PM'd Flash, will give it an hour or so and pick if he doesn't turn up.

I'd just go. He said to unless he is around and he isn't online.

Your team is good enough already. There is also an excellent player still hanging about who isn't that far off.

You’ll have to choose a non Atletico player as you don’t need to choose one, or do you mean for filling categories?

Ayala is a great pick.

A great pick indeed at this time of the draft. It was Lucio or Ayala for me, and the best/worst thing about this draft is that you got lesser choices as you go on, and yet you have to make tough decisions out there.

No, I have been in seclusion trying to figure out a local pick that actually resides in the exact city.

Each time I find someone I think is a fit, they live in the suburb right outside the city.  Anyone want to help me from self damage while I put my child to a nap --- late on arrival.

Viva and then Defacto.

At this stage it's good  ;D although there is still a world class  CB who no one has picked yet surprisingly

If we're  thinking of the same guy, maybe his international record works against him compared to his compatriots.

I think PIM has to make another pick, Flamengo was already closed when I checked during my last pick and had to go for Reuter.

Also will wait an hour to see if Betty is avaiable to make his pick.

blue Betty covered off both criteria with the one pick their with Gerson.

Only person left for a Birth Place is Trend.

All other criteria is covered off.

Mikey,

You've updated Ocwirk, but you've missed JL Andrade in my team in the OP of the selections thread.

Got it now.

Haha in the excitement of finally finding evidence of a game Gerson had played for Flumi I completely overlooked where he was born! Nice. Makes my search for a keeper infinitely easier.

In an ideal world I'd swap Dunga out as he was a bit of panic pick and I originally mistakenly believed he was born locally. Maybe at the end of the draft a switch can be considered by benevolent grandmaster Mikey.

Look like its been an hour, I check to see if VBG is on.  If not, I'll go ahead a pick.

Agree with Betty here, maybe a post-draft 2-3 hour period where we try to sort out panic picks or a few reaches.

Happy to do that if people agree. Only issue comes when people say they would have picked someone but for them being held on another side. But I guess they're up for grabs then anyway.

The alternative solution to this would be to give each team a 12th or even a 13th pick with an extra round or two at the end. This would allow people to change tactics between games if they wanted to as well, which could be interesting. I've seen it done on other draft forums.

How about adding a new derby for that last round of ''replacement'' picks ?
