Premier League Draft Picks Thread

Eathrin

Surprised he made it this far to me.
There's a serious lack of quality full backs in this league and I believe I have one of the best.

Kyle Walker.

Blatter

Oscar, a diminutive Brazilian that has a touch of class. He's settled in pretty well at Chelsea and I think he's only going to get better as the season goes on. Will work well with Cazorla and Nasri.

eugeneious

To partner Vidic at centre-back is his real life centre-back partner, Rio Ferdinand.

G.K.

Joe Allen. In blistering form this season and one of the strongest CM's left in the draft, imo.

Professional Griefer

Javi Garcia



Had a decent start to the PL, very good player defensively and a threat from set pieces.

ASOT

The Slovakian Beast

Chucky the tree

A bit surprised he lasted this long. Papiss cisse is my next pick

Ares

I'm quite disappointed to miss out on my first few choices but such is the nature of the game. I'm gonna solidify my midfield fairly sharpish with Sandro coming in to partner Dembele in midfield. These two obviously play with each other and will provide a great base from which I can build my team around.

Second pick I select Ashley Young.



He's picked up a bad rep from last year from his starfish antics but he's a quality player and its time I invested in some attacking players. He's excellent value at the start of the 4th round and leaves me so far with

Agger, Demebele, Sandro and Young.

Chucky the tree

Tough choice here, went for one of the few quality DM left. Clattenburgs new best friend, Obi Mikel

ASOT

Hes having a good season and knows where the net is!

Professional Griefer

Gonna go with Javier Hernandez



Fantastic finisher, and has this year improved his passing and holding of the ball. Shinji will play a lot of killer plays through for the pea.

G.K.

Steven Pienaar. Versatile, quality attacking player who has been on fire this season.

eugeneious

My next pick is one of the classiest players around imo. Only RVP has contributed more goals/assists in the last 4 years. Berbatov.

Blatter

Benoît Assou-Ekotto. Hasn't played a lot this season due to injury but one of the better left backs in the league when fit imo. His defending has improved a lot over the last couple of years and he's always a genuine attacking threat.

Eathrin

Phil Jagielka



Every team needs solid foundations.
You get just that with Phil.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

I was going to wait to pick a goalkeeper but seeing as this guy is still going there's no point in letting him get away. My fourth pick is Petr Cech who has been an essential member of Chelsea's team for many years now.




Team so far:

Silva
Baines
Balotelli
Cech

Yurt

My next pick is future Liverpool player Theo Walcott

Xavi6

Completing my centre half pairing with a man who likes to score the odd screamer here and there.

Kompany and Cahill is solid.

Bounty Hunter

Surprised this guy is still available but not going to let him slip further and instead make my first defender drafted...David Luiz



team so far:
...............Dzeko

...........Suarez

.................Tiote

............Luiz

Trippie

Belated 3rd round pick.

Fabricio Coloccini, ball playing defender, will set the tempo for defense. Didn´t play well vs Liverpool but just too good not to improve as season goes along.

Jesus Wept

Charlie Adams
Unless he's gone...

redzerdrog

This lad is going to be crucial to how my team plays and there is very little quality players left in his position.

Alexander Kolarov

eagle eye

Full backs are hot at the moment so I can't leave this guy here any longer. John Arne Riise is my pick.

IncognitoMan

Time to start looking at the defence of my team and I pick a player who has for the last year been one of the best in the league. Has done remarkably well in the absence of vidic. Jonny Evans

Jax Teller

Joleon Lescott



Was outstanding last season with Kompany at the heart of city's defence . Hasn't hit the same heights this season so far but he is still a good centre half and also able to play Lb if needed .

Trippie

at the airpoirt waiting for flight, my next pick is Peter Odemwingie. I think he will compliment Aguero quite well in attack.

SirDelboy18

Been in eye-catching form so far in the PL and offers me a great deal of versatility, allowing me to change his position depending on how the draft is going. A proven goalscorer and equally adept on the wings.

Kevin Mirallas

Liam O

Am on the phone so not 100% sure these haven't been picked but am pretty sure so will go ahead and pick Laurent Koscielny and someone who I'm very surprised made it this far even though he's not what he used to be is still too good to pass up at this stage in Steven Gerrard.

SirDelboy18

I'd thought hard about this pick - decided beforehand that I needed to reinforce the CM, but all the obvious picks are gone. Thus I'm plumping for one of the most in-form players of the past 12 months, who is arguably among the most under-rated players in the league.

Youssouf Mulumbu

Blatter

As a proxy for Trippie I select Davide Santon.

Jax Teller

On phone so no pic I pick Chris Smalling .

Good young Centre half .

IncognitoMan

Per Mertesacker. Has been very impressive in the opening weeks of the premier league especially against Liverpool and Man City. Over 80 caps for Germany

eagle eye

I'll nab my keeper here and it might be a bit of a reach in some people's eyes but I've always been a big fan and I've been impressed by him since he arrived in the Premier League. My pick is Julio Cesar.



My team so far...

...............................Julio Cesar
Ivanovic..................................................Riise
..............................Yaya Toure......................
.................................Michu............................

redzerdrog

Really struggled with this pick to be honest

gona go with my left cb

William Gallas

Jesus Wept

Joey Barton

Bounty Hunter

pick 5 from a 5th different club, a man I was v surprised went to Fulham at the time who now seems to have fully adjusted to the league and is showing some good form. The Costa Rican captain Bryan Ruiz



Suarez, Dzeko, Tiote, Luiz, Ruiz

Xavi6

With 35 goals in just over three seasons for three midtable or lower clubs, this man has done superbly for himself in the Premier League.

The big guns all went early on but I was hoping this chap would slip under the radar and I'm happy to have him leading the line.

Welcome Steven Fletcher.

Probably the most under rated centre half in the league Younes Kaboul

Fuzzy_Dunlop

For my fifth pick I'm going with a defender and and versatile and talented one in Phil Jones.

Eathrin

Gylfi Sigurdsson



Has performed excellently three seasons in a row for Reading, Hoffenheim and Swansea and despite competition from Dempsey is now doing the business for a top 5 PL club.

Blatter

My next pick is Micah Richards. One of the few quality right backs left (can also play centre back) and I'm delighted to get him at this stage.

eugeneious

My next pick is going to be by far Wigan's star player last season and already someone who has made an impression at Chelsea. Victor Moses

G.K.

Pablo - now he's adapted to the EPL, he's become a star player for Swansea and looks a real upgrade from Scott Sinclair.

Professional Griefer

On phone so no pic. Gonna go with Ryan Bertrand.

ASOT

One of my favourite players and a true sportsman to look up to! Has been quality for Southampton this season!

Hart
Skrtel
Felliani
Lambert Defoe

Chucky the tree

Another new signing of Fulhams who have done done well. Sung-Yeung Ki

Ares

My next two picks round off my central midfield and right wing position.

They are James Milner of Manchester City;



His versatility is a big bonus, he's going to line up on the right wing of a front three for the time being, but his ability to also play in the centre of midfield gives me a lot of leeway with regards to formation.

Ares

The first pick of the sixth round is Esteban Granero of QPR;



He rounds off my midfield three perfectly I feel, joining Sandro and Mouassa Dembele in midfield.

There is great balance to this midfield, with Sandro being the destroyer, Granero the possession retainer and Dembele who gets license to join the attack.

I'm very happy with this midfield, really content and after the legends round I'll have a front and middle three filled.

I'm leaving myself a little bit exposed for future picks but I'm hoping to pick up a few defensive bargains in the later rounds.
