Bloody hell, don't tell me Card Cheat is sleeping again? The sleeping Giants Card Cheat draft

[Klippity Klopp]

Did someone say you can only sign three players from the same club?  Or did I make that up?

Yes, three players per season

[kesey]

Okay, we're getting there, one more pick....

I've done me three.

Florenzi
Rodriguez ( DM/ L )
Thiago ( the Bayern one )

And you're due another one in the time it's taken you to pick those 3!!!! possibly even another one!!

[kesey]

So I get another go ?

[Lawnmowerman]

So I get another go ?

You have two people now to pick

[Lawnmowerman]

4 picks in a day. Lovely stuff. Can now enjoy me pitch and putt in the morning

[Zend...en the clowns]

Sweating over me next pick.

[RK7]

Sweating over me next pick.

I'm picking now so you'll be next.

[Midget]

What time do we stop today?

[kesey]

Isco
Aurier

[Zend...en the clowns]

I'm picking now so you'll be next.

Happy days. Delighted with that spine.

[Midget]

Nice pick Zend. I was considering De Gea with my 2nd and 3rd pick, but didn't make sense to splash on him after that point anymore. Amazed he was there so long.

Strong so far. There are some really good squads coming together.

[RK7]

Thanks for that Klippity.

Mine is wrong though, Cancelo is 6m not 8m.

Mulled over him for a while but high rated keepers are a rarity beyond the usuals so he got the vote over lloris in terms of age and rating although he's double the price.

Great tracker that KK, puts the story so far into perspective!

[Klippity Klopp]

Mine is wrong though, Cancelo is 6m not 8m.

Ah free agent.  I thought I did most of the reductions for that.  Must have missed him.

Woaaah, cheers mate that's number porn par excellence!

[LiamG]

my turn?

[KingLuis10]

my turn?

Yep!

[LiamG]

you'll have to let me know if i pick a player someone has already chosen haha

plus, i'm going to be in bed all day today so will miss a few picks!

[LiamG]

annoys me that i missed out on a few i wanted because i was too rough from NYE haha

[Lawnmowerman]

Having spent 156 only so far is right up my street. Midget 234 spent bargain basement for you from here on in for a few others aswell

[LiamG]

i just hope i can land henderson before any potential rise

[Lawnmowerman]

Plenty of time. Theyr'e going slow. Woulda snapped up Eriksen if i felt they'd rise him. Thought Dele Alli be plus 2. Not all bad

Where is Kane and Walker's rise?

If you're worried you're going to miss a turn, you can PM your picks to someone who's not picking until after you. Lawnmo & Card Cheat are usually around at one end of the selection order, or me at the other.

Can't believe you've got all those players for just 156!! Well played. Recovered fairly well from the Messi splurge myself, Van Dijk for 14m  Card Cheat is never going to give him to me in the other world so thought I'd pick him here! Should have enough in the bank for another big signing or two now.

[Lawnmowerman]

Where is Kane and Walker's rise? 

Kanes rise has been astronomical. They had to curtail that

[KingLuis10]

i just hope i can land henderson before any potential rise

Didn't have the balls to pick Matip for this reason. Absolute bargain at 10m, but could get a +1 (maybe even +2) at any moment.

[LiamG]

i just hope it comes back to me before i go to bed

[Lawnmowerman]

i just hope it comes back to me before i go to bed

Leave your choices with KingLuis if you wont be around. I'll take them but i'll be out this morning

Was always the plan to buy one 'marquee' and build around him. I wouldn't have had the balls for Messi! Think from here on in it'll be mid 20s yr olds in the 10-16m price range. Would get another 10 to 15 players at that price range with what i have left. I'll be fairly comfortable. May splurge on one other big signing. Others are in squeeky bum mode.

[LiamG]

i'm gonna run out of money i think, the missing turns forced me into panic and my strategy went well out the window

My plan is pretty much the opposite I think. Struggling a bit with the marquee pick though.

Might just split the cash and go for two solid higher rated players.

[LiamG]

How many picks ya reckon will be made from now till i wake up about 5pm?

There's plenty of 40milish quality left. You shouldn't have a problem
