Sure.

9am GMT is 3am where I am at.... and I am 4th in the upcoming segment of the draft. Probably will not be up until 6am at the earliest or Noon RAWK time. FYI.

Would send a list of my next four picks, but I fear BB is Sepp Blattering his way to victory after the last organizer (who will remain a foregone conclusion) put the fix in

Will try to avoid making people wait here.

Foolishly thought I'd get Nesta and Ayala in my next two picks for my CB partnership

I always have a team in my head and they're always all gone by round three. Every single time.

Bergkamps a decent pick but honestly, my opinion of him has diminished recently with the emergence of a big game scoring, trophy winning mouth breather who is a much better player than him.

It's true. Glad he’s not eligible for this one. Maradona was a great pick for Lastrador, but picking Harry Kane would’ve been unfair.

Surprised he’s not eligible mind. Would’ve thought a striker of his class could’ve dragged Spurs to European glory. Must’ve been saving himself for Burnley away.

I actually proposed a ‘UEFA Cup, Cup Winners Cup and great pass on 42 minutes Winners’ draft but rightly wasn’t deemed fair.

NNOOOOOOOOO Neeskens!!

Only happened across him by luck too, had no idea he'd won that cup. Good times.

XabiArt · « **Reply #220 on:** March 8, 2018, 11:09:36 am »

He was my second pick. The curse of being 2nd and 31st in the order! I guess I got Ronaldo though.

Did Trend leave his picks with anyone?

mikey_LFC · « **Reply #222 on:** March 8, 2018, 11:27:52 am »

Not with me.

There is one player I can't believe hasn't been drafted yet. Mainly because I think he is criminally underrated by Liverpool fans.

Oh yeah, he never gets picked early. Forever overshadowed.

Shame we didn't include the Intertoto Cup, could have had Zidane and Ronaldinho

Who knew.

This reminds me of that draft where we tried to set lots of clever rules. One of which was to pick a player who had been relegated and then someone discovered that Zidane had been at Cannes, and it created complete bedlam.

Can we assume not and move on to the next pick?

Nope, he has 2 hours regardless of whether he's online or not. He mentioned above he'd be back around noon-ish UK time.

Hagi, Bergkamp, and Neeskens were my top 3. Fuckers. Drafting next to Tubby yet again is going to lead to so much heartbreak.

I've had numerous heartbreaks drafting next to you or Samie. I'm sandwiched between the two of you this time!

Really interesting pool of players to pick from in this draft. Loads of good players to pick from, but we’re already running short on truly great ones.

It’s basically the Europa League of drafts….oh wait!

True that. I was already struggling between picking positionally or picking the next best all-time great. It should make for an interesting mix of hipster picks and legends in every line-up, which we've not really seen before in a draft. Of course, Hazell needn't adjust his gameplan whatsoever

Thanks mate. Would have sent picks but when I went off line 3 were in front of me --- and of course two picked players I wanted

Anyhow, thanks for waiting. I do not anticipate much of it in the future mate.

There's a player I really want but there's no way he'll go unpicked until it gets round to me again.

Heading to Doctor's office for little one --- head cold. Anywho, it looks like it may be a while --- anyone willing to take my picks while we wait for XaviArt and Lastro to pick twice?
