Is it 23 and under or 22 and under? 

I’m pretty sure James Milner played for England U21s until he was about 30, anything is debatable. 

[Captain Turdseye]

23 when the game starts, yeah?

[Bjornebye]

[Karl_b]

Sorry, had to work late and then had an appointment with Tony Soprano that I couldn't miss. Wadda ya gonna do?

[Lee909]

I'll PM off some picks in the morning if it's close to my pick as I'll be in bed till after 2pm. 

[Lee909]

Going to fire off the PMs for my Midfielders and defenders. 

I won't with the forwards as there are 7 picks and depending on who is pick will change my pick so you may have to wait on that one, ill be on by around 3pm or so

[Guest Alex_K]

Anyone have Lees defender?

Yeah, I do. Just give me a second to catch up and decide whether or not I’m gonna fuck him over like him and Sir Todger did to me. 

[Captain Turdseye]

Just looking at the MF draft. I’ve got an issue with Serge Gnabry getting picked. That’s just not cricket. 

[Captain Turdseye]

@Bruce Spanner Mediation please, before I offer Kuntstain a straightener.

He's got more of a claim the Kulusevski as he is actually a natural at MR & ML, but not CM so he is a midfielder of sorts.

 

For comparisson...

@Istvan Kuntstain

 

Outside. Now. 

[Allan]

@Bruce Spanner - A little update is needed in the selections spreadsheet, please.

 

You've popped Meslier in as my pick, but he belongs to Karl_b. I updated the GK selection thread for Karl, so I think that's where the confusion has come in.

@Captain Turdseye - did Lee ping you his mid pick as well?

No, just a couple of defenders. 

[Mr Holliday]

Would it not be better, for the midfielder or attacker debate to class ball winners and playmakers as midfielders, then inside forwards or out and out strikers as attackers. Wingers can just be down to how they’ll eventually want to set up their squad. 

[Lee909]

I think if this was done again I'd either draft Midfielders and forwards together Amd let people chose how they want to approach drafting or have it

 

Midfielder Central

Any DCM/CM/AM

 

Anyone who plays on the wing or as a 10 should go in with the forwards. Like if Coutinho who did play midfield for us for a while would be obviously a forward as he obviously spent far more of his career in the 10/LW role. Gnabry would be a forward as he plays in a 433 out wide, I mean how often do you see a traditional 442 winger like Giggs or Beckham these days

[Allan]

I think the easiest solution would have been that any player with the ST tag cannot be picked as anything other than an attacker.

 

If the player does not have the ST tag, then they could qualify as a midfielder.

Just popping in a link to the FMInside site as it's a fantastic resource for anyone who doesn't have the game.

Cheers for that, gives a great insight in to the best players, don't you want to win?

[John102]

I dont know if im misjudging this but a couple of teams seem to be designed for 5 years into the future, not 3.

 

I plan to win the first season, that comment throughout the rest of the game about how nobody now cares.

I have Buffon so that's a tad harsh. I was going to put U23 in a bracket next to his name as a joke but thought it might see CT off completely.

[Pidge]

Seriously? Why?
