Boards Draft Tournament - New Signups!

gimli2112

I'm amazed how outraged I am by the fact two obvious Utd players are still missing from the list. These list things are very emotive.

Didn't get a pm but am I up next judging by the list and do I have two picks? What's happening There after.

Sorry mate, forgot about the PM!

Do we have a stand in ready to go? Doesn't look like the missing poster has been back on to say he wants to play so we should get a reserve confirmed.

I'd say we should confirm who that is and then let Incognito Man decide how we're going to resolve this - maybe better to wait before we have all this confirmed before you make your picks?

Was it SlickRic that was first reserve? Or did I miss someone?

He is but what way are you going to integrate him. Do I get two picks now and then he gets one and he carry on in the spot where the original poster should go or what?

So if it was the original poster I'd leave them in their position and let them pick twice when it got back to them.

But after This is it missed an almost entire round of picks I think the best option to just move it onto a reserve in the hope of keeping this draft moving at a reasonable pace. SlickRic postes fairly regularly here anyway so hopefully no further issues.

Unfortunately the only way to add in the new player and not massively disadvantage them is to put them in the last position. So Jayo you are the 15th pick now.

Make your selection, pm SlickRic. SlickRic makes the last selection of round 1 and we reverse the order so SlickRic then makes the first selection of round 2 and then Jayo so on.

Apologies Jayo because I know the double selection can be good if you are looking at two players you feel would do well together but on the plus side there will be one player more in the selection pool than you would have originally had to choose from for your first pick.

Ok done and slic has been messaged.

Can't believe rooney was still free no brainer.

SlickRic

So I'm making two picks?

Ridiculous Rooney fell that far.

The strikers are flying out now, last 5 picks in a row have all been forwards.

I do think this was the fairest solution and allows SlickRic a fair crack. Thanks for stepping in Slick.

I'm loving the continuing "outrage and incredulity" about players falling so low

it's genuine with Aguero IMO

doesn't get half the credit he warrants.

Even when you look at the selections and even when you think of the players left, there is such an abundance of talented forwards that played in the PL. I was secretly hoping that Aguero would slip thru the cracks.

I had a plan from the start but might need to abandon that already :pac:

Happy out with my two picks some younger fans might not appreciate just how good both were at the absolute peak but won't get many better then them at assisting and scoring.

I agree, I do like both your picks and I think I would've gone for the same two players in your position.

I think Hazard is another that may be a bit underrated by some

It depends on what way players are going to use them or how people judge which team is better. If they are been judged on best season ever then noway should rooney or Aguero be as low as they were but also Beckham for instant in his best season he was a genius for united on the right.

If your going to judge players on their full premierleague career then hazzard has had some underachieving seasons too in my opinion.

Yeah this is interesting, it does say "at their peak" which was a big reason I picked Suarez, few match him at his peak. Some players only had 3 years in the league, even Ronaldo who went first pick surprisingly only had the one season where he broke 20 goals and maybe only 3 total where he was considered one of the top players in the league at the time.

That said, I do think longevity comes into it too, the reliability of having done it season after season and being a mainstay in great teams.

I think a mixture of both will come into play in the assessment.

Hazard did have some poor seasons it's true.

I really think it will be the people voting that will actually decide on their own views really, basically whoever picked Ronaldo has lost The Golden Millers vote anyways :pac: it would also be how suitable to the players around them, no point in having a fantastic finisher but no one to supply the balls to him so to speak

IncognitoMan

Yes, I would definitely give someone a vote if I felt they had built a team with players who complement each other over someone who had a less well balanced side.

But it's up to each poster to make their arguments whichever way they go.

cr7 at utd was a different type of player than the last few years , he typically ran the show for utd back then and influenced the whole game rather than just score goals which was tgm biggest complaint really

Id of had Suarez a top 5 pick so great value to get him so low down

bucketybuck

I'm a little surprised to see the strikers flying off the shelves so early.

Some big names there of course, but in terms of building a team there are a lot of very good strikers in the PL era, whereas some of the other positions aren't as well stacked.

Each to their own of course.
