    I accept I have a lot to gain from this :pac: but can I suggest the special round be moved to an even numbered round? As it stands Redzerdog get first pick in the first round and the special round.

    Edit: Actually Redzerdog made his pick so prob not fair to change it now

    Maybe do another random draw for the special pick round? Does seem a bit of an advantage

    I assume round 2 will be in reverse order, and so on? Worked well last time and gives everyone a chance.

    I am completely easy with what happens in the special pick round. Should we put in a bit of a write up when we are selecting players or just keep it brief? I have gone with Aguero anyway. Also redzerdog PM'd me to say it was my pick and I have done the same to Incognito Man, I suggest everyone does the same to keep it flowing.

    Yeah reverse order at the very least in the first two rounds usually is a good idea.

    If there is only to be one special round it probably should not have the same order as the first round alright as that might be too much of an advantage for the early posters. Think I did one or two of these soccer ones before where there was for example a "legends round" and that had the reverse order of the 1st round or if there were 2 special rounds the 2nd one would be a reversal of the 1st one.

    I should be. I was receiving them in the PW draft.

    I've sent one to wrestlemaniac.

    PM sent to daithi1989.

    Thanks for running this by the way H. I'm looking forward to the latter rounds especially and how people go about constructing their teams.

    My name isn't on the list in the picks thread, can i get it added? Will end up being missed and causing confusion.

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

    pick made, pm sent.

    didn't get a pm myself but that's ok as the person before me was being picked for by proxy but would suggest if possible to send one to the next person as it'll keep things flowing better.

    Very Happy with Kane, solid starting point I can build around

    Apologies BH, didn't even enter my mind to send a PM to you after posting Dáithí pick.

    No worries dude, only mentioned it as we are in rd1 and it's best to get everyone in that habit early. Don't think it slowed us down any anyway

    It'll be based off their entire time in the Premier League, so his peak.

    So David Silva will be based off his entire career in the Premier League. His Valencia or Spain performances won't count.

    Going by this on Pg1, Silva being just taken is great Value in this draft and very deserving of being a Rd1 pick.

    Very happy with Sterling and Son as my first 2 picks. Was debating whether to put both my picks into attacking options but this gives me a very flexible attacking base to work with.

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

    Surprised my next choice is still on the board with one person left but I guess I wasn't expecting Bruno/Milner already. So many Premiership teams play only 1 star striker these days (although great AM/WFs) so I thought people would focus there to start with. tbh if someone like Auba was still available I'd probably have taken him cos very few teams would have the same firepower as a Kane/Auba double act at the end
