Let's do a 1 or 2 hour deadline between picks 

Happy to bring in a deadline but will let this round play out first. Then we can do a deadline of sorts. Reckon 4 hours for next round then 2 afterwards.

[Samie]

We only do 4 hour draft picks for none footie drafts anyway. Football ones have always been an hour, 2 hours tops but rarely.

Okay fair enough. Happy to put an hour time limit in from next round if the majority want.

Back in the day, there used to be no pick deadlines. Imagine that!

[Samie]

Brutal days mate. The Wild West era call it.

I’d say if you sure the person can’t pick you player then you can go too, but you’d have to check all their categories which is a lot of work.

Yeah let's not encourage that. That is gonna cause a lot of chaos.

Yeah I did think that. Let’s not do that then.

Sorry guys. I was on travel today and have learnt that I would've to travel for major parts of the next two weeks. Would like it if someone else could take over my inspiration pick and build their team.

Somebody send BB a 'seductive love letter.' He's been lurking

[vivabobbygraham]

While we wait for that can we move on to Draex?

[Draex]

[vivabobbygraham]

[Samie]

What a piss take, I want you al to know that. 

[vivabobbygraham]

It's drafting etiquette, Samie - as you well know - so we'll have none of your feux outrage on here, please, young fellah, me lad.

[Samie]

Faux outrage is 50% of my Drafting etiquette though. 

[mikey_LFC]

Shall I go?

Yes go! We’ll try and find someone to cover PiM’s team, if not it’ll just drop us down to 12.

Sorry, was busy watching Bruce Springsteen last night and the signal was nonexistent.

Lucky you. Was the boss, boss?

[mikey_LFC]

Lucky you. Was the boss, boss?

He was indeed. Had the audience in the palm of his hand for three hours. The band is so tight.

[vivabobbygraham]

[Hazell]

[NICHOLLS]

[Draex]

Where samie at? Probably in the transfer thread all night!

Probably on the waltzers asking girls to scream if they wanna know transfers.

[Samie]

Wth a Michael Myers mask on to boot mate.

Wth a Michael Myers mask on to boot mate.

I think we might have the same draft ideas..

[vivabobbygraham]

I know my arl mucker Samie will appreciate my same birthday pick 

[Drinks Sangria]

Van Basten - perennially underrated. Technique unrivalled.

I have finally drafted Gabigol, mega.

[Crosby Nick]

How do you search the top 25 opponents thing?

[red1977]

Anyone thinking they can get solid picks throughout? some of the only good ones available to me i imagine will be picked off in the next few rounds and will be left with some serious dregs.

[Draex]

Go to your players transfer market page and click on career, then history, should see opponents and teammates.

I know for sure I can't, there's a few categories where I'm getting garbage no matter what happens.  At least I know those picks are safe, I guess.

No chance, some of the categories if my best pick is taken it’s a drastic drop lol.

Feel for you, mate. A poorer man might have ducked out of the draft already from your position. Loved your approach going leftfield with your first pick. In hindsight maybe everyone should have been gently warned to avoid smaller nationality players for the inspiration pick.

I think I got a little unlucky with the categories too, though.  Would've thought there'd be a decent chance Roy Keane would've played in Robbie's international debut, but nope.

Yeah, that is pretty surprising given Roy should have been a fixture in the side around that time.

Was it a friendly? I’m sure Ferguson would have had a word.

I had a long list of categories that included initials of the inspiration kick, so Robbie Keane would have been able to pick any RK, but I figured there was a lot of people where they might have been left with no options , which was lucky as I think we ended up with two that don’t have options with Zidane and Xabi.

[Hazell]

Why has tubby picked Walter Matthau?
