Into the fray once more! Once the draft begins let's move all discussions to here and retire the organizing thread. Appropriate decorum is requested. As per usual norms, please keep the use of conjured spells and illegal drone activity to a minimum. Let's continue to keep the whingeing above the 1800 line. If you require an explanation for that please contact the dawgs. Lobo will begin the draft the morning of July 25. Perhaps we can count on the ever reliable Journey to capture and freeze the player list sometime after that. Good luck to all!
The player list is already up to date and I'll double check it and lock it in when I get up on Monday.
I might have to catch up on this fancy speak and lingo that you big boys use because I didn't understand any of that mate.
You are a very interesting man Lobo . You and I might just get along . Once I can work out what you are on about.
I hope you were watching that mighty Florida Cup final @lobomojo? Arsenal looked miles ahead you although early days. Chelsea defending like Leeds Utd last season.
Very ugly indeed, causing me to reconsider that Timo first pick... I really would like to see Jorginho return to his homeland, but yeah Arse looked really really good but are they or were we just that bad, probably both. Gonna be a heck of a battle for top 4.
Welcome, indeed we might, unless you start stealing my draft picks of course. If I ever "work out what ...[I am] ..on about" I will put you on the list to tell.
As a Raphinha owner the past couple of goals, I thoroughly enjoyed his goal last night and was trying to see if there was a way that I could still pick him this season just for old times but it looks like he's been officially removed from the system... Lots of questions and ideas in my draft notes for rounds 14 and 15, what can best be described as disorganized chaos for rounds 2-4, and shockingly little planned at this point for rounds 5-13....., but I believe that I'm ready for round 1 tomorrow! And, speaking of old times, the night before draft day (and the week of the draft) is always one of the best times of the year.... https://www.bigsoccer.com/threads/draft-day-musings.729213/#post-15357419 Good luck all.
Just a note from experience. Don't fret toooooo much over your draft picks from round 10-15; Odds are over 95 % that none of them will still be in your team late into the season.
I can't wait until we get to around Thursday when I look back at my team, look at everybody else's teams and think "What the Hell have I done??!!!", and try to figure out how to fix things with three picks to go. My wife won't be talking to me by then.
y'all want me to pick when I wake up or wait til Journeymen freezes the player list if he does not beat me to sunrise or 8-ish mst at latest? Sand moving along but yet to draft my double secret 1st pick, perhaps
In the morning at your convenience. I should be able to follow behind you with my own double secret second pick.
Round 10-15? This being the eve of the draft I was reminiscing about the past couple of years. I picked Auba 9th overall last year, and I think my 2nd and 3rd round pick two years ago were Firmino and Pulisic. I'm lucky if my round 2-15 draft picks make it the whole year on my team!
And away we go! Got to the first turn in 2.5 hours . Good start. It's 1:30am here, so I'm off to bed . I'll be back on in about 7 hours.
7 hours from now will be 11.30pm here. I may be awake for next round of picks. if not, I’ll pass proxy picks to someone.
What the heck Blech, you were supposed to pick Watkins* to keep up the reverse draft symmetry and earned my first "this means war" of the draft. Was hoping against the odds Maddison might just slip a bit more *and yeah what the heck was I thinking picking Watkins in 2nd round, no wonder I was in a relegation battle
always love the "this means war" picks.... and the symmetry was already wrecked with Tangers taking Robertson and Raphinha leaving town.... I'm sure you have big things still planned, in the double secret folder!
Don't worry blech will have the good sense to transfer Maddison out by GW 8. I will be a bit embarrassed if I pick up Maddison in round 2
Talked my self out of the new car smell for Haaland, but could not resist something new and shiney this round
I was a bit slow witted, I was great even the diehard Liverpool guy laughing at my pick,, but then I got it It was between him and Diaz, hopefully I can beat Top Shelf to a Chelsea pick soon And thanks to whomever did the goog docs for me, I am out of form, forgot on first pick then got beat to these picks as I finished a call.
