CW Premier League - Draft Thread (Slight changes - see OP)
No point in waiting, this will take quite a while anyway so I may as well get this started now whilst I sort out all the other stuff and while I'm less busy.

Code:
EDIT: You can now take any player your heart desires. They will perform to the standard you'd expect them to if they played a game right now.
There are a few little oddities in the database as far as I can tell but that should be ironed out soon enough.

When we go to sim matches, the players are weighted according to whether they've done well in Tests, who and where they've done well against and quite critically how long ago (ie how long before March 2011 since that's when all the stats are from) they did well. So don't expect Glenn McGrath to be the Glenn McGrath of yore.

Gonna use big font for titles so I can see where rounds end easily when I'm scrolling.

Gogogo.

Feel free to give your team a name, by the way. I have. Teams are here for everyone to keep track of (easier this way IMO)

How many hours before someone is skipped? Cevno should be skipped on principle for...well, being Cevno.
