8 team draft pay league - €50

Green&Red · 13-10-2017 8:32pm

Quiet happy with my team for this weekend

SteelyDanJalapeno · 13-10-2017 8:43pm

I see a lot of us filling up on defenders, quite happy with mine too, targeting 60+, and that's with Calvin on his own up front

Green&Red · 19-10-2017 10:26am

Hard to know where to find the clean sheets this week

Swansea, Southampton, West Ham and Stoke.

Green&Red · 19-10-2017 10:58am

Can we rely on any of them really? I have Naughton and am dropping him I think

If I had to pick one it would be Southampton.

Green&Red · 19-10-2017 11:10am

All gone, Cedric, VVD, Bertrand and Yoshida. West ham will be a scramble

I forgot they were all gone.

West Ham it is so.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 19-10-2017 1:50pm

I wish we could trade players

Feels quite limited right now, swapping in and out whatever mid place team's defenders that have a home fixture this week is what it's coming down to.

Agreed a trade system would be great

Green&Red · 19-10-2017 8:11pm

Got Atsu, Zouma, Reid and Zabaletta so hopefully so clean sheets

SteelyDanJalapeno · 19-10-2017 8:35pm

Got Fonte myself, somebody else must have taken chica

Geezer at the very bottom of league, with first pick due to being bottom, snapped up Chicharito.

Sorry! Abraham and Chicarito now upfront. Just need Sanchez to start showing up for work some time this year.

Green&Red · 19-10-2017 10:24pm

Likewise with Hazard and Alli, useless f**kers

19-10-2017 10:35pm

It’s funny how the draft order impacted on our teams.

First 2 picks were obvious but then it got a bit guessy.

I think I was 4th or 5th pick so I took Jesus and I really wanted him but I’ll be honest and say that when I picked Eriksen and Silva I was really just picking the best of what was left.

Neither were players I really wanted.

On draft night the only players I got that I actually wanted were - Jesus, Valencia and Bellerin.

SteelyDanJalapeno · 19-10-2017 10:37pm

Think I was 4th, aguero was my 1st choice and Got him, got morata 8 picks later!

I was 5th so because I picked Jesus after Kun was picked iirc.

I agree to a degree what some are saying about it being limited but would trading between teams really be much better ?

Surely you ain’t trading anybody that is scoring so I can’t imagine there would be much trading, between managers, going on.

Unless of course the trades could involve trading 1 player for 2 or 3 players but then how would that work.

Chesty08 · 20-10-2017 2:36pm

I was 7th or 8th pick in the draft. Ended up with a terrible frontline and just can't seem to get going at all. Anyone I wnat or feel can improve my team is taken and I'm just hitting and hoping at this stage

SteelyDanJalapeno · 21-10-2017 7:53pm

I did not realise we could Have move than 3 players from any team!

Green&Red · 23-10-2017 4:27pm

Thats incredibly tight at the top. Hopefully Alli, Hazard and Ramsey continue in good form although I have none of them on my actual team

So they worked out terribly, VVD getting good points but Zouma and the two west ham lads stunk the place out.

Hard to see clean sheets next weekend again outside of the top team, Brighton, Watford, maybe Leicester, Burnley?

Dearg81 · 25-10-2017 5:10pm

You forgot about Liverpool! :-) (and I'm a fan before klopparama berates me)

Green&Red · 25-10-2017 5:13pm

me too

Theres a few lads available but u cant trust them. The Ox or Sturridge would be good pick up if you knew theyd start

Dearg81 · 25-10-2017 8:03pm

They should be keeping Huddersfield out at home so I'm looking at Moreno and Gomez.

25-10-2017 9:48pm

This is why I was happy to try and get a fairly premium defence.

It’s a weekly headache finding a defender with a good fixture and I’m only looking for 1 as my other 4 defenders are season keepers.

Must be a pure head wreck trying to get 2 or 3 in weekly.

I don't mind, makes the game more interesting for me. I'll probably just do a striker and defender most weeks.

Green&Red · 26-10-2017 11:20am

I like the draft element of it, its great when it pays off

Green&Red · 27-10-2017 12:41pm

Really happy with my picks this week, I think I've a serious team this weekend, provided Crystal Palace do ok. Brought in
Gomez, Mertezaker, Dann
Xhaka, Cabeye
Hemed, Sturridge

27-10-2017 1:24pm

What böllocks took Deeney ?

Thought I could swap Gray out for him.

Ended up with Carroll.

Me again, sorry but any free striker scoring goals will more than likely will be in my team as first pick :-)

Trimm Trabb · 27-10-2017 2:23pm

Got in Oxlaide-Chamberlain for Shaqiri - after the unexpected success of Junior Stanislas last week hoping for another big haul.

The Ox has been bright off the bench recently and Coutinho is a doubt so hopefully this is one of the rare weeks where he translates some of his potential into points.

Green&Red · 27-10-2017 2:32pm

The guy at the top has picked up Llorente as a FA since lunch, great move

Fûckin scumbag.

But maybe that’s why he’s top.

They're playing United though so can't see him doing much.

Green&Red · 27-10-2017 2:56pm

Better than Sturridge, Deeney, Carroll

I have a sneaky feeling Hemed will do something, whether or not I leave him on my bench will probably be the deciding factor

I did pick him up on a whim really, he was available at 1PM, surprised no one else had got to him

It would be harsh to drop Murray after he scored twice so can't see him starting. Bench him.

Loving the mind games.

Green&Red · 27-10-2017 3:39pm

I could always just get Murray!
You'd love that Dearg wouldnt you

What a c**tbag

27-10-2017 3:46pm

We could actually go all out attack, on each other, in this thread and make it more fun than the draft game itself.

I’m drafting in Ibra this week and starting him just to showboat.

Fùck all y’all.

Green&Red · 27-10-2017 3:52pm

I bet you €50 you dont do that

Not sure you realise the folly of that bet.

I’ll let you off.

Haha go for it! There's only one good attacking player in that team and I've got him :-)

Green&Red · 27-10-2017 7:18pm

You’d be on a loser. All I’d have to do is draft him in and I’m €50 up

If I was Klopparama, I'd draft Ibra and then post challenge accepted - he's up E50.

If Ibra is unavailable, no bet.

Green&Red · 28-10-2017 7:34pm

Solid week for me, looks like I’ll make up 10 pts on the top three

patmac · 30-10-2017 3:25am

Was so tempted to enter this, jaysus its awful shiite, going by my experience in the standard game.

Not sure I understand what you're trying to say?

Draft is **** based on the normal fantasy game?
