    Had Andy Carroll not ruined his team with the first pick he'd have the makings of one of the best teams here, loving the midfield.

    In five years time I will quote this post and we can all have a good laugh at how criminally underrated Andy was.

    Reus is a fanatstic player. I was wondering when someone would take him.

    He's tremendous value at this stage considering how early some of the other picks went. Gotze in Round 3, Reus in Round 6.

    Reus is a brilliant player who can play lots of positions and still score plenty of goals. The only drawback with him is that he's still relatively unknown around these parts as not many ever watch Borussia Monchengladbach and he hasn't flourished for the national side yet.

    Himself, Schürrle and Draxler are the 3 secret weapons for ze Germans if they need to change things up in the Euros. Really is ridiculous how much young talent they have, even moreso then Spain imo.

    How about a non-European round in the final round? Defeats the purpose I know but it could make things more interesting.

    Posting in right thread.

    I'm not a fan because I think 3 wildcard rounds is excessive. Historical Euro Player won the vote.

    Also, that would make 2 wildcards and the first round all going 1-->20.

    And people won't have been planning for such a wildcard.

    Must say, fair play to GK for organising it and not taking part.

    At least the organiser won't get banned during the draft this time :pac:

    That's how my team is shaping up. Picks starting to get a lot more difficult from here on in. Undecided whether or not to play Kroos in the deeper role just ahead of Martinez who will be holding as opposed to in the hole behind RVP, doesn't really make a difference as he's superb in both roles. Depends on who's available.

    There are still quite a lot of quality players unpicked I think. Practically every country has at least one.

    BTW, Clichy is excellent but I'd disagree that any of the previously picked LB's are not as good as him.

    Lahm, Alba, Coentrao, Cole are the only ones who have gone.

    I personally think Clichy is better than Coentrao and Alba. Maybe not Alba.

    Think Clichy and HBA are both excellent picks. Ben Arfa always capable of the spectacular and Clichy put in some excellent performances towards the end of the season.

    Much of a muchness between Cashley and Lahm for best LB around imo. They're both a level above anyone else.

    I would say Lahm is the best, he's an excellent defender and is almost like a winger going forward. Cole is also an excellent defender but while quite good going forward, he isn't as effective as Lahm in that respect.

    What should also be considered is how many good wide attackers there are in the draft. If you don't have good fullbacks you're boned.

    Good pick is Cabaye, Although he was my fallback if I missed out on the next midfielder I want. Agreed, don't think Glen Johnson was a great pick. Still better RB's available.

    Anyone else really dislike having to post in this cryptic fashion to avoid giving away your plans? :pac:

    Didn't think Glen Johnson was a bad pick at all. He's had a pretty good season for Liverpool. He's excellent going forward and has improved quite a bit defensively over the last 18 months or so.

    He didn't have a great game against Belgium the other day but I don't think he was training properly before hand because of a problem with his toe. He'll be one of England's better players at the Euros imo.

    I had a choice between Johnson and three others, but my next pick is completely based on who ColeTrain/LL pick, so I needed to keep space for certain countries open and anyway I don't think there's that much of a difference in quality between them, unless I completely missed someone.

    There is a chance that I've over thought and over complicated the whole thing though.
