He's a solid pick-good at mixed games and can get a hold of a lot of chips in holdem. Not many are a legit threat in almost any game.

Ben Lamb
Brian Rast
Phil Ivey
Erik Seidel
Huck Seed

Honorable mention: Yevgeny Timoshenko

Deeb
Lamb
Ivey
Lissandro
Mercier

Unlucky to miss: Dan Kelly

Durrrr is good but not so sure about his tourny skills.

Ivey
Hellmuth
Shannon Shorr
Seidel
Lamb

Interested to see how blom does, since he does seem to be a good tourny player. But being good doesn't always equal success at the wsop. (Patrik, durrr etc)

TBH, can't believe Phil Hellmuth isn't getting more love. He may not be the best cash game player in the world, but he's clearly a beast if you want a guy who is going to produce cashes and bracelets.

Blom or Dwan are some of the last guys you'd want to pick - the last thing you want is your big pick not putting in the time because they got distracted by a high stakes poker game.

I mean, I guess it just depends on what we're picking for. Are we picking the most entertaining guys to watch play, or are we picking guys that are actually going to produce?

I'd say Ivey and Hellmuth are top picks, and I wouldn't feel bad about having Elky, Mercier, or Selbst (although maybe Selbst isn't a first pick purely because I'd often expect to be able to pick her up in a later round as a huge bargain) either, provided I knew they all planned to show up and put in a lot of events.

I don't like watching the guy play, he annoys me, and I think he's kind of a dbag, and he's kind of terrible at cash games, but if I wanted to win, I'd be snap calling Hellmuth first pick. The guy is focused on showing up, playing hard, and taking home bracelets, something I don't think can be said for a lot of the younger cash game oriented guys.

all about guys who can play mix,

1. Ivey
2. Mercier
3. Negreanu
4. Katchalov
5. Seiver (if he plays everything)

1. Ivey
2. Mercier
3. Jorg
4. Katchalov
5. Lissandro

Phil Ivey
Jason Mercier
Daniel Negreanu
Eugene Katchalov
Elky/Seiver (haven't decided)

Close others

DN gets the HM

Ivey
Mercier
Siever
Deeb
Hellmuth

I think the key to the draft is finding players who are good at mix games (because of the small fields) and people that traditionally played in tons of events. If I were drafting in a big money league I would look at how many events people played last year and check social media sites to see if they plan on playing lots of events or if they have bracelet or P.O.Y bets that would motivate them to play in tons of events.

1. Shaun Deeb
2. James Obst
3. Steve Gross
4. Chris Moorman
5. Jon Turner

Shawn Buchanan needs more love. Guy had more cashes than anyone last year and has a bunch of near misses..

Buck
SFD
Moorman
Ivey
Mercier

Elky and Hellmuth would be my next two

For the most cashes/prize money:

Ivey
Lamb
Negreanu
Seidel
Hellmuth

Ivey
Shaun Deeb
Kidpoker
Juanda
Hellmuth

to pick in fantasy draft i assume you just have to go with players who are good in mixed games and play alot of these fields with fewer players.
