The Club x Club series turns to Nottingham Forest, and Karl, who volunteered for this one, thinks their assets are about to be badly undervalued. Glasner ball at Forest, with better players than he had at Palace, sets up a wing-back-and-defender goldmine that the lads reckon most drafters will sleep on.
They map it out. Where the first-round midfielder lands and the live debate over whether a deeper role dents his value, the wing-back the group would happily reach for and rates as the best of the rest at the back, and a run of centre-backs going almost undrafted that could all return value under a sit-deep, whip-it-in system. There's the Palace blueprint applied throughout, you want the defenders and the number tens, not the strikers, plus the eternal "who starts up front" question that all three would rather just avoid. Deep sleepers get their moment too: the World Cup breakout with numbers that don't back the hype, the returning loanees, and a couple of last-round fliers worth a watch-list slot.
The takeaway: any Forest defender is value this year, and the smart money is buried late in the draft. Timestamped to August 12th.
