If you think like that yes
Should I have picked Zola instead of Drogba
Who even was the arsenal goalkeeper before him
tht is a good pick ngl
Zola over Drogba?
i think leno b4 raya
drogba i think wins with recency bias?
nvm it was ramsdale
I was partially right he joined on loan from brentford in 2023
Fr
Updated list
It was Aaron Ramsdale
Uh, Drogba
I made the right choice
ye
the real ones rembr Klinsmann
biggest ever transfer for prem imo making it the first big money signing and it also made prem teams buy more foreign superstars
Oh yeah
did he play in prem? no
Ye
Yeah
Rooney?
Hes taken but yes
Striker ir CAM?
Well there is one now, just realised Mahrez got taken
ye thts what i thought lol
Yeah
Leicester has a goat tbf
there is a good defender on leciseter tbf
We don't mention his Villa stint
Maguire
oh ye maguire was leicester omds i almost forgot
Make it 2
You even know the guy in referring to?
Had a Liverpool stint as well
No
wait is it the left back?
Its way before the title winning team
no i meant was the player a left back
hmm i may not know ig
No
You'll be mad if I tell you
ahh ig i dont rembr then
Check dms
ye u were right π

@slate fox you have 2 United players, please change Schmeichel or Stam
I'll make him change dw

@elfin mason 5hour
@stuck field go 12 hours
@elfin mason
@elfin mason Denis Irwin is taken
Mb
3 hours 30 mins ish @granite hedge
Fixed now
I didn't notice he was still available lol
@granite hedge 7 mins
lol
Shi
@deep ocean can you @ me from know on cuz I'm only getting notified when you do it
sure
isn't white's pings working?
@deep ocean
it should be working from white
weird lmao
@fierce minnow 12 hour
he shld be ranked high
He should
First ever winner of pfa, one of two defenders to win it, 2nd place in the league, av's best ever player in the new prem
Ha u right and i still hv alot of man utd players at my disposal
ππ
I see like 6 or 7

