    I have a 2 man shortlist for CB left with two picks to go before me!!!!

    Nearly took Jagielka last time, wishful thinking believing he’d been overlooked and would come back around. Excellent pick.

    Was going to go for him but thought Morgan had a higher peak and was brilliant for a few seasons. Jagielka may be better for the game involved though with regards perception of him.

    Ugh Luke Shaw was my first choice pick for this round and as each pick went by I thought he would make it to me.

    Ah well back to the drawing board

    Forgot to send PM after my pick. Sorry about that.

    Is redzer up again?

    Yip.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 681 ✭✭✭daithi1989


    And with Smalling gone, that’s the 3rd CB I had on my list! Was hoping him being away in Italy, he might have slipped through. Oh well

    Hidden gem by Redzer

    Fuchs is a good pick at this stage

    Fuchs may not be the greatest LB in this thing but def really good value at this stage. If you haven't picked a CM or a LB you could def say the same about Delph too. Had him on my list of potential CMs even though I think there may be a few more options available in that position than there are in another I need still.

    Mr Nice Guy is up but I can't PM him as his inbox is full.


  • Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 23,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭Bounty Hunter


    Happy to see Grealish picked as I know I would have been tempted but he shouldn't be pushed out to the right even if he is flexible and that is where he would have to go with the players I have.

    Interestingly he is picked in the same team as Maddison who he is often compared to so I'm guessing 2D will be playing him on the LW

    I just PMd him and it shows as sent.

    Oh, weird.

    I tried twice and said it was full.

    Le Champion to the rescue again.

    Think others have had issues PMing him when they didn't put the . in Mr.Nice Guy but who knows now I just wait to see if him, Daithi & Wrestlemaniac make me have to rethink my plans.

    I got BH's PM. I'll have my pick up within the hour. Just getting something to eat atm.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,770 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Lallana is a great pick, had a look at who was left available earlier and he stood out by far as the best player left in the draft IMO, surprised he didn't go a lot earlier.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,255 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Yeah was hoping he'd get through to me.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    I had planned on drafting a CB, but had none left on my list, so need to go back and look them up again after the weekend to find one. Delighted to have Lallana in the bag. Happy with my midfield trio!

    Happy enough to have completed my defense (unless I add a CB go with 3 at the back with WBs and Henry & Kane as a duo up front in a 3/5/2 - 5/3/2) but I'll probably stick with my current formation.

    edit: Rodri is a great pick by Marty, probably would have been my next pick. Hard to believe that in a current prem draft a guy that starts week in week out for City lasted this long


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 21,567 ✭✭✭✭martyos121


    Very happy with my last couple of picks, I always felt Rodri would be overlooked in this given his short time in the league but his ability is unquestionable and he’s almost a perfect fit for my team.

    Finishing off the City trio in midfield was a no brainer too, even if I had to move Rodri slightly further forward than he’s used to playing since he left Atletico. I also have the option of moving Fernandinho back alongside Terry and choosing another midfielder later on depending on the lay of the land. :)

    Sorry lads for the mixup(again) have my 2nd pic up now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Really like Martys team. Looks very good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,895 ✭✭✭✭Mitch Connor


    I can't believe that GLaDOS has been allowed to seal the competition with a pick this late in the game. Grabs McT at this stage? an unbelievable steal.

    The rest of you should be ashamed.


  • Moderators, Regional East Moderators Posts: 23,255 Mod ✭✭✭✭GLaDOS


    Was a long 2 rounds waiting for him to get back to me :pac:

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,770 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Will go down well with United fans anyway ;) I was interested to see if Reece James would go. I really like him and it is a position where after the first few went there is not a whole lot of depth to. Some teams shaping up very well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,191 ✭✭✭✭Shanotheslayer


    Lads I just noticed that Victor Wanyama transferred to MLS in March(Bullsh!t) :pac: I assume he can't be picked?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,770 ✭✭✭Ferris_Bueller


    Just replied to your post on the main thread will delete it now. I didn't pick him on that basis a few rounds ago! Think it will be back to the drawing board, would have been a nice pick.

    Yeh that's no problem. Realized it must be to good to be true that he was still there!
