Title: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 21, 2011, 05:27:37 PM
Hey guys. The official game is now open and all players are confirmed to be playing so the drafting for this will being shortly. To be more specific it will start at 2pm on Saturday.

The draft order has been randomly generated and it is:

1.    Fletch
2.    BoredSaint
3.    Hellopplz
4.    Cookie Monster
5.    MajorLazer
6.    CrowsFan
7.    chrisuzz
8.    Hawka
9.    DG
10.  Luigi

For round 2 it will be reversed. Remember to check the rules thread so you understand how it works :)

You currently have 24 hours to take your pick once it becomes your turn, this may be changed to 12 if we are running out of time. However there is a stipulation to this, and that is:

If you have been online since the pick before you has been picked you must make your pick. If you don't, once you have been offline for 2 hours your turn will be skipped

This is to make the draft run smoothly and quickly.

Ok felt like just starting the draft now, don't see much point waiting another hour and a bit.

Fletch has given me his first pick so the first pick of the draft is none other than Frank Lampard.

BS is now up...

Also guys if you're not going to be on the forum for a while leave some picks with someone so the draft can continue on. Probably be better leaving your picks with someone not in the draft cos then they can't steal your picks ;)

Post by: Justin Bieber on July 23, 2011, 01:45:34 PM
Expected Lamps to go early.

If BS is on soon, I may be able to choose my pick :D. Also open to trades if anybody wants ;).

Don't see much point in doing trades yet HP, no one has picked anyone :P

There is always trades to be made! Like Draft picks :P. But usually starts 1-2 rounds in like last season. Lets just hope we can finish the draft before the season which may be an ask!

24 hour skipping again or shorten it down to 12 to keep things moving?
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread
Post by: CrowsFan on July 23, 2011, 01:51:34 PM
At the moment 24, but may have to shorten if it starts going slow cos we have only 3 weeks before the start of the season...

Think so although forgot. I'll check back shortly :P. EDIT: AFL Draft Based EPL Fantasy: http://www.fanfooty.com.au/forum/index.php/topic,21728.0.html

Also, I'll send a new updated list I sent you CF after I just found something out about my #1 pick :'(. Ah well, not utterly disappointed.

Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread
Post by: CrowsFan on July 23, 2011, 02:45:59 PM
Well then you would have to pick another player ;)

OK a new rule has been added to the drafting process to make sure it runs along quickly and smoothly.

If you have been online since the pick before you has been picked you must make your pick. If you don't, once you have been offline for 2 hours your turn will be skipped/b]

Luigi if you're online you can make your pick so if you go offline and don't come back it's only fair you get skipped
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Luigi197 on July 23, 2011, 04:13:43 PM
Well ok then.

Oh yeah important:

Maximum number of players per team?
like more than 3 Chelsea players per team like the real thing?
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 23, 2011, 04:15:09 PM
Pretty sure I mentioned it in the rules, but may have skipped over it. Yes a max of 3 players per team :)
Hopefully cookie monster comes on soon so we can keep this going :)

Rafael van Der Vaart.

Post by: CrowsFan on July 23, 2011, 04:37:06 PM
Nice pick CM. Will be interesting to see how much game time he gets now he has to compete with another great player. But we know that when he does play he will score well!
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 23, 2011, 04:46:13 PM

For my first pick I will take Luis Suarez. I reckon he is going to have an amazing year!
ZZ up now

Not like zz to be off FF for this long...
Remember guys if you are going to be away for a while leave your picks with someone. We need to get through this draft very quickly since the actual season starts soon!

I just remembered that I'm on camp this week so is it ok if I give you (CF) a shortlist.

I'll have it done by tonight.
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 24, 2011, 01:35:18 PM
I'd prefer it if you gave it to someone else who isn't in the draft, but on the site often, but otherwise yes you can give it to me

It's not that bad luigi. Means you get 2 picks in a row so don't have to worry about tossing up between 2 people :)

Yeah that was a positive i could find.
I already know my first two picks (unless of course they get taken) ...
Just waiting for ZZ now..

