The Premier League Draft.

[Frutos]

Sorry everyone, started a new job on Saturday so been a bit rushed off my feet. Doesn't help that Virgin Media are f*cking useless and this is the first time my wifi has worked properly in about 48 hours.

I'm still waiting on votes from 3 people, [MENTION=8619]Guy Fawkes[/MENTION], [MENTION=21578]Worthingite[/MENTION], and [MENTION=22841]stripeyshark[/MENTION]. I'll give them another 48 hours to get their votes in before moving on and giving them a points deduction.

Congrats on the new job, and looking forward to seeing how this plays out.

 

[stripeyshark]

Sorry for the delay. I have now sent all my votes in.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

My votes are now in.

A lot of really good teams there that have made it extremely tough to rank them and as a result, i've really struggled to get my votes in an order that i am happy with, (although saying that, I'm not sure that i'm entirely happy with what i've submitted but i've run out of time and had i had longer, it may have changed again.) - Every time i've started to look at it, i've produced a very different result so i've merged the results to get my final rankings.

No wonder the votes are spread out between participants so widely and with so many contenders for each category.

 

[Rohana]

Just got in, will count the last sets of votes tomorrow.
[MENTION=21578]Worthingite[/MENTION], if you can get your votes in tomorrow morning then I shall count them, however once they've been added that will be it,.

 

[Rohana]

All the votes are in.

Do you want Drama? The winner changed hands 3 times in the last 3 sets of votes.

Will post the results soon.

The fact that it's been THAT close confirms to me that there really aren't any weak teams involved in this.

I thought you were gonna post them after the World Cup style tournament?

That seems better in my opinion. Thanks again for running this.

Laptop crashed just after I'd counted the last 4 sets of votes, so I'm going to have to do those again. (I've had the worst run of luck since the draft ended )

My plan was to announce the lesser categories, then do the tournament, leaving the overall 18th-1st ranking until afterwards. However I can change the order if people like?

Sounds perfect to me.

 

[Hamilton]

Anyone know what is happening with this competition?

 

[Rohana]

The "Premier League Draft Award Ceremony and Tournament Group Draft" will begin at 1300.


Catchy name, right?

 

[MattBackHome]

I'll be gutted if I don't win everything, just by virtue of having the GALL to play Le Tiss & Berbatov in the same team.

Mesmerising, languid, undefendable football.

It will be a MAJOR shock if you don't win the most balanced award

Edit: Thanks [MENTION=15934]Rohana[/MENTION] for doing this! I can't wait!

Must say I'm please with 3rd place for my defence but disappointed my attack with the currently top scorer and the all time top scorer didn't get anywhere
