Hurling dream team - backs

Might lump them in with the midfielders - 16 points to pick three.

Leave this one alone, good to see teams lads come up with.

You could go GK, MF & Forwards individually.

I’ve gone for a Derek McGrath type backline, 30 points exactly, difficult to get through that defense.

I will throw the goalies in with midfield as it is pointless doing it for goalies alone. Everyone will just take a top one. Better craic having to choose between a rolls Royce midfield and Stephen brenner in goals or Damien Fitzhenry in the posts and Lorcan McLoughlin and Andy Smith midfield

Thought it was 50 points. Still would have went bust :grimacing:

Fine team - you can pick six lads out of the mullockers thread for the forwards to make up for the splurge

Build from the back. Need a good foundation

I was gonna pick a set of backs until I spotted that Pauric Maher costs the same amount of points as Sean McMahon.
