It certainly does - only having three choices screwed with my team in a bit way. I wanted Jamie Carragher in defence along with John Terry, but I couldn't leave out Joe Cole or Steven Gerrard. I also wanted Riquelme, but that meant dropping Philip Cocu or Deco if I wanted to keep my two English players in midfield.

I'll trade you my David Trezeguet for your retired Gabriel Batistuta!

should bet on donovan... he'll probably score more.

er...how does this work?

soccer is full of uncaptureable "stats".

Post by **SplishSplash** » Thu Jun 01, 2006 7:32 am

Forget about the stats. They don't play a role until the tourney starts.

Just pick names that sound familiar. Or look at the player's profile and pick those who scored the most goals.

whoa Rooney's kicking a ball. i might have to pick him up for the knockout round

Post by **Captain** » Fri Jun 02, 2006 7:35 pm

I decided to pass the one-legger.

rooney's too risky IMO. you'd have to waste a transfer on him, and those things are bloody rare (2 per round i think)

has anyone else been tinkering with their initial roster as much as I have? i think I've already replaced 10 of my original choices so far.

Post by **-Replicant-** » Mon Jun 05, 2006 8:28 pm

there are too many good people to keep tinkering. i gave up awhile ago

Nope, still got my original roster from the day I signed up

If he regains his match fitness then he is well worth the transfer: he may not have the class or experience of players like Larsson, but if he is on form then he can create magic from nothing.

Post by **Captain** » Tue Jun 06, 2006 11:28 pm

Meh, it's more than likely he won't be back until the first round so I'd advise you to skip the limper
