HFBoards' 2018 Fantasy Football Draft Discussion Thread

[The Abusement Park]

I wonder if Richarlison would have been picked if not for last game. Hence why I didn't want the draft to start too late or drag on for too long.

I think if he still played for watford I wouldn’t have picked him. But I like his potential and think that a club like Everton is a good fit for him and he should do well there.

 

[Live in the Now]

He was going to be my last pick.

 

[YNWA14]

Go f*** yourself @Halladay

 

[Gecklund]

Go **** yourself @Halladay

That escalated quickly.

 

[les Habs]

Yeah, go **** yourself @Halladay . I was going to take Gimenez with my next pick since he'd dropped this far.

 

[Gecklund]

Is @Live in the Now skipped? I think it's been 10 hours.

 

[les Habs]

10 hours is the limit so whoever is up can go next. I'm sure @Live in the Now will be on soon either way.

 

[Live in the Now]

Yeah, that was a bad time for me to be picking. Will pick shortly.

 

[YNWA14]

Sessegnon was already taken @Wee Baby Seamus

My bad! Will fix now

Welp, pretty happy with my team.

Reus - Firmino - Bale
Ozil - Anderson
Busquets
Gaya - van Dijk - Lovren - TAA
Neuer​

Promes, Sarr, Nkunku, Aouar, Goretzka, Vidal, Neves, Ghoulam, Zouma, Retsos

Firmino, Anderson, Busquets and van Dijk insulate Ozil without stifling creativity for Bale, Reus and Firmino to lacerate defences while Busquets, van Dijk, Lovren and Neuer form an impressive defensive diamond at the back that can help cover for the forward thinking play of Gaya and TAA. Multiple players on the bench could even oust starters pretty easily (Aouar, Promes, Vidal, Neves, Ghoulam and even Zouma on form are all capable of being great). I also like the future potential of some of the guys like Sarr, Nkunku, Aouar, Goretzka, Neves, Zouma and Retsos.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

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

Bench: Pulisic, Martial, Dahoud, Rüdiger, Tah, Ünder, Talisca, Dier, Grimaldo, Tete​

 

[Venkman]

Thought about Theo for my backup LB. Went with Augustinsson as he's an already developed defensively solid option to come in for Mendy.

 

[les Habs]

I'm sure I'll get some schtick for taking Mai here. I actually spent more time mulling this pick over than a lot of other picks. I was thinking of multiple options too, Mai being the least proven, but I think I can afford to take him here.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Isn't the limit 10 hours?

 

[les Habs]

@Vasilevskiy was PMed for the record, but I think he's taken the European Super Cup loss kinda hard.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

My squad is finished.

Paul Pogba-Marcelo Brozovic-Radja Nainggolan
Aleksander Kolarov-David Alaba-Jose Gimenez-Sergi Roberto
Anthony Lopes

Jose Callejon-Radamel Falcao-Federico Bernadeschi
Hakan Calhanoglu-Lucas Tousart-Morgan Sanson
Jorge-Inigo Martínez-Joris Gnagnon-Alessandro Florenzi

[The Abusement Park]

Shit. I don’t think I drafted two goalies.

 

[Theon]

Kane
Insigne - Isco - Sterling
Fabinho - Hamsik
Alex Sandro - Skriniar - Alderweireld - Odriozola
Kepa

Rashford - Higuain - Suso
Golovin - Doucoure - Tielemans
Theo - Lindelöf - Romagnoli - Mukiele
Navas
​

I thought Vinicius was picked already (confused him with Rodrygo), so not having him on my team is pretty much my only regret of this draft. Also very meh about Suso, but there were hardly any better RWs left at that point.

Open to trading any of my bench players if anyone's interested btw.
