Premier League Draft

Jax Teller

Think you're right actually

IncognitoMan

Think your good to go

Blatter

Yep, work away Jax.

Jax Teller

Hardest pick so far .

Jax Teller

Wanted Cabaye

IncognitoMan

Its gonna be difficult when the picks come back around to me again. Was undecided whether to do for a defender or cabaye.

eagle eye

I went the defender route with Ivanovic. I think he is the best full back in the league this year and he is also top notch at centre back and gives me options later on if the depth in either position is not up to scratch.

Rekop dog

Liking EE's team so far.

**** !! He was my pick

SirDelboy18

Definitely a few other strikers that I would have gone for before Torres.

same amount of goals in the league this season as both Tevez and jelevic who were both picked ahead of him and more than rooney, aguero and podolski who also picked. I am more than happy to get him in the 3rd round.

All subjective.

Watching this from the outside, there's one or two not gone yet i can't believe.
though they may not be a critical position yet

When they do go, do say who they were - I like hearing outside opinions in these things.

Jesus Wept

Hardest pick so far.

Bounty Hunter

cheers Blatter. very pleased to have gotten my "Makélélé" in Tiote, think he will be invaluable in behind my attackers (Suarez & Dzeko)

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Glad to have gotten Balotelli, was convinced he was going to go before it got to me.

Bounty Hunter

Oscars good value for this stage in the draft imo, I'd considered getting him myself but then remembered the last draft where I left it far too late to get defensive minded players in so went for Tiote instead. Some array of AM talent you have though with him, Cazorla & Nasri although personally I wouldnt consider any of them out and out wingers / WF's not that I can talk as again in my last draft team I had Zidane, Sneijder and another AMC (not picked yet so not named).

Yeah Oscar was my second preference after Mario this round. Blatter's got some great creativity there now.

Yep, none of them are wingers as such but I think they differ to the likes of Sneijder in that they're more mobile and will interchange a lot easier which goes along way to compensating for the lack of natural width. Remember none of Hazard, Mata or Oscar are natural wingers yet they cause havoc and look like they're going to be a force to be reckoned with for a long time.

Chucky the tree

Might want to edit that and leave out the player who hasnt been picked.

Bounty Hunter

Yeah id agree with that Blatter as if im honest I wasnt fully happy with my last draft team although speaking about the last draft the team that won the thing also had a strong focus on their AM trio (all picked/unavailable this time) of Ronaldo, Bale & Hagi iirc.

SirDelboy18

Only reason Walker made it this far is because he is having a very poor season, summarised by his disaster of a performance vs Wigan at the weekend.

Xavi6

Yeah it was between Walker and Zabaleta for me but I want for the latter because he's more reliable and consistent (and I have man love).

Moneymaker

Not a fan of Walker at all tbh, think he is heavily over-rated.

eugeneious

Happy to get my centre-half positions filled anyway!

G.K.

I hate you Blatter.

Don't really but it's frustrating to see my choice go again. Great pick.

Balotelli was one.
A few lads haven't got strikers yet and on his day, he's top class

I was praying he'd fall to me at the bottom of the third. Would have been incredible value at pick no.60. Is great value where he is at the moment.

Professional Griefer

Was just thinking about getting Joe. Thanks GK.

IncognitoMan

good pick Javi Garcia.

Ares

Fúck the lot of ye! Before today my top 4 were Balotelli, Oscar, Allen and Javi Garcia. Fúck sake.

Now you know how I feel.

Blatter

Pienaar and Hernandez are very good picks at this stage.

SirDelboy18

Pienaar and Berbatov were my ideal next picks in that order. Grr.

G.K.

Edit: For god's sake, that's the second time a new pick's been made as I upload the thing...

eugeneious

1. Vidic
2. Ramires.
3. Ferdinand
4. Berbatov

Very happy with those 4 as my first picks. Solid spine to my team so far.

SirDelboy18

Also, Baz was online today and never chose his 3rd pick.

Jax Teller

Hernandez would have been in my last pick only for his poor hold up play.
Wanted my striker to be able to do that well .

He's been great at that in recent weeks.

He has improved yeah still don't think he's great at it .

IncognitoMan

The picks are moving at a very nice pace today I have to say

Jax Teller

Jagielka's not bad can double up as a sub keeper aswell

Yurt

Happy with my first 4.

Bale
Lucas
Clichy
Walcott

I must admit there were maybe 3-4 centre defenders of that standard remaining but I couldn't wait that long to get at least one quality CB.

Liam O

He might be back in time but does Baz get another 12 hours when his pick comes around?

Blatter

IncognitoMan wrote: »

The 12 hour time limit makes some difference. It's taken 6 days to get to 68 picks.

Compared to this 20 person draft, which took 12 days to get to that stage.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Haha we're doing a lot less writing about the picks this year.

Blatter

Well he was online less than an hour ago, and was online previous to that and still hasn't picked.

If he doesn't pick by tonight, somebody else can take over the side.

Very true. Nobody really cares about that though
