    Just realised the person i had earmarked for CF is no longer a premier league player!!! I had thought he was on loan elsewhere but he has actually transfered

    Back to the drawing board

    I've just realised my team is basically the same as yours so far with some slight variants in positions haha.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,662 ✭✭✭wrestlemaniac


    Special round has begun. So interesting to see how every one goes with this pick.


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


    Have to say that is some front three that Glados has.


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

    Quite tasty alright. there is one massive name left that I am hoping someone helps out by picking before me as I might find it hard to let him pass me by but he probably wouldn't suit who I've already picked perfectly.

    After that can you all just pick CBs, i've already got 2 of them ;):D

    Is the legends round their form from 2010 onwards? Or total premier league form?

    My understanding is total Premier league form.


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


    My understanding is total Premier league form.

    Yeah I believe that is what was said. There was discussion about making it 2010 onwards form but iirc it was said it was too late to change things at that point.

    I've been thinking about this massive name but haven't come up with anything yet.

    Some teams shaping up nicely now we are half way through. The last pick or two may see a big drop off in quality.

    I'd assume it's the same guy that Liam O was describing as argueably the best player ever in the premier league previously when he wanted based off the post 2010 form. Obviously don't think it's right to name names in this thread prior to people being picked though

    Total form.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,503 ✭✭✭brianregan09


    There was so many ways I wanted to go with my pick but I think i went with the common sense pick in the end seen as i had no defence to speak of

    Can't go wrong with Kompany

    That makes sense, good to have you on board and good man WM.

    Just justifying my pick in my head, will have it up soon, then it will be you Daithi, followed by the bauld maniac himself.


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


    Ha, completely forgot about his loan back. Very clever.

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

    That's why I was asking the question! Think he might have got through to me too I'd wasn't for that pesky BH

    No chance haha


  • Posts: 13,753 ✭✭✭✭ Halle Nutty Mayonnaise


    I have a bit of a dilemma which hopefully someone selecting before me can solve.


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


    There is a similar pick to Henry I was considering in terms of Legend who many might not think is eligible that is still on the board, but just couldn't pass up Thierry even though I had thought he would be gone before it was my turn tbh. Henry & Kane up front... so wrong it's right :pac:


  • Posts: 13,753 ✭✭✭✭ Halle Nutty Mayonnaise


    replace Kids with BH :D

    He's part of my aforementioned dilemma haha.

    be interesting to see if others make your decision easier for you like I was kind of hoping. In some ways you made my decision easier for me... You named me Le Champion in the OP. Le Champion has to have some french Va Va Voom afterall

    Would have liked Terry or Kompany to have slipped through to me, but happy to have Hazard in the bag; the man kept Chelsea in many a game single handedly many a time!

    Patrick Vieira has been the first pick I completely forgot about, his spell at City was not in my memory whatsoever. Great pick in fairness.

    Yeah Viera thanks to that City Stint was the other guy I was talking about, nice pick there alright. Still quality picks left for everyone in this round though
