I will.
New Fantasy Draft
- Thread starter Cal?
- Start date
yes sir
ok you do it
Already done.
Good, my next choice hasn't been taken yet. 
I have a couple in mind and neither are allowed to be chosen until my go. Thanks.
Thanks for the multiple PMs and emails guys. I got yours 4 times, K Stand! But I'm on this thread almost every hour these days, so don't worry about me delaying.
Anyway, seeing as we're doing attacking midfielders now, I needed someone to partner Bale on the wings.
So I'm going for Adem Ljajic

Last one to pick before me and you've completely screwed up my plan of the Dortmund CB partnership.
Anyway, I'll stick to the tested method of going with United players.
Anderson Luís de Abreu Oliveira
Will be a United player before too long... its Jack Rodwell
Surprised he's picked so late.
I'm not, never actually seen Rodwell do anything particularly impressive.
Anderson, on the other hand, I'm quite surprised hasn't been picked earlier.
I think he's going to be a really top class player. Time will tell though. It's always fun with these drafts how the perception of a good pick changes after a few years.
it was mentioned earlier, but we should save this thread and in a few years time, revisit it and hold the same tournament - see how the results vary.
As for Rodwell, he may have potential but he hasnt really started fulfilling it yet - similar story with Anderson to a lesser degree.

bugger. nice pick.Another emerging german talent and a decent eye for goal
Mats Hummels
I was just going to say that! Anyway suprised that both are just getting picked now as I assumed they were far more obvious picks than some of the other names coming out of the hat.
That's all very well, but I made it very clear on the page one that:
* Players chosen will be judged on their careers so far, everything they have achieved, selection should not be based on how good you think they'd become.
that i agree. Frankly theres still plenty more which i am surprised havent been picked yet. My turn(s) are coming up soon, fingers crossed they last a couple picks longer.
He's the future, he's the present...
Adam Johnson
Adam Johnson
Some of you are going to be fecked when it gets to defenders and keepers.
That's basically my way of saying a big feck you to Cling Bak for taking Johnson.

I don't doubt I need a couple, but I couldn't pass that one up in favour of a defender of the future who people haven't heard of.
im afraid Johnson was always going to go before your turn

Is that wink a jab at Badstuber? He's a good defender, I'm sure many have heard of him?
If not then erm....carry on.
i think hes pretty confident after completing a pretty exciting forward line
Stop butting in, you.
Definitely not Badstuber, but a few weird ones have come out, I think we can agree.
We all know you're gutted at missing out on Chris Wood.
I wanted Chris Woods.
I'm quite happy with the spine of my team so far...
Felipe Caicedo

For my next pick, surprised he has gone quite so long. Having a stormer or a season and plenty of PL experience...
Danny Welbeck

You call that experience?
Try Marouane Fellaini on for size
And joining him at the risk of losing the sites Arsenal fans is Ryan Shawcross

Oh ffs Fellaini gone.
Fellaini was one of my other top picks, but theres still plenty of good midfielders around to be had.
Central defenders on the other hand, are a bit more of a rarity, and so with that in mind, form is temporary class is permanent and he showed last season that he is a bloody solid centre back. Continuing the united theme, you all know him, its Jonny Evans

And with that fun and merriment out of the way, I am off to work.
A few steals, there. KM's go again?
Nicolás Otamendi
Aye, I pmd him.
Glad I got Evans too, probably wasnt picked earlier because he isn't having a great season, but looking at his overall career I would still rate him higher than smalling, and certainly above the likes of shawcross who have never played at the top level in the CL against the likes of pato and aguero.
