Time for a re-think of Commandment 5????

Post by Jagduracell »

'Thou shall not pick a CK until he has proved himself in the EPL'

Last season we had Dzeko, Aguero, Mata et al

This season (so far) we have had Hazard, Cazorla, Michu etc.

Has anyone else had this commandment at the back of their mind when making initial selections? I know I have which is why I went heavier on the likes of Mata than Hazard across my teams. Perhaps a time to trust the gut instead!

That rule is nonsense when the prem was more physical and had a high percentage of British players with clubs playing the British way the rule kinda made sense

But nowadays CK's can settle easier and more time on the ball due to how the prem has changed

It's a outdated commandment

I agree Jag, I was thinking the same.

Good point em, think it's also a more athletic league rather than purely physical.....if you're skillful enough in some positions then you're good enough but in most positions you need to be skillful, fit and strong enough now.

The commandment doesn't say that.

It was worded correctly and precisely.
