wormy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Gutted that sending an excitable 'two minutes' pm to my group got me blocked by craigmadge, too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Can't say I'm looking to good. Blew my wad on De Bruyne first go and felt left with the dregs ever since. Did y'all do an auction draft? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Nah. I'm just shit at picking players. After him I feel like I've picked a very average side. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ketsbaia Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Something weird just happened with mine. Just randomly picked Walcott Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The draft makes you realise just how little quality there is in the Premier League now. I think Troy Deeney was like my 4th pick. Hideous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdckelly Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 yeah by the time I got back to picking a forward I wasn't impressed with the selection Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 The draft makes you realise just how little quality there is in the Premier League now. I think Troy Deeney was like my 4th pick. Hideous. Yeah; him going that early was a huge wake up call. I've basically just punted for a hopeful three of Rashford/Welbeck/Origi. At least one of them will get enough games, surely?

OCK Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Yeah man the Striker situation in the Premier League is ghastly. There's so little outside of the top 4 to go with. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Gareth McAuley's currently twelfth top defender for goodness sake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 If I was to do the draft again my first two picks would be the two best forwards available, everything else can be managed. After you've taken the 4 or so top tier fowards it's a fingers crossed game. I think Defoe and Troy Deeney would be decent shouts, I'm hoping Callum Wilson doesn't having another exploding knee or whatever as he seemed decent too. After that you've got the hardworking but inconsistent goal threats of Sam Vokes and friends. Andy Carroll and Sturridge are total wildcards due to their injury records, otherwise they'd be good picks too. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Was tempted to take a shot at Carroll, opened the info, saw 'return unknown' or whatever it is. Classic Carroll. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 So easy to pick a good defence. But my front 8...... ouch. How soon can I take Walcott out an unused player? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OCK Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 This is the way I see it Forwards Top Tier Kane Lukaku Lacazette Top Tier Risks Aguero - injuries and rotation Costa - transfer risk and moody bugger Second Tier Firmino Morata Vardy Defoe Benteke Deeney King Second Tier risks Giroud - Rotation and formation limitations Rooney - Rooney'd Rashford - Formation and Rotation Gayle - injury record Batshuayi - Rotation Llorente - injury After that everyone else is about even.

Beren Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 I disagree. Someone like Deeney or Joshua King, by virtue of pure minutes, will outscore (in FF) someone like Batshuayi. Someone like Welbeck is useless in Fantasy too. Lots of big team name bias IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
OCK Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 That was my planning for defenders, try and have equally good ones so I can swap out the ones playing away from home. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ketsbaia Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Hennessey, Schmeichel Alonso, Bailly, Monreal, Daniels, Yoshida Eriksen, Zaha, Lanzini, Ramsey, Walcott Morata, J King, Mounie :anguish: No Man City or Liverpool attacking coverage. That'll be fun. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welbeck shouldn't be on that at all tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
