Is it one player per nation and one player per club? Or is the latter unlimited?

Going to stick to principles and keep this a United free zone. I trust I can rely on the rest of you to keep it that way.

It could easily turn into a Manc fest given they dominated for so long in the prem era, but they have had some top players. Are we committing to staying away from red Mancs?.

No but feel dirty when you pick one.

Looks like Andy is off at the match now, so don't expect any action until this evening. We'll start doing 2 hour deadlines from Monday morning or else things could drag a bit too much.

Samie · « **Reply #83 on:** November 12, 2023, 02:49:09 pm »

Still think Fatso should've picked Mido.

Andy has told me who he wants, he’s gone for Paul Tierney as his first pick

Samie · « **Reply #85 on:** November 12, 2023, 05:38:47 pm »

Andy's more of a Howard Webb man though.

Mike Riley, hold my beer.

Andy, you're killing us draft addicts here.

2 hour deadlines officially start from 9am tomorrow. So if Andy is still a no show then Bobby can pick at 11am.

Samie · « **Reply #88 on:** November 13, 2023, 01:47:12 am »

I PM'd Andy again as a reminder. Hopefully the dickhead posts his first pick.

We Al know it’s going to be Ryan Giggs. Pick it for him and move on.

Ok I'll bow out.

You do realise that I actually go to the matches and that I was out all last night... er... at the match

Anyway good luck everyone

If you want to play you're more than welcome to, mate. We always have a rule that draft hours are paused during a match. But when people are mssing almost 24 hours it can really slow things up for everyone. In future rounds you can always leave your pick with other people before a match if you know you'll be gone awhile.

Whatever you prefer. If you change your mind you can slot in lower down the draft order too.

If Andy's out, I can follow suit to make it an even 16 - my head isn't really in this one anyway.

Okay, mate. No worries. 16 is definitely the magic number in these. Premier League drafts are very popular though and we hadn't done one in awhile, so I don't mind going over. Whatever you decide.

Anyway, over to Bobby now. I'll PM him.

Betty Blue · « **Reply #94 on:** November 13, 2023, 01:26:32 pm »

No signs of Bobby either. I wonder if this is an issue with the email notifications, because I told Bobby last night his turn would be coming up this morning.

Mate, you were online last evening and at night it's why I PM'd you again. You could've easily posted a name then. Heck even today you've posted on RAWK in numerous threads instead of the one you actually meant to post in.

Nick is on the clock by the way an has until 3.30pm before Red1977 is allowed to pick.

Sorry, saw your PM but I thought I’d give whoever was before me a bit longer. Will pick now.

No worries, mate. I was hoping Bobby would get online too as we exchanged PMs last night about his pick coming this morning.

Crosby Nick · « **Reply #99 on:** November 13, 2023, 03:08:10 pm »

Alan Shearer at Blackburn was incredible. Fast, strong, smashed every finish into the corners with unerring accuracy.

Samie · « **Reply #100 on:** November 13, 2023, 03:14:08 pm »

It's a Monday I believe VBG on Mondays is a bit engaged elsewhere.

Good to see this moving again. Onwards and upwards, fellow drafters.

vivabobbygraham · « **Reply #102 on:** November 13, 2023, 03:45:10 pm »

Sorry guys, bad day for me. I’ve just posted Sir Harry

tubby · « **Reply #103 on:** November 13, 2023, 03:47:05 pm »

I'm surprised at so many England players going early. Would've thought more obscure nations would be picked off first as there have been so many English PL players over the years.

So many nationalities, not really going to overthink this one. Was a toss up between Shesrer and Vieira though! And he went next.

Smack dab in the middle of the drafting order. Shite!

Betty Blue · « **Reply #106 on:** November 13, 2023, 05:15:31 pm »

Sorry, got held up with some work then spent too much time deliberating over picking players I detest and then looking at pictures of them and deciding I couldn't.

Someone had to take him. On any other forum he'd probably be a top 3 pick. I just couldn't bear to do it.

Always good to pick a fellow red!

Plus look at how well he controls van Nistelrooy, haha.

Hazell having a nightmare trying to decide who to pick it seems. First pick is always the hardest, I feel. He has until just before 10pm and then I'll PM Elzar, who isn't online right now anyway so that might be it for this evening.

He’s trying to find someone with hair that most resembles Redondo’s. My money’s on later era Jeff Hendrick.
