So, did we really picked an XI without Da Bull?
Good thing Mazzantini was inspired!
Tchau!

Yes. I can only imagine the gamemaster's cartwheels when random.org
spit out some number like 0.99996586
The probabilities were:
Dan 60%
Pat 30%
Ollie 8.3%
Ben 1.7%

Good thing indeed. Some other comments:
- For an ultra-defensive park-the-bus strategy, there wasn't a lot of bus-parking. Barely any, to be honest.
- On the other hand, it looked as if our guys were more inclined to
play intricate passing moves rather than our typical kick-and-run
style that has served us well so far.
- Halonen must have felt the competition from Tricarico. A
Maradonesque goal!
- Puputti out for 1 match, permanent bench-warmer Jarkko Wiss out for
three (maybe a good thing, as Ben won't get any ideas...). Still,
bleeping Veikkausliga butchers!
Tchau!
Interesting choices on the horizon...You wonder how a washed up Thomas Hassler will fare in the Veikkausliga (if he can avoid getting hacked
to pieces, that is...). [This is *not* a choice, just some musings...]

Wait, what? Washed-up Thomas Hassler featured in Euro 1996, WC1998 and
Euro 2000?

Not only featured, but was pretty much a regular starter in 1996 and
1998. Then it looks as if he retired from the NT and skipped all the
Euro 2000 qualifiers, only to be recalled ahead of the final
tournament. He started the first match against Romania (a
disappointing 1-1 draw vs Romania), was an an unused sub in the 1-0
loss to England, and came in for the last 30 minutes in the 3-0 loss
to Portugal, his 108th and last international cap.
Anyway, he's a PCV midfielder. Just the 3M transfer fee. Peanuts,
given Marika's skills.

I'm inclined to offer 3.5M for the guy.
And I would rather spend money on six 1M players
than two 3M ones.

Hmmm. Should we go for Saganowski, then?

5 in the back evidently means three players standing around uselessly
around the corners of the penalty area.

Exactly my thoughts. The Turku Messi they would have called him, if
Messi had been a thing in the mid-90s.

Your top 11 players have in average 16(.27) skill points.
Replacing 6 of such average players with 1M players: (28 - 16) * 6 = +72 >points
Replacing 2 with 3M: (38 - 16) * 2 = +44
The reasoning shows that Futbolmetrix is right. Which means that there
must be a flaw in the reasoning.
(Futbolmetrix is like the opposite of the Scripture to me)

In light of the above from the theologically confused gamemaster, I
change my vote:
Offer 3.5M for Hassler: 0.15
Offer 800k for Amilton Dinga: 0.4
Offer 1M for Saganowski: 0.2
Make money: 0.15
Heal Puputti: 0.1
