Ah Betty you bastid. Knew you were gonna do that. I thought if there's one person out there who isn't a mental midget and hasn't fallen for KL's guff, it would be you. Just knew you'd pick him, especially being French an all

I don't care if I have no money left. You can never regret picking Salah.

As an aside, I'll be more open to trading him in SG now too....

Pavard, Zinchenko and Cavani??

Kai would have been my sensible pick. But Salah is Salah.

I swear Pavard must've nicked your missus. In any case, cha-ching!

The best Left back, the best utility defender and the soon to best free agent who'll have all the worlds top clubs after him. I'll throw a chunk of cheddar on top aswell

Amazed by the lack of real quality in Argentina at the moment.

Breaking News: After repeated attempts on my part, RK7/Jon will now be joining us in the new GW and draft. He will take Klipp's place in the order, but has decided he doesn't want Sterling - so he remains undraftable. Jon is now owed 3 picks. Can't imagine anyone has any problems with him joining us, but just want to check with you guys first

LiverpoolForever · « **Reply #134 on:** November 8, 2019, 02:10:08 pm »

Good stuff!

As a long-term manager I reckon RK7 should be eligible for a loyalty discount. £80 buy-in instead of £100

There's also a 50% discount if he brings a mate along.

Ah, just noticed the double pick was RK7.

mikey_LFC · « **Reply #141 on:** November 8, 2019, 03:07:12 pm »

The potential of my first four is fantastic. Will just take time but only 30.6m spent so far. 190m in the bank with 14 players left.

GK
RB
LB
CB
CB
Matteo Guendouzi
CM

Vinícius Júnior
Ansu Fati

Hooley Dooley.

Time to cut back.

So far got my keeper and two lads that play defence and midfield.

Just had a rare thought.. Players out on Loan won't be available until the next season, one of my picks is out on loan.

Does it really work like that!? Thought as it's a custom GW it would all be open.

I don't remember this coming up in the last draft. Maybe we just got lucky!

RK7 hour up, picked and pm'd Kesey

Lawnmowerman · « **Reply #151 on:** November 8, 2019, 05:31:20 pm »

It's possibly that's how it works in a world where teams are the actual teams and filled. These are empty slots

Chrismonster · « **Reply #152 on:** November 8, 2019, 05:31:40 pm »

I'm pretty sure, yeah.. Will all the external club players be wiped out, or is it just our league?

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #153 on:** November 8, 2019, 05:32:35 pm »

I just recently started a league, and Dortmund's Hakimi was already in the side [even though he's on loan from PSV]

Well then it's true. If you pick Hakimi for example, you cant buy him from Madrid for a season then

Forgot about Zaniolo, nice buy!

Is it maybe an option when you're setting up the GW? You didn't get to choose the settings did you DeFacto? At Leverkusen I've got Jedvaj out on loan and I can't recall him until the end of the season, but I don't remember this happening in Sleeping Giants.

Aaaaand there goes my pick!