Also, does anyone reckon Fabregas will move? I think Barca said he 2 weeks to decide a week ago. The transfer season ends before the start of the EPL season right? But what about in the Jan/Feb Transfer window, someone swaps clubs and causes you to have more than 3 players from the one team in your team? (i.e. Having already Malouda, Drogba and Terry from Chelsea, and Modric from Tottenham.. But then in the Jan Transfer Window Modric moves to Chelsea??)

Post by: Hawka on July 24, 2011, 03:57:06 PM
the transfer ends 2 or 3 games into the season im pree sure

Post by: CrowsFan on July 24, 2011, 04:00:46 PM
The season starts on the 13th of august and the transfer window closes on the 1st of september. Not sure about fab, he may or may not move.
Might as well skip zz now don't think he will be on in the next 40 minutes. Hawka feel free to take your pick :)

Post by: Luigi197 on July 24, 2011, 04:04:10 PM
Hey CF, how about like once every three days, send a PM to all of us participating just copying the Thread Post on the other thread that has who has been taken and the following picks, just to remind anyone about anything...
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Hawka on July 24, 2011, 04:23:44 PM
My first pick is
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_AaoPbpzgw3Q/SiFWzaJ9zYI/AAAAAAAAAfg/Djy9orkczME/s400/Florent-Malouda-celeb-Chelsea-v-Fulham_2252693.jpg)

Florent Malouda
from chelsea..He had a great season last year and i reckon he is a great first rnd pick to lead my midfeild
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 24, 2011, 04:26:34 PM
Interesting pick, I had a few other mids ahead of him, mainly due to his age though cos not sure if he will be as good as last season.
DG is now up :)

Also luigi not really sure I understand what you mean?
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Luigi197 on July 24, 2011, 04:41:31 PM
Ok. Say i have a team that has Terry in the backs, Malouda in the mids, and Drogba in my forward, and i have Modric in my mids. Modric plays for Tottenham and i already have 3 Chelsea players. However what will happen if in the Jan Transfer Season, Modric moves to Chelsea, and i still have all those players? Cause then i will have 4 Chelsea players, against the rules..
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 24, 2011, 04:50:03 PM
I meant your other post about sending a PM to everyone...
But to answer that question you would have to trade one of those players before the next round starts. Either to someone else in the league or to a free agent who hasn't been picked yet
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Luigi197 on July 24, 2011, 05:09:35 PM

Hey CF, are you gonna make a AEPL Fantasy Game: Draw/Results/Table thread like Fletch did? Then make it a sticky?
And are you gonna have a thread for each week with 'GR12 Discussion/Teams/Trades/Analysis' instead of having multiple threads for every gameround?

-also should someone PM a mod (or m0nty?) about 'un-sticking' Fletch's AEPL thread?
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Luigi197 on July 24, 2011, 05:20:23 PM
Also it took a month and 7 days to do the 176 picks for the Soccer Dynasty, that was averaging under 4.6 picks a day.
We have to almost double that rate (7.6 picks a day) if we want to complete it on time. Did you guys do it on time last year?
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 24, 2011, 07:07:45 PM
Yes luigi I will be making that thread shortly. Fixtures have already been created so will post that up later.
Yes I know it is going to be a struggle to get this finished before the season starts which is why we have to give picks to others if we are going to be away for a while.
No we didn't start on time last year but that was also cos we didn't start till after the season started. If we end up being a rounds late then we will just play less matches...

Post by: Luigi197 on July 24, 2011, 09:04:03 PM
Ok. Was gonna pick Van Persie, but DG got him.
Was gonna pick Gerrard, but he's now injured.

