Going to be an interesting games. Hopefully Sunderland do well for the both of us :D.

Arteta vs Milner would be a good matchup between the Captains.

Just a heads up Q, but Bent may not play this weekend through injury. Also interesting you have gone for Givet playing against Sunderland, whilst Williamson is playing Wigan, so might be able to keep a clean sheet

Haha so I discovered where my team disappeared to the first time I posted it. I accidently posted it in the analysis thread instead of the teams thread. My bad! ;D

Lol CF ;D. Just saw you removed it :P.

In form Van Der Vaart could be nice 8).

Andrew3737 · October 15, 2010, 07:01:01 PM

yerp he has been a gun. Hope he does continue his form.

I'm so annoyed you picked VDV andrew. I was going to pick him but went Glen Johnson first cos I thought that VDV would make it through another round, but then you picked him :(
Since then I have traded out Johnson for Gary Cahill and then dropped him for Jerome Boateng. Gee worked out well for me :(

Andrew3737 · October 15, 2010, 07:08:02 PM

I was surprised when he was still available in the 4th round. Same with AJ and David Silva.

Justin Bieber · October 15, 2010, 07:11:07 PM

I wanted Young and left him for a little later. ZZ picked him up before me :'(. But now have Berba to make up for it :P.

Not sure why you traded out Johnson (a proven scorer although not the best of starts) for Cahill who you dropped? I'm Keeping A Little Faith in my players :D. Baines, Jaask, Ivanovic, Henderson and Davies are those who I like :D. First few didn't start of well but have shown something recently 8).

That happened to me a couple of times as well CF ;D. We could try a similar one next season if all of us are still on but maybe with more teams 8).

Adam Johnson was another one I was going to pick up.
You did pretty well in the draft andrew I must admit

Justin Bieber · October 15, 2010, 07:12:54 PM

He's probably got one of the stronger teams. Forwards a little let down but everywhere else :o.

CrowsFan · October 15, 2010, 07:14:03 PM

Well I traded him so that I could get Torres, and pretty certain that Boateng will stay in the side now so is a better player to have than Cahill.

I don't think it would work well with more teams, 8 is a good number I feel. Mainly because of the whole goal keeper issue. You get more teams and some teams might not even get a playing keeper

Andrew3737 · October 15, 2010, 07:15:42 PM

My midfield is prob top 1 or 2. Forwards are by far bottom 4. I think I am around 1-3 mark for the best team.

Justin Bieber · October 15, 2010, 07:18:35 PM

Same probably for me :).

8 is a good number. But can limit to 1 keeper to each team for the first like 8 rounds. Everybody would have to draft a keeper. Then it's a free for all for the remaining keepers :P. Would make the banter some more fun with more heads in 8).

CrowsFan · October 15, 2010, 07:21:12 PM

If it was to happen again next year it would be better if it was completed before the season started so that no one knows who is in form and stuff like that.

Also it would be good if it was organised that we all had to be on at a certain time to try and pick the draft in 1 night or over a few nights instead of weeks
