Superb choice mate. Best keeper in the draft.

Great pick at this stage too

EDIT: He's taken my you, well played sir

Search doesn't work when people just post pics instead of name. Also you have accents & stuff.

Cool with what you think here mate. Are we going to do steals after group play in knockout round?

I'd rather skip that part this time around.

I've lost track has everyone made their picks?

Max_powers · « **Reply #769 on:** July 1, 2019, 06:55:41 am »

Decided not to change the Albert pick. Sorry didn't mean to create any controversy. Was just trying to be cheeky. If I knew that I couldn't draft Albert I would have made some different decisions in previous rounds.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #770 on:** July 1, 2019, 01:37:43 pm »

2 Groups of 4
2 Groups of 3

2 advance in each group of 4
1 advances from each group of 3

If anyone has a better idea please feel free to share your thoughts.

Let me know and we can start tomorrow or perhaps later in the day

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #771 on:** July 1, 2019, 01:52:10 pm »

Seems fine to me, I mean the Falklander Islanders are British...

Can only vote for one team in the draft so needs to be fixed. Plus I've updated my write up.

Tie-beakers [for further placement] will be head to head record and in case of a draw in such a scenario the voting differential will be the final factor.

Will make an adjustment so first two teams from Group C and D go through so we have an even amount of matches in the next round👍

Completed missed my second game in this whilst I was off on my stag do only to look and find I’d lost by one. Shows the importance of voting!

That sucks mate but you still have a shot to go through

Hey lads! Be sure to volunteer (for those that have yet to) for the pre-game write ups for LFC this year. BD Nick & Hazell are in!

We need scribes to write the first post as we begin another epic year. Still some 30 odd games not accounted for in the season. After this Balkan draft, I know you lads have it in you to produce some quality analysis. Oh, and you might get a vote from me if you do it soon, as every year Titi puts in the time to only have people back out or to have to scramble to get writers at the last moment (not because of his planning mind you).

Lets sign up early and often for RAWK, and please contact Titi Camara with your availability (you can take two games if you want)