Tbh my draft will depend sho is left on man u
Jack Grealish will be my star captain
Jk ...
Nah...top 3 CB with Rio and Terry 
Liverpool people about to say what about vvd
But let's be real about the strikers vvd faces
Haaland sure
But then there's loads of your Watkins, seskos, hojlund, Nicolas jackson etc which aren't exactly that tough to face lol
Vidic had to deal with Suarez, drogba, aguero etc
and mcgrath had to deal with shearer
Won more PFA too
And titles
So I don't understand how Liverpool fans can argue that vvd > vidic
Tbh I am not worried about man U players
No goal conceded
Vidic goes flying into them π
Made anfield a fortified stadium
Hopefully mcgrath is within the top 10
Hmm
then my plan wld be a success
I am thinking of players in general but they were injury prone
Very very
Does that effect anything
@maiden crystal 6 hours
I've already made my choice, next.
@split pollen 12 hours
South African player
Yes
I think he was had alot.of goals one season in prem
I was looking at the top scorers each season
done
@keen lotus
ur next
I just know I pissed off a lot of people with that pick
Ye
I keep seeing a persin typing in the draft channel but not sending a message lol
Dm.tbh
That is the reason why he's so bad at it
Why need to mark your man when you're covered by VVD?
Clarse pick
Sigh
City top scorer for 10 straight seasons and highest 100+ game goal ratio
My striker going to stink
Oml I was thinking Bernie or Nip would take him
not my choice for City, only going with 1 ST
but yh he was the best striker remaining by far
Billy Meredithπ΄σ §σ ’σ ·σ ¬σ ³σ Ώ π
There was a dude who relegated man U
Forgot his name
Former man u player
Denis Law
Nasty backheel
1-0 goal
@deep ocean go
24 mins left btw
Gareth Barry
NOOOOOOO
@keen lotus 12 hours
Sadly had to be done
Good pick
I had like 5 players in mind that won't comeback to me
Probably
My hope is 3 others will reach me
No, bad pick
For u
π
Proof
Maybe next time
Now I wanna quit the draft
Don't
Top cdms left
That can go above him
Probably best cdm out of big 6 in the draft
Maybe I missed players or some
The draft is brutal
I mean I can still make my team idea work but, I had a plan π
It's Goater
It's even in his name
Exactly
His peak was more first division yeah?
Does being injuries prone matter?
Huh
Wait when does the prem start
1992/93
U can change b4 Bernie picks tbf
Oh yeah thought he had picked
Bernie please take an extra 15 minutes π
Changed to Ledley king
Injury prone
Still had an insane career
Like 30% of the time
The rest was spent in the treatment room
False 9?
@verbal parcel 13mins
@maiden crystal 12 hours
You can play any formation if you can provide valid evidence it was being used in real life.
Should've taken Dixie dean 
Ah shoot
Would've been a good idea yk
Jose with Chelsea twice π
Technically he is gonna put cech on chelsea salah on Liverpool and Saux on Blackburn probably
Ngl I wanted Cahill
So many united smh
I'm not letting you take 2 of my picks
I've already made my choice, next.
@fierce minnow 12 hours
@slate fox Fernando Hierro didn't play for QPR, he was with Bolton
I was blind no π
Ur forgetting his 2nd stint counts, that and he was initially a LB
What was i thinking
Who's turn rn
@granite hedge
Both are taken
π
Two Harry Kane ?????
he will change it later
Ok
Both are not even gonna be Chelsea after my final pick
But whatever
ngl I am upset Cahill got picked
more disappointed oof
Do prem titles matter?
or how higher they were place in the prem table when they were there
or if they were key players on the team?
Probably that
G/A?
But maybe @soft bloom will think differently
I mean it all matters and personal awards/ good stats all matter
But mainly its about how important they are for the team/ how much the contributed to that team throughout their career
@deep ocean here
alright
so mark noble important 
For West Ham yes
no that was my city pick π
Lol
Yes?
yes maybe
Ive picked toure and trippier
@slate fox
I didnt really check if trippier was taken so if he is I apologize and Ill change it
@elfin mason
Pretty sure Xherdan Shaqiri was a RW at Stoke
@elfin mason less than 4 hours
@elfin mason 2 hrs and 29 mins
I've already told him
Hopefully he'll change it soon
hm
@granite hedge 4h
He already has a strike for missing his pick, he has 2 hours to pick, if he fails, he's out
@granite hedge less than 1 hour
<@&1206185225609150484> 1ST PLAYER ELIMINATED
@granite hedge failed to make his picks on 2 occasions and these players are unavailable
Cm Kevin de bruyne ( man city ) 1st pick
LW eden hazard ( Chelsea ) 2nd pick
St Wayne Rooney ( man united ) 3rd pick
sigh
It's also right for the player to make the Harry Kane swap, because I think it's unfair for him to only make the swap afterwards.
Needed kdb or toure hence the switch to wingers to take sterling xD
@fierce minnow 12 hour
Wow Sterling can play RW
He did for a while
sterling was class untill he fell off..
Yep
Smh
U shld hv picked scott sterling
Fr
I've already made my choice, next.
@split pollen its ur turn
Hi bro pls ping the next person aft ur turn
If u've been pinged by nipun, ping me after u r done
If u've been pinged by me, ping nipun after u r done
Yaa i dun rly need him
@verbal parcel 12 hours
Ok

pls dun reveal my next pick like that
Thomas Kuszczak better
Has anyone won with 3 atb before?
Yes
I did with 3-5-2 iirc
all for the 3 2 4 1 formation do I have to have 2 dms and 2 ams or can I have a CM CDM 2 CAM
or 2 CDM 1 CM 1 AM
I thought it was a 3-4-2-1
I played a 5-3-2 bef my glorious haramball
@split pollen
Oh, it was 3421?
Well probably it is.
I'm not sure whether to allow it in the first place
Transfermarkt say it was a 4-2-3-1
So idk
Cause it was the 1 player per month + manager
Oh, I thought it was the budget draft when I used 352 after spending 2/3 of my budget in first 2 picks.
3241 used by Pep was 2 dm and 2 am.
@verbal parcel about 3h 20min
My tΓ‘tic is 4-1-2-3
@keen lotus
Ig i can't do it
Lampard not being a cam is a bummer
How about 3 4 3 wingers instead of cams
But the 2 CMs are fullbacks for some reason
Why is it called 3 3 3 1 when it has 2 wingbacks 3 CBs 2 CMs 2 wingers
Should be 5 2 2 1
Nvm
5 1 3 1
@waxen moss @split pollen
3331?
π€·π½ββοΈ
π
Is this Ajax?
94/95 CL SF
1sl leg or 2nd
the one where we were demolished
Ok, doesn't answer my question
pretty sure they played it in both legs, all season
3:1 leg 1
2:1 leg 2
Aggregate 5:2...Ajax Vs bayern
No?
first leg was a draw
it's the most legendary UCL game of the 90s only after Milan 4-0 Barca ffs
and 1999 final obviously
the funniest thing about this is that neither were in their prime
The final was Rijkaard's last professional game of football and Seedorf was still a teenager
You're right both had their prime in Milan trust
@keen lotus 3 hours
finally found the ratings damn
good pick
tho id say better tottenham player is someone else tho he had tons of injuries π€
oh that guy...
eriksen still good
true
Your turn
@deep ocean you have one 1 hour
I saw you typing
mcgrath picked

