The pace is pretty hot, I might even get a pick today at this rate!
Iāve got pics for eggs if it gets to him again today. Pm me on here if itās his turn. Cheers

Another one down.
@Ivan you are up.
You just took one of my 3 options off the table. I have to flip a coin a few times

Really agonised over that one. It broke two rules, stick to your strategy (Darcey Cameron was my original target at this selection) and kps are last resort.
There is too much upside in Bruce to ignore though with an improving midfield in front of him and the forwards left on the table thinning rapidly I was ultimately swayed.
Reckon youāve made very good choices so far redbull.
Preferably cut that out, so I still have some guys left to pick at 122.

Here I was thinking you didnāt like key position players as fantasy options! Maybe @Pazza was onto something after all.
Thanks mate. Fingers crossed you prove to be right.
Coming into the draft in the 30s and having a number of picks close together actually isnāt that bad a thing. Clearly all the gun kids are gone so its just a matter of choosing between known qualities (ie Howlett and Sinclair) and those with most upside (like Howe and Newman). The other important factor I find is trying to nail blokes who will get games early. Back a couple of years ago I got burnt time and time again going with large upside players with little or no job security.
Bruce scored better in 15 than last year and obviously the saints have improved since then. My guess is his ceiling will increase this year. He may ultimately be a guy I bring in for games where he is likely to pad his numbers against weak defences.
He also gives me guaranteed forward cover in a forward line that is light on for certain starters at this point.
I can see the draft is starting to head towards kps at this point so grabbing arguably the best kpf left on the table seemed acceptable.
From a structural point of view an RF would have been better but seeing as Iām not top 4 bound anyway it is probably less important (though that goes against my instincts).
I have a break now until 92 so I will be interested to see if the other side of the coin toss is still there. Iāll be surprised fwiw

Appreciate the posting of my pick @redbull
Just for info, Iām on day shifts all week and there will be periods for a few hours where i donāt have access to a PC or details about whose recently been picked etc so please be patient with me.
It also feels good picking up a player that someone else was looking at, sorry @ivan, half the time it feels like everyone else is not even considering the picks i make!

Gobsmacked he was still there (or indeed, there at all).

The only reason I didnāt take him in the 30s is because Iām fantasy kp fascist. But I couldnāt say no at 56. Honestly though I reject the previous selections a number of times to make sure my spreadsheet was right and he was available

While he was never my player not really all that surprising as his average last 2 years of 67.9 and 60.7 are not really anything outstanding and in a 20 man keeper league very easy to see why someone would have to delist him.
After his performance against Carltank on the weekend I thought he might have snuck into @TrevorBixās keepers.
wth is @SillyBilly?
His number on PBWorks is out of date - I have emailed and PMed him. He was going to update his number but he hasnāt done it yet.
I may have a different email address. I will send him a reminder