So I choose:

Darren Bent

Post by: CrowsFan on July 24, 2011, 10:22:56 PM
Think it's a little early to be taking defenders but definitely the best defender out there. Goals and assists since he takes free kicks. Nice one.
Now to wait for zz to pick. Where has he been this weekend?
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Hawka on July 24, 2011, 10:36:17 PM
Hmm maybe it is but he is the best but if I remember correctly there were 2 or 3 defenders picked before my 2nd pic last yr which was around pick 10

I was thinking about him soonish ;). Picked him up last year but a few rounds in as I love the way he attacks. I was hoping he'd slip to me as him and ___ will provide the core to my defence 8).

Had a few others before Bent and with Villa's midfield sells, may hurt a tad. Nasri I was planning with my next pick :(. Some nice picks though 8).

I'm on camp this week guys, so RB has volunteered to take my picks for me.

I have given him a shortlist with 15 names. That should be enough?
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 25, 2011, 12:25:51 AM
I reckon maybe stretch it out to 20 if you can ML. Just in case we speed up a bit :)
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Justin Bieber on July 25, 2011, 12:26:33 AM
Hopefully ML. It should do unless ALL of them go :P.

The good players will go in the early rounds so could see the list slim down fast.
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)

I have a few that will most likely still be there, but I'll send another Pm with a couple more names to RB.

Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 25, 2011, 04:13:29 PM
ZZ has till 9 tonight to pick. Then he will be skipped again. If he gets skipped again he will automatically be skipped when it is his turn until he comes back online. Basically he can make his picks whenever he comes online now. Which is hopefully very soon! >:(
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: DG on July 25, 2011, 04:22:29 PM
im sure he will be back soon, just wanted to check the rules. im getting itchy, but dont have another pick for ages!  :'(
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 25, 2011, 08:31:11 PM
Ok honestly don't think zz will be on soon and with many others on he is now skipped so we can keep this draft moving. That means it's my pick so I will take Ashley Young. I reckon he will kill it at United and will cement a first team spot.
(http://u.goal.com/137400/137409hp2.jpg)

ML up now (really RB)
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)

ML (RB), CM and then I am up. Followed by BS and Fletch's double.

Nani and Young going early.... Wonder when the other Winger from Man U is going :P.

I wanted Young as well :'(.

Yes very sorry about that guys. CF caught me just as I was taking off to have dessert and then I ended up watching masterchef for about half an hour :-X

ML pick:

Just a quick Apple+F search and couldn't find the name anywhere, unless someone has just posted his picture? But I'm pretty sure he is still available.

David Silva.

Well pic doesn't show up for me but quoted you and saw it is Luka Modric.
Don't like that pick sorry cos he doesn't score many or get many assists...
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Justin Bieber on July 25, 2011, 09:56:28 PM
My next pick will be a great midfield who is hoping to continue his great run at Liverpool, Charlie Adam.
(http://www.independent.co.uk/multimedia/dynamic/00535/10-Blackpool_535921t.jpg)

He is a great goal scorer and assister and should be playing on field for the Reds I would hope.

Nice pick HP. Was considering him cos Gerard is going to miss the first 2 months of the season so should play.
BS up now

this pick may shock a few..

Андрей Сергеевич Аршавин :P or more commonly known as Andrei Sergeyevich Arshavin

Will benefit from more midfield time if undrafted does indeed leave ;) and can score goals and assist :)

Ok, so it's my pick.... Pick 20

Need a decent striker to accompany Lampard, so I choose

(http://images.supersport.co.za/Andy-Carroll-110203-Posing-R-300.jpg)

The man to accompany Suarez in Liverpool in their resurgence.

Nice picks fletch. Carroll should score very well in an improving Liverpool team and Hart is a great shot stopper.
I reckon everyone will now start picking goal keepers...

Nemanja Vidić

(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-JDXZZeGKV1U/Td_bzCARXXI/AAAAAAAACsg/F2ceTuQIMeg/s640/nemanja_vidic-657.jpg)

Clearly the best centre back in the league. Will be vital in Man United's title defence. Can also score goals.

