Yes, two picks.

XabiArt · « **Reply #43 on:** April 15, 2017, 05:48:26 pm »

Donnarumma and Sterling. Happy with my start.

Can we make sure we pm the next person please. Only by chance I saw it was my go, no wonder the draft is moving so slowly.

KingLuis10 · « **Reply #44 on:** April 15, 2017, 05:59:41 pm »

Love Gigio. Normally I'd advise against picking a keeper so early but for him I'll make an exception! Bernardo Silva is a great pick as well

He's brilliant, Mbappe has been getting all the attention and rightly so but Monaco's best player is Sliva for me.

My thinking is there are plenty of good young players to pick. Maybe 5 keepers I'd want.

I was hoping Silva would last back round to me to be, happy with Weigl though

Sorry lad's my grandad's ill again so I won't be available for a few days. Just skip me and pick sheep for me at the end of the draft.

Willing to take over for you if you want?

fine by me mate.

Is it alright to make the picks now?

Go for it

Hope your grandads alright Samie.

Greatness · « **Reply #54 on:** April 15, 2017, 07:37:15 pm »

Carrasco's a great pick

Sir Psycho Sexy · « **Reply #55 on:** April 15, 2017, 08:02:53 pm »

you lot are going to be fucked by round 5

Betty Blue · « **Reply #56 on:** April 15, 2017, 09:16:42 pm »

Sorry for the delay, literally just got in the door to find it was my pick and I had to cross a zillion players off my shortlist. I was trying to avoid going full Monaco, but (after Keita) Bakayoko is my favourite young midfield enforcer.

Sorry to hear that mate

There's a couple that have been around for so long that I forgot to even put them on my shortlist. Carrasco, Milik and Draxler all passed me by

Melbred · « **Reply #60 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:18:42 pm »

Is it Lobo's turn?

Just PMed him. Apparently Mondzz didn't PM him in the first place $:-\$ Really got to remember to send those PMs guys. Not everyone checks in here, especially on a match day.

El Lobo · « **Reply #62 on:** April 16, 2017, 04:43:21 pm »

Yeah sorry chaps, guy didn't PM me

Lawnmowerman · « **Reply #63 on:** April 16, 2017, 06:11:15 pm »

Thought Betty woulda gone for the Monaco holy trinity there. Great oppprtunity

Picked Henrichs just to peeve KL off too

Tempting, but it just seemed a bit dull really. Part of the fun in drafts is creating new combinations we'll probably never see.

Knew you'd pick Heinrichs

Was gonna plump for the other part of the trinity meself but Henrichs was just so tempting. There's a whole wealth of talent up front really for a good few rounds yet. The back of the field could be scarce pickings quick

I feel quite the opposite actually

In any case, I'm not playing tactically whatsoever. Just going to draft players I like and I have watched.

Don't start this shite

Just how much football can we all watch?? We're all chasing hype jobs from on the vine

Tielemens, not surprised at that pick from the biggest hype whore on the planet!

Nah, I wasn't trying to call anyone out with that comment. Just saying I'm not going to pick players I don't know much about. What others do I couldn't care less.

Yeah, he was on my radar too, but I thought he was mostly anonymous against United in the week and that put me off him a bit. Fickle, I know

Lawnmowerman · « **Reply #70 on:** April 16, 2017, 06:43:00 pm »

1st proper game i've watched him (i mean who watches Belgium football??) and yeah, lived up to exactly what i thought a hype job from Belgium would live up too. Harsh? you betcha!

Interesting to know what round he went in in the last u25 draft. Peak of his young hype powers then, and here we are, two and a half years later....

Should've tickled me for Youri instead of taking Renato & Baka

You can have Henrichs for the pair of them though.

oh my god he's amazing. Shoulda offered me Heinrchs instead of him

Never been blown away by Baka to be honest. Good pick by Betty in the context of this draft, definitely the best available in his mould. But it's the guy who just got picked that keeps Monaco ticking over in midfield, great pick Fabinho

4 · « **Reply #76 on:** April 16, 2017, 07:39:35 pm »

I was surprised Fabinho hadn't been picked to be honest, always been one of the consistent stand outs for me whenever I've watched Monaco play

And there's goes the other one! Lemar is a bit of a steal for Greatness. Great trio of picks there.
