The Rajah Fantasy Football Draft 2016/17

[Beefy]

RIGHT FUCK IT

eBBFleet United pick Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)

1) Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Manchester United)
2) Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)

Bit of a change in strategy from last season

[BBF]

With both MMH and UK Blue playing now the amount of value in the conference is much lower than before.

[BBF]

Andy left a list right?

[Beefy]

Good one

[Torn]

MMH has it

[Torn]

Work calls, I have left a list with BBF and Mikey again

[Andy]

Lots of good picks here, my list has been decimated.

Andy Williams (Doncaster)

[BBF]

Your pick again in a minute Andy don't go anywhere.

[Andy]

I'm here for five.

[BBF]

SEND ME A LIST

[BBF]

Andy has given me a list (1 name) so if Rosk takes that player we are slowed right down for a bit.

[Chris Scott]

You twat UK blue, Hannah was my next pick, he was only name on my list.

[Chris Scott]

Then of course it was Sturridge.

[Beefy]

Good pick Andy. I think Williams is going to have a really good year in League Two.

Rosk is back at 2 apparently

[son_of_foley]

We all expected you go to for Sturridge round 1

[Chris Scott]

Yeah honestly don't know why I didn't.

[Andy]

Good pick Andy. I think Williams is going to have a really good year in League Two.

Rosk is back at 2 apparently

I was going to ask what the consensus was on that pick because I'm way out of my comfort zone. I was surprised he was available at the end of round two given he had a decent season in a shite team and is dropping a league.

[son_of_foley]

Andy you just hover around a bit longer mate incase that list doesn't do you

[The Rosk]

Gonzalo Higuain (Juventus)

[son_of_foley]

YOU SAID ROUND 5

[BBF]

well that's andy's pick gone

[Andy]

Edinson Cavani (Paris Saint-Germain)

[Andy]

How predictable of Rosk to lie about his drafting. That's the reason I left one pick only.

Great pick though and Rosk has engineered himself into a unbeatable position barring multiple injuries.

I was going for Higuain and now gone for Cavani because I don't think there's too many safe euro picks with Griezzman, Suarez and Neymar off the table too.

[son_of_foley]

SOMEBODY GET ALEX

[BBF]

can we take cavani off andy for not getting his name right?

[son_of_foley]

It's what Andy would want

[Beefy]

I've left two names with Rosk. If they're gone I'll be back about 4ish

[son_of_foley]

I am in meetings till probably 4. Will leave a list soon but would much rather make my own sexy pick

[BBF]

Alex won't be here till about half 3 so you should be ok

[RFF Champ]

I'm here.

[RFF Champ]

And listless, still.

[son_of_foley]

DavidUK is browsing. HELLO DAVIDUK. IS KYLE LAFFERTY GOING TO RANGERS?

[RFF Champ]

Scott Hogan - Brentford

[son_of_foley]

Oh no what was meant to be a private message to DavidUK has been exposed to the world. I hope BBF doesn't swoop in and take Kyle Lafferty from me.

[BBF]

eBBFleet United pick Kyle LafferWAIT A MINUTE!!!!!!

eBBFleet United pick Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)

1) Zlatan Ibrahimovic (Manchester United)
2) Daniel Sturridge (Liverpool)
3) Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)

[son_of_foley]

Ricky Miller (Dover)

[son_of_foley]

Chris Scott picks Kolo Toure (Celtic)

[son_of_foley]

I mean I'm guessing like

[BBF]

What wonderful Kyle Lafferty relating timing, sof!

[MMH]

Bare with me I am offering a trade

[Reech]

MMH, probably worth waiting for Chris Scott's actual pick rather than SOF's pretend one for him.

Unless he really did want KOLO.

[MMH]

Its Chris Scott, I expect nothing to change!

Im still working on a trade regardless. Gives me more time to thrash one out.

[Beefy]

I've landed so I'll do my pick.

[Chris Scott]

Hold on.