DANG IT!!! I was going to get Carroll with my next pick :'(. Then had Vidic behind him -_-.

Will think shortly....
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Justin Bieber on July 26, 2011, 05:45:59 PM
My next pick will go to Charles N'Zogbia.

(http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_Ew8LlUWG4UA/S9FSbRawSGI/AAAAAAAAAcE/H3zH21RofG8/s320/charles.jpg)

I chose N'Zogbia as he's the best performer at Wigan (and might move to Villa where he'll front the midfield once again). He can score goals, add assists and also gain bonus points due to his ability with the ball.
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 26, 2011, 05:49:32 PM
Wow never thought he would go this early, but he is a proven performer in the the league and if he moves to Villa will probably score even better
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: bomberboy0618 on July 26, 2011, 05:51:07 PM

Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Justin Bieber on July 26, 2011, 05:52:25 PM
Well was tossing up between him and ____ but went with N'Zogbia as he's certain to play when fit as the other may be rested although in favour with the manager.

Have 6 guys shortlisted for my next 2 picks, hopefully I can nab 2 of them although pretty unlikely :P.

Not sure BB. I hope it is :D.

Didier Drogba

Post by: Justin Bieber on July 26, 2011, 06:00:09 PM
Nice pick Hilly. Is getting older which may tempt people to avoid him though but he is a GUN 8).

THAT IS AWESOME!! Considering we tend to sell all our good midfielders, lets hope he can stay :P. I think it was a bargain considering we sold Downing for much more.
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)

ML up now so will message RB :)
Got no clue who I'm going to pick...
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: roo boys! on July 26, 2011, 06:07:11 PM
ML's next pick :)

Clint Dempsey

(http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-NjUA8_3QzS8/TZjIvuGr4MI/AAAAAAAAGJA/DZ65xPnFv40/s640/dempsey-ghana-goal.jpg)

Know nothing about him but looks like a happy fellow when he scores :P

Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 26, 2011, 06:11:47 PM
I'm going to take Gervinho. Was hoping he would be named as a midfielder since he plays wide of a front 3 so was hoping they would say he is a winger, but alas no. Last year in the French league scored 15 goals and got 10 assists. Started off well at Arsenal scoring 2 goals in his first game. Bit of a risk though as he may not play to start...

(http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2011/7/23/1311451163933/Gervinho-007.jpg)

ZZ is automatically skipped since he hasn't been on since Friday. Hawka is up :)

Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Luigi197 on July 26, 2011, 08:52:11 PM
Pepe Reina

(http://www.cleansheetsallround.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/Pepe-Reina-Liverpool-2011-300x187.jpg)

Stewart Downing

(http://live4liverpool.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/stewart_downing-liverpool.jpg)

Knocked of two Liverpool players now.
Needed a GK quick IMO. And another mid, and this guy seemed to be a popular pick between all the FPL players (well compared to my other options), despite going to contest for a spot in the Liverpool team. A good Fantasy Scorer with Bonuses and Assists almost every week, then chuck in a goal every 3 games.

Luigi :)

Steven Gerrard

Probably the best player in the league when he's up and about  ;)

Post by: Cookie Monster on July 26, 2011, 08:58:05 PM

Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: DG on July 26, 2011, 09:03:57 PM
yeah i couldnt find anything concrete on how many he'll miss, having not played this style of draft fantasy before not sure if it is a good move, time will tell  ;)

Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: roo boys! on July 26, 2011, 11:12:07 PM
My go! :)

First, CF's pick:
Branislav Ivanovic

Seeing as I know nothing about this guy, I can only assume CF picked him because of his name ;)

Picture?
(http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_XdIUnVKQfXs/TNO6JcgHi7I/AAAAAAAAABg/SCMknUBrChk/s1600/Ivanovic.jpg)

Top corner? ;)

Surely that can't be good for his left ankle? :o
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Justin Bieber on July 26, 2011, 11:15:44 PM
DANG IT!!!! I wanted him next :'(. Him and Baines are my favourite defenders for the fantasy game and who I actually like on field :P. Ah well, Have a few backups for him :-\.

