If that surprises you, there's going to be more such picks from me

It must the earliest in a draft that a player of Ruddocks calibre has been picked.

This reverse snake structure is really confusing me, thought it wasn't coming back until the next round.

Just for rounds 2-3 otherwise it's the usual snake my bad if I wasn't clear enough

Xabi....Robbo....Grobs....Hamann.....Keane.....Ruddock

I fear there may be 11 of these

That picture!!!

Wondered when Sahin would go. Might have known which prick would pick him.

Linudden · « **Reply #203 on:** October 1, 2021, 04:41:52 pm »

Şahin is one of the hardest players to judge exactly how good he was out of all 29 years' worth of players. Basically since being Bundesliga Player of the Season already as somewhat of a one-season wonder he did fuck all for ten years to the point where I had to look up where he plays now (Antalyaspor)

Either way, centre back desperation time is underway

The bad news for everyone is that Mikel San José never played in the Prem or else he'd been a pro-tip choice.

Technically, I'd be open to allow matchday inclusions though and he actually sat on the bench once... what do you think folks? I guess we need a consensus on that one given neither he nor Gulácsi ever played. I lean against but desperation is the mother of invention.

Unless there's a universal yes I doubt it will happen!

Nah surely they need to have actually played for us in the PL.

Linudden · « **Reply #205 on:** October 1, 2021, 04:57:15 pm »

Yeah think so too. I guess some drafters in late rounds will be pissed at Rafa for not allowing a 90 + 3 cameo to seal the 0-0

15 centre backs drafted so there needs to be seven more shoehorned in there.

Is that including Babbel and/or Staunton?

I have another 12 that could play in my system so definitely going to look to strengthen attack next.

Babbel, I do consider Staunton a full back myself but I only really saw him a couple times in his twilight playing for Villa so what do I know?

Yeah he was better for us in his first stint and as a left back, but had a good career at Villa where he played in a back three.

Fowler’s looking forward to coming up against him anyway.

Will never get tired of seeing that goal.

I'm way too young to remember that and no pay TV in my parents' home at the time anyway but wasn't that game ending 5-0 with Fowler scoring a hat trick or even four?

XabiArt · « **Reply #212 on:** October 1, 2021, 05:21:39 pm »

Looking through the squads it feels like nearly everyone has different needs so the final squads might be well balanced.

Hey! It's not my fault Rodgers didn't know how to use him. Plus Klopp rates him and he knows something about football.

I was going to pick San Jose but much to my chagrin, when I checked, he hadn't played a game, I really thought he did for some reason.

I'm going to defend my pick Klavan somewhat - he's obviously not a on the level of Matip or Van Dijk but him and Kyrigakos were bought in different circumstances in and met, nay exceeded expectations so for that reason I think they're ok picks. I can think of a number of other centrebacks who I would pick way below them, particularly from the 90's.

Sahin, honestly I can see your point but I think he's the best midfielder remaining. I probably would have picked Momo or Lucas ahead of him but it wasn't to be. Plus Klopp rates him and he knows something about football

That was Spring 96 when we were on a good run. Villa were a decent side but we went 3 up in the first ten minutes and then the game stayed that way.

He always seemed to score against Villa. He did get a hat trick away to them once as well.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #215 on:** October 1, 2021, 05:31:07 pm »

I contemplated picking him and might have done had it come back to me although when you’re bang in the middle it’s so hard to know what position to go next. You did well going at the end but always picking two together.

Klavan is a perfectly valid pick at this stage too.

Where are we at ? Who is up?

PoetryInMotion · « **Reply #217 on:** October 1, 2021, 05:42:22 pm »

Max hasn't picked and it's been an hour. Shall I pick now?

tubby · « **Reply #218 on:** October 1, 2021, 05:44:23 pm »

Coady is a really smart pick, completely blanked on him.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #219 on:** October 1, 2021, 05:55:15 pm »

All the way from Vladimir Smicer!

Was going to get another striker but went for Vladi instead to keep my options open. Can still go 442 or 4231 from here.

Always felt he was under rated, flattered to deceive slightly but obviously had some huge moments for us and always used to link up well with Fowler.

Yeah, I wanted him as well.

Ah bastard. Thought I might be able to sneak Coady next.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #222 on:** October 1, 2021, 06:06:23 pm »

Bonus points to Adz for the Morientes photo! Good pick as well.

Betty Blue · « **Reply #226 on:** October 1, 2021, 06:12:20 pm »

Another fine pick by the new guy. Real version Morientes and Rush would make an excellent partnership too.

Linudden · « **Reply #227 on:** October 1, 2021, 06:15:52 pm »

I'm very happy to be able to snap up Reina in the 7th round, originally I'd been prepared to wait until late to snap up someone but when that opportunity came around it was just too good to be missed

Reina

xx Skrtel van Dijk xx

Sterling Ince Redknapp Coutinho

xx xx

Formation pending even to this moment!