[Chris Scott]

What's the score with euro players who can't I pick?

[Reech]

No La Liga, Lewa or Higuin.

[BBF]

Or Cavani.

[Reech]

I took it off Andy as he didn't spell it right the first time.

[Chris Scott]

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund)

[The Rosk]

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (Borussia Dortmund)

Sometimes you can't be helped.

[Beefy]

Chris seriously?!

[Beefy]

That's Simon Yeo stupid

[Mik]

Any chance of getting the first page lists updated boyos? I want to see if I've got anyone whatsoever left of my list.

[Chris Scott]

My bad forgot about the euro player rules then.

[The Rosk]

What Euro player rules? What are you on about? You've taken a legit pick, far earlier than you needed to.

[The Rosk]

Any chance of getting the first page lists updated boyos? I want to see if I've got anyone whatsoever left of my list.

Feel free to do it yourself as a moderator.

[The Rosk]

FYI MMH and I have agreed a trade of draft picks. I am giving MMH my 4th and 5th picks (80,81) for his 3rd and 7th (47,127).

I pick:
Blair Henderson (Stirling)

[Chris Scott]

What Euro player rules? What are you on about? You've taken a legit pick, far earlier than you needed to.

Doesn't matter now.

[Mik]

Feel free to do it yourself as a moderator.

Oh yeah.

[Beefy]

Need confirmation on that trade from MMH then I'll pick

[Mik]

I've updated the first post and pencilled Rosk's trade in.

[BBF]

I've updated the first post and pencilled Rosk's trade in.

Thanks, mate :yes:

[Andy]

Henderson was next on my list. Wanker. That's me away. MMH can continue picking from my list.

[The Rosk]

I will see you all in about four days. If anyone wants to leave their lists with me I am missing the next 70 picks so they are safe.

[Beefy]

Henderson was next on my list. Wanker. That's me away. MMH can continue picking from my list.

Henderson was the name I gave to The Rosk to pick for me before he traded right in front of me to get him

[son_of_foley]

Why are we making fun of Chris's pick? I thought it was good

[son_of_foley]

Also if I don't draft a Euro player now can I pick one at a later date? Like when their leagues have started

[The Rosk]

Why are we making fun of Chris's pick? I thought it was good

Because he could have waited to Round 4 to pick it given the order of the draft.

[son_of_foley]

Except Hurley could have taken him?

[The Rosk]

SOF time for you to leave the thread mate nobody wants to hear your shit anymore

[Mik]

Anyone leaving their lists with Rosk is a madman.

[son_of_foley]

I gave my list to Rosk and he's been a gentleman.

It's such a shame that Anthony Beefy MuttonHead was so quick to make fun of Chris Scott whilst being wrong. I am disgusted.

[MMH]

I confirm the trade with The Rosk.

Beefy sorry I didnt get back to you I was driving home. I had already gave me word to Rosk that I would do the trade so wouldnt have went back on it.

If its any consolation its a shit pick.

[son_of_foley]

MMH can you infract Beefy for his victimisation of young Chris Scott, who may or may not be in a wheelchair.

[MMH]

MMH can you infract Beefy for his victimisation of young Chris Scott, who may or may not be in a wheelchair.

He probably deserves it to be fair. I resent the fact that he got Europe and I didnt last season so he is fair game to me.

[The Rosk]

I confirm the trade with The Rosk.

Beefy sorry I didnt get back to you I was driving home. I had already gave me word to Rosk that I would do the trade so wouldnt have went back on it.

If its any consolation its a shit pick.

Blair Henderson knows how to win RFF titles.

[son_of_foley]

He probably deserves it to be fair. I resent the fact that he got Europe and I didnt last season so he is fair game to me.

