Rijkaard going means I basically have to replan my entire team.

Had to nip away. Figured I'd be 10 picks behind by now. Guess Nick is agonising over his own pick!

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.

I could name them, but those drafters would probably hate me for it  :D  Pretty sure it's fairly easy to work out though.

Mbappe is actually a very smart pick if Bobby is taking the route I think he is.

Yes, BB, as I thought it was one club and out? If not, then I'm out as I don't see the fucking point tbf

I wouldn't mind you changing your pick considering the rules were up in the air for so long. Plenty of top top class legendary players left too. 

Still, I think you could plot an interesting route with Mbappe to create an excellent side from it.

If the old man wants to change because he was confused, I'm happy for him to change his pick. We're going so slowly he could do it next week.

Thanks DS. That Thurman pick has now snookered me.

Still, Klinsman did play with Colin Cakderwood at Spurs so all is not lost.

You'd link him to Jason Cundy from that squad, no?

I'm liking this draft so far but still waiting to see how it pans out - one player going can completely send you back to the drawing board and I've a sneaking suspicion it may be the case that some teams will not be able to fulfil the brief, if you're committed to a certain path and then the key connecting player is taken. Early doors that was Rijkaard for me - he was to be my third pick that connected all the dots. Had to rethink and probably will have to several more times before this is out.

It's a good idea, will prove a great one if we make it to the end and no one is snookered.
