Nice draft lads...

Went Betty, Lobo, Sangria, and Buck

Tough ones to pick really as I liked Defacto's team too.

Betty, DS and Pete (and myself, obvs).

All good teams though, actually feels very even in terms of quality. Like we hit the sweet spot of just enough quality players in each position for every drafter, and no real stand-out megastars (probably Lewa, Del Piero, Davids and Pigue the biggest stars)
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Yeah, all very even teams, this draft has been a great leveller. Tough to call all of them, except mine vs Betty obviously.

Me and Max are very well balanced so I guess it comes down to whether you prefer Andy Robertson or Ashley Cole, as human beings.

Exactly mate, and cheated on her.

Thats true actually.

That game is so close it also comes down to two players: Vardy and Morientes.

Morientes was magnificent for Liverpool, and I believe paid some money towards the new training ground. Whilst Vardy spends his spare time chucking noodles at Chinese people in casinos. Sooooo......

Probably for the best to be aware of all the details before we condemn Cole. Personally went for Max on that one, felt the midfield and defence were a touch stronger.

Is a vote for Max confirmation that's how I am? Bloody hell, didn't think that through at all.

There is nothing wrong with liking Ashley Cole. He was a great left back, best one in this millennia.

The kid he shot is fine was patched up with band-aid. He now has a story to tell his grandkids on how he got shot by the greatest left-back off all time.

Whew. Tight games all round. Just about squeezed past the king of hipsters himself. Excellent side he had.

Went for Max in the other game thanks to a stronger midfield, preferred De's team in the other one, and Tubby won out thanks to Schemeichel in the last. All were on a knife edge though.

Well in Max, probably the best team in the draft aside from mine and has that added bonus of people being able to show their preference for players who cheat on their wives, throw children out of aeroplanes and shout at old people.

Well done Betty. A bit gutted I lost as I was quite pleased with my team, which is rarely ever the case :P All strong teams in this draft though, it's going to be tough to pick a winner.
