Ardja, get in the draft room if you're reading this.

Ok I'm in. I'm the handsome cunt in the silk kimono smoking a big fat cuban (His name is Derek)

On the premier league site, there is a draft room

There's a tab at the top beside "home"

[Bjornebye]

This is fucking mental I love it

 

Do you get a transfer each week etc? I hope we aren't doing player trades 

[Guest Alex_K]

Made a bit of a dog's meal of this; should have got in the room earlier. Presumably points are calculated for players just as for their Fantasy Football counterparts?

[John102]

I take back all my bragging. My team is shite

Go to "My team" and set up your team for this GW, it looks just like FPL

Me!

"Transactions" is where you can apply to swap a player out. Or as many players as you like. It doesn't open until after the gameweek has finished and, if other people have applied to get the same player, the player who is lowest in the league gets him. It makes the changes 24 hours before the deadline for the next gameweek. In that 24 hour period, you can also swap players out for any player who is available...

[Allan]

Enjoyed that. Always good. Some strategical picks in there, some not so...

 

*cough* Dim's Antonio pick *cough*.

 

I'm whacked, been up since 05:00 for stupid day shift. 

 

Any questions, drop them in here and I'll answer tomorrow, unless Dim answers them before me!

I know FFS. Should've been bloody Maddison. Needless to say I'll be delving into the transfer market as soon as the GW is over!

You've won the first game round then 

[Lee909]

Think it will take 3-4 weeks for my team to start scoring. Alot of players coming off injuries. Happy with the draft though. Wait and see who is City regular LB and move from there

Pickford

Heaton

 

Robertson

Laporte

Pereira

Emerson

Kolasinac

 

De Bruyne

Moura

Tielemans

Redmond

Antonio

 

Wilson

Deulofeu

Maupay

 

Pretty average overall but at least most of them are pretty much guaranteed starters. Obviously Antonio was a mistake and I'm not sure why I picked Kolasinac either. Happy enough with the rest.

[No2]

Ederson 

Bravo

 

Wan Bisaka 

Maguire

Stones 

Richie

Mina 

 

Mane

Bernardo Silva

Zaha

Keita 

Ceballos  

 

Jesus

Adams

Joelinton 

 

Weak enough front 3 but happy enough overall.

[Guest Alex_K]

Patricio

Hennesy

 

Azpilicueta

Alonso

Chilwell

Jonny

Delph

 

Pepe

Richarlison

Mahrez

Felipe Anderson

Ozil

 

Abameyang

Deeney

Haller

 

Came in to find my timer ticking down, so bit of a mad rush on the first pick. Ozil looks to be off and I wouldn't be surprised to see Abameyang go too which would be a bit gutting to the side. Figure Mahrez will get more gametime this year. Pepe + Haller big unknown quantities.

I did that the last time - it's a good strategy.

I can't see Aubameyang going at this stage. Hennessey mightn't be first choice at Palace.

What stood out for me was the lack of centre forwards, once you get past Bobby, Aguero, Kane, Rashford and the 2 Arsenal lads you're already scraping the barrel. Its a long way from the days when the top sides all had 3 or 4 top strikers. Utd and Spurs have children in reserve once they go beyond Rashford and Kane, same with Arsenal if they want to play a front 2. Chelsea have the most but they're all a bit shit.
