Titus Bramble will still be knocking around, surely?

He can be picked in 98/99 Tier 4 or 18/19 Tier 10( i think he played in the east counties league) the possibilities are endless.

Man the shit thing about being unpopular on this forum is I kinda want to fuck with you guys but I'm 90% sure one of you will torpedo my pick out of pure malice.

Hazard

Always found Hazard suffered when playing central. Nowhere near the player he is from out wide. And even so I can already feel the torpedoes incoming on that one!

Anyway I’m going for Gini Wijnaldum in two more attacking role. Still provides energy but is let loose due to the support provided by Mascherano and Tielemans.

Except when he had someone to play off from 10. Giroud, for example and Lukaku for Belgium.

Wasn’t he left wing for Belgium with De Bruyne central?

Well out of the people who declared so far I'd think you do. But that still leaves 8 to go for 4-5 players at those sides.

You'd probably have a free run at United's!

He's played in the 10 for Belgium. Also, him and Costa were a handful. Point being, he can play in the ten with a target man rather than central on his own as was the case in more recent times

He sent his picks in right at the start of the day

But then Vish came back and I gave him until the deadline to make new picks, but he didn't get round to it so was stuck with a blocked Ronaldo.

I reckon one of Salah, Mane or Firmino will go through this round while two of them will get blocked. Which ones? I have no idea. But they sure are not surviving till the next round.

Round 8 pix:

MikeyLFC - Gini Wijnaldum (Tier 1 AM)
Fucking appalled - Bobby Firmino (Tier 1 AM), Gudni Bergsson (Tier 4 98/99 CB)
Lovelycushionesheader - Son Heung Min (Tier 1 AM)
Vivabobby - Eden Hazard (Tier 1 AM), Gareth Bale (Tier 2 08/08 CM)
Claus - Eden Hazard (Tier 1 AM)
DeFacto - Bobby Firmino (Tier 1 AM), Nigel De Jong (Tier 2 08/09 CM), Ryan Shawcross (Tier 5 CB)
Maxpowers - Son Heung Min (Tier 1 AM)
TrendisnotChakan - Bobby Firmino (Tier 1 AM), Gary Ablett (Tier 4 98/99 CB), Jonas Olsson (Tier 5 CB)
AdzLFC - Sadio Mane (Tier 1 AM), Nigel De Jong (Tier 2 08/09 CM)

SO...

Tier 5 CBs first. You're both fine

Tier 4 98/99 CBS next. Both fine!

Tier 2 98/99 CMs. Bale and Parker are fine. De Jong, sadly invalid. Serves him right for that kung fu kick in the world cup final if you ask me.

Tier 1 AMs. A lot of love, unsurprisingly, for Bobby who is invalid, as are Son and Hazard. That cleans out most people. Two reds get through though, Gini and Mane are both valid picks.

Updated teams and invalid picks:

DeFacto - Alex McCarthy (GK), Daryl Janmaat (RB), Digne (LB), Pallister (98/99 CB), Shawcross (CB), Gundogan (CM)
Fucking appalled* - Kasper Schmeichel (GK), Steven Gerrard (04/05, RB), Creswell (LB), Mamadou Sakho (CB), Gudni Bergsson (98/99 CB), Xabi Alonso (08/09 CM), David Silva (CM)
TrendisnotChakan* - Ederson (GK), Wan-Bissaka (RB), Van Dijk (LB), Gary Ablett (98/99 CB), Jonas Olsson (CB), Rice (CM), Modric (10/11 CM)
Claus - De Gea (GK), Robertson (RB), Kyle Walker (LB), Roy Keane (98/99 CB), Bednarek (CB), Henderson (CM), Lampard (08/09 CM)
MikeyLFC - Rui Patricio (GK), Montoya (RB), Chilwell (LB), Sanchez (CB), Materazzi (98/99 CB), Tielemans (CM), Mascherano (08/09 CM), Wijnaldum (AM)
Max_powers* - Nick Pope (GK), Bellerin (RB), Otto (LB), Coady (CB), Dave Watson (98/99 CB), Felipe Anderson (CM), Scholes (08/09 CM)
vivaboby - Butland (GK), De Bruyne (RB), van Aanholt (LB), Lascelles (CB), Sol Campbell (98/99 CB), Fernandinho (CM), Bale (09/09 CM)
AdzLFC - Tom Heaton (GK), Michail Antonio (RB), Laporte (LB), Stam (98/99 CB), John Obi Mikel (CB), Eriksen (CM), Mane (AM)
Lovelycushionedheader - Matt Ryan (GK), Cedric Soares (RB), Emerson Palmieri (LB), Rudiger (CB), Stuart Pearce (98/99 CB), Ruben Neves (CM), Michael Essien (08/09 CM)
Vishwa* - Pickford (GK), Alexander-Arnold (RB), James Milner (LB), Irwin (98/99 CB), Dunk (CB), Maddison (CM), Parker (08/09 CM)

*Indicates have used winger pick.

Invalid picks - Alisson, Kepa, Lloris, Fabianski, Azpilicueta, Fabinho, Vertonghen, Rose, Pereira, Gomez, Kompany, Maguire, Schar, Desailly, Adams, Rio Ferdinand, Ake, Des Walker, Kante, Patrick Vieira, Hegazi, Henchoz, Cristiano Ronaldo, Fabregas, Firmino, Son, Hazard, De Jong.

SO.
I need Tier 3 08/09 CMs from defacto and Adz .
I need Tier 2 Attacking midfielders/numbers 10s from most of you.
And Tier 1 Right Wingers from everyone.

Or maybe somebody more Egyptian!

Don’t think I’ll risk that one, pretty sure he’ll go.

Think I’ll go for Pedro instead. Had a cracking season.

mikey_LFC · « **Reply #317 on:** July 30, 2019, 11:27:46 pm »

Some really good options still left this round.

The best two being Salah and Sterling obviously. But Alli, Mkhitaryan, Willian, Pedro, Mahrez, Mata are all there. Plus people like Eriksen, Bernardo Silva, Sane, Lacazette, Aubameyang, Ozil and more from other positions still to go.

Should be easy enough for everyone to get through and not stray close to my man Lucas Moura!

Max_powers · « **Reply #318 on:** July 30, 2019, 11:34:34 pm »

I am picking Jaime Vardy and Aubameyang.

mikey_LFC · « **Reply #319 on:** July 30, 2019, 11:37:06 pm »

Also just noticed, still loads of ringers left. Wonder if we all had the same idea. Could make it tricky to miss each other!
