Well, people are prone to argue all sorts of things, of course. But for a modern fullback, Cole is defensively pretty solid - and, like I said, practically famous for taking care of certain top wingers, one in particular.

blocked!
And rightly so. Cole was fantastic at his peak.
Obviously we've mentioned before how ridiculous these drafts can be, and Cole would be a decent example. Maldini in these things can shut out Garrincha whereas many would portray Cole as getting completely dominated for 90 minutes. Maldini was obviously better, but it's nothing like the absolute chasm which is how it plays out on here.
He was indeed. All time England at LB for my money - and quite comfortably so too.
Fact is that even after his peak he was still very handy against a trickster out wide. When Chelsea famously parked the bus at times, Cole didn't look out of place as a pure defender. Which is very rare for a modern fullback.
Mostly agree, but Raees > MDFC and I like my names better than Harms so far, though that might be due to a lack of familiarity with Perez.
I've put them both as equal in 3rd position.
Agree, I should rate you above harms by that reason.
If only I was allowed to change my votes, I would have made it top of 1 sheep list! 
It's hard to compare though, my defender is better, but yours is quality, I like my creative player better, but it's arguable, I think, and how to compare a striker with a goalie? Sanchez was a better striker than Perez was a goalkeeper, I'd say. Don't know what to do with that comparison
I don't mind, but make sure that you lock all your doors at night. I have an unstable personality in my team, he takes everything as an insult. 
In terms of a draft game I'd, actually, put myself ahead of kps, as keepers mean less than outfield players in those things, and I rate my outfielders higher (his keeper is undoubtedly superior to mine). In terms of a drafting he's been better than me so far.
Too early to judge anyway. Interesting, but just too early - when we have 5 or 6 players than you can see what teams are about, right now it's just three individuals mostly.
At least 2 of the managers sent their pick to Skizzo without adding me to the conversation. If you want the possibility of a morning reveal when Skizzo is peacefully sleeping in his time-zone for hours and keeping you waiting, I need all picks for all rounds, so it would be good to fix this as soon as possible.
The following managers have ignored me so far:
@BorisDeLeFora @Annahnomoss @Cutch @Kazi @NM @MDFC Manager @NoPace @Raees
If you haven't sent your pick yet, no need to rush, still 12hours left on the deadline. But if you're on that list and already sent your pick, shame on you!

Guys, you don't need to apologise, the ignoring thing wasn't really meant to be taken seriously. It's just a reminder, because a few of you forgot or missed the post. That's all
Got a feeling this might be the first Messi round where some of the big boys go unpicked.
@Theon check PMs

It' s called the player snatch round

Some big boys that will be blocked just sat there waiting last time around. And for some it may end in "we go again".
This would be a terrible round to get a sheep in given the talent pool here
Just checked if the guy that scored the screamer in WC94 is one of them, but no, just the 74 for Saeed Al-Owairan
That would be comedy gold!
OMG now everybody knows about him... Thought he'd just about sneak through.
Another 5 hours or so to go. Expected this round to finish faster tbh.
How many to submit?
I hope people have backup choices ready as the coming picks can be made quicker!

I have 11 so far. It's possible that @Skizzo has more.
Just sent in my block
Had a look back, utter carnage.
Sending in my block now
Has MJJ sent his? It must be night time till now for him.
who else is missing?
who else is missing?
Be home in a few. I'll take a look and see who's missing.
Do we still have 9 hrs to go?
Yeah first pick is always longer. I thought this would be quicker. I have 13 turned in.
Sent it in.. Probably blocked
Thats my pick sent there now, so just the 2 left
I'm confident GOATS will be picked in this round Too many to all be blocked.
