Hi all, Here is the gdoc with all the players taken up to now. I will update last thing at night so please check the last few picks as well, just in case. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/10jSXhTpJaOJOA7OiezpKvnYtuoOqka12AfhYHdqJef8/edit?usp=sharing If you click Control+f/Command+f and write in the search box, this will tell you if the player is already in a team.

He is a 'midfielder' though, I think that's what his nominal position would be, no?

A midfeilder is a midfielder an attacker is an attacker, I think we know the where the line is? Messi isn't a midfielder though he has played in midfield, Pogba isn't an attacker though he attacks, think of Gerrard/Lampard at the furthest end of what a midfielder is. I think it just comes down to groupthink.

No, but there could be, continue as you are for now and I’ll knock one up and share it online. Shouldn’t take too long. A quicker way would be to C&P in to word then con f this will search for you?

12 hrs seems fair, especially as ardja is in upsidesownland and he’s on a different time zone so will have obvious difficulties keeping up.

I’d say plow through, set a precedent!

I’m pretty sure you can watch the key games, I’m sure I could figure a system to watch the big ones collectively if people want that?

I genuinely despise the thick, entitled cunt. Has no place in the regional stationary sales office, let alone the highest office. He has no idea, is wilfully ignorant of brief, has no compassion or empathy, lacks any clear ‘ideas’, can not follow argument, let alone provide answers. Is a danger to those less well off as he has no idea how the world is or how it works outside of his drinking circle. He’s a fucking embarrassment to this country and is genuinely harming our position in the world as we’re a fucking laughing stock with this no mark, failed journalist, chancer holding any office.

Donburi bowls at Tsukiji fish market are genuinely amazing and to this day, and perhaps forever, my second favourite breakfast ever.

I set preferred formations in the database, you have four to choose from dozens, and these are placed in to the game along with tactical instructions etc, so they are stuck to as a team ‘philosophy’. I’ll get this from you at the end. I’m effectively creating your wishes in manager form and they will stick to it as they’re ‘you’. That make sense? The managers will have your ‘names’, unless you want that changed? You’ll not be sacked as I’ve set season expectations to ‘avoid relegation’ so theta the chairman’s requirements. All fan data has been set to loyalty overload, so, I think, we’re pretty much safe for the season. If it does happen though I can just reinsert you.

Yes, yes, that ok? You all have a team who train, scouts opposition and sets the minor stuff, you just need to do the ‘bigger picture’ The manager has stats for rotation and knowing when players are out of form so will move players around over the season to stop burn out and injuries etc. Everyone has the same settings for this, so it’s pretty equal. You can also choose your management character which will help/hinder.

Yeah, if he gets his arse in gear soon he can catch up.

@Mr Holliday Which random are you going for this time?

Pllan was I was going to stick Everton back in if anybody dropped out, but have them in massive debt and only with an u18's team.

@aRdja then tag the next person if you would @Street Preacher

Just seen Sir Rog has been online today, so fill your boots Ardja X2

In an hour he's had 24hrs to reply and hasn't to loads of tags. So, I think it fair to just get on with things then?

Sorry, mate, was genuinelly all done at random, you do have the benefit of it running backwards one the next round of picks time though, so with your attackers you get to choose two which will even it up to a degree.

Istvan's fist pick.

@aRdja Chosen as defender, sorry.

Already chosen @Karl_b

Executive decision. @The Golden Eel You're up, Rog goes to the back of the line...

He also chose Thiago as his first midfield pick, so there might be a theme...
