Cambridge are going to assault the conference next season I reckon.
Jamie Cureton - Cheltenham Town
Re-signs from last season when he got 21.
Rip just PM'd me his list.
His pick is Jamie Cureton (Cheltenham)
I just said that
Bastard, I'll sort your next one for you. Go enjoy the sun mate
Cheers, bought the kids an 8' paddling pool yesterday, I'm guessing it'll take the rest of the day to fill.
Who wants a list from me?
send it my way if you want mate. i've got a couple already
Sent BBF a few names from Alex's list as I'm heading out now. I will appear for my picks though.
I'm around if anyone ever wants to send lists.
As am I. Until Thursday anyhow.
Adam Le Fondre was high up on my list until I started reading loads of people saying Adkins doesn't fancy him.
MMH can you scrap the list I sent you. Only has one name left anyway. I'm gonna make a new one.
Right, do I just put down who I want as my first draft pick then?
Only ask as this list swapping talk has my head in a spinner, especially after watching the morning's cricket.
Yeah, you have two draft picks on the run so name two players you want.
The list swapping is just people PMing draft lists to other people if they may not be around when their pick comes.
You have two picks, you can make them both in the same post.
Thanks lads.
1. Will Grigg (Brentford)
2. Chris Wood (Leicester)
Sheltonlondon has Chris Wood. He was his 'keeper' pick from his squad from last season so you'll need to pick again.
Will Grigg is a great pick though.
Aye, good shout with Grigg
Sorry, missed that.
In place of Chris Wood then but staying local;
Michael Gash (Kidderminster)
Sorry I have already took him in the next round...
Gah!
Top pick with Grigg. He was my find of the season last year. Hope he does well for you
sorry lads mightve had a nap in the sun.
Rip picks Nahki Wells (Bradford)
Alex picks Barry Corr (Southend)
Terek GazJny will take Dimitar Berbatov (Fulham) as our 2nd round draft pick
Terek GazJny
1. Darren Lavery (Berwick Rangers)
2. Dimitar Berbatov (Fulham)
Go on girls carry on taking the piss
What I should've done was a list, instead of then oh shit it's my pick and rushing it. Don't worry all afternoon as well as watching the Ashes I've done a 30 man list.
WAKE UP BEEBSSSSS
Quite wanted Gash or Griggs to be honest so bit miffed they've gone.
eBBFleet United's second pick is
Liam Hearn (Grimsby)
Bit of a punt but the Mansfield rumours seemed to have died down now and if he gets his form back he's going to be a cracking signing.
Who are you taking next? Simon Yeo?Go on girls carry on taking the piss

1. Adam Cunnington (Cambridge)
2. Liam Hearn (Grimsby)
I'm away to take the dog a walk I highly doubt this will roll around to me. Even if it does I won't be too long.
Welcome JP by the way best of luck with the game.
Clayton Donaldson (Brentford)
Steve Davies (Bristol City)
Bad Collin picks Billy Sharp (Southampton)
Thats the last list I have so I'm done for the moment.
Grim is going to be asleep, the TIT
Steve Davies has a fantastic upside this year. If he can stay fit but yeah he was high on my list
Did he not leave A LIST?!
I kinda hope he hasnt as im trying to watch our pre season game and havnt looked at it once yet due to updating.
He's such a fucking Andy sometimes
Not sure what time Grim is realistically going to be around. He's a bit crazy sometimes and is likely to have set an alarm to wake up and check this. Chances are it'll go close to the 12 hours mark though, which means my pick is likely going to fall while I am at work. Who can take a list if it comes to that?
PM me.
I'll be around, as will Beefy.
Thanks BBF.
1.fc
Lionel Messi (Barcelona)
Anthony Malbon (Kidderminster)
Billy Sharp (Southampton)
Hopefully Sharp gets his move back to Donny.
What happens if one of your players scores an own goal? Nothing?
Nothing at all.
Grim usually comes on at around 10-11pm UK time (so in about 3 hours).
If Mikey can leave his pick with me I can do both at the same time.
Mikey's left a list with myself, Torn and BBF so as soon as Grim's on we'll be good to go.
I'm having real trouble deciding on this pick.
I have about four I am going to choose between and am leaving Euro to last. This is actually tough and I have three gambles and one trusted bloke, but I can't remember what the best way to do it is this early.
I'm similar, I have one big risk, two moderate risks, a safe-ish pick and a Euro pick. Hmm.
Ok I think I've made a decision, just need to wait for that asshole Grim.
I'm off to get dinner and watch top gear. I'll leave my pick with beffy
Yeah send it my way.
Alright, I just asked MMH a question and he wasn't too sure, so I said I'd post it here and see what the general consensus is...
Say I wanted to sign a foreign player in hopes that he signs for an English team, could I sign him and have his team as "unattached" and still be able to pick my actual Euro player later on in the draft...? Or if the foreign player didn't sign for an eligible team, would he then be my Euro player?
