Norwich City miss out.

Tottenham Hotspur next @Big-Red

To save some time, anyone who hasn't picked yet let me know if you're going to skip in advance due to not having Gold, not interested in the workaround or any of the players etc. And if anyone who is relatively close in the picks want to message me a ranked choice of three/four names in advance that'd be awesome too.

 

[CrackersJr]

Apologies for any delays in draft stuff – from posting who is next, to accepting bids. My dog had an operation last night to remove an eye, so spending a lot of time comforting him and ensuring he doesn't hurt himself.

awwww nooo poor pooch!

Really sorry to hear this. Draft isn’t important just hope you and the dog are well all things considered.

Thanks guys. Not getting much sleep but will do what I can.

Thank you. Draft over, workaround should be fine. Only caveat is I'll be waiting until after the Chelsea & Leeds drafts are finished before working out which teams are the go-between.

Chelsea & Leeds draft will start tomorrow – like last time, Bury, Reading, Torquay and Sheffield United feel free to message me your picks in order of priority in advance (3/4 names for each club)

Bury Saka and Estevao is probably the best draft pick you could ever have made at this point.

Bury's made themselves a great potential attack (in the next two seasons anyway) from the last two drafts: Kudus, Gittens, Saka and Estevao
