The Premier League Draft.

[Guy Fawkes]

It's a bit of a pisser, but it usually equals out throughout the draft. The other option would be to have the draft come to halt on match days, night-time, potentially 9-5 from Monday-Friday.

No really good ways of doing it tbh.

There would always be a case for stopping the draft at other times too (like if they work but not on a computer, or arn't able to surf the internet on work PCs, etc)

This whole thing is going to take a long time to complete with so many players involved and picks needed. At least with a 6 hour window it speeds up the whole thing and the person missing out can pick when they are next online and may still be the next player to pick anyway.

Quite lucky to get this far without this player being picked. A player who has not only scored lots of goals, but absolutely crucial ones aswell. Here are the FACTS.

Scored 118 league goals in 216 games for Liverpool.
1 Premier League
1 FA Cup
2 League Cups
1 UEFA Cup
1 Ballon D'Or

Scored 40 goals for Engalnd including a hat trick away in Germany.
Scored 2 goals in an FA Cup final.

Who's that?

Long term BHAFC transfer target:

MICHAEL OWEN

 

[Max Paper]

I'm going quick here as although most of my top choices have gone, this man was one I had been hoping to put in all along.

He might not have scored the most goals, he certainly provided a hell of a lot of assists and without a doubt people left their seats at the end of each match he played in thinking 'that is one HELL of a player. I give you the ice man....

Dennis Bergkamp

[MENTION=13376]albionalex[/MENTION] is up next

 

[albionalex]

[MENTION=1284]moggy[/MENTION] is up next

Once we've compiled our teams, how do we determine which is best?

I don't mind deciding if that would help.

We'll probably have a vote with the usual categories - Best Defence, Best Midfield, Best Attack, Most Balanced.

I was also thinking of a tournament a-la Worlds Hardest Creature. Four groups of 6, top two go through to the 1/4s and then a straight knock-out to the final. We could make it that all teams who reach the 1/4 final have to make 2 changes to their team so the subs bench then becomes even more important.

Making use of the full squad would make the game even more fiendishly difficult. Let's do it!

Also, Vieira? you *******.

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

[MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION] has until 03:37...

 

[Hamilton]

3.37? Pah!

GIANFRANCO ZOLA

 

[Guy Fawkes]

[MENTION=6505]Foolg[/MENTION], you're up

 

[DarrenFreemansPerm]

It's harsh, but [MENTION=6505]Foolg[/MENTION] 's window closed 06:20. [MENTION=1349]turienzo's lovechild[/MENTION] is up

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

ok i'm picking a guyvwho is quite underrated and rarely spoken about these days. He has multiple league titles and a champions league to his name. He's the Premier leagues second highest goalscorer....

Andrew 'don't call me Andy, COLE

 

[turienzo's lovechild]

[MENTION=6505]Foolg[/MENTION]
@gnlf

are both up

 

[shaolinpunk]

I've just woken up from a night's sleep where instead of dreaming my brain has been searching itself for every great PL player that I'd not thought of.

I've got some crackers lined up that'll definitely be gone by the time I want to pick them

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

O.K, my first pick...well, pictures paint a thousand words...



Relegated with Forest, if you're interested.

I'm going to think a little longer on my next pick.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

**** it, I was going to build a balanced team, a team with a strong spine- goal keeper, defender, midfielder, striker... but what spine can be stronger than Roy Keane and my next player...

YAYA TOURE



Roy Keane and Yaya Toure patrolling the middle of the pitch. Read it and weep bitches!

Now I'll just wait a week and 46 picks until its my go again...

[MENTION=1349]turienzo's lovechild[/MENTION] it's back to you.