This is worse than that time your took Adam Boyes from me and he turned out to be complete shit

[son_of_foley]

Hurry the fuck up Beefy. Nobody has time for your old man shit

[Beefy]

I'll take the guy who I almost picked in the first round and almost kept. Leon Clarke (Sheffield United)

1. Britt Assombalonga (Nottingham Forest)
2. Nicky Ajose (Charlton Athletic)
3. Leon Clarke (Sheffield United)

[MMH]

I'll take the guy who I almost picked in the first round and almost kept. Leon Clarke (Sheffield United)

I think that has worked out better for you.

[MMH]

Oh and for anyone wondering why I would trade down in the draft….

I dont see much value at this point of the draft. I have three tiers when drafting 1-3, 4-7 and sleeper picks. All of my 1-3’s have been taken and I think the draft will open up around round 4-5 where I will have picks very close to each other.

It also lets me take in some more friendlies this weekend to see how teams are lining up etc.

It’s risky obviously as what happens if I have judged wrongly and all the ones in the 4-7 part of my list go early?

[BBF]

I've got a list for Reech but I think he's about. let me check

[Reech]

Paddy Madden (Scunthorpe)

[The Rosk]

I think that has worked out better for you.

Could be right. I spoke to Beef about it and I said Clarke could well score at least as many, but I have a fondness for Blair after finding him last season. You know how it is. Also he scored 3 in 2 already so not the worst start.

[BBF]

I've got a list for torn too

[Gary J]

Tomer Hemed (Brighton)

[BBF]

torn picks Steven Fletcher (Sheff wed)

[son_of_foley]

When did Torn have his brain impacting accident? I forgot to send flowers xx

[The Rosk]

Matthew picks anyone?

[Matthew]

hi i am here, few moments please

[Matthew]

Sam Winnall - Barnsley

[Mikey_Jones]

Danny Johnson (Gateshead)

[Beefy]

Could be right. I spoke to Beef about it and I said Clarke could well score at least as many, but I have a fondness for Blair after finding him last season. You know how it is. Also he scored 3 in 2 already so not the worst start.

He has 4 in 4 including a hattrick. Each goal will be a dagger through the heart and a reminder to not be so trusting

[The Rosk]

RIP picks Kemar Roofe (Leeds)
SheltonLondon picks Joe Dodoo (Rangers)

[Canuck]

Should be 2 names left on my list , Rosk? Can you just make the first pick for me.

[The Rosk]

Sure mate

[son_of_foley]

Tbm is up next

[The Beer Monster]

I'm on a staff day out, I'm not even sorry.

[son_of_foley]

So are you skipping your go?

[The Beer Monster]

Nope, it will be in a little bit.

[son_of_foley]

Fair enough.

[Canuck]

Sure mate

I am back again. I have company due shortly though so feel free to speed this along if I don't post immediately.

TBM is in poor form. No list on a staff day out. He is sure to take my next pick now.

[Canuck]

Just Sof and Alex left for their Euro pick?

[son_of_foley]

Hurley who you banging?

[Mikey_Jones]

Bit personal

[Canuck]

Hurley who you banging?

Euro? Or domestic? Or are you interested?

[son_of_foley]

The fact you said company made me think it was a sex visitor and I was wondering if Jamstar had finally made his move

[Canuck]

Haven't needed any strange in a while.

Jamstar doesn't waste time.

[The Rosk]

Sorry for inviting TBM everyone.

[The Beer Monster]

I'm on my way home, to my list.

[Reech]

#bringbackconnorboy

[The Beer Monster]

Harsh.

[Torn]

When did Torn have his brain impacting accident? I forgot to send flowers xx

Whats wrong with Fletcher?? He was on my first round list! Devastated Alex took Hogan.

[son_of_foley]

Nothing really just I think they're flooding that Squad and will end up rotating a lot

[Reech]

Forestieri is the only one I have faith will score regularly for us.

[The Beer Monster]

Lyle Taylor (AFC Wimbeldon)

[The Rosk]

Hurley picks Diego Costa (Chelsea)

[The Beer Monster]

I will have my list on me from now on.

