Anyone else feel kinda disappointed looking at the names so far and thinking, that's the best the Prem has to offer?

I was certainly disappointed I couldn't really come up with a better striker at the ninth pick. The top 8 didn't even all go for strikers!

Same thoughts GF. It was clear as day PL has a shortage of talent after the first few picks. Top 5 picks got good advantage already.

Whether or not Negredo was even the best striker available is debatable to me. I think Rex would've been better off filling in some other position. I still think there's a lot of untapped value available.

Of course there is, but strategically thinking I think it is important to get as good a striker on board as possible. After all, the point is to convince the other participants that your team will beat the other teams. Then we also, naturally, over value Arsenal players on here, sooo...

Yeah, I understand that completely but I just think that the particular striker that I'm thinking of seems likely to be available later on. That assumption might be wrong though.

Again, this isn't really about how good the players really are; it is about how good those who are going to vote think they are. At this point in time, Negredo's stock is high. #defendingmypick

Think Rex is right. Negredo's been a big matchwinner since he's been in the Prem, and that's what you need more than anything at this point. Mata's maybe the only player you would pick instead but he's been frozen out for the last 6 months.

You'll end up reaching for certain positions (Striker) because of short numbers, and then others (CM) will be easier later.

Wait, did the Foreskin talk about a player BEFORE he was picked? Dules, is that really allowed?!

I know he had been picked.

question, PL players on loan in another league qualify for the draft?

Good question.

Very subtle.

Fuu... No, I don't think they should.

Don't think they should count.

Clever though, the player you're thinking of would be a cracking pick!

What about players who transfer out this window?

how the heck hasn't Silva been taken?
