Cool, my idea was to do it like normal from Round 1 anyway but it seemed the Random #1 pick was liked.  :wave

I will give the possible newbie drafter till midnight to confirm  if he wants to play or not.  Then I'll do the selection order draw and we can begin in the morning or whenever.  :wave

We're going with 14 it looks like.  :wave

Do we know if Lastrador is *ahem* able to post? He went pretty hard on the Welsh last night, he might have pulled a Lobo  8)
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.

If everyone picks the 90s/00s stalwarts and I go last, I can just replicate a great team from the 70s and have no peril whatsoever. :D

Do they have to have played together at club level, or can you have international too?

You'd better hope the 13th pick had a really long career to be able to do that ;D

Have I misunderstood or you make your own first pick and then your next pick must have played with that player, and so in. So whoever DS has picked is irrelevant for you.

That’s a nice change, thought Linudden was going straight for me then.

I know I didn’t have to pick Ronaldo, just never got him in a draft and he’s one of my favourite ever players.

Next draft should be what Linudden thought this one was.  You have to pick a player who played with the previous pick.

Would be carnage.
