Thank you all for your welcome messages.

@Downcast @KirkDuyt

Welcome to the big boys' forum! I hope you enjoy swimming with the sharks here. ;)

Also, how have you two done in the newbie drafts, or is this the first draft you two are involved in?
Sure, we appreciate to see so many people excited by the tournament. We have already participated in 2 newbie drafts.

I'd suggest you ask your doppelganger Invictus about how drafts run in the mains! GK are usually picked 10th or in many cases the last pick of the draft.

Not that we don't like GKs but simply because it's difficult to assess their impact outside of the defensive line.
It certainly is novel. In one of last few drafts someone won a match with a sheep keeper. So I severely am critical of giving importance in these drafts!
I agree with you but I am curious to know the identity of the sheep keepers being part of it.

Koeman, Raul and Stojkovic.

Sorry @Enigma_87 :nervous:
Didn't expect him being blocked.

I've got him on the shortlist but given he was plagued by injuries by the time he was loaned to Verona I scratched him off as it is league peak so it's ok :)

BTW, why is Vierchowod on the list?

No idea when @Joga Bonito shows up again, but I guess he'd agree: We block Michael Laudrup instead of Keane (unless there's some rule that blocks can't be changed like it is with picks, which wouldn't make any sense).

Wait, there was a post by @RedTiger a few seconds ago that he changed his block from Stojkovic to Rui Costa, wasn't there?
