Well presented @Edgar Allan Pillow. Most of the teams are evenly matched and tactically similar so much will come down to the debate in the match thread.
The Modern / Current Players Draft
- Thread starter Edgar Allan Pillow
- Start date

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) was joined by comedian Ali Woods to look back at the best and worst moments of a rollercoaster season with the annual United Hour Awards.
Has Ten Hag been sacked yet? We're not sure and we hope not, but it's looking more likely as the days pass.
Who should replace him and why is it taking so long to make a decision?
Dang it. I hate tactic discussion.
Anyway, what's your schedule @BorisDeLeFora ? I'm tied up on weekend.
And thank you for the draw @Edgar Allan Pillow .

Fine by me
Can ours start around 13:00 GMT? @Barney
Yeah, that's fine.
Great!
13:00 is difficult. 12:00 is possible. Let me see. Send to me a day earlier, if you can.
Yeah. I have looked at the matchup and no clear winner stands out. The discussions both on tactics and personnel should be interesting.
@MJJ can we do next week?
This Friday works best for me if @Snow is available for that.
Yeah, whatever suits you best.
No problem
Tue or Wed? Wed works best
@Edgar Allan Pillow , I am assuming you'll set the matches up. So, could you not use the current players draft as the title? Because, I feel many might mistake it for current form and vote accordingly. Just something like "The Modern Draft" with Peak Form Considered would be good.
Cheers!

Wed it is.
feck! Not a favourable draw at all.

Could we set mine and Raees game start time for 1330? I'll be able to get a good shift in after that.
Whenever is fine.
Not for me. I have a test on Saturday morning, the only time I need to show up to school on a Saturday the whole year.
Sunday is good and any day next week after Tuesday.
Just read 1300 GMT is bad. 12 would be ok though
This thread was far more interesting a couple of days ago

This has been really fun to draft.
I am alright with it pal. I'll be at work till 6:30pm GMT though.
Great fun to follow too
This has been really fun to draft.
Aye that's going to a game and a half.
Sunday should work. I think I'll have more time then than during the week.
You bastard
Yeah I actually think it's one of the better ones to follow from the sidelines.Great fun to follow too
You bastard
Has @Theon been on since? He still needs a pick.
I'll give him 8 more hours. If not maybe he forfeits the 12th pick.
Not sure on the extent of tactical advantage of picking after the draw.

Aye he needs to horse on. I want to talk about the unpicked players.
Here's my unpicked eleven
@Theon, come on!
P.S. Not sure if it was fair to have a draw before his final pick. Now he can adjust his team.
P.P.S. Hope that everything is okay with you, actually
