The Season 4 draft was the biggest since the inaugural season of the SSL and it will provide a huge boost of talent to all teams in the league. Cairo City FC made a trade and selected 5 players, making this a potentially amazing draft for the club.
The first player Cairo selected was my player, Wesley Stains at 12 overall, the final pick in round 1. Stains is a center midfielder who will provide a solid all around game. Stains questionably has the trait "Plays with Back Towards Goal", so that will be interesting to see.
At pick 15, Cairo traded the pick to Tokyo for 2 thirds in this draft and a 3rd for next year. Some people trashed the move but I think that it worked out for Cairo.
At pick 28, Cairo City selected Otis Boudreaux, a Striker that can also play both flanks. Boudreaux looks like he will be able to make some noise right away with impressive speed, finishing, and movement off the ball. Being able to work with such talented players like Connor Azpilicueta and Franco Torres up front should really help Boudreaux as they will put him in the best position possible to score goals.
At pick 30 Cairo selected Gabe Johnson, primarily a right defender with strong physical abilities and great passing and crossing. Picking up a defender like Johnson really solidifies the back line, ousting the underwhelming Breakfast Sandwich O'Pumpernickel. Johnson should be pivotal in getting the ball out of the defensive half and into the hands of the offensive players as quickly and efficiently as possible, which is extremely important for any club to have.
At pick 37 Cairo selected RM Arnošt Hlemýžď. He is a fast and skilled player with the ball and will have the ability to deliver great crosses. He is a great pick in the later rounds and will be instrumental in Cairo's attack in games with teams that crowd the middle of the field when defending.
