Given that pretty much all other decent top 6 wide players have gone, I'll join you on the Salah train.

You are just wasting you pick mate. I already sent mines in. You can pick someone like Ozil, Aguero, Foden, Origi, Lacazzette, Lallana or Iwobi. In Tier 2 there is nothing left.

Yeah, I'm planning on going down to tier 3. No way you or anyone else is getting Salah.

Fair enough. Its a valid strategy. Calling dibs on that newcastle lad they signed in January if he survives this round.

deFacto please, you bastards · « **Reply #404 on:** July 31, 2019, 10:15:29 pm »

Oi, don't pick any players from Soton if you're looking for your third cm/am.

I'm giving you lot a fair warning otherwise we're going down together in the Championship

Change of strategy, I'm going Aguero so that no one can have him as centre forward whilst I use my ringer..

Someone else can cock block you with Salah

2 ringer groups have been blocked - yes?

1 Trend/Chakan - Modric
1 Eel Lobo - Gerrard

4 left I believe.

Imagine being blocked on your ringer. Shame.

LovelyCushionedHeader · « **Reply #409 on:** July 31, 2019, 10:22:00 pm »

I also don't see how we're going to get a tier 2 RW through. I can only think of 3 decent choices and they'll all get picked more than once.

So glad I got Lucas Moura! Never thought I’d say that in a draft. Unless it was a champions league semi final draft.

Some really good options still left

The best being Salah obviously. But Alli, Mkhitaryan, Willian, Pedro, Mata, Rashford, Martial are all there. Plus people like Lacazette, Ozil and more from other positions still to go.

Think I’ll go for Willian this go. So if you could all let him slide that’d be great.

Or if not let me know to avoid any unwarranted blockages

Why on earth would anyone pick mata or Mkitaryan

Better than the tier below and Mkhitaryan actually was decent for Arsenal last year!

JK,

2. Cristiano Ronaldo (Adz & Vishwa) ========================> Nevermind!!!!! Ronaldo not ringer

3. Tierry Henry (Claus & Adz)

4 have been blocked (Claus, Vishwa, Max and Adz) - have to revisit Adz's pick?
2 have successful (FuckA, and T/Chak) - Gerrard/Modric

4 are left

*** not sure Vishwa can make an eligible play for Ronaldo after losing his pick after Vieira.

3 have been blocked (Vishwa, Max and Adz) - have to revisit Adz's pick?
3 have successful (FuckA, Claus and T/Chak) - Gerrard/Keane/Modric

No, I was not mad with suspicion.

I was just going back trying to figure out who had Ringers left and who did not.

And then I got confused. So many cock blocks, has caused me some dicmentia.

Max_powers · « **Reply #427 on:** July 31, 2019, 11:27:07 pm »

Yeah Suarez is sure to be picked. Although given how likely he is to be picked, might spook people out. Can play as both LW or striker. Torres is another likely candidate or Fowler.

to be honest there are lot of good players available and if everyone is smart about it, they should all be able to get one. Shearer, Bergkamp, Overmars, Drogba, Rooney, Robben, Van Persie; there are lots of great attackers still available.

Its just mines and Vishwa's rotten luck that we both went for Veira on the same turn.

Cowards! all of you for not going for Salah.

I will not let Mo feel unwanted. Just announcing it now. I am picking him this round. Repeat I am picking Mo Salah. Unless anyone wants to go to Tier 2 and select Andy Carroll or Jordan Ibe. I suggest you stay away.

mikey_LFC · « **Reply #436 on:** August 1, 2019, 07:53:04 am »

I’m holding off on my ringer until next go as there are very few top left wingers in premier league history and loads of strikers, with most being still available.

With LCH and Defacto both declaring their intention to do the same, looks like Viva has a clear run at the a ringer for this position if he wants.

I’d considered Robert Pires for ages and taking the ringer now, but given the lack of striking options for next round for non-ringers, i’d rather nab Willian and go for Luis Suarez next round.

Given Salah and Aguero are going this round, either into the invalid picks or into teams, I think it is only really Kane, Lacazette, Rashford, Lukaku, Higuain and Giroud left as strikers for next round, none of who appeal to me that much compared to the greats you can get with a ringer.

So Willian and then Luis Suarez for me. Then I’ll have to see where we go for super sub.

Thoughts:

No one picked Mo Salah

Quote from: JerseyKloppite on July 31, 2019, 09:50:57 pm

And two great picks from 08/09 CMs, with Lassana Diarra arguably the pick of the round given that the following season he was signed by Real Madrid and became the lynchpin of their team.
