SG Draft 2017 - official sign up thread

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I sent Arnau my picks!!!

I should have told you guys to PM him when my turn comes but no one PMed me anyway.

You're a victim of your past reputation. Shit in my hat many times and don't be surprised when I come blaming you if there is shit in my hat.

Finally someone picked Busquets. How the fuck he lasted so long is beyond me.

Because most people try to get the attacking players first. We are in the 3rd round and only 2 DMs have been selected so far (Busquets and Casemiro). Worldclass DMs are hard to find so I'm glad I selected the best one in the 3rd round.

You'll get a lot of support from me for Kane - don't know what the Euro-weenies think of him though.

I don't know but Kane was the best striker available when I picked (Costa was still available). Tottenham racked up an impressive 86 points this season and Kane scored 34% of Tottenham's goals.

I don't understand this. I am usually one of the most reliable / punctual drafters.

You have a long history of being online but not making a pick - you even explained once that you like to think about your decision and who you want to pick after your turn comes up, which is even more infuriating than not showing up at all.

Wrt to strikers, I actually think that's one of the positions you can get away with a merely solid/average player so long as you have enough creative talent putting the ball in.

There is one huge name attacking player I am amazed has not gone yet.

Kante has gone too. I think a lot of us are concerned by the fact that this season has a pattern of quality creative midfielders and forwards being liberated by reliable DMs behind them (see chelsea, real Madrid) whereas others have been constrained by lack of these players (pogba) - we don't want to subject ourselves to this criticism in the draft, which is why we have been anxious to get a quality DM locked down.

That's the thing - I always leave my PC on and usually do not sign off of SG. Often SG is left open and SG mistakenly say that I am online when I'm not.

Choosing my pick after my turn has happened a few times but not that often! It has happened when I did not expect it to be my turn so quickly.

Right here waiting.....

Nope. If you are average Up front you wont score to anyone, look at Atleti and Man United. Real Madrid have a lot of talented midfielders but at the end of the day It was Ronaldo who beat Bayern, Atlético and Juventus.

1 pick during the last 12 hours...are you fucking shitting me

But the other striker was benzema and he was irrelevant.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

It's SKIPPING time.

Cdiccio clock is down to 5 hours.

 

[fender]

It was a toss up between Vertonghen and a CM which i'm pretty sure will be gone soon. Favoritism won.

 

[poet11]

By the look of things half of my picks have been taken and theres still some time for it to come to me .

No tipping.

Would have taken him if xif.... Chunga... drafted verratti.

I consider verratti a dm, btw. He is positionally disciplined and is always the furthest player back

I would like to say that an American has potential to be an utter **** and sometimes they fulfill that potential.

 

[Sir Didier Drogba]

I'm delighted to get Bellerin. I have always been a big fan, and having watched the FA cup final I am convinced he will be the next Bale/Ronaldo... and sooner rather than later. If I had to take one player from arsenal for Chelsea it would not be Sanchez, it would be Bellerin.

I actually expected xifio to beat you to Veratti. I like his pick though.
