It’s **** you missed out in the draft. Although it saved you the tension.

Auto pick didn’t work out too badly for you but I’m sure it’s knocked a bit of the shine off for you already.

Pepe probably the glaring pick you wouldn’t have made.

That was my point, there was no auto-pick, I had my watchlist set up since the weekend

I fancy Arsenal and Pepe to do well, have him in my GW1 team

Trimm Trabb · 07-09-2020 10:53pm

Did we spot CSF was gonna walk it last year? Always hard to know until the games start. Transfers could effect us big time this year too.

Reasonably happy with my team but auto picked Pogba by mistake - who knows it might work out. I've got a lot more injury prone players than I might have normally picked without time panic!

Interesting tactics from CSF, he went all in on defence and got TAA and Robertson. I did the opposite and picked my attack first.

I did the same last year. I had Trent towards the end of the first round on my board (I believe there is still more to come) so was delighted to be able to pick him up after Sterling in the first.

Appreciate the kind words klopparama and reckon we were likely on the same wavelengths as alot of your players were people I would have wanted at similar stages, which probably explains the high opinions of each other's teams.

And interestingly we actually play each other in week 1. Good week to get me, since I'd be one of the guys whose first round pick doesn't play week 1.

I see. Still reckon you’d have done better ‘live’.

Your order would have changed. Anyway.

I added to my watch list but I did it alphabetically (Arsenal to wolves) so my watch list saved them in that order. Then I couldn’t reorder my watch list by just clicking on ‘draft number order’. Terrible website. So I deleted it and set two alarms. Had 2 coffees at 6.15am. Buzzing off my tits now.

I was not one of the teams people were hot on the thread after last year's draft night, no. I had a really good feeling about my own one though, probably moreso than I do this year's. All of which likely means nowt in the grand scheme of things.

Jesus.

I drafted Sigurdsson. Panic draft if there was ever one.

Does he even get in to the Everton team anymore ?

Depends where James is going to play really. If they're playing Allan and Doucoure in the middle and play James wide, he could be a good option.

Chesty08 · 07-09-2020 11:17pm

Bloody hell, hadn’t got this thread saved as a follow and thought the draft was on Tuesday night.

Went looking for thread now to see what the crack was for tomorrow!

Good luck all

Good. Then my brain processed all that information, at the time, and that’s why I did i it.

Good old brain. Maybe I haven’t damaged it irrevocably after all.

He tried me too! - Pogba & Adams for Redmond & Ings!

Testing the waters I think!

Trimm Trabb · 10-09-2020 6:14pm

Hoping someone is a Pogba fan - tried giving more with the second player offered to tip the balance into making it legitimate offer but it’s hard to come up offer that both parties are happy with.

The Megaphone · 10-09-2020 7:56pm

Pogba off penalties lowers his appeal!

Your 2nd player offer to me was your Baldock to my VVD?!

Was probably offering you Pogba for your worst mid? Redmond it was off memory..

So essentially it would be Pogba for Van Djik and then Baldock for Redmond.. still a reach I admit. Auto pick of Pogba hurts - he could come good though if he's fit so maybe I'll be happy in the end.

CSF · 10-09-2020 10:51pm

I’ve received no trade offers. My guys are starting to feel a bit unwanted. Poor Mason hasn’t slept in days.

10-09-2020 11:05pm

I drafted Alli for the second year in a row. Got rid of him fairly promptly last time.

He’s available. I don’t like having players I don’t like (in real life) in my team. Although I can probably afford to hold him for a few weeks as it’s not an urgent issue.

Will set a reminder next year to not draft Alli.

The Megaphone · 11-09-2020 11:28am

It was a long shot but I was hoping a few people had forgotten about today's waiver deadline!

I wanted Rodriguez, but I got Wilson at least, is there a list of who else got taken?

The Megaphone · 11-09-2020 11:43am

The FPL Draft section should open on the 'Status' tab - and then on right under your own information (favourite club, etc) is a 'View Transactions' button - then just select 'all' under the Manager drop-down list!

Looking through the list, i'm glad you got him - the waivers are so important in terms of c0ckblocking!

11-09-2020 11:51am

I was offered a trade but only seen it now as I don’t log in to the draft section during the week.

Maybe it’s an idea to notify someone you made an offer, in this thread, so at least it might be spotted before the free waiver.

You don’t have to detail the offer on the thread just ‘I made you an offer’ kind of thing.

Triple Arsenal defence this weekend - yikes

A compliment of course, for the having the foresight to pick him up!

But looking at Green&Red's team, I think Wilson would have strengthened his attack more with Kean being extra rubbish!

Ok I think I understand, and yes I am also pleased at taking Wilson as a 2nd choice waiver pick this week

The Megaphone · 11-09-2020 1:17pm

Kean burned me last year so I'm extra negative when it comes to him!

Not really interested in any of the Man City midfielders other than KDB, Sterling and Mahrez given the H2H nature of the league. Hard to get reliable minutes on a week to week basis, and of the ones that aren't nailed, only Mahrez has that explosiveness that makes the weeks he misses worth it.

Solid triple up on the Arsenal defence

Arsenal and United are teams I ended up completely without in this. Arsenal very much a game of 2 halves today. First half, they looked really ropey and probably doing well to be ahead. Second half, they really really looked the part.

Excellent, my plan to get 1st pick in the next waivers has come to fruition! :rolleyes:

Looking for something in a new midfielder - possibly to replace Redmond as have too many players from Southampton, need to build out my selection of players from different clubs to jump on good fixtures!

* Edit - Man Utd loan signing of Bale classified as a midfielder would be welcome!

I'd be worried about Bales commitment, ignore that lad :-)

That Podence waiver pick looking a lot better right now with that Jota news.

Green&Red · 18-09-2020 7:16pm

Was surprised to pick up Bamford

One of the things I love about draft is a full new back line each week

Dearg81 · 19-09-2020 7:47pm

Zaha on my bench with 15 points :-(
