible in this list
Yeah haha
Just realised all my picks are 23 ππ€£
@haughty swan 12hrs
Now I have to go for one that I don't even like
Hes also @hollow quartz but ok
oh rly? i see
But I'm just not surprised, its Ferrari
fr i stg the most unexpected team on the grid π₯π₯
I'm just gonna wait for a miracle for Lewis to be good especially with how Ferrari are
i mean 6th rn isnt too bad
Yeah but, was hoping he'd be 4th
No way haaland lasted this long
Probably only my Messi has more G/A as a striker than haalnd
i debated him but ozil is my π
Agreed
Well Ferrari is so slow
I'm happy Max won and not the McLaren's
Btw @finite talon your turn
I picked van de vaart and Sergio Ramos
Can some Irish players get big moves please
Like
The only 1 who's got a big move so far is like fergusson
And tbf in his first game he got 4 goals and an assist for roma
But like
There's obviously Mason melia who's joining spurs
But he won't start cuz he only 18
Kelleher got a big move to Brentford but he's been shi
Szmodics and ogbene gonna cook on the championship
Finn azaz had links w a few prem clubs but nun have made offers
Jake o obrien has been class for Everton
Liam scales need to join a prem side
O shea 2 he gotta get back in the pren
Bazunu needs to stay fit
And we need to trust youngsters and not like killian Phillips who's 22 and just joined St mirren
Call up melia
He's been shi? What games do you watch he was the best backup keeper itw for years
For his first game for Brentford I mean the friendly
He got a 5.8 rating conceded once and subbed off half time
Mate it's friendly every keeper gets subbed off at half time
Still 5.8
Nd 5.8 doesn't mean anything it's a friendly most friendly games always have different ratings
Like my guy he conceded in 10 mins to gil Vicente in Portugal
Ok and?
And it was actually 5.6 I just checked
Still doesn't mean anything
Even Courtois conceded to PACHUCA
He's only 22 but idek where he plays anymore
And you're here telling me that kelleher conceded to gil vicente
Thats the cwc tho the courtois game
Even worse
Well not really when yehave trent at rb
Look at the team that Brentford has
Not even a bad tram
Atleast 4 of them have played for Liverpool in the last 4 years
Kayode is a future star rb
Is ut much better than this one
Shade is OK ig ntb not the best
I'd swap trent for kayode then ye probably
Just stfu already this has to be ragebait
And why would you start this conversation in this chat
Wanted to rant abt ireland having shi pkayers
Effort
Suarez scored 3 more than haaland
in eredivisie
hell nah kelleher is an amazing keeper
Yeah in Eridivisie
Haaland was still better
They will.
If they're good enough.
But the thing is, they're average at best.
Like Jack Grealish to Man City?
Nah I think he's talking bout π
Ah the irish midfielder from arsenal
Yh
8.5 hours @finite talon
lfc rejects (except hendo)
took dele alli
@still torrent 12 hrs
Whyyyyyyyy
No but he was someone I was considering to get
Cause I haven't watched the season of a guy that I would pick over him
U picked maldini and nesta π₯Ή
an unbeaten scudetto milan x captain of domestic treble winning lazio how could i not?
@tame widget turn
@serene onyx am i able to play a lw as a lm since wide midfielders and wingers r judged under same category anyways?
Yea
RB/rwb, lb/lwb...SS/cam...RM/rw, lm/lw...st/CF all ranked the same
If you are using a 4 back formation then yes
ok
my next pick π
@tame widget 7 hours
π’
@tame widget 4 hours
Hmm offense or defense
neither
I went for a CB cause I thought that you'd go for a defender ffs
So manyyyyyy more better ones thank God you didn't go for anyone of them
But it's still a good one
why are you so obsessed with milenkovic savic
u picked him last draft
idk bcs I WAS RUNNING OUT OF IDEA EVERY SINGLE TIME
This guy's obsessed with sergej
Bro chose him last draft too I think
Or before that
@kindred swan go
Make sure to label your picks
By 1st to 5th
Oh
*had been
oh my days seems like alot of ppl wanted nesta
Aww I wanted varane
@tame widget 6 hours to go
@tame widget just over 3 hours
Yh
@tame widget 1 hour
Is he sleeping or smth
I'm thinking of trying the challenge thoughts
Huh?
@tame widget strike 1
@finite helm 12 hours
Will he be able to pick the next ones?
There's a new como challenge I'm thinking of trying it but I have a leverkusen save what u thinking
Whoever pick players will be unavailable
ofc lol
@finite helm 7 hours
@hollow quartz 12 hrs
Finally lol
Can't imagine him last this long tbh
Assume u wanted him?
ya thats why i went for the second best option now that he's gone
Only worry is cech maybe get marked down due to his defence but we'll see ig lol
Think he was the only one to get world goalkeeper of the year tho under 23
Ngl my John Terry pick made cech obvious π€£
First pick that wasn't 23 π
@haughty swan 12 hrs
@haughty swan less than 7h
@still torrent 12hrs
Davies has been picked
Interesting season choice
no one picked a cdm bro i figured i wld get the 1st place hehe
He only played 4 games at LW in the 12/13 season according to tranfermarkt
NO
FFS
I WAS THINKING OF BUSQUETS OR COLE
NO
OMG
oop
Can I go for a 4-3-2-1
2 fullbacks 2 CB 1 CDM 2 CM 2 CAM 1 ST?
