Done. Sorry for the delay, I wasn't too prepared for my picks. Didn't think it would move fast enough to get back to me once this evening, let alone twice!

Well, you did take Maddison from me! Excellent pick also. Both should get good rises in the winter reviews.

Made up getting Lundstram. The scouse Kante. Exactly the type of player I was after for this draft.

Oh jaysus. The draft could end now and i'd be more than satisfied. Quaking getting so close to picking him. His value is sweet sweet honey, especially when compared to his teammate

Boom.

Ok. It's let this. I don't have a PC or Laptop or labtop still can't figure out how to say.

I have one phone which I need to be online for me job so.... it gets confusing.

Example.

I go on the SM thing to see who I want then... I gets a job. Do me job then more or less forgotten what player I had in mind. I thinks I remember him then tries to find the table on here to see who has who. Gets.... another another job. Forgets.

Can youse try to keep the who has who table on the last page of this thread as it burns me head out trying to find it.

Not gonna lie that's a great haul. Why've you picked a generic PES player though?

Frenkie & Tonali might just be the schmexiest CM pairing in the history of football. Probably end up with Dean Windass up front at this rate but we'll worry about that later  :D

Probably because it wasn't his pick! We were in the draft closed hours when G's pick was due and for some reason he sent it to me (while I was asleep) rather than posting himself.

Edit: Just realised Kesey picked at around 9pm. I'm guessing the fact his posts were all over the shop confused Alex enough to not know G's time had elapsed and it was his pick.

Sorry if I delayed things last night. Waited until 3 A.M. India time for my turn, but at that point just had to go to sleep.

Kind of felt cornered into that ter Stegen pick. Hate making a huge splurge on a keeper, but the way I'm justifying it to myself is now I don't have to worry about that position ever again in this GW. Sometimes it can become a pain in the arse. I remember ignoring it in the SG draft and it being an issue later on until I got Oblak in that Neymar trade. Don't particularly like any of the young keepers left, so decided to go for the sure thing in ter Stegen. He's the cheapest one in the group (ter Stegen, Alisson, Oblak) that is cut above the rest at the moment, and should maintain his value at least.
