The Premier League Draft.

[Shuggie]

Promoted, relegated, won the league and won the cup, current player at his umpteenth PL club ... Richard Wright. Job done!

 

[Cullip4]

I've now lose THREE would-be sub 'keepers since my last pick (Robinson, Green, Begovic)....we are not amused.

There is a goalkeeper we know very well thats still available and fits in the relegated catagory but I was not brave enough to pick him!!

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

This thread will get controversial enough when the voting starts, without opening a second front in that particular war

I have one in mind, but its certainly not him.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

I thought i had someone already for the relegated category but it turns out despite being at the club the season before, during and after relegation that they didn't actually figure during the relegation season due to injury so i have had to reselect someone for this category .

My final pick played in the Premier League between 1996 and 2011, featuring for Leeds, Newcastle, West Ham and Birmingham, making 397 Premier League appearance and scoring 57 Premier League goals

In 1996, he was signed by Leeds United manager Howard Wilkinson for £2.8 million, which was a record for a British teenager. He was a key player in David O'Leary's Leeds side that qualified for the Champions League in 1999–2000, and which reached the semi finals of the UEFA Cup in 2000 and the Champions League in 2001. In the Champions League run he scored crucial goals against A.C. Milan, Barcelona and Anderlecht. He was voted the Leeds player of the year by supporters in both 1998–99 and 2000–01.

A combative, hard hitting midfielder who will and some combative qualities to my bench and who has such a desire to win that he is even prepared to fight teammates on the pitch
He is
LEE BOWYER

 

[Guy Fawkes]

[MENTION=5392]Reinelt12[/MENTION], time for your final pick

 

[Reinelt12]

My final pick for my bench can cover a couple of positions and is best known for being thrown up front for half a season and doing spectactularly.

My final pick is PAUL WARHURST

Those players would make a great five in midfield

[Frutos]

I have tried contacting [MENTION=5542]Horsham Gull[/MENTION] and [MENTION=23421]JOLovegrove[/MENTION] by various means to advise them of the 48 hour rule that we are rapidly approaching.

Here's hoping it has some effect.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Shatner's Bassoon your turn to complete your line up

 

[Guy Fawkes]

[MENTION=6505]Foolg[/MENTION] you have 8 picks to make to complete your team
[MENTION=1349]turienzo's lovechild[/MENTION] you have 4 picks to make to complete your team
[MENTION=5542]Horsham Gull[/MENTION] you have 6 picks to complete your team
[MENTION=23421]JOLovegrove[/MENTION] you have 7 picks to complete your team

Max Paper, i think it is safe to say has dropped out but didn't say anything however if they change their mind, they need to make 12 picks to catch up

 

[Frutos]

Shatner's Bassoon your turn to complete your line up

By my count, this means that the window for my final pick opened at 07:29, and so here it comes.

As previously posted I've missed out on multiple backup goalkeepers, but that doesn't stop me being happy with the man I've ended up with. He's a former England international (2 caps) who gave sterling service to clubs up and down the land and the divisions both before and during the PL era (Chelsea, Southampton, Edgware Town, Wimbledon, Newcastle, Grimsby, Wolves, Forest and Portsmouth, to name all but one of the ones he actually made an appearance for), was a key part in arguably the most famous FA Cup Final win of all time, and to ice the cake further he made his final professional appearance for our very own Brighton & Hove Albion.

The final member of FC Frutos is, of course, DAVE BEASANT.

Over to [MENTION=1958]Gazwag[/MENTION] to round out the scheduled picks.

 

[Guy Fawkes]
