I'll get this going tomorrow. Anyone can join up until then. 

[Red House]

Looks like a tricky one. Add me in if you need a 10th team.

[The Golden Eel]

I had a quick gander at this last night as I actually have more time over this next week or so, but it looks really tough. Might be an idea to bring the debut year back a bit earlier?

How do you mean? 1985 or 1995? I think stick with 90. If its tough so be it. No international rules or anything else. Simply vowels only debut on or after 1/1/1990 ? 

 

Give me an hour ill run with it. Dim unless you reply i'm gonna throw you in so we now have 11 

[The Golden Eel]

Yeah I'll give it a whirl. I was thinking like 80 or 85. It'll still be tough (but I personally think better) at that with 11 people in but I'll play anyway if it's 90. 

[John102]

I plan to stick to the original rules.

 

Like in the rhythmic gymastics, please take this dificulty score into account later on. 

[Sugar Ape]

Go on then. 

[Sugar Ape]

FG isn’t playing is he?

[aRdja]

what’s the hold up @Bjornebye?

[3 Stacks]

If we're doing only after '90, and we're 10-11, they'll be some average players picked near the end, but if that's the way you want it, it's fine. 

[aRdja]

I have 40 players lined up already.

[3 Stacks]

Also, would you count "Y" as a vowel? @Bjornebye

[Sugar Ape]

What are we doing with Brazilians etc... just going by the name they are most known by, for example Pele wouldn’t be eligible but his real name is Edson Arantes do Nascimento. I think you should have to go by the name they’re most known as.

FFS Rapey, I had Kaka lined up as one of my early picks!

[Sugar Ape]

Probably be for the best dropping the professional debut to 1985 or something as well so we get some of the great 90s players.

I don’t think I could be arsed doing it if you can start picking people like Kaka and Cafu based on their full names. Should just be the name they played under imo. 

[Lee909]

Thought Stig said it's the name they are known by.

Yeah I did. 

 

I will make the debut day 1/1/1985 

 

I'll start it now

Y would it?

Good pun, like, but Y is sometimes considered a vowel, sometimes not. Do you want to consider it a vowel?

No I fucking well don't mate. Because it isn't. 

 

Anyway you are up first fella. Oh and any chance of the lowdown on Teji Savanier at Nimes?

Yeah, that's what I was saying. 

 

On the Y thing, I remember this from Sporcle, think it's an American thing.
