Topic: Sly Sports Premier League draft - Quarter Finals

[Betty Blue]

Welcome to the world of Sly Sports where all football before 1992 does not exist.

This is a Premier League era draft, so please only judge players on their appearances in the Premier League from 1992 to present day. Any form outside of the league or in any other eras is not relevant. Subs were just for fun and not to be seriously counted in the vote -

[Chakan]

Quarter finals wooo, further than I thought I’d get.

[Betty Blue]

Bump

[Samie]

Oi, trying to steal my job?

[Lone Star Red]

[Crosby Nick]

Time for me to speak to my mentor Trend, see if I can turn this around by fair means.

[Chakan]

Getting hammered. Ah well.

Getting hammered. Ah well.

Bobby looks like the favourite to win the whole draft. Thought he drafted excellently.

[Hazell]

Yeah think bobby has the best team. Strong all over the pitch.

[tubby]

Like Bobby's team but wonder if folks are voting based on peak Robben and Modric, not the PL versions.  They were good, but not at the level they reached elsewhere.

That's fair. Robben was quite injury plagued in the time he was in the Premier League too. It's why I swerved him. Modric wasn't at his peak, but he was still very very good and his form is why Madrid signed him.

Duff > Robben at Chelsea.

Modric made an immediate impact at Spurs. He was obviously never going to win the stuff he won at Real with them!

Say's the guy with Diogo Costa and Markus Babbel in their team. I think your suggestion that 'folks' aren't quite sure what they are voting for is very condescending tubby - so unlike you -  and requires an apology to the 'folks' you accuse. It's very clear in the rules BB put out there that it was their PL form. I think our little draft family are eminently capable of differentiating, don't you?

Nice try with the, 'like Bobby's team but...' Sow a few seeds of doubt, particularly when trying to win with a midfield that has Tim Cahill in it. Knock out...

It's why I've got Sane on the bench, BB   

Also, Ledly King, Mousa Dembele, Diogo Costa and Markus Babbel say hi 

[vivabobbygraham]

Thank you, Hazell. Then could you please ask your many wives to vote along with you my friend. It's a tough crowd 

[vivabobbygraham]

Thank you, BB. Long way to go and although I have had many disappointments, this is my favourite draft so far and I couldn't give a flying fuck whether I win or not

Precisely Nick. I'd put him just ahead of Tim Cahill in that period