Although I'm still quite happy with who I'm picking at RM
I still have some
@stuck field 12 hour
First it's @deep ocean with Gareth Barry, now @keen lotus with Gareth Southgate?

@elfin mason 7 hours

@ruby quartz 6 hour
@ruby quartz 3 hours
Colin Hendry is taken
@slate fox 12 hours
@elfin mason
He's taken
@fierce minnow 12 hour
@split pollen GO GO
was gonna be my newcastle pick if i didnt get schmeichel
I am pretty safe for 2 of my next 3 picks
And another one of my picks I doubt will go
ye same
Shay taken π€£
.
U just understood it didn't you?
ye i checked lmao
Surprised @fervent thistle preferred Nigel Martyn over Shay Given ngl
Or Shay Taken if you're @fierce minnow

Lol, but I'm in a really good spot now
Wanted Hendry CB so shearer for Newcastle
Shay given
2 toty
349 appearance
468 GC (1.3409) per game
91 CS (26.0744%)
Nigel Martyn
2 toty
2 most cs
207 appearance
209 GC (1.0096) per game
84 CS (40.5797 %)
That cd rate seems kinda high for a gk xD
Over waay more games and worse defences
Schmeichel
252 appearance
212 GC (0.8412) per game
Cs 113 ( 44.841 %)
Martyn closer to schmeichel than given to Martyn based on these π
leicster bad team 
and schmeichel was still good despite tht
and beter cs is always good :)
I'll try to change it today
@verbal parcel 2 hours
How about Flowers?
2 Toty
1 league title
177 appearance
189 GC (1.06779) per game
64 cs (36.15818%)
Just has the league title over Nigel Martyn which is a team award basically lol
Just found out Keown not rated highly...
2 toty
Back to back
Similar cs ratio
@stuck field You have 2 CBs?
I mean like planned
Yeah
ye
When it's your turn
thts why i have left it blank in my formation so i hv a mental note ig
With how things are rn, no one can take 2 of my 3 picks
Yeah fairs
And a RW
For RW?
I'm not using wingers so
ye
There's still a really good LW, but like
Is he top 1?
Lw?
Doesn't quite have enough for RW
And ST yes
I have a ST who played Rw
Also, who'd replace Keown?
1990s CB for Man U
There's like 2 of them
Then what about the Arsenal pick?
LW
Ok
Maybe CAM
Tbf, I'm not using wingers
But you have Lampard?
CM
And he's a CM
Ye
You need 2 DMs and 2 AMs
Eriksen can shift to CM
Does he have enough games?
3 1 2 1 3
Man u flop too 
PiresM
As per usual
This one I prefer ngl lol
He's referring to someone else
For arsenal
I am as well tbf
Alexis
Ya
Hmm
Well top 10 easy ones are
Rio , vidic, vvd,Terry,kompany, stam, Adams,
Then pallister,Bruce,carvalho etc too
Radebe should be in there
Campbell should probs be in tbh lol
Maybe for stam cuz wasn't there lomg
Keown was there for like 10 years?
3 prem 3 years
this many games good for being rw position for zaha btw?
2 at psv
3 at man U
3 at Lazio
3 at milan
Ye Zaha looks like he can play LW RW or Striker\
He was so good till the end
oh good
Rw I'd say yeah
Hmm or maybe not idk
I would prob say yeah for rw or lw only
@split pollen
ye i jst need zaha to be rw
It's like 30%?
Yeah hes fine for both
1/3
all across the frontline is fine

