So, now we're getting towards the end of the draft, how is everyone feeling about their teams (so far)?

Pretty happy but, as with everyone I suspect, kicking myself at players I could have had but missed out on.

Ah well, c'est la vie. If I get the three players I want from my remaining picks, I'll be a happy enough camper.

[MENTION=15934]Rohana[/MENTION] your up

 

[Rohana]

Going to pick my manager now, I'm going to go with one of the favourites for the Man.U and Spurs job. Not only has he brought success to some of the biggest clubs in Europe, he's also taken rank outsiders to glory. He's currently taking charge of perineal international underachievers who have breezed through qualification and we will be one of the teams to look out for at the 2014 World Cup,

[Frutos]

So I think we're caught up with all the outstanding picks now, right?

 

[Rohana]

Indeed Frutos, we are up to date for the first time in a while, with [MENTION=23606]Shatner's Bassoon[/MENTION] up next.

Relieved I managed to get both of my picks in before Ieave for Derby in the morning.

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

My next pick has won three league titles with Lyon, and four with Barcelona (plus two Champions League titles). He's come back from serious illness to play at the highest level again.

This season he's played his part in one of the most heartwarming stories in football, helping plucky little Monaco into second place in Ligue 1 in only their first season back in the big time. Dreams can still come true in football, ladies and gentlemen!

My left back is...Eric Abidal!



[MENTION=22841]stripeyshark[/MENTION] is up.

I know we aren't supposed to post videos, but please forgive me. I absolutely love this.

 

[stripeyshark]

Now for a young star who has had a superb season with Everton. He has been a key to their success this season with his runs forward, involvement in goals and improvement defensively. He is my second buccaneering full back. I present SEAMUS COLEMAN.
[MENTION=286]Garry Nelson's Left Foot[/MENTION]

Over to you.

[MENTION=286]Garry Nelson's Left Foot[/MENTION]

Over to you.

Balls. He's the only player I've had picked that I was going to pick next, so can't complain too much I suppose.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Just leaving for work but dont want to hold the game up so minimal fanfareand no pic for my next player. He's a rising star filling in my U-24 category. He is Real Madrids swashbuckling right back:

Daniel Carvajel
[MENTION=22841]stripeyshark[/MENTION], over to you

 

[The_Viper]

So far I am pretty damn chuffed with my team. The ONLY pick I badly wanted that got nabbed before me was Klopp, and I am delighted to grab Hitzfeld in his place. I have 6 players left on my draft board, hoping to grab 3 from those 6 and I'll be mega pleased.

Pretty sure we're going the other way mate so it should be [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION]

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Yes, you're right. Sorry [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION], you're next.

Yes, you're right. Sorry [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION], you're next.

[MENTION=15934]Rohana[/MENTION] - Does Hamilton's 1o hour time limit start when the pick was made by GNLF (@00.09am) or when the first notification was made that it was their turn? (@09.40) as there was a mistake made and the wrong player notified
