Rolled the dice with Bale there, think some of his stats can be pretty random.  Worth it if it comes off.

Didn’t realise you’d picked him. I was just thinking that I’ll probably be picking in the morning and settled on him as my next one. You’re literally at the top of the list and I’m thick as fuck.

That pick was meant to be Aubameyang so we're even.

I’ve PM’d @Skidfingers McGonical as 2 threads are awaiting his input. 
 

Edit - 3 threads. 

[aRdja 2,678]

Bed time. @Scott_M has my picks.

[John102 598]

Are lots of teams setting up with wide forwards. Seems that way.

If I am, I don't know I am. I'm not sure I even understand what you're saying.

I am, at the moment anyway. I think it depends on the players available to me when it gets to my next pick.

Good to know, was thinking of doing the same. He said work stopped him the other day, so prob best give it some time now.

Apart from Sir Roger who seems to be setting up Brexit ball with Grealish and Calvert-Lewin  chasing balls over the top.

I normally play an attacking 4-4-2 on the game, but ultimately it will depend on whatever players I manage to snag. I'd rather fit the formation around what I have available rather than attempt to shoehorn players into a tactic they're not suited to.

I was mocking you for being a big smarmy teacher's pet. Sorry if it didn't translate. My bad. x

Oh.
 

Think it needs the Thomas Muller meme.

You get four formations that ‘you’ as manager would use.

 

Preferred formation, second preferred,

defensive and attacking.

 

I’ll set all these up later for you once I get your feedback.

 

 

 

[Captain Turdseye 12,083]

I’m off to feed the ducks. I’ve also left my next defender pick with @Scott_M 

 

If it miraculously makes it back down to me before I get back it’ll have to wait because I’ve got no idea who I’ll be choosing after that.

Since I picked Bale, I should probably check this... Season starting injuries are cleared, right?

Yeah, clean slate and full fitness.

 

Can’t control it once it’s started through.

If he pulls his finger out and we motor through we should be done with selections in a day or so.

 

Then I’ll get you to do the manager stats and preferred tactics, another day or so.

 

So even with him taking his time to start with we should be up and running Monday/Wednesday, hopefully.

No chance bro , trust me I run drafts which are less complicated with less people and they can take much longer

He'll respond during the match tonight.

 

Given our recent performances, it might make it more exciting.

Ha. I admire your optimism. 

[John102 598]

A day or so? The naivety of youth...

 

If you can get it done then we really have no need for Stig anymore. Fingers crossed for you mate.
