Get picking.

@farzad4daarse you’re up.

 

[A_G]

@albakos next pick:

@Trilly @Riou next up

 

[Trilly]

Nutter
Can hold the ball up
Pace
Great movement in behind
Creates for himself and others

70 goal contributions in 89 appearances isn’t too bad either.

Don Diego!

@GDeep™ go!

 

[GDeep™]

Self explanatory really. Best young English player since Rooney, been excellent for a few years and an integral part of the Pep team.

I’ll have him on my RW.

 

[GDeep™]

For my 2nd pick I’ve gone with Shay Given. One of the most solid, reliable and consistent keepers in PL history.

Nice addition to my solid back line.

 

[Trilly]

It will have to do. England Number 1 I guess.

Slightly above average keeper but what he brings is some passion and more
importantly, the ability to play out from the back. Can pull out the odd worldie of a save as well.



@albakos

 

[A_G]

Think I’m picking for Al again. He’s gone for a Premier League icon:

Talent and skill in abundance, just don’t ask him about Covid

@Nacho

 

[Macho]

My bad guys I’m out drinking @A__G is Nicky butt available?

@DJ_Markstar go !!!

 

[DJ_Markstar]

My tenth round pick will play as a second striker, the man who opened the EPL as the top scorer in its inaugural season and even as a second striker has more EPL goals than Van Persie, Anelka, Drogba and many other top names in this draft, but also a creator and foil for pure strikers he played with such as Alan Shearer with England - none other than the great Teddy Sheringham




@Tir Na Nog go !!!

 

[Tir Na Nog]

Right my pick. This guy in his first few years was one of the best devastating finishers around. Unbelievable he hasnt been picked, probably forgotten about in all honesty








El Nino

@A__G

 

[A_G]

He can play his usual aggressive style knowing he has Desailly sweeping up behind him:
(Pretend he’s putting the Arsenal shirt on here)

@Sapient Hawk

 

[Sapient Hawk]

Chris Marsden exhudes quiet confidence. But sometimes quiet is best paired with boisterous pashun!!



None exemplify this more than David Batty!!!!

@OnlyOne

 

[OnlyOne]

Just because.

Welcome, Dimitar Berbatov.

 

[Rex Stone]

Taking Jonny Evans.

Surprised he’s still around tbh. Another underrated defender who we could’ve done with in recent years.

Unreal passing ability and started the whole season when Utd almost won the 2011/12 title and then was one of the best in the league at WBA then Leicester.



@Oxeki your turn lad.

 

[Oxeki]

A key piece in two title winning side. Was one of the best wingers in the country.

@RacingPhoton

 

[RacingPhoton]

Sylvain Distin will partner Tony Adams as CB
@Uncle Good-Advice

 

[Uncle Good-Advice]

One of most promising players in the last decade. Probably unfulfilled potential but he managed to play in over 250 matches for us. Welsh Pirlo, here we go.

@2Smokeyy

 

[2Smokeyy]

Robbie Fowler

- Liverpool highest ever scorer in PL history
- 8th highest scorer in PL history after Thierry in 7th
- Loves to sniff Coca Cola
- Still named “GOD” on the streets of Pool

Laughable that he lasted this long

@db10_therza

 

[db10_therza]

Dan Petrescu at Right back. Yeah. I went there.

@farzad4daarse

 

[Farzad Stoned]

Dan Petrescu at Right back. Yeah. I went there.

@farzad4daarse

I select Harry Kewell

 

[Farzad Stoned]

Phil Jaglieka cb