ML, Hilly and then me again :D.
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: roo boys! on July 26, 2011, 11:18:59 PM
Now ML's shot.

For ML, I draft:
Theo Walcott

For his pic I found him with someone who is certainly a fan of his ball use! :)

(http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_1jAAasQyWSI/S5yyQ1Q-FBI/AAAAAAAABEg/QiiTKQeYgmo/s400/F94319CA70E2CA9B7EBB2FC5C6DF5B.jpg)


Oh, so Ivanovic is a defender? Well I can then assume that he isn't having a shot in that pic....forget that top corner business :-X
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Justin Bieber on July 26, 2011, 11:20:06 PM
Not bad, didn't plan on taking him so all good :D.

Now Hilly's pick then mine before I'm off :).
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Cookie Monster on July 26, 2011, 11:24:49 PM
best LB in the game i reckon, Ashley Cole
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Justin Bieber on July 26, 2011, 11:28:44 PM
My pick will be Javier "Chicharito" Hernandez.
(http://images.malsaque.com/apr10/08apr_hernandez_manu.jpg)

Has made a big impact in his Man U debut season last season even by being able to hold out Berba from first team action for some time in his form. I'd hope he can do the same this season as he's certainly quite a firecracker!
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 27, 2011, 12:52:51 AM
Haha RB you make me laugh :D
Although it could be going top corner, cos last season he scored 4 goals and got 5 assists. Was tossing up between Cole and Ivanovic but decided on Ivanovic as I see even more room for improvement.
Walcott a good pick, depending on how they line up he could be fighting Gervinho for a spot, but I reckon they will both play with Arshavin dropped to the bench, forming a front 3 with RVP and Nasri playing behind them if he stays.
I like Hernandez as a pick too, he was high on my list of remaining strikers, but not to worry I have a few others in mind for my final forward spot ;)

BS up then fletch with a double. Assuming BS wont be on till tomorrow afternoon since he has the UMAT tomorrow!

Adel Taarabt

and the Verminator - who needs to stay away from injuries this season

Oh fletch how I hate you so. Thought I would be able to last a little longer before picking Taarabt, along with his 19 goals he also got 16 assists. Actually plays as a wide man of a front 3, plus is the captain of QPR.
Also wanted to take Vermaelen with one of my next 2 picks, thinking that people would have forgotten how well he did the season he wasn't injured.

Plenty of good option with the mids.

Wow I had to go all the way down to 18th on ML's list of 25 for the first available pick here :-\

Anyway, the player is:

Patrice Evra

(http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01205/patrice-evra_1205328a.jpg)

Maybe not a crowd favourite...well at least not with this guy :o

Nice pick hawka. Would have picked him up myself if I didn't have Suarez and Gervinho.
For my pick I am going to take a big risk cos of all the transfer speculation going on, but I reckon he will stay at the club. I pick Cesc Fabregas :o

hahaha my bad. Yeah MICHAEL DAWSON ;)

You reckon i did the right or wrong move choosing two defenders now? That evens up my formation a bit right?
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on July 27, 2011, 10:32:49 PM
Kompany was a good choice, was classified as a midfielder last year so will be receiving clean sheet bonuses this year. Don't think Dawson was though, Tottenham barely ever keep clean sheets. Also not really about balancing formations at the moment, you want the highest scoring players and they are usually mids or forwards ;)

After Luiz was taken, I was going to go for him but he's gone as well :(. I like Kompany as well as he wasn't far behind ::). Jeez..... I'm losing alot of ground on the defenders :P.

