SG Draft 2017 - official sign up thread

Someone update the first page. Who's turn is next?

Some of us old timers are friends on Facebook and it makes it pretty convenient for sharing picks, notifying when their turn it up, talking when the site is down etc. I don't want to post my full name here, but you all know it and I have a black and white pic, also you all know Shifty full name, so please add one of us as a friend if you use FB.

Can't find Reitz on FB - soooo many D Reitz living in Germany

One week and the forum still works like shit. Well done, SG!

For any future drafts, including the main draft next year (if there is one), membership of the Facebook group will be mandatory, so please get in now so we can get used to it.

Who's turn is it?

Jabo's going by the postings, PM sent.

edits are working again so front page is up to date

Figured the GK run is starting, so should get one now. Wanted Courtois if I'm honest.

Roberto was on my radar for RWB, but thought the Barca fans were lukewarm on him.

Valencia would be perfect for RWB. He has been fantastic this season. He was wasted at RW for years at Man U. He has the stamina, athleticism, speed and strength to cover the whole right wing. He defends well too. Sergi Roberto would have been really poor in this position.

Valencia been soo good Mourinho is going to sign another RB

Roberto is a decent backup for RB but he is a midfielder

As backup for Valencia, why not?

Valencia is ok but he can only run. Not good under pressure, not good in closed spaces and doesnt understand a shit.

Who wants my pick?

There is a real shortage of great RBs at the moment. Roberto is definitely in the top tier, in the right system, and is versatile, as you point out. He was not someone I was planning on, but when I started to think about RBs, there were not too many I would prefer to him.

Dytza, go

Yeah, but after reading the latest Pep book, that might be a good thing. He likes fullbacks who are midfielders, not the classic run all day beasts.
