    Sterling and Mane for Lokomotiv looks like the strongest foundations so far. I hope those Sancho and Havertz picks were inspired. Definitely maintaining budget.

    We need to start using proxy picks to keep the draft moving, especially with the 2 EAUS pickers back to back

    Tbf we have been. Hard in the middle 2 spots to proxy because you cant really give 8 to 10 players to cover 2 turns

    After Eric makes his two picks, I'll make my Round 4 pick.

    Then, I'll be up for another 4 hours. Will have my phone beside me for any call/text alerts I'm back up.

    I'm also available to make proxy picks. Just send me an email with your choices in order.

    Good effort everyone. We prob wont get many more picks if norm didnt leave any proxies.

    Most likely we will see another round of picks in 6 hours or so when he wakes up.

    Anyone nervous or happy about their team so far?

    Only the 5th round and three of my next picks were selected by the managers before me.

    Jota, 2 picks before I was grabbing him and Bamford and Jiminez just before I was picking them. STOP IT!

    I'm open for trade talks for Bamford, Jota, and Jiminez.

    Doesn’t feel great missing out on the big hitters but my teams pretty balanced and I like how it’s shaping up so far

    Great progress everyone! It’s tough to see your picks go right in front of you but that’s why this draft is the best format.

    I will be offline for about an hour from 8am to 9am central

    While trying to get financial statements, they had me delete cookies and browsing history and it also deleted my saved passwords.

    I haven't been able to get back in until now Got caught up on draft so I think I'm back to normal functioning, at least what passes as normal for me.

    Crazy about Ings - will Watkins and Ings both play?

    Reminder that if a player from Italy joins Chelsea during the draft we all have to wait until draft is over and cannot pick him up during the draft.

    Once the draft is over there is a 24 hour freeze and then it’s a free for all, first to post gets anyone not on another team

    about 28 hours after I made Watkins my "everyday sure starter" 2nd round pick:rolleyes:
    think Ings likely to score more at AV than he would have at SOU this season

    Just wondering if you have 3 players from a certain team then another player transfers to the same club how does that play out. Is there any rules in draft that covers this scenario.

    well you can keep all 4 until you make any transfer at which point you are forced to keep no more than 3

    When you enter your team into the official site it’s not going to allow it once they update the team the player is associated with

    We are getting through this at a great pace. I may be going to some patchy service areas for work, but ill try to check every hour or so for updates and to provide proxy if necessary.

    I expect we probably finish by tomorrow, especially when people can go out of turn to fill in positions noone else has to