Mostly played LM?
They're the same thing.
Yeah Christmas Tree formation exist
If I put a CDM it will still count tho right?
Instead of 3 CM
Yeah that's what Ancelotti used at Milan.
Iirc
Just make sure that you have proof of another team using it
Since it's a bit weird
With the CDM
Ok
Lm/lw ranked the same
@hollow quartz 12 hrs
Curt is above you?
... Is the next one I'm pretty sure
I thought all those picks went quick π
2 picks btw
I'm blind lol
Onana is taken
It's not that hard to just check if someone is taken
Alr ur turn
@brave berry
Wdym bro I chose him before you
@kindred swan put his position too...I assume cdm
Just did that thanks for telling me
Yh he'll be a top 5 midfielders oat
Idk about that
Midfielders
Hes a CAM
Midfielders
Thats crazy
Pedri has the potential to be the best ever
Absolutely not
CF is ST π€¦π½ββοΈ
Ik
Won't be better than Lampard, Scholes, Iniesta, Zidane or Maradona or Pele
At least
Maybe more
Anyway bro I picked Pedri before @graceful violet and he put him in his team
Will definitely be better than lampard and scholes
Or did I misread?
He will be worse than them only not currently
He WILL be (maybe)
Gerrard is better than them
I'm a Villa fan as well
So I have 0 bias
@hollow quartz is old enough to watch them growing up 
Mcginn is better than them all
W
Ik
No 1 player
.
Pirlo seedorf Scholes lampard Gerrard modric Matthaus kimmich kroos rodri kaka Zidane maradonna + more > better than Pedro will be.
Pedri*
@winged fern moment
You can edit your messages
π€£

Scholes > Gerrard > lampard in that order.
Ref says play on
Egregious take
Gerrard>Scholes>Lampard
I'll give you a warning
I should be the guy giving you a suspension 
Also I finally updated the list π
Who :0
What list
All these guys
@kindred swan
@tame widget 6.5 hours
Most sure haha
I ain't got a RB ffs
Cause you and @acoustic shell are fossils
I would've put me but I retired too early
I won my drafts from get my fullbacks early
I mean I got one of the best u23 LB ever
Who should I pick for RB tho everyone has been taken
I would say me, but I retired due to a joint condition
I also need a CAM or ST
Cause I was a Lahm archetype
Including jail π
Key word PLAYER

He's the best RB ever
Who is then Neville?
Matty Cash?
Oh pls, I want him gone
Nedeljovic?
Who do you want at RB for villa
Ideally Tomiyasu, Tiago Santos or maybe Daniel Munoz (religion bias)
Tomiyasu??
An injured FB
Also true
Do yk Rodinei?
The Brazilian in Greece?
Yh
What about him?
Its Greece
Atleast he's better than Cash
Yeah, we also won a game against PSG
Ur point?
And CWC champs Chelsea
We won 2 against a prem team
We?
Almost back to back UCL football too
Olympiacos
Yh
You won the dam thing so bwoah
?
Conference League
I kinda feel bad for fiorentina
They always make it to the final or far in the competition and they bottle everything
Anyways, Olympiacos is gonna hunt the UCL teams
We'll see
I'm predicting 13th in the league and if we get a good opponent then we might be out but if we get a psv or smth we're off to the ro16
We've even made some great signings
Where do you think Villa will make it to in the UCL oh wait I forgot UEL
@serene onyx
π¨ποΈ| Nagelsmann: "Ter Stegen? Right now there is another goalie who will play, and I cannot reveal his name now so as not to get ahead of events. If Marc returns to being the main goalkeeper at his club, he can definitely be our first goalkeeper, because he deserves it. But the necessary conditions must be met, just like any other player." #fcblive π©πͺ
Nagelsman helping us get rid of this fraud
It'll definitely be Kevin Trapp who starts
Fair but honestly think they all should be put on same level simply because they all were similar but with different traits
UEL, we need to win that honestly
You won't tho
Yeah mb
Lemme change
Done changed to Ronald arujo
Araujo
Change it
I wouldn't go for him cause they would say it would be Barca bias with the amount of Barca players that I have
@tame widget
This guy's turn
How many picks are you gonna have bro
I only replaced my Pedri pick and then my 6th pick was gone so I put that in
π
I just woke up so I'm lost π
Yeah you probably do lol
But that position is way too filled right now for me
Yeah
I've got to go for attackers
Yeah
But I left them for the last few picks cause I doubt anyone will remember them
@tame widget just under 4 hours or your out
gerrad not being part of that message π
can you not crop that photo or just save it as it is lol
Nah
you can take trent bro
release him from his sufferings
Gotta be quick with the responses
and theres no way pedri will be top 5 midfirlders ever
Easily
I'm not including the Pele's And the Maradona's or the Cruyff's they're not midfielders
they are
what are you on about
CAMs are midfielder
its literally in the name
central attacking mid
Pedri has potential to be a top 5 CM/DM
