Well, kind of maybe. But that's what's enjoyable about a 10-team draft; we are all forced to dig around in the bargain basement bin. Can actually help in FPL too because it causes you to spread the net wider.

Never again.

Sorry Joccki, that last part should have read "...but if he can control his maniacal urge to crush the skulls of opposition midfielders like a demented lunatic from some horror film, he could be an excellent pick."

My bad.

GW11 Waivers

First things first. MoSe is getting better but he is still malingering in hospital and charming the nurses. Well, he calls it charming. Between themselves they call it something else. :wink:

So, today's activity:

  • MoSe got wahine's Fernandinho in for Phillips. As if he doesn't already have enough good players. :shock:
  • Wahine brought Gomez and Dier in for Tarkowski and Xhaka. Giroud is doing well for her but unfortunately only in the EFL Cup and Europa League. :roll:
  • Deeney has been taking pottery lessons as an anger management technique but unfortunately he mistook Allen for a lump of clay that needed moulding last weekend, he obviously hasn't quite got the hang of it yet. Anyway, Joccki has decided enough is enough and having failed to get Sturridge switched him for Diouf, taking Antonio for Brady at the same time in a somewhat inexplicable (sorry, brilliant) move.
  • PB went waiver crazy this week and stacked up something like 84 requests; he managed to make 4 switches including beating Joccki to the punch with Sturridge as well as adding Demarai Gray, Hoedt and J-Rod.
  • TopMarx went for Naughton and Ayew in order to cover himself in the event of a 5-0 Swansea win. :lol:
  • Mo Bot has only made 3 transactions all season but he has bigger fish to fry of course. 8-)
  • It's not clear whether snakzz realises that transfers in Draft don't cost you points. :?: He hasn't made a single one yet anyway and has clearly not discovered the delights of poking around in the free agent bin on a Friday (which is a very therapeutic activity and much to be recommended).
  • And RNZ has added Aurier and Ince to his constellation of players cast off by others.
MoSe leads by 51 points. He ought to be playing with a handicap really. :mrgreen:

Seven actually. The exact same number as you, and one less than you made last week. :wink:

As I said last week, I've been languishing Stoke-like in mid-table for ages now. This is the only way to inject a bit of fun into proceedings. I have a core of season-keepers (Alli, Coutinho, Maguire, Mané, Valencia, Zlatan (I was on that particular train before the train was even built :lol:)). The rest I'm happy to take gambles on each week to see if it will boost my position at all, swapping them in and out and taking fixture-based punts.

I was a bit annoyed to miss out on both of the Swansea players I tried to get (Ayew and Naughton), in the end settling for a fairly wild punt on Jay Rodriguez (welcome back :roll:) away to Huddersfield and doubling up on the Saints defence with Hoedt (and Bertrand) at home to Burnley. A quick check of Paddy Power's clean sheet odds has Southampton the only team odds-on for a shutout this weekend. That said, Southampton aren't so good as to be completely trustworthy and Burnley are more dangerous on the road than they were last season, so I'm fully expecting to see that double-cleanie busted within about 14 minutes of kick-off tomorrow. :D

Saw that, scratched my own head very hard too. :lol: Antonio had been weighing my team down for ages when I cast him off a couple of weeks ago. I'm perfectly happy to let him do the same to dear old Joccki.

Editorial license, PB. :P Plus, I have this thing where when there is more than 5 of something my ability to estimate gets a bit out of whack. :mrgreen:

PS: Does anyone want Joselu? I'd like to drop him but as his current manager I feel it may crush his already fragile confidence to be left unwanted in the free agent pool. :o

I'd have happily had him this week or in GW13, but not in GW12 with United (A). Curse your timing. :lol:

yeah i keep looking at a Giroud replacement but dont seem to find any that wont be bench warmers anyway for me, so there he stays -i will look at it next week, maybe
dont forget i had all these great teams when the drafts all went wrong for the rest of you, then I wasnt there when you guys picked the teeth out of it in my absence so I got left with what the computer came up with, but I do have Harry and hes back but lesson 1 will always be - you have to be there.

You need a striker that plays every week. For example, I have Joselu. 8-) :P

I get Deeney. He gets suspended.

I want Sturridge. He is picked just before me.

I pick Diouf. He plays as a wide back.

Amazing.

Edit: He does. His team is so good he can afford to bench DDG, David Luiz and Fernandinho. :lol:

Who snapped up Benteke before I had the chance to do so? :roll:

And by the way, you’re doing a great job picking Liverpool players, PB. Sturridge was a wonderful call and Matip - now injured - as well. :oops:

What?? Matip's not flagged. Did he injure himself getting out of bed for a midnight snack? :lol:

I also like how you're trying to conveniently ignore the fact you tried to sign Sturridge last week too. :wink:

I was seeking a replacement for the hopeless Perez, I was dallying between JRod, Rondon or Depoitre, chose JRod, then a colleague came to ask me something, and when after 1 minute I went to Confirm, it said someone else had taken him, that I had to "amend my proposed transfer" :x

Well, should JRod perform well, I'll fwd you my colleague address, so you can send her some appropiate gift.
I suggest a Hello-Kitty drill, as her name means "Pink Drills" in english

Whoever you got instead will score, MoSe, that's the rule of this league.

My team was abysmal last week and I have slumped to 4th behind Joccki. Joccki of all people. :oops: :roll:

My team looks pretty ragged this week as well. I don't know who has got all the good players, wahine maybe. :lol:

Another week of "meh". This Draft thing is a slog. A sometimes enjoyably diverting slog, but a slog nevertheless.

Yes, completely inconceivable that I'm able to read the names of players on the "Available" list. :lol:

No need for jealousy anyway, Joccki. You're doing much better than me.
