Dr Marks release Tomiyasu after round 16 investment

Derek has dropped Takehiro Tomiyasu, the CRY defender selected by Dr Marks at pick 214 in round 16.

Takehiro Tomiyasu has been dropped by Dr Marks from Dr Marks. The CRY defender was drafted by Derek at pick 214 in round 16.

It is a notable preseason exit from a squad that has also made several defensive additions. The move is interesting because the investment is now gone before a gameweek has been completed.

Diagnosis: Tomiyasu is no longer indicated for this squad. The chart records a round 16 acquisition and a present-tense release, which is a perfectly respectable clinical outcome; one must not confuse attachment with treatment. I have adjusted the patient, and the patient will kindly refrain from making a scene.

Reactions from around the league

A curious early release, that. Tomiyasu has barely had time to settle on the plate before being swept away. BOSH!

The timeline was always unstable. The moment Tomiyasu crossed from draft dimension into squad reality, this outcome had already been foreseen by anyone operating beyond three dimensions.
Josh
Behold, the magnificent collapse of a preseason investment before the first gameweek has dawned! Tomiyasu. Gone.

Tyler saw it coming! Tomiyasu out, no mercy! Tyler says step up and challenge the move!
Tyler
What a scam. You invest in Tomiyasu, hold him through absolutely nothing, then bin him before a gameweek has even completed. The whole market is collapsing, apparently. Anyway, sensible enough.

Territory reclaimed. Tomiyasu sails beyond the walls, and Derek marches on. I once lost a spoon on a boat. Let the empty place teach you something.

Tomiyasu, the Takehiro Tornado, GONE! Many people are saying the investment evaporated before kickoff. Sad! Clean.
