If I'm allowed to pick now I'll go for George Lohmann (1886-1896).

[jimmy101]

Quite intrigued by this. Is there still room for one more? I don't mind going last and will even throw in a rare smiley face from me.

Sure Grumpy, you can join in. You'll just have to pick last in R1 & R2

[The Battlers Prince]

Arthur Shrewsbury snr (1881/82-1893)

 

[jimmy101]

As WG Grace once said:

"Give me Arthur!"

 

[OverratedSanity]

People can end up with some hilariously bad teams here if the year they're targeting only has one or two great players and the rest who debuted that year were spuds who retired before the year ended.

True that. I've noticed that 4 people so far will be selecting from 1899 in round 2 which will be very interesting to watch unfold. I have my thoughts on who is gonna choose who but I wont comment on that at this stage. You're doing pretty well yourself OS at the moment sitting pretty in 1902.

 

[The Battlers Prince]

I don't envy Grumpy, going last these first two rounds is a tough job

 

[mr_mister]

i'm pretty happy with my position tbh

Yeah you got the last guy who made it to 1899, so you don't qualify for feeling sorry for