[Torn]

Hogan ughhhhhh Alex

[Torn]

Nothing really just I think they're flooding that Squad and will end up rotating a lot

He'll start the season as first choice and get supplied well. Confident mate.

[Grimario]

Come on Mik and UK Blue. I'm about to go watch a future international football star play in her weekly under 8's game. Hurry up

[Grimario]

Joe Dodoo (Rangers)

Is his cousin Jack Shit?

[The Rosk]

James Constable (Eastleigh)

[The Rosk]

[UK Blue]

Grant Holt (Hibs)

[Mik]

Matthew Green (Mansfield)

[Torn]

Enjoying UK Blue going for the old favourites. Grant Holt of course!!

Matt Green is great value

[UK Blue]

Welcome to the UK Blue comeback tour, featuring old favourites such as Grant Holt.

[The Beer Monster]

What's the deal with picking someone who then gets transferred?

[Torn]

What do you mean? If they get transferred out to an ineligible league then they are ineligible and you should drop them.

[Canuck]

Jack Marriott (Luton)

[son_of_foley]

Can everyone stop taking players I want

[The Beer Monster]

Riyad Mahrez (Leicester)

[Torn]

Wow you took sof's request very seriously

[RFF Champ]

If I'd researched Scotland then I'd have picked Joe Dodoo first round. That kid is goals.

[RFF Champ]

Beebs, I'd appreciate the prompt when it's my go please. This draft normally goes stone cold at weekends.

[son_of_foley]

Shelton is here bosh!

[SheltonLondon]

Ayoze Perez (Newcastle)

Left a few names with Rosk for today.

[Matthew]

cmon im awake for a little bit more

[UK Blue]

Wow you took sof's request very seriously

haha!

[son_of_foley]

Have we got lists for rip and Matthew?

[SheltonLondon]

Rosk would have Rip's I'd imagine but guessing he's not about yet. Don't know about Matthew

[BBF]

Beebs, I'd appreciate the prompt when it's my go please. This draft normally goes stone cold at weekends.

As long as I'm about mate. Both Beef and Torn have my number so they'll give me a push when its my go and i can let you know you are coming up too.

[Reech]

Are we all expecting Newcastle to batter that league? That's 4 of their players now.

[The Rosk]

RIP picks Daryl Murphy (Ipswich)

[SheltonLondon]

Yeah I'd say so, Benitez at the helm and made some really good signings. Guess it's just a case of working out who's going to be playing up top for them regularly though!


Are we all expecting Newcastle to batter that league? That's 4 of their players now.

[The Rosk]

Matthew drop your pick with me if you're about to drop off

[Matthew]

i have it locked away with someone but thanks

[RFF Champ]

Mikey wanted Sanchez.

[Torn]

Texted Mikey he's now awake

[son_of_foley]

Are we all expecting Newcastle to batter that league? That's 4 of their players now.

They should do pretty well. I think Perez will be sold before 1st September personally

[Mikey_Jones]

Sorry for the wait

Billy Kee (Accrington Stanley)

[Matthew]

Callum Wilson - Bournemouth

[son_of_foley]

I should hopefully be around for my pick. If not I'll send an updated list to Rosk

[son_of_foley]

Callum Wilson - Bournemouth

Like this pic. Think he'll have a big season

[The Rosk]

Torn's go - IhaveGary's ready.

We can smash through this if people leave lists with me. I am trustworthy. Don't believe Beefy.

[Matthew]

torn was just here. i feel comfortable that i can sleep and it wont be my turn

[Torn]

Jonathan Kodjia (Bristol City)

[Torn]

Decided between three who aren't going to be there when it comes back to me... Tough

[The Rosk]

Gary wants Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

[Reech]

Anyone got Gary's pick?

[Reech]

Simon Cox (Southend)

[Rip]

They should do pretty well. I think Perez will be sold before 1st September personally

He's off to Spain, deal expected this week unless Rafa can change his mind.

Good pick if he stays as he's been playing well and scoring preseason.

