SaintsCorner Posted 5 September, 2013 Share Posted 5 September, 2013 This is a plug, but one that's very relevant, & it's about PickOurTeam.com. PickOurTeam is a new type of football community which gives fans the opportunity to have a meaningful say on the formation and selection of their team. PickOurTeam aims to be the voice of fans – collecting their views on who should play where and ratings on how the players, manager and referee perform each week. PickOurTeam compiles the findings of every match and presents them back to the fans. The website has been running for a little over a year now & covers all the Premier League clubs- obviously including Southampton, for whom I'm one of the club editors. Before every match you can pick your Saints team (On a pitch, so useful for print screening & sharing elsewhere.), hence the website's name, & after every match you can rate the players, manager & referee. For doing this you also earn ePoints, which can be cashed in for over 2 million rewards ranging from baby shoes to iPods. You can also have your say in comments sections & join the debate on Twitter as each team has its own Twitter account; ours is @PickSouthampton. As well as the opportunities for you to contribute, the site also features loads of top articles. My fellow club editors & I write articles regularly about our clubs (I've written tonight about how Gastón Ramírez can solve Saints' lack of creativity (http://pickourteam.com/premierleague/news/05-09-2013/ramirez-can-be-southamptons-creative-hub/845826), for example.), & there are really good columns from professional journalists like Jonathan Wilson, James Horncastle, Fernando Duarte, Miguel Delaney, Michael Cox, Mohamed Moallim & many more. It really is a unique site that offers you the chance to get involved as well as read some excellent articles & earn along the way. We also have a smartphone app which makes all of the above even easier to do. Would be great if more people could have a look at it & get involved! Thanks.

cellone Posted 5 September, 2013 Share Posted 5 September, 2013 Had a look and it looks like a bit of fun although I don't gamble. Chose my line up but I think 3 on the bench is a bit tight. Would be more fun if you could shape your formation aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SaintsCorner Posted 23 October, 2013 Author Share Posted 23 October, 2013 A load of stuff has gone up since I last publicised the site- like a piece on Lallana's good form (http://pickourteam.com/premierleague/southampton/news/23-10-2013/lallana-finally-hitting-top-form/852614) & his amazing Cruyff turn, as well as why Pochettino deserves credit for our impressive defence (http://pickourteam.com/premierleague/news/03-10-2013/pochettino-deserves-credit-for-saints-defence/849908) & some stuff on Wanyama (http://pickourteam.com/premierleague/news/14-10-2013/wanyama-showing-some-good-signs/851307). zonalmarking.net's Michael Cox also wrote something quite good about Ramírez (http://pickourteam.com/premierleague/news/26-09-2013/cox-ramirez-can-solve-southamptons-problems-going-forward/848731). The player ratings are quite interesting- Lovren's the highest-rated Saints man with an average of 88.7, just 0.1 better than Clyne! onte Schneiderlin & Shaw complete the top five. This powerful piece (http://pickourteam.com/premierleague/news/23-10-2013/everton-and-villa-park-and-hillsborough-and-me/852594) by one of the Everton editors on Hillsborough & Villa Park is also well worth checking out.
