Yeah and then you are clinking on timing you have players that no one else will think of haha. Good fun tho would definitely be up for more.

I misread the spread sheet and just thought, well column one is going to win this easy

I really wanted to pair up KDB with Silva - I think getting a player of the undoubted quality of KDB is a great pick at this stage.

Glad to see some of the 90's players like Adams and Desailly being picked, I wondered how much recency bias there was going to be or if some of those players from the early PL days would be forgotten about, good to see that they aren't. Though there have already been a few picks that skipped the older lads in favour of a lessor modern day equivalent, and I imagine there will be more in the later rounds.

Desailly though was a genuinely world class player, I remember him coming into the league and it seemed like a man among boys at times, just a different level altogether.

Thought Petit might have dropped a couple more rounds tbh. Not a knock on him at all as he was very good. Just didn't seem like he'd go so high.

Very good player who was most definitely on my shortlist but I don't know if I am remembering correctly but felt his Chelsea form was nowhere near what he had produced for Arsenal over a shorter timeframe

His best years were at Arsenal but that's what we picking we are picking players by their peak years. As was said earlier in discussion you could pick out just as many bad years hazzard had to the good years. Petit at arsenal was awesome fantastic midfielder and not many touch him.

Had a feeling Ric would pick 2 of the guys I wanted. Still, just 14 more picks that I'll be disappointed to see

I nearly didn't pick Masch, as I think there's one that is on a par, so I was debating it for a bit. but i just love Masch, and I let my Liverpool feelings come in.

i've to wait a fúcking age now, so no sympathy here. the hope is what kills you.

dr.kenneth noisewater

Must admit Carvalho and Masch were 2 I missed on my original shortlists, need to do some more research!

Slickric hasn't let him being dead last and a late reserve hinder him at all.

Top drafting.

I think most teams are there abouts yes some have superstars but all players picked were top class at some stage in their careers and no teams are weak yet.

It's the next few picks that will make the teams the parings that complement each other and gives an advantage.

The table after round 3:



Some very strong looking teams already, and things will start to get interesting now with certain positions being heavily targeted in the first three rounds. Everyone is still very much in with a chance IMO, it’ll likely come down to partnerships and maybe the quality in lesser appreciated positions.

Loads of high calibre talent still left to choose from, I’m excited for the last two or three rounds and the creativity that’ll come with it.

Was not expecting centre backs to fly off the shelf as quick as they have tbh. Makes this a scary time for those of us who haven't picked one yet.

Necro

This looks like great fun, sorry I missed the sign ups

Will be following both threads with interest though

25 minutes left for Dozyart to pick. If he hasn't picked by 17.20 it's correction up.

Was he definitely sent a pm?

Ugh, I just seen some of the pick, I'd Adams on my shortlist and thought sure he might not make it around but I'll pick up Desailly or Carvalho! Idiot, sure Jones and Smalling have eh longevity......

Will I make my pick so?

Edit: Going out for the rest of the evening so will just make my pick. If Dozyart returns and wanted who I am picking I will hand him over and pick again in the morning.

I'll presume he got the PM. Make your pick

Had a nightmare deciding whether to pick Essien who I feel is the ideal midfielder for me to have in a 4-4-2 with Modric or picking up the best centre back left who I imagine will be gone very soon.

In the end I decided there's other centre backs I can pick up but if I missed out on Essien there is really no other midfielder that suits me.

I know they probably won't be picked but probably should refrain from mentioning people not picked so far?

IncognitoMan

Make sure ye are sending pm after you make your pick. That way the next picker should get an email to alert them.

Yeah i sent him a pm, not sure how active he is on here, last pick took a long while too.

Essien a good shout, pure class at his peak, superb mix of physical and technical attributes

Yeah I completely forgot about the PM when I made my last pick as I was fairly busy at work, thankfully Trigger was on the ball but it could’ve definitely slowed the game down. My point being, it can happen to anyone by mistake but it’s still less than ideal.

What’s the story with Dozyart’s round 4 pick now? Will he have his go at the end of the round or will be pick twice in the next one?

If he's back online before the end of the round he can pick at the end. Just drop a message in here to let us know you are still around.

If we hear nothing before redzerdrog picks he can pick twice in his original spot. If we still hear nothing I'll offer his spot to a reserve. If they turn it down his team will just offer a bye to whoever they draw in the knockout game.

Essien was who I was debating with Mascherano.

Solid pick.

I was going to PM you about that actually. The guy I wanted to make through.

Morzadec

Not surprised to see Evra go, got to say the 2nd best left back, part of the 2nd best defence, won a ton.

I considered him last pick but decided to lock down a DM (also wasn't sure if he'd like playing with Suarez!). Knew he wouldn't come back to me.

He was going to be my pick to pair him with Ferdinand

Went for a striker instead, it's already getting tougher to choose

I wanted Andy Cole. I took a risk looking at the players people had picked already thinking there was a slight chance he'd fall back down to me as most need other areas sorted more than strikers. Sickened.

Exact same. Bollox.

Ooh ahh love the pick of Paul McGrath, people forget he did appear in the premiership (poty) but there is a reason villa fans still sing his name and call him god.

Another one bites the dust

And another one gone, and another one gone

Essien the one that hurts the most, thought people had forgot about him because he lasted so long

Another striker option down the pan :pac:

Of the list I have who I considered top targets for a DM, all of them were picked except for Didi and one other guy who remains. (There's one other name who I'm a huge fan of but who lacks longevity so I steered clear of him).

Ginola’s a very shrewd pick at this stage. Couldn’t fit him into the team I have planned but he’s a great player to get in round 4 in my opinion.

Had Robbo earmarked as a potential but probably wishful thinking on my part to think he could last all those picks

I think the wingers are gona play a key part in how a lot of teams set up and it's really interesting as you can see how their role has changed over the years.

I don't think either of them would have made it back round to me to be honest so content with my decision

Ah Bernardo was the one I wanted.

I'll pick shortly.
