Association Football Draft

[Matteh]

All the other sports are having one....

I propose 1986 - Present due to '86 being a World Cup year.

All those wanting in, pipe up.

[marc71178]

I'll give it a go.

 

[Uppercut]

Yeah, in.

 

[BoyBrumby]

I'll have a go, but 86 seems a bit random. What about Premiership players only? Or failing that, from 66 onwards.

 

[Jarquis]

In, agree with Brumby's point about Premiership years myself. Happy with 86 though.

 

[Matteh]

Chose 86 because the AFL/Rugby ones were 1987 and 86 made more sense so we could include stars of that World Cup. For example, a good Maradona not the one that was done for drugs in 94 or was average in Italia 90.

The late 80s is about right given the average age of the forum for most people to have seen or know of a large amount of players.

I'd be tempted by Premiership players only, but that would rule out Chris Greenacre.

 

[Magrat Garlick]

Or failing that, from 66 onwards.

Fog in Channel; Continent Cut Off

Don't hate me because I've been blessed with god's greatest gift.

You shall be the 11th.

Last place up for grabs and then i'll randomise an order.

 

[The Sean]

Are there any requirements or restrictions on formation or positions, or can we just pick any player for any position from 1986-onwards?

 

[Matteh]

Reasonable formations. Noone's going to begrudge a 3-5-2 but 2-3-5 is stretching it somewhat.

 

[Simon]

In if theres a spot left.

 

[Matteh]

We have our 12. Any player from 1986 - Present available.

Standard 12 hours to tip in before it gets passed on.
