All 6 of Spain's CM's are gone!

Picks are getting more and more unpredictable. Makes for some compelling viewing.

With so many of the better, more obvious picks startin to go, trying to keep versatility in mind.
Its getting tough !

Fantastic pick there in muller could have easily went in round 1 so great value at this stage

Muller wouldn't have got past me that's for sure!

Been following this. Couldn't believe that Ibra lasted so long, same with Muller and theres one more as well who hasn't been picked yet.

Have my eye on another player who I hope lasts to me, probably won't but I live in hope.

Yeah I'm think of a certain player who is yet to go, maybe not surprising as he isn't the highest rated around here but still top quality...

What happens if one of your players pulls out with an injury ?

SirDelboy18

Have to say I think the criticism that the Lampard pick got is slightly unmerited. Been fantastic these past 3 months.

Muller's versatility is invaluable too, he can play central or either side. Handy as more and more players get snapped up.

There's better cms left and if you want to play him as a cam there's still better players left .
IMO of course

You get to replace him straight away.

I do think the selection of Lampard, especially following on from the Casillas pick, has looked perhaps the worst so far. But if it was following on from a better 1st round pick then I wouldn't think it too bad.

Is there any need for that?

I think once a player is fit and in the 23 man squad when picked, the pick should stand no matter what.

You and AVB. There isnt too many midfielders left with his goal scoring record.

I was thinking about that, actually.

What do the rest of you think?

If they get injured after being named in the finalised squad pick should still count imo.

I just think it would be very unfair if somebody's first round pick got injured in the latter rounds and then having to replace him. It'd essentially end their chances of winning the draft.

Agreed. Once they are in they are in.

It's based off current form though? This isnt the all conquering lampard of previous years despite his goal scoring record

Ok, we'll stick with that. No Jordan Henderson for anyone.

Still has 11 in the league. In a season when he was being left out I think it's a very good return. Did change style a bit I think especially in the champs league games but surely that shows his versatility. Still involved in the Chelsea goals that knocked out barca and bayern

He wasn't invloved in the CL final goal. Torres won the corner, Mata took it and Drogba scored it.

Lets see now about that earlier comment about whoever picks Ronaldo wins. Interesting to see who he is supplemented with

Not as simple as 'whoever has Ronaldo wins'.

Classic and wildcard picks will be huge.

I have a strong feeling that the european player round that isnt at the tournie will make lloyd very strong indeed but he still has to pick an excellent and well balanced team

iirc the team that had messi or ronaldo didnt win in the last draft either so there is still a lot to play for

Blatter

Maybe

Two solid picks Llyod. Half your defense is sorted now.

Always happens. At some point the best defender on the board becomes BPA and his selection starts a run on them.

Some strange picks this round, especially with the all star round next

he is a good player but not great value for so early in round three think he might have lasted till round 5 or 6 were he would be a better pick

Woul either of my last 2 picks have made another couple of rounds ?
