Football/soccer draft

[jimmy101]

Yeah fair enough. Let's just move on to the last round.

Happy to do so. But are you for/against Sledger's & Dan's picks?

 

[fredfertang]

Does this mean Robin Friday is now eligible by virtue of his appearance for a Walthamstow Avenue select XI?

 

[jimmy101]

Ok. After having a think, my final verdict is that sledger & Dan need to repick. AndrewB's Di Stefano selection will revert to an Argentine pick, & I think now we can finally move on to round 11.

 

[Dan]

Boo! If my back-up of David Silva (Canary Islands) is also invalid, I'll take Pogba (France).

I feel like I'm robbing you guys of all of this research. Kudos on having these aces up your sleeves. Guess David Silva would also be invalid by virtue of the same rule, so looks like you've netted Pogba.

Right-o, onto the final round. There will be no draft order, rather this is a free-for-all round which will commence in 12 hours.

Round 11 countdown

Once the countdown expires, the round will be live and anyone can make their pick when ready.

Sledger also has his R10 pick to catch up on (sorry!).

 

[Dan]

Couldn't find a way to confirm if David Silva actually played tbf. He was definitely called up in 2007, but can't find anything beyond the match existing to tell whether he actually accepted the call/played in the match.

 

[sledger]

Haha, will pick this up at the end, cbf to rethink things atm. Majority of my last few picks were premised on the belief that I'd be abe to have Lizarazu as Basque, would have picked pretty differently had I known.

 

[jimmy101]

Round 11 is now live.

I'll take Jan Cuelemans (Belgium) to finish off.

 

[OverratedSanity]

The countdown still shows 2 hours and 45 minutes left for me.

Yeah I kinda botched it by not checking the box which stops the countdown at zero.

2 hours and 50 minutes have actually elapsed since the countdown reached zero. And so the round is now live.

 

[OverratedSanity]

Ok, I'll take Ashley Cole. Which makes my final XI:

 

[jimmy101]

Great team & great use of that app OS.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Vincent Kompany (Belgium)

 

[fredfertang]

Denis Law (Scotland)

Denis Law (Scotland)View attachment 24136

Law is a nice pick to finish up with.

 

[mr_mister]

Sami Hyypia (Finland)






Bit of a funky formation, hard to fit in both Baggio and Zidane

 

[AndrewB]

George Weah (Liberia)

Final XI: Jennings; Thuram, Beckenbauer, Maldini, Krol; Xavi, Keane, Zico, Edwards; di Stefano, Weah

That's a badass team

 

[Dan]

Kyle Walker (England) rounds out my current players only squad.