Fab could be a brilliant move. I was considering him as well as he's a steal if he stays 8). Would have gotten him next round if he was still around as what could I lose :P.

Ok, sorry about the overnight delay guys, but here is ML's pick:

Mikel Arteta

(http://images.teamtalk.com/08/10/800x600/Mikel-Arteta-Everton-Newcastle-United-Premier_1265290.jpg)

Ball isn't even the goals mate ???....assuming the game just finished and they won? Haha ;)

PS I'm up to pick 23 of 25 and ML comes back tomorrow, and obviously I can't choose a player for him not on the list because I know about 3 soccer players and they would have already been picked/don't play in the EPL :P

Oh fletch how I hate you so. Thought I would be able to last a little longer before picking Taarabt, along with his 19 goals he also got 16 assists. Actually plays as a wide man of a front 3, plus is the captain of QPR.
Also wanted to take Vermaelen with one of my next 2 picks, thinking that people would have forgotten how well he did the season he wasn't injured.
Sorry CF :) Have been playing the EPL leagues now for a while. I remember how good Vermaelen was in 09/10 ;) Scored 7 goals :) Just hope he can stay away from injuries.

I saw that Aguero was on the move yesterday morning, but was waiting for HP and BS to have their choices and was hoping they wouldn't pick him :D

As for Rodriguez, he's scored a couple of times in Liverpool's warm-up games, not that that means much, but with Gerrard out I'm hoping he gets some good game time.

Since ML has already got his 5 midfielders and I am going to pick a midfielder can I just make my pick?

Also, seeing as you have 5 midfielders, maybe you'd like to trade one? :P.

Marc Alrbrighton
With Downing and Young gone he should now be a starter each week. Showed what he could do coming off the bench last season and so should improve on that :)

Couldn't you let him drop some more CF? >:(. He's an almost certain in my fantasy team as he's taking over Young's role :o.

Nice forward ML. Will send PM now.

Well I was either going to take him with that pick or my next one so was never getting to you :P
Also needed to take a midfielder considering all I had was Young and Fabregas who is most likely going to leave...
Nice pick Hawka, DG up :)

Jermain Defoe

Matthew Etherington

(http://img.skysports.com/09/01/218x298/Matthew-Etherington-Stoke-2009_1798947.jpg)

A forward I presume should play and I hope will catch some form.
A midfielder who is consistent and a star in his own team.

Luigi :)

Cahill a good pick as a goal scoring defender. Only concern is the clean sheet worry.
Etherington also a good pick. Not sure about Defoe though, had his worst season last year and not sure if he can return to form. Could be great pick if he gets form back

Yeah should help him out if he moves. I'm going to take Gael Clichy with my pick. Moved to city who are a better defensive team than Arsenal so should get more clean sheets there.

I need to get a defender, a goal scoring one too, so I choose Joleon Lescott

(http://u.goal.com/89400/89467_news.jpg)

For my next pick, I'm going to take another gamble, and go with someone who scored 19 goals in the championship as a winger, but is listed as a midfielder, last year after Chelsea relesed him to Swansea, Scott Sinclair

(http://static.guim.co.uk/sys-images/Football/Pix/pictures/2011/1/15/1295111331705/Scott-Sinclair-007.jpg)

Post by: CrowsFan on July 31, 2011, 11:36:57 AM
Don't like the pick of Lescott to be honest. Once Toure is back from his drug suspension I would assume he will get dropped back to the bench. And Toure's suspension ends at the start of September.
Not sure whether Meireles will even get a game at Liverpool now with the addition of Adam and undrafted...
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: Justin Bieber on July 31, 2011, 11:42:56 AM
Going to go for another defender in Phil Jagielka.
(http://clockendview.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/07/Phil-Jagielka.jpg)
Can be acttacking but that seems to be handed over to Baines recent seasons. Cleansheets are still on the card.
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)

Well soccer is starting to actually get busy for me as ive been playing under 19s aswell as indoor and U17s, would even have to play U16s if they need :-\

But while i was thinking about pulling out, I dont think you should have a bye, to make things more interesting have an average score of each team for that week and that can be the bye's score, the bye could be included in the ladder for laughs too

Considering you also have Hernandez should work out fine for you cos one of them should always be playing :)
Great pick for this late in the draft ;)

Yeah, he's disgruntled as is UNDRAFTED. But nobody interests me as much as him for potential so took the risk. Kinda like CF with Fabregas.