No he can play ST
imo Keown is top 7 CB
Better than Sol at arsenal
I will keep Keown
btw
Bruce and Stam will not be included in the draft
59 minutes left to pick
CF can play CAM?
Yes
said yes before
I saw it as CM first
here
Also, you didn't pick within the hour
@fair lintel 12 hours
Crap you do as well
Ok
@fair lintel 7 hours 9 minutes
@fair lintel 3 hours
@fair lintel 30 min
Who did you pick?
Haaland
Isn't Walker Man City?
Did someone pic)m
Ok I'll change
I think Walker might be 1st for RB so I don't want to change him
I got mahrez
π₯
6 hours @keen lotus
@verbal parcel go
This Jose guy tried to be quirky and different every draft bro
AMR: Egyptian Kingπͺπ¬(Liverpool) [1st pick]
DMR: Kyle Walker(
):[2nd pick]
GK:Big Peteπ¨πΏπ§€(Chelsea) [3rd pick]
DML:Graeme Le Sauce (Blackburn) [4th pick]

DC:Kolo Toure(Arsenal) [6th pick]
DC:Toby Alderweireld(Spurs) [7th pick]

Using SM positions
Yep

70 games 75 G/Aπ
Whos turn is it?
π
Cause my 9th pick is better
@maiden crystal 12 hours
Over 100 g/a in 3 seasons π
that's like 80ish
π
π
Look, Spurs is with me ok (jk)
That's why
Still
82 g/a in 3 seasons
Pretty sure Haaland and Cole are the only two players with 1.00+ G/A per game in their stint
longevity tax obvs
Yes
I pick the captain, the warrior the anchor of the 94/95 blackburn team
@fervent thistle go
and now im left wif the 2 biggest clubs in england
What is PE?
LW or RW
who you picking from Man U?
No draft without Jose different
Its been banned to troll but ok
It's prob not the trolling I'm doing
All your drafts look dead and colourless
Well yeah but
Except the laugh emoji on @keen lotus draft
We only do that if we need to for certain themes
Not a cam or st so relax
My rob stan lee?
CM?
idk i havent decided yet
Could choose a CB or GK as well
I also HATE Tim Sherwood
The GOAT
Whatt why
Wayne.
Bruce Wayne.
He was responsible for Villas relegation
Could take Tyler Blackett
oh right i forgot bout that
Drafts have become harder π
And quite a few of us
mmm i think ik who u referring to, but he played most of his career bef 1992 in man utd
Yep.
I mentioned him because he's irrelevant.
@stuck field 12 hour
@elfin mason took Sami HyypiΓ€
You have 2 7th round picks 
idk wut u mean
You changed it now
nah i hv no clue wut u mean
Sure π
dang it was my next pick
hence why i took smaller peeps first
so my team looks decent now
and i hv arsenal and chelsea picks left
Pls delete this
Sonny
I have the 2 North London clubs
2 sonnys
@ruby quartz 4.5 hours
Uhh, @waxen moss can you judge this draft? @soft bloom just informed me that for him, it'll be tough
Ofc you take a Villa player π
Remember, his second stint at Villa counts as well
π
oh no π π
You need to change that
Wes Brown?
Morgan
Hes available
Not anymore already took himπ
Tbf, for like a ton of rounds, my last 2 picks couldn't be taken
Adam Wharton can only be a CM or CDM
So please make him a CM/CDM or choose someone else @slate fox
I don't think I can do it, sorry.
Kinda hectic with rl stuffs since it's nearing December.
@slate fox pls change son as well i hv him since pick 2
@slate fox change Son as well
@split pollen spurs got hacked i think lol
He's been like that for months
i was goign thru dms on my old account and saw him dm lol
Lol
Well we can still have them
Just that it'll be continue his legacy
Not the point of the whole thing but ok
Forgot to mention @stuck field You have 2 minutes to pick
He pinged you here
The 1 hour timer
@stuck field Strike 1
@fervent thistle 12 hours
Took Alexis sanchez
I agree π
How he has a music platform idk man π
True...err i mean rappers js do their own stuff and get recognition ig
Pretty sure he's a YouTuber originally
@split pollen go
But de gea tho ooh:
2nd most clean sheets at a club level
5x pfa poty
4x man utd poty
2 golden gloves
Carried man utd wif 2021 maguire and phil bloody jones
Survived moyes, van gaal, jose, ole and ten hag
He could save the fing titanic
Well he didn't technically survive ten hag since he was let go while in ten hag era
he still won a golden glove there
tru ye
Its DDG
If you don't understand the hate, you're part of the problem buddy
Oh just searched up what he did π
I only see his music pop up in some places didn't know he was a piece of garbage
What he did?
@fair lintel why is ur RW Tutankhamen
Google it 
The keyword?
What did DDG do to Halle Bailey
Oh, apparently not david de gea?
No idea who those 2 people are.
It's not David De Gea
Yeah just searched it.
Still no idea who those 2 are.
It's something for the kids of our age
Not really for the old timers
Yea most of the new "artist" are unbearable to watch for us.
And we kinda like, why these guys even famous, they can't even sing properly or play music.
I feel like that now as well, which is ironic considering our age gap but like, new "music" just doesn't excite me anymore so
@verbal parcel less than 9 hours
next
@keen lotus 12 hours
The updated list btw
raul still avaliable
Yessir
Fr
same
Are u serious rn?
Yes
I had no idea Tutankhamen was alive and at Liverpool
What's Salah's nickname?
<@&1206185225609150484> NEW RULE
Starting right now, NO NICKNAMES!!
I am tired to having other people confused and having to ask others who people are referring to. So whoever has given initials, nicknames, short names, you must use the name they are recognised by (i.e. Pele must be called Pele ONLY!, Mohamed Salah is called Mohamed Salah, Trent Alexander-Arnold is called Trent Alexander-Arnold, etc) Please everyone change whatever nicknames you currently have ASAP!!!
Now bad must your ball knowledge be to not know Salah's nickname is Egyptian King
But ok I'll change it
I was just taking the piss
But the whole nickname thing was pissing me off
So I must even change Lakaka?
Yeah
Btw who is Lakaka?
We all know it's Romelu Lukaku
But still change it
I'm tired of seeing nicknames
There you go
No confusion
@verbal parcel sorry I got nicknames bannedπ
Like how does one not know Salah is nicknamed Egyptian King
Ik but, there are loads of Egyptian kings
Just learn some ancient history
In football?
"Just have ball knowledge" brutal
^^
Nipun
I thought about it
And thought again
And again
And I thought why learn other people's culture if it don't give a fu## about you?
Well it's part of the history of humans and societies
Β―_(γ)_/Β―
Tutamhamen wouldn't be a name Nip would randomly say tho
π«±π½βπ«²π» you get it
tbh I just want this draft to end
Pele is a nickname btw π
True, Brazilians like him, Hulk and others get a pass
might change barry
Mainly just names they had on back of their shirt lol
Well, @slate fox needs to change him for sure
That's what I meant
He started as a winger
huh
Lemme double check if he played enough though
He has enough games to be a LW
Picking Ramses II as my LCB

