Fantasy Football Draft
- Thread starter Desert Eagle
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
right this thing got fecked up somewhere along the line (the OP needs to be updated so we can see who still needs to pick) but based on the 24hr rule it is definitely my go so I complete my squad with:
David De Gea
David De Gea
by my calculations The White Pele, Excal and myself have completed our squads.
As far as I am concerned any of the remaining players can now jump in whenever and complete theirs as well - first come, first served!

Updated squad list above. I'll PM Stobzilla, Fort Boyard, Sharky and Desert Eagle to complete their squads.
good work KM !
So Sharky and Desert Eagle just need 1 more player
Fort Boyard (3 players) and Stobzilla (4 players) are way behind - if they are not around then we might need volunteers to take over their teams and complete them.

Right. I think I can get a striker in, someone needs to clarify how many more picks I can have after this one though.
My choice is
Romelu Lukaku
The kid is a beast, every team wants him he's gonna be a superstar.

who is that?!
you need 3 more players to be your subs (1 must be a keeper) and can pick them all now

that is Lukaku (i didnt know either, but right click => view image info...unless its just a very bizarrely named file)
Sub GK:
Diego Lopez very very good keeper.
Giuseppe Rossi. Banging in the goals this season.
Anderson - Energy and versatility all across the middle and can play on the left. wing also.

I want to play in this fantasy league next year. Please the person in charge PM me when you start it again. This will definitely be fun.
right since it is international week and not much going on - I want to finish this thing off and then have a vote for the best team.
3 teams are incomplete (Fort Boyard, Sharky and Desert Eagle) and at least 2 of the original posters seem to have gone missing so I need volunteers to take over their teams - so express your interest here or PM me

I reckon we should do a new one!
Sorry lads. Haven't been on in a while. I guess I still need a back up keeper. I'll go with Rene Adler the Leverkusen #1 and maybe future United #1.
It's international week. Though I wouldn't mind a re-do of that Gattuso pick...
feck that - lets finish this one and then you can do what you want!
Back from the dead! So you going to sort this thing out or do I need to do it for you?
we should have a draw for a knock out cup and then vote to see which squad wins
I won't be on as much Rood, so if you could do the draw that would be great. I am pretty confident I have the best team anyways.
Nice work on Cashley there 
My team
Neuer
Sagna-Pepe-Cheillini-Evra
Song-Sahin
Mueller-Iniesta-Nasri
Drogba
Subs: Valdes, Aquilani, Fletcher
My team

Subs: Valdes, Aquilani, Fletcher
I had to rethink my formation a bit because Gourcuff and especially Gattuso have gone (more) to shit since I picked the bastards.
So:
Subs: Howard, Gourcuff, Gattuso
So:
Buffon
Ramos--Puyol--Luiz--Lahm
Nani--Y. Toure--Ozil--Donovan
Rooney--Higuain
Ramos--Puyol--Luiz--Lahm
Nani--Y. Toure--Ozil--Donovan
Rooney--Higuain
Subs: Howard, Gourcuff, Gattuso
Ok so after a random draw the match ups are:
1. Rood vs Excal
2. White Pele vs Stobzilla
3. KM vs Desert Eagle
4. Fort Boyard vs Sharky
1 vs 2 and 3 vs 4 in the semis.
If one of the mods would be kind enough to arrange a poll for each of the matchups. Lets have 3 days per matchup. Seems fair enough. Remember you are voting with an eye on the future as well as the current ability of team.
ROOD vs EXCAL. It's on!
If there is no poll then caf members are encouraged to post their opinions and votes in the thread and i will tally the results in 72 hours starting now.
1. Rood vs Excal

Rood.
I also vote for Rood
Ok I will put a new thread in Mod Forum requesting a poll - so wait for that before voting. I think we will need a new thread for each 'match'.

Only just saw this! Anyway you have sorted the draw so good on that - you need to update the OP with the latest squads, you can use this post from KM's and then add the few extras that have been picked since then:

I think everyone now has a full squad apart from Fort Boyard? so he will have to make do with a First XI and no subs!
Right Dr. Dwayne has kindly volunteered to help us sort this out - just working out the logistics with him.
In meantime, it would be useful if everyone posted their First XI and the formation they want to go with (should leave us all with 3 subs) - if you dont post one then I will choose one for you because I cant be arsed to wait for the slow ones to sort it !

Contemplated dropping both wingers and bringing in my 2 dutchies for a 4-4-2 diamond but ultimately I was too proud of this picture.
Subs: Lloris, Van De Vaart, Van Persie
Subs: Howard, Gourcuff, Gattuso
Got enough hair in that back 4?
If you include their hair, my center-backs average 195cm in height.
FC Stobzilla
Reina
Zanetti
Lucio
Samuel
Clichy
Gerrard
Essien
Fabregas
Robben
Lukaku
Robben

Double Robben is surely cheating.
I want a redo of my team:
--------------Buffon--------------
Rooney--Rooney--Rooney--Rooney
Rooney--Rooney--Rooney--Rooney
---------Rooney--Rooney---------
Be a cracking team until one of the Rooneys loses his shit and gets himself sent off.

I still think someone should plug all these teams into FIFA or the like and autoplay them.
I'll do it at some point. Probably start on it next week or something.
Right I've got one sub left to pick and then I'm PMing my tactics for the new thread
Eden Hazard