My thinking is people who aren't in Europe are able to take punts on foreign players, so should those in Europe be allowed to as well?
Yeah unless you declare it as your Euro player I don't see why not.
Yeah that seems fine.
MMH replied again a minute or so after I posted to say that it's fine, but it's also a bit shit, and is why he wanted to place time limits on unattached players. At least we all know now anyhow, as I can't remember a situation like that coming up too often.
I think you lot should only be able to take said punts after euro pick.
to me unattached players are ineligible until the point they become active. That's because they aren't eligible in their current state to the person doing the drafting.
also you can just write higuain mate
Wondering if next year and maybe this was Hurleys idea it should be euro or keeper rather than both. Having almost guaranteed 25 goal strikers in round 7 of the draft is stupid
Hmmmmm I think you need to make sure that you're very clear that the player isn't your Euro pick so if he doesn't move to an eligible league then you're screwed - just like anyone else would be.
So that means that if you pick someone as an unattached player then someone else can pick them as their Euro player.
EDIT - I do tend to agree with sof that you probably shouldn't be able to do it as it's just too big an advantage on top of the normal Euro advantage but to be honest I can't think of a particularly justifiable reason why not.
There is one issue. If another manager takes this player as his Euro player then his pick overrules yours. And then if he goes from a euro to a home based player then he keeps him as a home player but loses the Euro pick.
Its hard as the whole point is that its a reward for last seasons performance.
Maybe it could be taken within the first three rounds or something?
If they are an eligible player when you draft how can they be considered unattached. By that I mean if they play in an eligible euro league when you have a euro pick surely they're not unattached.
Unless the rule is they can't be converted to a euro player under any circumstance
Thats basically it.
2nd round then keepers 3rd? Would give lower teams more of the first 50 local draft picks which should in theory make the league more competitive
The "unattached" is there just to distinguish between them being a punt and your actual Euro pick. Like Beefy said it has to be made very clear and that's the best way to do it, I reckon. So I could have "Ibrahimovic (Unattached)" and someone else in Europe could have "Ibrahimovic (PSG)" so it's clear.
Also I'm not having a whinge like so won't mind if it doesn't change. The real reason for me suggesting fewer euro leagues was to limit the number of top tier scorers available to the euro guys. I do think there's probably too many top ones available hence everyone waiting till later after Ronaldo and messi
It may or may not be sour grapes
But if they went "Ibrahimovic (PSG)" then you lose him whether he subsequently moves to England or not.
Yep, that's the risk. But the "unattached" would still work well until someone else came along and signed the same player, just so everyone knew I still had my Euro pick available.
No I reckon you are spot on...its the reason I ask these things during the off season.Also I'm not having a whinge like so won't mind if it doesn't change. The real reason for me suggesting fewer euro leagues was to limit the number of top tier scorers available to the euro guys. I do think there's probably too many top ones available hence everyone waiting till later after Ronaldo and messi

Yep fair play I'll raise them again at end of season and stop filling the draft thread with my crap
I'm around now for a good few hours, any chance of a pick tonight? My list is a bit all over the place, unsure about my first pick; wanted Templeton because his goal scoring record last season was ridiculous considering how many games he missed through injury, but he's essentially a winger I guess. Best player in the Scottish second division by a country mile though.
Can we not just set a bushfire in Australia or something? Wake Grim up with a vengeance.
Grimario has ruined Christmas.
Not going to lie lads this is one of the worst days of my life and it's entirely Grim's fault.
Hope he can live with that.
And he has the cheek to have a go at me. You commit to the game you commit to the timezone Grim.
Scum. Pure, unadulterated scum.
I've written on his Facebook wall. If he doesn't get online soon The messages may start to get abusive.
I've sent him an abusive tweet.
I still like him more than Andy
A given.
We were all set to destroy another round in an evening
HEY GRIM
Dggdgddgssvfgdgd
I just want to pick my player right now, so I can go to sleep and dream of getting fifth place next year. Grim then do we have lists for Jay, Andy and Mikey?
I'll be around, as I'll more than likely be staying up to watch MITB since I'm off tomorrow. Beefy has a list for Andy and myself, Torn and BBF all have Mikey's pick.
How about you've got to use your Euro pick in the first two rounds? So it's keeper and Euro pick or First round pick and Euro pick?
Andy only sent me one name. He's online still if he wants to send it to anyone else.
I'm heading to bed shortly but will likely check in every few hours. We're a long way from me anyway.
Everyone just send me all your lists. I'll have the draft done within the hour.
Fucking hell!HEY GRIM
I'm up as well so I'm good to go too.
Tomorrow late afternoon I'm out but will be back early evening so that shouldn't be a problem.
Grimario is now worse than a rapist. He is basically a Rangers fan in my eyes now.
Isn't in like mid-morning in Australia now? Does he have a fucking job or something?
I've got 12 hours. Will do my pick within the next 10 or so. Cheers lads
No problem mate. Take your time.
Coffee first?
Andy Brown (Nuneaton Town)
