All-time Footballing Duos & Partnerships draft



- 5 rounds + a bonus wildcard round. On each turn you pick two footballers who have formed a partnership together at one stage in their career. i.e. Dalglish & Rush, Robben & Ribery, Terry & Carvalho & Cech etc. Note: Goalkeepers MUST be picked with your CB partnership.

- The standard picking format will look something like this (in any order you choose): | GK + CB + CB | LB + RB | DM/CM + DM/CM | LW + RW | ST/SS + ST | . But you can link partnerships from any areas of the field provided they make sense*: LW + LB | RW + RB | DM/CM + AM/FW | RW + ST | LW + ST | . If in doubt you may PM me in confidence.

*A right back and a left winger are not likely to have created a partnership!

- Both club AND national teams are allowed.

- Only one pick per era based team: i.e. If you pick Dalglish & Rush, you would then rule out Hansen & Lawrenson from the same Liverpool team, but not Masch & Alonso who played in a completely different Liverpool team/era.

- You must create your team in one of these set formations: 442 wide, 442 diamond, 4231, or 433. Using 3 or 5 at the back will make things too complicated unfortunately.

- Please remember that your goalkeeper MUST be picked at the same time as your two centre backs.

Romario and Michael Laudrup

If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.
