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

    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.

    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.

    I know the feeling, having partaken in a few PW Drafts in my time ;)

    Nice to see a few familiar faces from there in this too :D

    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?

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

    I'd respect a man who tried to work in Phil Jones :pac:

    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.

    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.

    Calling Mr. Nice Guy picking my next guy. No way he can make it through 4 anyway.
