If a team that haves Minamino playing as a number 10 wins a draft, we should wrap up drafting all together.

The second and fourth best teams in the final.

Surprised it’s a head to head though and Linudden didn’t Chuck another threesome in the mix.

Best of luck to you both. :D

To be fair to Minamino he's up against a team with Kelleher in goal  ;D

We'll see how it goes but at least it's close so far. I reckon most teams in this draft are rather evenly matched at the end of the day.

Salah up against Moreno and Sakho, Cisse on the right wing and a kid with barely any games in goal.

Cisse was so good on the right wing, that the only way of stopping him was breaking his legs.

Tubby for me. His attack is more balanced. Midfield of Lucas and Thiago is really good. Minamino and Heggem are the only two weak links.

Xabi's team just has more weak links.  Even though he also has some matchwinners.

I hated voting for a team with Cisse on the wing but ultimately, I had to go with Xabi. His front four is better, his back five is better and there's no real link between Tubby's midfield two and his forwards. Minamino ain't it.

I only picked Kelleher because I was being very lazy at the end tbf. It was between him and Adrian but I've not seen anything from the kid to suggest hes worse than Adrian. Even at peak.

Cissé would've been a very good right winger if he'd been willing to play there. I think he did a really nice job in the very defensive 05-06 brick wall Momo man mountain team. Gerrard played a lot out there too but always wandered inward as would've been expected. As it was, he wanted out after Rafa played him there and then broke his leg a second time after the season ended. Double whammy.

Think this is just about right. Looking at the order of the picks I'm not sure Xabi could have done any better with that formation in mind...but maybe could have risked getting a better goalie earlier and I'm not sure anyone would have taken Cisse or Moreno after.
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.

My team ended up giving you the best game as well, considering our opening clash!

Ah shit. I didn’t know it at the time but Tubby cried it in so I felt sorry for him and I think that levelled it up and weirdly you both went through.

It was all my fault!

Well done Tubby :champ

Also thank you very much to all participants for making good work out of a limited pool of players and still putting out quite decent teams overall!
