SO...
We'll start with goalkeepers. I've been put in a prickly position, because Jack Butland is technically in the bottom half of the Championship and so is not actually a Tier 4 pick. In fact he is a Tier 5 pick. HOWEVER, I shouldn't have actually asked Viva to pick his keeper this time round. As Hennessy counted as "no pick" (being a Tier 2 choice in a Tier 3 round), Viva should actually have skipped Tier 4 and moved straight to Tier 5 anyway. Where he could have picked Butland.
So I'm going to let him keep Butland, as there are no competing pickers and he could have had him anyway had I applied the rules correctly. But beware in the future of the Tier system! Note that normally you can't swoop down as far as you like to pick a player if no one else is picking
Soares and Montoya are valid picks and will be added to the drafters’ teams. There are no invalid RB picks.
van Aanholt, Digne, Creswell, Chilwell and Otto are all valid LB picks. Fair play, you all dodged each other neatly. There are no invalid LB picks.
Ah, the centre backs. Joe Gomez's named kept staring up at me
Sanchez and Rudiger are the only valid picks. Gomez and Kompany are invalid picks. Fucking appalled, Viva, Claus, deFacto, Max, Trend and Adz, you need to pick CBs from tier 2 from the 18/19 season.
Vishwa despite a lengthy extension didn't furnish me with a pick, so no CB for him. As he missed his pick, he has to drop two tiers and will pick his CB from tier 3 in
Round 6.