[BBF]

Just four picks until I get the man I wanted again. I'm starting to think I might be overrating these players...

[Beefy]

Would people stop taking my picks straight before my go

[son_of_foley]

Can someone edit the first page to include my round 8 pick. Thanks xx

[Torn]

I'm having instant draft regret over not picking Cox

But don't worry Kodjia I still believe in you mate

[Beefy]

James Norwood (Tranmere)

[The Rosk]

46 picks to go until my next pick, and 29 names on my revised list. We can do this you Ounty boys.

We can do 50 picks today lads. I believe in you.

[son_of_foley]

Kodjia is a big pick me surprised he lasted so long. Transfer rumours may have put people off but assuming it was us or Norwich I still think he would score

[son_of_foley]

Rosk I keep changing my mind over the order of my list so may make the pick myself. If I'm not about like 15/20 minutes after its my turn go with what's there

[MMH]

I'm here, just need to catch up on who has gone.

[MMH]

Jabo Ibhere (Carlisle United)

[Reech]

I'm out for the day with Baby Reech and Mrs. Reech. Get Beeb's to poke me when it's my turn.

[Mik]

First post all up to date now.

[BBF]

I'm before Alex btw

[son_of_foley]

[son_of_foley]

Rudy Gestede (Aston Villa)

[BBF]

Matt Rhead (Lincoln)

almost kept him so delighted to grab him in round 4

[The Rosk]

I tell you what SOF, it's a bloody good job you sent me those eight PMs with lists whilst concerned about spending time with your wife and kid today. I don't know what we would do.

[The Rosk]

Oh fuck. Do we have that twat Andy's lists?

[son_of_foley]

He's probably fine mate he's out back or something I dunno he's 1 year old now he's his own man

[son_of_foley]

Listen dickhead is ayew going or not?

[Beefy]

Can someone text me when I'm up please? Thanks

[The Rosk]

Yes, probably to France. I would have signed him if not - Mik has already asked me

[MMH]

I have a list for Andy, he sent me it a while back though so Dont know if I should still use it?

[The Rosk]

Yes you should. He's a fucking cunt.

[BBF]

[MMH]

Dont bring up Andys name if its not his pick!

[Andy]

[The Rosk]

That's the last time I show MMH my list.

[UK Blue]

Seeing as Andy is here ill give him 10 mins to make his own pick....

Crock

[son_of_foley]

Sorry about the delay there. Have a sick young man in the house

[son_of_foley]

Crock

Yeah I'm guessing that's why he's available at this stage. He seemed to love playing under their new boss so fingers crossed they're telling the truth and he's maybe even back next week

[Grimario]

Send Rosk a small list. :wave::zzz:

1) Olivier Giroud (Arsenal)
2) Padraig Amond (Hartlepool)
3) Tomer Hemed (Brighton)
4) Eden Hazard (Chelsea)

EDIT - Took my turn early because since Topping doesn't play anymore someone has to try cheating.

[Reech]

Wasn't it my go Gary?

[Gary J]

Seems it was I just got a message on twitter telling me I was up so may have jumped the gun sorry lads.

[UK Blue]

[Mikey_Jones]

There's a couple of duplicates on the Master Player List on the spreadsheet:

Craig Gunn (Elgin) and Craig Gunn (Elgin City)
Leon Clarke (Bury) and Leon Clarke (Sheffield United)

Not sure if that will massively affect things though. Apart from that, the spreadsheet is up to date

[The Rosk]

19 left on my revised list and 24 picks to go.

Beer Monster you were JUST HERE you Fffffffffff

[son_of_foley]

Hurley here as well so assuming we still have names from grim might get somewhere soon

[The Beer Monster]

Abel Hernandez (Hull)

I've lost track of who's gone, think he's alright to pick?

[The Beer Monster]

I delayed a family photo for that pick. I'm in trouble.

[The Rosk]

Everyone on Hurley's list has gone. I also only have one remaining on Grim's.
