HFBoard's 2022 Fantasy Draft: Pre-Draft & Discussion

[Savant]

Now you lot just need you phones to get a function that keeps you from making shitty picks.

That’s a UI/UX problem.

 

[Venkman]

Can someone pick for me? Hopefully keep the draft going.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Can someone pick for me? Hopefully keep the draft going.

I can pick for you if needed.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

I can pick for you if needed.

shouldn't you be out celebrating?

 

[The Abusement Park]

shouldn't you be out celebrating?

I’m recovering from said celebration

 

[Venkman]

I can pick for you if needed.

Depends how sober you are after last night. I'll send a list.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Depends how sober you are after last night. I'll send a list.

I’m only browning out at this point

 

[les Habs]

shouldn't you be out celebrating?

They haven’t signed Frenkie yet.

 

[The Abusement Park]

They haven’t signed Frenkie yet.

Oh yeah. United. That’s certainly on the back burner at the moment.

 

[Gecklund]

Oh yeah. United. That’s certainly on the back burner at the moment.

Damn I wish United was my least successful team I support:
Clippers: didn’t make the playoffs
Sharks: REALLY didn’t make the playoffs
United: At least are playing in Europe kind of

Was not a good year of sports for me

At least I have the Sounders winning the CCL and eventually the MLS cup!

This is the first good/great sports year I’ve had in god knows how long? I guess the Mou EL win would be the closest? It’s been a great way to distract myself from what a clown show United has been lately.

I had my nightmare treble from the start of 2013 to the end of 2015 with Liverpool, the Rangers and the Mets all finishing 2nd and continuing their long title droughts. Only Liverpool has saved my sanity. I think that’s worse honestly.

 

[Evilo]

Basketball team second
Handball team champion
Volleyball team champion
Football team WC champs

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Basketball team second
Handball team champion
Volleyball team champion
Football team WC champs

You watch a lot of handball?

 

[Evilo]

Big event only. I love the sport, but don't follow the league. Same for volleyball.

 

[Paulie Gualtieri]

Draft is officially over.

In hindsight it maybe should've been shorter.

Bit surprised by the lack of discussion compared to previous years.

 

[Gecklund]

Pretty happy with my team overall

Coman-Schick-Messi
SMS-Locatelli-FdJ
Shaw-Torres-Tapsoba-Mukiele
Oblak

Werner-David-Oyarzabal
Aouar-Haidara-Lemar
Wijndal-N’Dicka-Soyuncu-Dalot
Henderson

Pape Sarr, Pavard​

 

[robertmac43]

I'd personally have JD starting over Shick

 

[Gecklund]

I'd personally have JD starting over Shick

I mean Schick had 31 goals in 40 games across all comps. I think him and Coman give Messi and FdJ the space to work whereas I don’t think David provides enough of a pure goal scoring threat. Although I am debating switching Oyarzabal or Lemar and Coman to give a little more creativity in that front 3.

Well it should’ve definitely been shorter, but not because of the amount of rounds.

Lack of discussion might be down to people not making a lot of ridiculous comments to back their ridiculous picks. The picks are there, just not the comments.

don’t think he’s being serious

Lack of discussion for me because I was on vacation for two weeks of it. And the time between picks was way too long.

 

[les Habs]

So I’d have something lIke this:

Darwin
Dumbappe - Pellegrini - Dumbele
Gravenberch - Camavinga
Digne - Pique - Araujo - Dodo
Ter Stegen
​

Bench: Adeyemi, Ferran Torres, Antony, Brandt ,Soler, Pablo Torre, Kovacic, Sangare, Sergio Gomez, Inacio, Rudiger, Malo Gusto, Onana

—Bench is strong enough you could make a case for some of them to start.
—Flexibility is there to go 4-3-3, 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 as well.
—Front three had a combined 55 goals and 34 asssists in 73 league starts last season and another 12 goals and 14 assists in 15 starts in Europe. Throw Pellegrini in and you get another 9 goals and 5 assists in 27 league starts.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I have no clue how to get it to align properly, but this would how my team.

Ansu Fati-Ronaldo-Foden
Pogba
Kimmich-Kante
Nuno Mendes-Bastoni-Gimenez-Carvajal
Kobel

Bench: Rodrygo, Danjuma, Abraham, Reyna, Tielmans, Di Maria, Akanji, Dest, Angelino, St. Juste, Meslier, Sinisterra, ZIelinski​

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

Leao (Pedro Neto) - Osimhen (Scamacca/Haller) - Neymar (Berardi)
Mount (Sucic) - B. Silva (Sanches)
Tchouameni (Jorginho/Phillips)
Chilwell (Raum) - Schlotterbeck (Kalulu) - Bremer (Bonucci) - Walker (Lamptey)
Mendy (Bounou)
​

Very happy with how this turned out, think I might've won this one.

 

[Savant]

@Wee Baby Seamus I think you did a great job this year
