Topic: The English Football Poker/Brinkmanship/Chicken/FFS Draft - Rules and Round 11

Super sub comes from the banned players right?

My take is that super subs come from Tier 1 teams that have not had a player blocked/chosen and then if blocked we go to Tier 2 teams... Subtle difference as they were not an eligible pick after their tier but were not selected either.

JK, clarification?

[Max_powers]

Two picks. Two blocks. Amazing!

Hey, drafters, leave Rondon alone

JK, clarification?

It’s the same as every other round except no positional restrictions.

So it’s any player from last season’s top 6 who hasn’t been picked or blocked yet.

[Max_powers]

I am taking Ryan Fraser and Theo Walcott. Stay away from those two. Its not that hard people.

[Adz LFC]

I'm taking jiminez

Same

[Hazell]

Trend has the greatest love of my life at present up front in Divock Origi. Ergo, he should win.

[mikey_LFC]

Think I’ll go for Paul Pogba as my super sub as he’s got a bit of versatility of how he can be deployed.

Let me know if anyone else is going for him and I’ll reconsider.

Might not be the most appreciated pick but given the players left think he’s the most suitable.

Righto cheers

[Trendisnotdestiny]

We aim to please here at the publication for cock blocking (pube-f-cock-blo for short). 

Our subscriptions have been down lately, which is fucking appalling on all fronts and Chak's my nutsack, but with more Adz revenue and writing to max of our efforts, I am sure we can produce enough joie-de-viva, run-on Claus(es), and whoopie cushioned headers.  Long term trends are high when we look at the de facts.  Only a total Jersey City Klepto from the LFsea would have issues against our circulation.

Just wanted to remind everyone this was written for your amusement (ahem must have been missed in the melee of cock blocks).

[JerseyKloppite]

Fuckingappalled - Rondon (ST), Giroud (Sub)
Max - Fraser(LW) and Walcott(ST), Alderweireld (Sub)
DeFacto - Keita (Sub)
Claus - Jimenez (ST), Rashford (Sub)
Lovely - Ozil (Sub)
MikeyLFC - Pogba (Sub)
Vish - Babel (LW), Deeney (ST), Oxlade-Chamberlain (Sub)
Adz - Ings (LW), Jimenez (ST), Pedro (Sub)
TrendChak - Keita (Sub)
Viva - Drogba (Sub)

Babel, Ings and Fraser are fine so LWs are done.
Jimenez is invalid. Rondon, Walcott and Deeney are fine.
Giroud, Alderweireld, Rashford, Ozil, Pogba, Ox, Pedro and Drogba are fine. Though Viva needs to tell me which season’s Drogba he wants! Keita is invalid.

So I need:

Tier 3 STs from Claus, Viva and Adz.
Tier 2 Super Subs from TrendChak and deFacto.

And that might just be that...

24 hours etc! Will update teams soon, still sending these from my phone.

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

Love how Viva is going to end up with Glenn Murray up front and Drogba on the bench.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Damn it Trend....

[mikey_LFC]

So my side is:

GK:Rui Patricio
RB: Martin Montoya
LB: Ben Chilwell
CB: Davinson Sanchez
CB: Marco Materazzi (98/99)
CM: Youri Tielemans
CM: Javier Mascherano (08/09)
AM: Gini Wijnaldum
RW: Lucas Moura
LW: Willian
ST: Luis Suarez (13/14)

Sub: Paul Pogba

[Chakan]

Damn it Trend....

Seriously?! Everyone to pick from and you block us?? Whyyyyy?

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Seriously?! Everyone to pick from and you block us?? Whyyyyy?

I ask you the same question!

[mikey_LFC]

So what's next? Have we still got rounds to run for some?

[Something Worse]

So what's next? Have we still got rounds to run for some?

Me and Adz both picked Wilson so another round for us at least

[vivabobbygraham]

Who is this now.....

Claus

[Trendisnotdestiny]

[vivabobbygraham]

Claus

 

What happened there, mate?

[Something Worse]

What happened there, mate?

It's a long story!

[deFacto please, you bastards]

HAHAHAH. Oh Claus bless you

[Trendisnotdestiny]

It's a long story!

We have long ears - would love to hear about it

[JerseyKloppite]

Right, nearly there.

DeFacto picked Ndidi as his super sub. Fine.
Viva picked Mitrovic as his striker, also fine.
TrendChak picked Milivojevic as their super sub. Fine.
Adz and Claus both picked Wilson. So I need a tier 4 striker please from both, then we’re done and the games commence.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Anyone know how to get this https://www.buildlineup.com/

Use the snipping tool on your desktop/laptop, then upload it to an image hosting site?

Snipping tool?  Thanks Claus.  Nothing getting me jumblies snipped, quipped, and shipped in 10 minutes on the web!

LUKA MODRIC (2011-2012 Season) - Sorry JK

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Snipping tool?

Not what they use to circumcise you   

[mikey_LFC]

Snipping tool?

Go into search on your desktop. Type in snipping tool. And there you are.

Basically let’s you cut and paste anything by just selecting it.

[vivabobbygraham]

Oof! That was painful De. Felt that in the nether regions...that  C word always does it to me

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Here's Trend-Chak's Lineup after 1 minute substitute

[vivabobbygraham]

Here's Trend-Chak's Lineup after 1 minute substitute

Yeah, but, where's the biogs and tactics write up Trend? My favourite bedtime reading....well, that and Jackie Collins, like

[mikey_LFC]

Just checking but after the substitutions don’t players have to stay in their original positions?

Otherwise it kind of defeats the point of the positions based draft?

I thought we should post the drafted XIs with the sub mentioned, and in the write ups we can say who the sub comes on for but without any significant change in others positions?

Its written in invisible ink in honor of F-Appalled, who tends to like small words (things) with big meaning

Tactics, you say? 

Finishing the draft without deFacto writing the same exact thing and submitting it!!!!

But when I bring Drogba on after one minute, I need De Bruyne moving from RB into an advanced position on the right to whip in crosses for him. That's okay, isn't it, mate? Change of player from the bench, change of tactics, surely...

I submitted the second one as kind of:

1.  A joke, a lark, a laughable understanding between mates of the absurdity of our sheep
2.  Highlighting how we might actually play if allowed to field our best 11 in favorable positions.

This was intended to be only a shits and giggles lineup and not something I wish to write a dissertation upon.

Worry... worry worry.
