Some of you have picked some turd players though Also, if your team isn't likely to win the draft anyway you may as well gamble on it.

I'd say Kyle Walker for Rob Jones was a huge upgrade for sure!

Some gamble

Of the picks so far, we've had the shining lights of Poulsen, Carlton Palmer and Sakho.

Pogba and Owen and good players but both very tainted by Manc associations. Rob Jones is ace but he's not exactly a Messi level upgrade on any of the RBs

Look at this way, all those fools who have already picked a number have taken out the shite players for you!

Only players I might have dropped are Blanc at CB and Milner at RB. But happy enough with both of them.

Great player but he's no Dirk Kuyt.

No idea how he'd go down in a draft to be honest. One of those names people respect obviously but not sure if he's a vote winner.

Better than the others that have come up though!

I want another round where we can pick any player who's won the Spanish, Italian or German leagues

I think that's the next draft! Although I have an idea for a different one if people want to mix it up.

Got to have a representative of the greatest ever league winners. The real invincibles

Quote

Trainer enjoyed his greatest success at Preston North End as a member of the 'Invincibles'. Curiously he had impressed North End while playing for Bolton at Deepdale, the home of Preston North End, in a match in which he let in 12 goals. He first appeared for North End in August 1887 on a short tour of Scotland. Although he was on the losing side against Hibernian, it was another eight months before he tasted defeat again. Trainer sharpened up his catching ability by playing for the club's baseball team and in North End's pre–League days was known to 'wear a mackintosh' and 'shelter under an umbrella' during a game.[2]

Jimmy Trainer made his League debut on 8 September 1888 in goal for Preston North End against Burnley at Deepdale. Preston won 5-2. Jimmy Trainer played 20 of Preston' 22 League Championship matches and as a goalkeeper played in a Preston North End defence that achieved 12 clean-sheets and restricted the opposition to one–League–goal–in–a–match on three separate occasions. Jimmy Trainer assisted Preston North End to be 1888–89 League Champions. Preston North End went onto win the 1889 FA Cup and complete the first–ever double. However, in 1888 Preston practiced what is common practive now. The No:2 goalkeeper played in FA Cup ties and so Trainer did not play in the 1889 FA Cup campaign.[3]

Between 1888 and 1897 Trainer played in 253 games for Preston, and after retiring he became landlord of the Lamb Hotel in Preston.

He later moved to London, where his business failed. He died in poverty in 1915.[4]

"He later moved to London, where his business failed. He died in poverty in 1915."

What an amazing last sentence of a biography.

Gundogan out, Zola in, and Lampard and Zola trade positions. Man, that would've been something. Hell of a risk to take from your position though.

Epic fail. Whoever got Klopp could've walked this draft on his name alone.

I wasn't even aware that was a possibility. I thought it would only be players from PL.

He was a pretty shit as a player anyways according to the legend himself.