Also just read that SAF said Hernandez wont be back playing for another 3 to 4 weeks after getting concussion, and with the league starting in 2 looks like Berba will get a few games to start. If he can bank some goals he may be hard to displace ;)

I'm going to take a solid defender in Aaron Hughes

Barton has been chucked on the transfer list by Newcastle. Wonder where he is going to end up? Will this help or hinder his scoring potential or will he even be in the league at all? Luigi how do you feel about this considering you drafted him in?

Ok I was tossing up between 2 player from Newcastle for this pick. Still haven't really made my mind up, but I know I never will. I am going to pick Yohan Cabaye.
(http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01949/yohan-cabaye_1949574c.jpg)
I am picking him over undrafted because with Barton now being placed on the TL I think it means he should be almost guaranteed a starting position...

That's the issue, it is a risk and he's not getting any younger, but happy to take a punt. Gerrard is out until early September with a groin infection, so hopefully Barry can have a good start!

Post by: Luigi197 on August 02, 2011, 05:16:02 PM
Damn, it was either Cabaye or Barton.
Barton is good however, and I still can hope that he moves to a EPL team that will play him. But i don't want him to move as the entry of Cabaye should help his scoring (but will still remain in the team).

I think I went well with those two defenders?

I choose Shay Given

Think I know the Keeper you're thinking of CF but I think I have another in mind who has the potential to increase his scoring.

MGP was one I was thinking about BS.

HP, my decision about 2 Villa players is incidental as Given won't be in my team, I got him purely for a strategy reason to double trade with someone. I noticed that both you and BS didn't have keepers and I already have Hart, so its an opportunity to get a better player on the field...

Know who you were thinking of CF ;). Funny enough may just have pipped my other choice. I don't have a TOP keeper but think I should land 2 solid ones 8).

Wojciech Szczesny has somehow managed to displace Undrafted and Undrafted as Arsenal's keeper. Although their defence isn't as good as it use to be, they are still a top team so hopefully he won't get dropped for one of the undrafted :P.

I'll take Paul Robinson as my backup keeper. Not many clean sheets but gets heaps of saves and surpisingly a few assists due to Blackburns style of playing long balls...

Now seeing about Barton on the Transfer List, I better try and nab one more OK one now.
And seeing there are bound to be some byes, I better not leave my sub-keeper to the last pick of the draft.

------------------------------------

Hogan Ephraim - QPR Midfielder

-A risk here, not sure on how he will fare, but can score goals from what I read

(http://u.goal.com/134200/134219_news.jpg)

------------------------------------

Jussi Jaaskelainen - Bolton GoalKeeper

-This experienced old chap should stay on my bench so long he can keep on doing critical saves.

Pretty sure he was given a run at LB. But in our form we had alot of youngsters playing during the season due to injury and just giving them a run :P.

CF, what are we going to do when the draft is over? Are we going to be able to drop players and choose others before the season starts?

What if a new signing comes along before the season starts, say for instance?
Title: Re: AEPL 2011/12 Draft Thread (Pick players here)
Post by: CrowsFan on August 03, 2011, 05:34:20 PM
Yeah once draft is over (not just for you, but everyone) then you can drop and trade players how ever you like. I will be nice and say that before the season starts you can have unlimited trades, but once it starts it is 2 trades per round just like last season :)
If a new signing comes along it is first in first served, but you must wait for the transfer to be official ;)
