Draft Thread: Who wants their squad first?

Here we go. Squads of 25, with at least 3 goalkeepers. Bear in mind injuries and suspensions will occur so you need a balanced squad. Also consider that this game is slightly out-dated, so some youngsters like Macheda will not rated as highly as they would be today, whilst some of the older players might be closer to their prime.

The randomised order is:

1. Hybrid
2. Incey
3. Boy Blunder
4. Theo/MightyPies
5. Gazza/Arheiner
6. Eds
7. Julian
8. SM
9. Stormer/Farhat
10. Jabba
11. Marcuss
12. Chris

So once we get to Chris we reverse the order and continue back up. Hybrid up first.

Much appreciated. Everyone else should note this example.

I've not put a time limit on selections yet because they could have a big impact in the end, but if it's dragging out unnecessarily long I'll have to change that.

 

WOOHOOOO

 

Feel free.

That'd be ideal.

C'd.

 

I need a bit of time to set things up anyway. And I planning on chasing up a lot more people to pm.
