@Gio in your last post, the time for Greig is missing.. Could you add that back? I know there was issue with tags not working so just calculate from when you saw the post.. I believe it is ~25 minutes
Pre Premier League Draft
- Thread starter Indnyc

Depends on the time zone. He could be waking up with a hangover.
Aye, sorted.

AM, I live in Hong Kong
Ah, thanks then for being up. Appreciate that!
I like Hong Kong. Used to live with a mate in Tsim sa Tsui years before.
I'd have been so out of my depth here. Some names I've never heard of and others I'm looking forward to reading more about.
@Cal?
Was not expecting Cantona to be picked in this draft. He joined Leeds in Feb 92 if I remember correctly? That means he has 3 months of applicable football for this draft.

Good for you, I don’t like HK, not since Emperor Xi came into power
3 months and a league title, better than most players you’d find
Also don’t forget this is ultimately a Man Utd forum
Why? Had great night life, but was too expensive for my tastes back then. Too many Jaguars on the road iirc. I was based in Shanghai and used to be in HK almost twice a month on weekends.Good for you, I don’t like HK, not since Emperor Xi came into power
28 games, right? Too low, but scan voters will lap it up.
Mainly the roll back in human rights. Don’t know if you have followed the story. But the CCP is getting all upset with some HKer suggesting HK independence OUTSIDe Hong Kong.
That’s the point.
Nope, 15 games. He joined us in November 92 and the additional 13 games were in the 92/93 season.
Really? I would never want to win a game unless I had the better team. There’s no satisfaction in tricking the voters.That’s the point.
He played for Leeds after he joined us?
Sorry, bit drunk now. How does that work? Wiki says 28.
15 is correct, instrumental to Leeds’ title
Scan votes. It's part of drafts. Not really tricking. If he can get away, kudos.
Me = result oriented, hence CR7 > LM10
It is really though. Picking a player who barely qualifies for the draft, knowing that scan voters will see the name and vote for him without reading the context.
No, he played 13 matches for Leeds in 1992/93 season before joining us later that same season. Only played 15 matches for Leeds in the draft timeframe.
Not saying it's not. It's been done before and will be done again. Part of drafts actually.
Why does Wiki say 28?
Straight from Wiki. I remember his time at Leeds well. What performances in your eyes made him instrumental?
I’ll leave that for the match threads (meaning I can’t remember and need to look it up)
Because he joined Utd in November 1992 and the 92/93 season started in August 1992. He played 13 times for Leeds between August and November before leaving to join us.
Edit - Easy Mode - 15 games for Leeds in the 91/92 season. 13 games for Leeds in the 92/93 season before joining us three months into the season.
But that's the draft?
Onus on players to pick their teams and voters to think about how to vote. No right or wrong.
So as this draft is only valid up until the end of the 91/92 season, Cantona is being judged on 15 games for Leeds.
If you wish to avoid that , specify minimum criteria. Else, it goes...
You really are drunk

3 closer to my pick....come on...
PM me who you're picking (see if you're going to pick another player I want).
Have PM'd you. Post it in case I'm not therePM me who you're picking (see if you're going to pick another player I want).
..and drink and lying in a gutter somewhere.
Its absolutely trying to trick the voters into not looking further than the names.
Trying to pick someone that played a mere 15 games for Leeds in this entire 20 year time period and then adding that on top of drunk and absent Best with the admitted goal of just trying to get votes based on their names on a Man Utd forum is definitely not in the spirit of the draft IMO.
