I've decided to go scorched earth in this draft and pick the players traditionally undervalued because of personal emnity. I know, I know, bold strategy Cotton, etc.

Yeah Tubby picked him
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.

Carvalho was the far better player. You know it, you just forgot to pick him. ;D

Who's up now?? I'm lost due to my lack of intelligence and I have Linudden's next pick. Awful decision to leave it with me like.

Carvalho was going to be my Chelsea pick. I've gone to the well early with Liverpool, Arsenal and Man Utd, the Premier League's three greatest ever teams. Carvalho made Terry look better than he was, which Ferdinand did for Vidic also.

By the looks both Jordan and Sarge missed their turns, it's Lobo's turn?

It’s another of Linuddens alter egos. I did suspect when the only thing he was ever sensible about was office quotes.

:D

I thought whose a surefire vote winner and Rooney was the first player that came to mind.
We have to change from doubter to believer. Now.

Can someone PM me please when it gets to Linudden’s pick. I’m going to be sporadically unavailable for the next 2 hours and I want to avoid the indignity of sending pictures of Leo Bonucci to my colleagues on Teams.

I made my pick yesterday, I'm off for two hours from now onwards but after that I'm going to be okay :wave

So going by the opening post in the selection thread (which I don't think has changed), then Campbell will be judged on his Arsenal career?  Still a bit fuzzy on this stuff.

That was the original plan, but he’s supposed to be judged on his time at Pompey now…

Everyone just needs to put the initials of the club alongside their player in the formations - e.g. Kante (LEI). Simples.

Good shout this btw - so hopefully everybody does!

If not I’ll be immediately suspicious ;D

There's nothing wrong with sadio at southampton or VVD. they both played for numerous seasons. the minimum appearance for a team if there was one to stop pisstake picks wouldn't be anywhere near the amount of games they played for them

Just seen Elmo has picked Cantona. Bullied a weak Premier League, but shite in Europe. Suppose it is a Premier League draft so he might be ok but still a bit overrated I reckon. Hated him at the time, obviously.

Is it Bobby then me? Popping out shortly but can leave my pick with a kind volunteer as I think I’m certain to get him.
