[weeman27bob]

Think it's always going to be a problem when you have lots of people in a draft that's restricted in some way.

Also, loving the fact I have a balanced team.

No offence GI Joe, but this draft was a bad idea. It looked interesting in theory, but it needs some changes for it to work. It's just too reliant on luck.

 

[uvelocity]

I'm really out of ideas. Except batsman, a few I'd love to pick

Kamral Akmal (keeper) Lance Corporal Granite Hands

No offence GI Joe, but this draft was a bad idea. It looked interesting in theory, but it needs some changes for it to work. It's just too reliant on luck.

Most of the problems arose around halfway into the draft, at the start it ran well so I don't think you can blame Joe for running it. You always have to try something to find out if it works regardless.

I'm really out of ideas. Except batsman, a few I'd love to pick

You win my votes
