HFBoards' 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Discussion Thread

[cgf]

Why the crazy formation? Who plays with 4 in the back nowadays?

Dele's not a great player, but he was good value where I selected him. I got him at the end of the fifth round. I know English players have overrated value usually, but a lot of websites have him as way more valuable than that. I also think he helps give me some more goals from CM that I won't get from Goetze. I was worried that you were going to take Zakaria before I did. After having de Jong picked one pick before me, I needed to make sure I didn't have the two DM's I wanted picked before I got one of them.

Nah, I've been debating Paredes or Torreira to be my 6 since I got Luka; thus the old-school formation

 

[The Abusement Park]

Has your LB been drafted yet? Don't remember him going.

Whoops

 

[Gecklund]

@VEGASKING good pick with Fornals. Was going to be my pick.

 

[VEGASKING]

I thought it might be a bit too early but I don't have any kind of ranking list going this year to see who all is dropping further than expected.

 

[Gecklund]

Currently trying to decide if I want to go with name or ability with my next picks

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Since I got Davies now I'm not too bothered that I traded Robertson.

 

[Gecklund]

Anyone going to be around for me to send a list in for my next two picks?

Hit me up

 

[The Abusement Park]

Oh FFS LITN that’s who I wanted.

 

[Live in the Now]

I'm waiting as long as possible to pick a keeper. Don't really see the point at this stage as it is massively unlikely anyone will take my choice.

Sorry to keep taking youngsters.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Cavani
Perisic - Griezmann - Di Maria
Pjanic - Kondogbia
Davies - Laporte - Hummels - Pereira
Ederson

Bench:
Pulisic

Onana to me was a bit of a breaking point for me. There's other keepers I love, but none who have both that upper echelon ability with the ball & exceptional shot-stopping who aren't also massively inexperienced.

I'm curious to see who you pick and if it's one of the guys I'm thinking about picking up to mentor/push Onana.

 

[les Habs]

We'll see if @Theon does what I think he's going to do.

Excellent team, but you'd better hope Kondogbia is running everywhere since Pjanic, Griez, Di Maria and Perisic aren't exactly stellar defensive players.

 

[Vasilevskiy]

Lots of very good players taken in a row.

Tielemans and Bernardeschi are excellent picks

 

[YNWA14]

Yes, I especially have always liked Bernardeschi though I think he could have gone somewhere better than Juve to continue his development into a top player. I just don't think Juve will give him enough minutes at this stage of his career.

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Bernardeschi has really stagnated since joining Juve, which is why I held off on him. Still buckets of potential though.

Belotti - Mbappe
Eriksen
Koke - Rakitic
J. Martinez
Azpilicueta - Caldara - Boateng - Meunier
Courtois

Subs:
Ndombele
Willian
​

Feeling good about my squad.

Your team looking quite better now

 

[Gecklund]

Happy to add Tousart who I’ve been looking at for a while. Currently my bench is Falcao-Bernardeschi-Tousart.

Considered him heavily when I took Ndombele, then figured I could probably snag Martinez a few spots later. Lovely pick.

I was about to take Ndombele when you took him. Tousart has been in consideration for every single one of my picks since you took Ndombele

 

[Evilo]

Many people have asked me about Tousard. As a pure 6, he's a great pick. Extremely underrated.

 

[YNWA14]

Ozil, Aouar and Goretzka are available for trade if anyone is interested.

 

[les Habs]

Sorry for the delay lads. I logged on just after work but my phone died. Logged onto my computer and picked as soon as I got home tonight.

Anyone on my squad is available for trade if anyone is interested, as is always the case.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Amazing that those two go back to back should've gone much earlier.
