Otherwise you'd say mata is a duff pick

Isn't it a current season draft? Then what is the point of us considering their injuries and form if its all about them being just who they are when they are fit and available?

Which is why I thought Mata was a bad pick.

You should know volly there's only 4 people in the mod section so you might want to take your source with a pinch of salt.

Damn thought i might get Fernandinho. Kind of regretting not picking Kos instead of Kompany tbh but meh not much in it. Kos might have been easy to find a partner for though. No idea who i'm picking next.

Its a current draft not a current season draft....the latter is much too complicated, you'd end up rating Negredo ahead of Van Persie for example which is just silly. Just rate the players like you normally would.

Seeing as I picked Van Snake I thought I'd better get in and say I agree with Armor.

Looks like Kami is sweating, i'm expecting a choke

is nicky butt is still on the board?

walcott was the guy i was thinking of picking in round 1 but saw a lot of names below him that i would've been ok getting. feel like i'm in the same position now. everyone looks like an overdraft, but it's like 29 picks before i get to select again...

Quite please with my two picks, two top class players through the spine.

went with shinji - he can still do what he did at dortmund, which is wreak havoc through the middle with his off the ball movement and combination play. great workrate. if you took some technique off ozil but added goalscoring appetite, that's kagawa.

as for gerrard, he has 6 assists from a deeper role and can convert freekicks/pens. he's still good, just different from what he was in his 20s.

Went for Carrick - best CM in the league last season.

Kagawa was under consideration definitely. Thought he could possibly be a 3rd round steal. Never mind, got some kwality lined up.

Think rounds 4 and 5 will decide the draft. All good picks so far.

Kami's taking the piss. Kagawa is rubbish in the PL.

He cant even get time ahead of Ashley Young.

A year and a half on and he's still having massive issues adjusting to the league.

He's a shit left winger, and Moyes has mismanaged him.

If he was at Arsenal we'd love him.