Giovanni van Bronchost used to have "Gio" in his shirt 
You get what I mean
GK: Titanic Saver (Man Utd) (10th)
LB: Nigel Springfreeze(Arsenal) (3rd pick)
CB: Paul Mcdonalds (Aston Villa) (4th pick)
CB: Daniel Ricciardo Carvajal (Chelsea)(6th pick)
RB: Kelly is actually a guys name (Leeds) (8th pick)
CM: Stan Lee (Newcastle) (5th pick)
CM: Solo Shermetal (Blackburn) (9th pick)
LW: Father Heung Min (Spurs) (2nd pick)
RW: Bernado Goldan (Man City) (7th pick)
ST: Miraclester's first and last hope(Leicester) (1st pick)
For the record
i shld probably do this for future drafts...nicknames xi
Yeah, their names, not their moniker
Onana?
No idea the next 2
Carvajal played for Chelsea?
No idea the next 3
Son is known
Silva ig
No idea that last one
"Onana Titanic saver"
Without Onana in goalpost, you might have been relegated.
And without onana in the goalpost, we might hv advanced in the 23/24 ucl
Onana π€£π€£ that one aint titanic saver, that one is titanic sinker
Springfreeze winterburn get it??
Mcgrath mcdonalds see?
Carvalho sounds like carvajal
I have never seen a kelly wif a guy's name, my marvel, and metal wood
Vardy won em the title, and leicetser are now midtable in the championship without him
summer is the opposite of winter, not spring
oh i was thinking the next season aft winter but aight
