Is there a rule in place that you should PM the next person who has to pick after you've made yours? If not, there should be.

Also a few things im curious about... say you draft an injury prone player, id assume this doesent count against him when it comes to playoff matches against apponents as the other poster cant just say a well even if he might be able to tear my defender to shreds / easily handel my attacker the fact that he is injured so often counts against him can they

I'd be inclined to agree with this. Some players are fantastic for both club and country, but may have been injured for a large portion of (or repeatedly during) the season, so I don't think it should count against them.

Sorry for the delay folks, the wifi in Indonesia isn't the sharpest.

Minto · 06-06-2010 01:35PM

Pick made. Delighted to get van Persie!

eagle eye · 06-06-2010 01:40PM

I have to say that Van Persie is a great pick at this stage. With people saying that injuries are not important, Van Persie rises a lot higher than where you picked him imo.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 06-06-2010 02:02PM

That video of RvP is pretty class. To have him fit for a whole season would be incredible:(.

Think he will shine at the World Cup so very good pick if it's based on that form, but perhaps the injuries should come into it to an extent.

SlickRic · 06-06-2010 02:12PM

for some reason, i thought VP might be one to slip under the radar for a while.

solid pick.

Mr.Nice Guy · 06-06-2010 04:04PM

Does BigBenRoeth know it's his turn because his profile says he was on at 15:27.

Minto · 06-06-2010 04:10PM

I PM'd him just after I made my pick, so he should do!

titan18 · 06-06-2010 04:11PM

I remember the Premiership draft we had, injuries were taken into account as over the course of a season an injury prone player like RVP has a high chance of missing games.I think this is the same for the World Cup as if a country gets to the final, they're playing a lot of games in a short space of time, so I'm going to be putting injuries into it, and even though on form and when playing RVP is very good, chances are he'll miss games.

Bounty Hunter · 06-06-2010 04:14PM

also wonder how much does this world cup affect things? for instance since he has already been drafted ill use drogba as an example, what if he has no impact whilst playing injured and they go out. Are we supposed to think less of him in this?

is how we vote on who would win just down to personal preferences on things like this and injuries etc?

have a list of picks now and RVP was the first ive crossed off it as i knew the others would be gone for sure before my go

Picked Palacios

No better man

redzerdrog · 06-06-2010 04:46PM

poor pick imo because you could have waited till at least round 5 or 6 and still would have got him

no doubt a very good player.

but i hope you don't regret not going for a proven international quality player.

i genuinely think there are others you could have got first, and still got Palacios.

BigBenRoeth · 06-06-2010 04:47PM

I was gonna wait a bit but I would've been quare vexed if he was gone

there are also better players who do what he does.

but, either way, i genuinely don't want to suck the life out your pick! i look forward to seeing who you try to build around him.

titan18 · 06-06-2010 05:01PM

Strange pick, would probably have been still there in a few rounds. He's a good player though

Palacios was a player I had earmarked as one who would slip under the radar and be a great value pick in the later rounds. Very good player but picked way too early IMO.

Did you pm the next person to pick?

Frisbee · 06-06-2010 06:14PM

Palacios in Round 1 is very odd, he easily would have still been there in round 4 or 5 as there's a host of other players in the same ilk that are better than him.

I did to be sure

The Volt · 06-06-2010 06:29PM

Yeah Palacios is odd alright. He's definitely not in the bracket of the other picks so far.

curry-muff · 06-06-2010 06:29PM

I was gona go for a team of duds and pick Heskey first but now that he picked someone like Palacios first, my joke team wouldnt be as funny, now Ive to take it serious, watch out guys :P

Frisbee · 06-06-2010 06:43PM

Mitch takes Wesley, I was stupidly hoping he might slide through until the next round.

titan18 · 06-06-2010 06:44PM

Was hoping Sneijder would be there for me in a few picks time, think he's a better player than a few already taken

curry-muff · 06-06-2010 07:05PM

Picked and pm'd.

Really glad to get Julio Cesar, I know keeper for first choice isn't the norm, but he is the best in the world

Arguably the best, I think he is, but I wouldn't argue with anyone who says that Casillas or Buffon is better
