Fantasy Draft DISCUSSION ONLY Thread

in hindsight i should also have picked more United players while they were still available - too late now unfortunately

I tried to look past the United bias and go for the best players but that was probably pointless seeing as this is a United forum and the voting is likely to go that way!

Come on roodboy, I feel very sleepy after watching 120 minutes of Scouse...

Erics Collar continues to impress, Okocha was one of the players who I'd have picked earlier had I been participating.
 
Cheers Top. Was just about to pick another player, when I realised Okocha hadn't been picked.

4 picks in half an hour tonight. Awesome.
 
i couldnt believe it took until now for Beardsley to be picked - so many average players have gone before him

i had already sorted my strikers or I would have gone for him long ago - i was actually considering changing my formation to try and accomodate him -

good pick Cal - although how are you going to set the team up? You already have Sherringham, Van Persie and Ronaldo !


my team so far:

-----
----- ----- Terry -----
Barnes Scholes Petit Waddle
Owen Klinsmann​

I'm going to put him as an attacking midfielder... can't really put Sheringham or Van Persie in midfield, can I?
 
C.Ronaldo, VDS, Essien, Sheringham, Johnsen, Van Persie, Beardsley

My team so far:

----------------------- Van der Sar ------------------
-- xxxx -------- xxxx ------- Johnsen ------ xxxx -----
---------------- Essien ------ xxxxxx ----------------
--- Ronaldo ---------- Beardsley -------- Van Persie --
---------------------- Sheringham -------------------

you read my mind on my question (see my edited post above !)

quite an attacking formation you are going for ...
 
My team so far....

-------------------XXX--------------

--Mellberg----XXX----Vidic-----XXX--

----XXX----Keane---Okocha---Robben-

------------Tevez---Yorke-----------
 
Mine so far:

--------------- Seaman ----------------
xxxx ---- Brown ---- xxxxx ---- Irwin
Arteta ---- xxxxx --- xxxxx ---- Giggs
--------- Berbatov -- Ferdinand -------

Arteta can also go centre mid and Brown can also go right back so I'm not sure which positions they will be yet.
 
Noooo, I was gonna pick Jay-Jay. :(

It feels like my team is the weakest so far.

--------------- Cudicini -----------------
G. Neville ---- Toure ---- xxxxx ---- xxxxx
----------------Makelele----------------
--------xxxxx --- xxxxx ---- Duff--------
------------ Saha -- Henry--------------
 
---------------------James
--XXX----Campbell-----XXX----Silvestre

--Overmars----XXX---Le Tissier---XXX

-------------Yeboah
--------------------Van Nistelrooy
 
I wanted Okocha earlier, but I didn't know where to put him (CM or CF) becasue I wanted to play 4-4-2.

--------------- Cech ----------------
xxxx ---- Carragher ---- Gallas ---- xxxxx
xxxxx ---- Gerrard --- xxxxx ----Ljungberg
--------- Hughes -- Hasselbaink -------

my team is quite shite

You have the best right-back, probably the best striker and arguably best holding midfielder in Premier League history.

3 claims to the best in their position. As I said earlier in the thread, some people will wind up not having 1 player who is deemed the best in their position.

So I'd suggest not. :)
 
--------------- Given ----------------
xxxx ---- Adams ---- xxxxx ---- Clichy
xxxxx --------- Carrick -------xxxxx
----------------Gudjohnsen-----------
--------- Cantona -- Adebayor -------

I reckon my team is shaping up quite nicely. Of course once all 16 players have been selected, different formations will be able to be used. Got a few players in mind for my next pick, hope they don't get taken.

Who are they? Go on, tell us.
 
So, Danish has completed the first defensive quartet with goalkeeper. Initially I could have bet my house that Sharky would have done that before anyone...

But, having said that, quite a wonderful defence, Danish's...

O yes that's right... On my list, I had exchanged Alonso and Carragher between Smash-E's and Danish's pick in one round... So no defensive quartet completed yet... But, if there is anyone whose defence is likely to match Sparky's, then it's Danish's...
