I think we should extend it to 12 rounds.

 

Still loads of great films. 

 

It has dragged a little at times already with really long waits between picks as people are tied up with work or whatever, or cannot check what has already been picked. Best to leave it at 11 picks and then get ready for voting.

I vote we do another round. Not arsed about the waiting. It’s not as if we’ve got anything better to do TLW-wise, we’ll only be posting shit in other threads.

 

I wouldn't have minded picking another film or two but it's simply because it can drag a bit while waiting for others to have their turn. That's why it is best that we stop at 11 now that we're all here.

 

When the 80s draft idea was first mooted, I made a suggestion to not pick any 80s films that were chosen in the other draft. While it was agreed not to run with that idea, I decided to try and follow it anyway simply because the 80s has such rich pickings. Therefore, all of my choices are films that hadn't been chosen for the previous film draft. I think it's a strong and varied selection.

4-3-3

 

Channeling Gianluigi Buffon, I've got an ageless Italian in between the sticks. A solid centre back pairing with some grit, flanked by two runners on the outside. Aggression in the centre of midfield, but balanced alongside a couple capable of a lighter touch.

 

Up front you've got flair on the wings, and if the ball ends up anywhere near the area it'll be slotted away by a number 9 who can finish with his eyes shut.
