I changed VVD to Liverpool since Tremenderson basically wanted me to do it and since I don't think he was at his best at Southampton.

I didn’t even get to change mine, Jordan did it for me.

I felt at the time there was nothing wrong being picked for southampton but if jordan feels differently then so be it. he was there for like two or three seasons. it was nothing like the salah pick for chelsea

[Lawnmowerman]

Just seen Elmo has picked Cantona. Bullied a weak Premier League, but shite in Europe. Suppose it is a Premier League draft so he might be ok but still a bit overrated I reckon. Hated him at the time, obviously.

Is it Bobby then me? Popping out shortly but can leave my pick with a kind volunteer as I think I’m certain to get him.

Not arsed about him meself but there's no doubting he's a premier league icon and capable of the odd bit of magic

And he’s a bit enigmatic and mysterious like your old pal AWWYC which is a nice tribute.

Much obliged.

Off! Off! Off! It’s an early bath for you Cantona!

Talk about an overreaction from him.

Was actually 'Mr Cantona'.  Incredible stuff.

                      Maklelele   Scholes

                           David Silva

                            Andy Cole

Not to shabby that.

[Crosby Nick]

Did nooo get an agenda.

Well, did from Lastrador just seen that. Anyway, time for me to pick Chelsea’s greatest centre back of the Premier League era.

[vivabobbygraham]

Sorry Nicky, it was my shout which I have just sent over

No worries Roberto, all good. I’ve PM’d Hazell.

Spine sorted:

Desailly

Mascherano

Fabregas

Aguero

[vivabobbygraham]

Note for the Jordmeister; can you please add philanthropist to the original draft list as they are not on it and caused me some confusion today, please? Many thanks

[Linudden]

My spine is:

Vidic van Dijk

Lampard

Tevez

Feels like a pretty good start to lean into.

[Betty Blue]

Max hits it out of the park with Jay Jay. Excellent pick in the context of the draft.

[Linudden]

It's an interesting strategy, but a risky one now that many of us are cleaning up the five top teams. Not sure what will be left at this rate.

Its the lower team picks that'll win this.

[Crosby Nick]

Tons of good players from ‘lesser’ sides.

[Lastrador]

The most underrated player from the premier league era by far, Gary McAllister. Sublime footballer, but hardly gets mentioned among the greatest midfielders from his time. Could have picked him for Coventry, where he was excellent, but I wanted to have him in his prime. So Leeds it is.

Saving your Coventry player for the more obvious pick?

Darren Huckerby, the midlands Jovanovic.

[Betty Blue]

About time Gary Mac was picked. Potentially controversial opinion.... better than Lampard. The latter just played in better teams.

It's brave. I passed. We'll see.

Yeah, looked at that. There's better. Was his prime at Leeds?

[Crosby Nick]

From a Premier League point of view his prime was probably Coventry. Which was a pretty made move all round. Leeds went a bit shit for a little while around the time he left and what player joins Coventry thinking it’s a step up?

Jesus, I remember watching that at the time.

One of the very few to score a Premier League hat trick at Anfield for the opposition.

He was part of a great team at Liverpool. Individually, Coventry was just about his level. It happens. Boss player for us.

Yeah was great for us obviously. I just meant he wasted a few years of his career when he was capable of playing for a better side. Still, some end to his career!

That's the dilemna of drafting. The fun of it, weighing it all up. You deliberate and make your decisions without giving a fuck who agrees with it 

[El Lobo]

The ultimate maverick

[Lastrador]

He was already 32 when he joined Coventry, and he made two PFA teams of the year while at Leeds, while also having better league finishes and individual stats. So I would definitely say he was playing at a higher level at Leeds.

[Drinks Sangria]

Picking now. I’ve had a disaster for this draft.
