My bad, the original was anyone gets injured but the unbreakables moved to 1-3, then 1-4, etc. But you had settled that when replying to me here.

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?
You happy with the current proposal then?
Didn't know you had two reinforcements in the first round. My argument was if there was only one.
Anyway, I missed the most critical point in that I couldn't get a T1-2 player at all. Wasn't planning to pick GOATs left, right and centre, but pivot to other formations through specific system players.
Never mind.
Yeah, yeah, sure. I've been in worse situations, I once got Gerrard in an RNG GOAT Midfielders round while others got Matthäus and Rijkaard. I can live with this.
Cool let's continue as planned.
The reason for two reinforcements is to mix the teams up a bit but it means ultimately that over half of the team is from the original draft in the final. 2 reinforcements now, 2 for the SFs and one for the final

Awesome. I had listed 20 players I would consider reinforcements, that's now down to 9, of those 6 are still unavailable and out of the remaining 3, two are goalies 
.
Back to square one then. Just came up with something completely left-field, but needed <blocked> for that to work

I'd left with O'Shea comes to my turn.
Feck it, I'll wait and see what's left over, can't do any of the 2-3 options I had in mind.
Funny thing is it's not the first turn shiny picks screwing me over but the 2nd turn ones.
fecked up my drafting initially, so reinforcement are fecked up too.
Torn between picking a shiny name to adapt my system and improve the aesthetic, or to be sensible and go for maximum jump in positional quality. Hmm
Wish I had that choice. It's now dawning on me the players I need will never be available.
Tempted to just donate my fullbacks to you as you are actually closer to my original plan than I am.
Pretty much the same midfield trio except that instead of Xabi-Senna I had Sammer pushing into that space and holding the fort in possession.
Funny how those picking midfielders early moaned about it and now those off us who stayed flexible are screwed over not having any chance of getting Redondo, Davids, Nedved, Keane, Scholes, Xavi... 
Washed up Rijkaard suddenly looks like tactical liquid gold.

Nah, I had him as a backup of the backup to Stuttgart's Balakov. Planned to shift him to AM and get Redondo/Davids where he was.
Looks like you will get to run down De Rossi for at least one more round
And worse to get stuck right in the middle!
Hierro @TheReligion
To gamble or not to?
Some things never changePick first, think second?
You have 9 players on your list? I had 2 and picked the first one. Having said that, I’d be annoyed if the next one goes as I’ll have to rethink my whole strategy.Awesome.

I effectively have three left backs bow and it's still my weakest area, ffs.
I meant out of 15teamsx15players = 225 options I had identified 20 before we even drew the first round.
That 20 went down to 9 once I realised T1 and T2 was out of the window. 6 of those 9 have not been released.
So three from the original list, two of them being keepers, so 1 really
Have to revisit the whole thing anyway as I had drafted defence and forwards so that future picks would go towards different midfield setups (3-5-2, 3-4-3, 4-3-3, etc mainly adjusting Sammer's role) but I can't quite pull off any of them any more without the team most likely getting worse.

Although technically if deadlines started 9am he should have until 1pm, right @Physiocrat ?
Edit: Never mind, was thinking 1pm my timezone, well past 1pm there. I'll wait it out a bit, let the guy get his man, whoever that is.

OK, my turn now, I'll make sure I pick within my allocated 4 hours. Not too worried about same target (better not! ) but if we carry on there could be 6 picks before he comes back, which would be a bit shite.

Need to keep this on main page.
Thought so and was never going to last long.
Finally, come to pappa
I had him in the mix to be fair but had fully expected you to pick him.
Nice! Never gets much recognition in draft, so refreshing to see him going in reinforcements. Could have definitely sell him better in hindsight, although you kind of thinking, erm... it is Rooney, don't think he needs much selling. But, he is actually (considering his versatility) very underrated.
Good to see my artist's impression didn't land me Bernd Schneider.
Just in case, this is the original picture

Not that he doesn't have his own Black Prizm card, but he looks a bit old and grumpy with his pubic hair implants in that one
