Round 4 has begin, and will finish at 9pm tomorrow night if not before.

18/19 CBs.

So turns out we are both stubborn bastards when it comes to Ricardo Pereira!

I’ve got two right backs I want in the next band. I’m sure they’re the same two you want so it’s a 50/50 shot. I will be picking the one with the top level trophies to his name. If you want him then I guess I’ll see you in the Championship!

As for left backs, there are enough good ones for everyone at this second tier. All of them are a similar level, no need for anyone to do anything stupid (this is definitely a Mexican standoff situation!). Everybody just Chil and this should all go Well. Get it!

I can't think of any right back in that band with trophies so I think you're safe.

How we getting on with this round?

My prediction is someone uses a ringer and only a couple of people get caught out as there is a wider range of people to pick from who are genuine centre backs.

[deFacto please, you bastards]

Saving the ringer for the strikers

[JerseyKloppite]

One more to go....

[LovelyCushionedHeader]

One more to go....

Who?!

[JerseyKloppite]

Vishwa ;d

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Vishwa ;d

What's the schedule?  He has 2 1/2 hours until deadline? 

Btw, Vishwa nice picks at Rb and Lb mate!

[Trendisnotdestiny]

One more to go....

Any non-descript comments or comical comments from the picks to tide us over as we wait?

[mikey_LFC]

When you’ve got multiple picks each round is so daunting. I could be back on track with a tier 1 cb, tier 2 lb and tier 3 rb or I could drop a tier in each!

[JerseyKloppite]

Yep. Deadline is 9pm.

Maybe you should Chill your Tip with the Right Targett?

[JerseyKloppite]

If you miss the deadline you drop two tiers, whatever the reason. It seems v harsh but there has to be an imperative to pick. One, because clashing picks makes the game interesting and without it it becomes stale, and two to stop people trying to game the system to pick up a Player from  a lower tier.

If you really want a lower tier player, go for the best possible top tier player. If you get them, great, if not you might just block someone else.

[Trendisnotdestiny]

Yep. Deadline is 9pm.

 Nobody Blocks Britches!!!!

[PoetryInMotion]

You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is “Never get involved in a land war in Asia,” but only slightly less well known is this: “Never give encouragement to Trend to post more gifs!".

 

He doesn't need any encouragement though, if you whinge about his gifs, he'll threaten you with more 

[El Lobo]

Let’s just thank fuck it’s not Andy and his dreadful giffage

[Trendisnotdestiny]

And the gifs stopped; time to put them down now.

Your rules, but I’d suggest that if somebody misses a deadline for a round then they should be frozen out of picking that position until everybody else has picked a player. Say Vishwa doesn’t pick this round, he’ll get the chance to pick the best CB from tier 3, while some of us may miss out on tier 1 & 2 picks and then go to pick from tier 3 and the best CB has gone cos he had a free run at it... Unless I’m mistaken in what you’re saying?

Hopefully it doesn’t come to that anyway!

Ha, he is exceptionally bad at that.

If you miss your pick, you don’t get a tier one OR tier two player. You come in with people at tier 3, you don’t get a free run at anything.

Ahhh ok, didn’t know how you were implementing it!

[JerseyKloppite]

I might give him another few hours. He’s in India though according to his profile so he’s probably not going to be awake for a while if he isn’t already

He knew the rules.

I cancelled my holiday to India for this.

Mate, he's had 24 hours. I could get to India and back in that time.

[JerseyKloppite]

He knew the rules.

I cancelled my holiday to India for this.

I’m going to give him til midnight UK time. And I will offer similar extensions to other drafters. It’s more fun to get 10 picks after all.

After midnight I’ll post the picks, and the next round will start at 9am tomorrow.

So I've got to wait 3 more hours to find out if I was the only one to pick Messi as a centre back?

Ok, mate, it's your show but if he picks Phil Jones I will go apeshit

[JerseyKloppite]

I’ll see you all at 12

[deFacto please, you bastards]

You sounded all strict earlier and look at you now backtracking tskkk....
