All-Time English Premiership Draft - Page 16 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Well there is a point there, if I am given a nominal outfield position, I can obviously wander anywhere on the pitch to maybe mitigate damage of strictly trying to play that position.

Cant do that as keeper.

drogba was more than goals. think i take one undrafted striker ahead of him but hes def fine late in the first round. underrated in part due to his play acting early in his chelsea career

--

given the de-emphasis on longevity in this draft i think suarez can be argued to be top 5

I agree more to Drogba than goals but I think that's true of most strikers at the top level RvN aside. I think if I was taking a striker in the first round I'd look for someone who scored more personally but maybe it's just me.

you could easily argue Suarez' last season was best of anyone in PL history, so it just depends on how you interpret the rules of the draft

Suarez was a bit of a flat track bully. Don't remember him ever taking over a game against the likes of United/Chelsea/City.

**** you people. All playing the let's let PhilCollinsfan fall as far as possible so we look popular. His peak easily top 8 in this.
Actually if he's as boring as Phil scholes he prob goes tip 4

Bill Ageo's last log-in was Tuesday, which is a bit worrisome. I guess if he hasn't picked by the time I wake up in the morning we'll be forced to skip him, I'll make Banzai's pick and then we can continue.

Drogba was the steal of the draft. Easily should have been in the top 3 with Ronaldo and Henry. Would son either of them in a big spot. Swagrez also a great pick. Lololds.

yah you have your flat track bullies like henry and suarez and cr7, then u have DROGBA who son good teams in big games (and arsenal) and do things like score epic late equalizers in CL finals and strike the winning penalty so that the club is back in CL and can then attract sick players instead of losing them all to man u and man city

Do I need to update the spreadsheet myself?

Am assuming I don't need to do the spreadsheet (you don't have my email so I guess it can't be shared with me!)

Bit of narrative to my pick. Can't believe he's still on the board.
Scored goals, made goals, was a central influence in man uniteds resurgence. Made idiots on the terraces think twice about running to the touchline to insult players.

Multiple trophies, huge goals in huge games.

And, the most physically imposing player I've seen in the flesh. Only 6-2, but had a barrel chest that players bounced off

cantona the steal of the draft so far, has a body of work that is comfortably better than most players picked so far with 4 titles in 5 years, i considered taking him over bergkamp and i've spent the last couple of days being embarassed for all of you clowns arguing how ronaldo should have gone 2nd while the real king had gone undrafted
