Do you really want me to reveal to everybody that I prevented you from yourself again and suggested Pedro?

Maybe the group, led by your leadership, will see these drafts as PR functions and brilliant use of humor

All this new rule has done is give a massive advantage to the drafters at the bottom now.  What about us middle folk?

Didn’t really have time to research this surprise round, and didn’t want to hold up the round as not sure what time i’ll get on tomorrow. Got myself a goalscorer though.
We already have shit in the country, and the game of Liverpool fills life with joy. Thanks

The "deadline" is 9pm UK time so you have time if you want to keep digging around?

I think after this round, and the next round, maybe a league winner from another league?
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

I think an 11 from 11 European League Winners draft could be a fun sequel.

Only if I go first

I think an 11 from 11 European League Winners draft could be a fun sequel.

Genuinely think the next draft needs to be LoN style - all teams submitted up at once instead of a normal draft. This is glacial

Wait, so which pick is this runner up player from? Is it just every drafter's next pick? Do the same rules apply re max two players from one club?

Next pick or you can forego it I guess, seems like a bad idea though.

And no this can be your third player.

I have figured out one round of fuckery for after the draft, trying to think of one, maybe two more (quick ones not more fucking drafting).

PM me suggestions. I won't tell you if I like your idea until it's time to use it!

I was thinking 1! That way you end up having to search for league winners from leagues outside the big 5/6.

He left midseason, so he played 10 games in the first half of 01/02. So I guess that make him eligible?

I think that's fine, I checked wiki and it only had Anelka at 9 so I assumed Fowler left before the season. My bad

In fairness there weren’t many seasons Liverpool didn’t win the league before 1992, and I think most have used up those two picks already
