It’s going to be a snake draft so the order will reverse at the end of the round. You will have a 60 minute window to make your pick, but if you’re online when your time comes it’s 10 minutes before you get a randomised player. The game will be paused overnight.

Please make sure to tag the next player to keep the game moving quickly.

So because everyone has made their Chelsea and United picks we’re going to make our final four picks now instead of two.

1) First we’re taking our Liverpool player. A crucial part of that Liverpool front three who won it all it’s Bobby Dazzler himself… Arsenal’s nightmare.

2) He might have just been injured but he has been literally heads and shoulders above any other CB in the league for at least the last year.

Lethal from any set piece it is of course our magnifico Gabriel…

3) Probably the greatest RB in Premier League history once you consider all the contenders.

As unlikable as he is on the mic he was a colossus at right back for a decade with United it’s G Nev.

4) And finally with a lineup that has Firmino and Zaha we have creators and work horses but need some goals.

Time for the true PL iceman to bag a deflected or penalty hat trick… it’s Cold Palmer

@Makingtrax make your pick then tag @OnlyOne

Peace out everyone.

 

[Makingtrax]

Nothing will get past this guy a footballing Rottweiler. Barcelona and Argentina star - Javier Mascherano (Liverpool)

One of the best wingers in the Prem, every club wants him - Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)


@OnlyOne

 

[OnlyOne]

Consistent, legacy, captain, ugly, warrior, longevity. Partners Terry very well.



Philip Jagyelka please (Everton)

@GDeep™

 

[GDeep™]

Johnny Evan’s at West Brom, one of the best in the league.

@UpTheGunnerz

Where’s my tag Lebowski



Joel Matip




@JMB

 

[JMB]

Joleon Lescott (Everton)

No bullshit defender, Everton Player of the Season (06 & 07) and eventual 2 time Premier League winner.

@Oxeki

 

[Rex Caudillo]

@Oxeki asked me to pick Danny Rose for him. Absolute knobhead but a good choice at this stage tbf.

@Sapient Hawk and randomiser you guys go.

 

[A_G]

Here comes the randomiser for @Sapient Hawk …

Stefan Postma, Aston Villa

In goal for Sapient Hawk FC



What is he best known for, you ask?


@The Ducking Duck

 

[The Ducking Duck]

Rafael van der Vaart. 40 goals/assists in 2 Premier League seasons with Sp**s from this fat piece of shìt.



--------

Graeme Le Saux (BIackburn). This man, who played more than 40 times for England, was a key part of the BIackburn team that won the Premier League in the 94/95 season and was named in the PFA Team of the Year twice during his career.
He is one of the defenders with the most assists in the Premier League history.



@albakos

 

[albakos]

Next up is a true menace of a striker, someone that will put fear into the hearts of opposition when on tunnel.

Romeo Lukaku, Everton

++++

Next one is a left back who had a gem of a left foot, his crossing and free kicks are stuff of streets-won't forget. Lukaku will be feasting on the crosses from Beckham, Trent and my next pick

Aleksandar Kolarov, Man City

Yea, I may hate him, but he adds incredible quality and strength to my left side.


@2Smokeyy @Clrnc your 10 minutes start now !!!

 

[2Smokeyy]

Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink (Leeds)



Very underrated striker and has been slept on here. Had a filthy strike and bagged 31 G/A winning the golden boot at Leeds.

Brad Friedel (Blackburn)

Solid keeper particularly during his Blackburn years.

@A_G

 

[A_G]

Harry Maguire, Leicester City



Another colossus in the centre of defence

Luke Shaw, Southampton



One of the most promising LB’s in world football before Lewis Vangle bullied him which led to out of control comfort rating

@RunTheTrap

 

[RunTheTrap]

Give me Livramento at Newcastle (ignore the gif I couldn't find a pic that showed on this forum) Very very good player when fit.

And give me Mark Schwazar at Fulham to round things off

Ben Chilwell, Leicester City



@Sulosky

 

[Sulosky]

As the goalkeeper Jussi Jaaskelainen (Bolton). And I managed to stumble my way to finishing the XI.

@Tir Na Nog

 

[Tir Na Nog]

If you can't get Peter go for his son


@RunTheTrap

 

[RunTheTrap]
