I intended Hendry to be my choice to partner Stam, but I was also gambling that he would slip through the cracks for another few rounds. A little surprised and disappointed to miss out there.

I was going to risk it, but I think I'd struggle more to get someone of his class for CB, than I will to fill my other positions.

I also had a gut feeling he might go soon.

redzerdrog

He wasnt going to make it past me in this round

SlickRic

Gareth Barry was another I was hoping might slip through.

Wishful thinking though.

Donnielighto

Was ASOT pm'd he was online 2 hours after he was due to pick

SlickRic

he has now.

bucketybuck

One pick today. We had been doing so well too.

Donnielighto

2nd time this has happened with ASOT?

Ferris_Bueller

Sorry lads I forgot to mail ASOT because I was doing it on the phone, sounds like he has been PM'd since though.

SherlockWatson

Man that's so damn helpful for checking who has who, cheers Frankie!

eagle eye

Brilliant Frankie, that is a great help as said by Sherlock.

Are we still waiting for ASOT? Its fairly slowed up now, kinda sad that one player holds everybody else up.

Is that wilfork in your pic?

redzerdrog

Since this started i managed to make a pick on my wedding day and then numberous picks from a Spa with no wifi and no phones alowed.

This is frustrating but We should have had a 12 hour limit

You deserve to win for commitment alone :pac:

Donnielighto

Lower the time limit to 6 or 12 hours. Otherwise this will take another 2 weeks.

Sure is, I'm a pretty big Patriots fan for a long time.

Frankie Lee

I propose that from tomorrow onwards it will be a 6 hour limit for picks. 00:00 to 08:00 is excluded to allow people sleep. Any objections or recommendations?

6 is too short as a busy day in work coyld see someone miss a pick but would be in favour of 10 hours with 01:00 - 07:00 excluded

Yep, I object. I work for 12 hours tomorrow and I could be without internet access for all of it. I'm not guaranteed to be but its a possibility and I wouldn't know until minutes before that happens.

Frankie Lee

12 hours with 01:00 to 07:00 excluded ok with everyone then?
Also if people log on and see that there pick is 2 or 3 picks away and they won't be online for a while then send Donnielighto a PM with a list of preferences.

Donnielighto

well if you think you'll be out of cover then you should pm your pick to someone

bucketybuck

And if you do log on when its your pick, actually make a pick.:pac:

My new born is five days old and I've been able to keep up with speed of things!

Frankie Lee

Great dedication between yourself and redzerdrog, it is clear you understand the importance of this competition.

LuckyLloyd

Skipped? Who's up?

Liam O

Will I go? Or wait until 11:30?

SlickRic

He's got until 1130.

Fair's fair.

The time limit will be different after this though.

brevity

Maybe next time players are required to have email alerts set up when they get a PM?

IncognitoMan

At this stage is it fair to assume we all have smartphones? If you have it set up so you get an email through when someone private messages you then it should cut out a lot of the waiting

ASOT

I was in work 12-1 lads with no internet, if the last person who picked had of pmd me as soon as he picked instead of 4 hours later when i wasnt home i could have made it on time.

EDIT - It wasnt even the person who picked before me who pmd be it was somebody else....

Fair enough, but I would still say 12-1 is a massive window which I assume you knew in advance you'd be without internet for. It might be best to PM somebody else a list of your picks if yo're not going to be available during that sort of time frame again.

Usually I'd have access but I had to go up north so I wasn't able to use my phone, il pm a list next time anyway but it would be handy for people to send pms as soon as they pick.

You know you are in the draft, a PM should be a courtesy not a requirement. You don't need a PM to open the thread.

Besides, you logged on yesterday after 12pm.

LuckyLloyd

Lads, a man made a pick and didn't bother to PM the next in line. A PM is NOT a courtesy, it's a requirement of making a pick imo. That's the issue, end of. We move on.

He was online yesterday about an hour after he was due to make a pick according to his profile though.

Pudsy33

Doesn't necessarily mean he will know it's his turn, it can be hard to follow. Anyways it's done now

Pudsy33

Great pick there with Radebe.

Chrissybhoy

Radabe was going to be my other CB. Thought I might get him. Ah well I'll go again

Liam O

I'm definitely happy to be finished picking CBs. Could become a real dogfight as the talent dwindles.

Oranage2

I can still think of one excellent cb , unless he's been taking and I missed it.

Not having a top drawer cb will could be in trouble.

Ferris_Bueller

My fault for not mailing ASOT, was at my college graduation and only had limited time to log on for a few mins to make my pick on my phone, completely slipped my mind to send a message to the next person. Are we shortening the time you have to pick to 12 hours now or what?

Liam O

Tevez being picked is crippling to my hopes. Thought there were enough people with strikers picked that he'd fall.

Oranage2

Tevez at this stage is a monster pick no eyelids would have been blinked if he was snatched up in round 3.

Heinze, solid enough pick, left full is a position that if you Haven't got Irwin, Cole or Evra you're just picking from the rest and heinze is as good as any though attacking wise he's a bit weak but that could suit a team too.

IncognitoMan

Liam O wrote: »

I was going for him next anyway so he wasn't getting past me. Now I have to think about is it worth a striker or a defender

GLaDOS

As an outsider, I am amazed Tevez lasted this long

bucketybuck

Tevez was definitely planned for my first 11 anyway. I can understand why people gambled on leaving him till later rounds but there is no doubts as to his quality.

Heinze is another great pick, I think people have underestimated just how good he was for United. He's below the big three, but far ahead of any of the other possibilities.

Most have picked strikers and for me anyway with a 2nd striker already picked the detriment to my defense if Radebe had been taken wouldn't have been worth picking him with all those people full on strikers meaning he could have fallen to the next round.

LuckyLloyd

Redzerdog killing it, great value. I'm happy to get Kewell at this stage also.

Oranage2

Kewell - not a bad choice, his Leeds days he was one of the most exciting players in the world, his pool days not so exciting.

Solid enough pick but probably could have left him for a few rounds.
