O ye of little faith...

[Samie]

If Las is out of commission for a few days we move on. Lobo is up whenever he's back on.

[El Lobo]

So when we say played at club level, do they have to have literally played for the same club on the pitch at the same time, in a competitive game or not? Or for example what if Maradona have moved to Bordeaux in the summer that Zidane moved from Bordeaux to Juve, so they'd technically been at the same club at the same time but never played together?

[Drinks Sangria]

I think have to have shared a pitch together should be a prerequisite.

[El Lobo]

Yeah I presumed as much

[Drinks Sangria]

We are slow with this one!

[Sarge]

Someone pm please in work

[Hazell]

Someone pm please in work

Done. You sneaky so and so, that was my plan.

[vivabobbygraham]

Just clubs, right?

[Hazell]

Just clubs, right?

Yeah.

Just thinking about it l, the 11th pick is going to be a killer, if they have to have played with the first and the 10th pick.

[Sheer Magnetism]

I had someone else in mind if Cruyff had gone but I think he's a great halfway point between brilliance and connectivity.

I had two teams planned out, one needed Cruyff so I’m on plan B already.

[Samie]

Lastrador is out of commission for a few days. We'll skip him for now. 

[Crosby Nick]

Golden rule of RAWK - never upset the Welsh.

Which is why my first pick is Ethan Ampadu.

[Sheer Magnetism]

Did someone say you had to change clubs with each pick? I seem to remember that being a condition but it isn't on the Selection page.

[Samie]

That was a suggestion by Betty but we're not going with that. 

[El Lobo]

Nah I dont think it has to be a different club every time, that really would make it almost impossible once we get to the last round

[RobbieRedman]

Hazell said I could go as he will be a little while

[Betty Blue]

I think the issue right now is that people are just going to stay at their one club and hoover up every player they can from there with no-one stopping them. It's probably too late now, but there should have been a rule to at least change clubs once or twice. Unless someone wants to sabotage another drafter (and probably sabotage themselves in the process) then there are already several drafters who are literally going to pick whoever they want uninterrupted for the next 10 rounds.

I don’t have a plan as yet so more than happy to play the role of sabbateur and do the best I can whilst fucking shit up.

Are there?

I didn't think that far ahead, never did I think Mbappe was going to go before Maradona.

[Betty Blue]

I could name them, but those drafters would probably hate me for it    Pretty sure it's fairly easy to work out though.

Mbappe is actually a very smart pick if Bobby is taking the route I think he is.

[Samie]

Betty, I'm likely to be one of them. You can say it. I'm a lazy bastard you all know. 

[El Lobo]

Guess it depends if they're going forwards or backwards in time. I mean we've all probably got a plan in mind, but we all know Sarge will win this one pretty comfortably with the Liverpool tax.

[Samie]

Mate, we know who you're picking. Get on with it. 

[El Lobo]

Good old Betty taking advantage of the 'take as long as you want' first round to troll everyone 

[Betty Blue]

My pick was snatched, so I haven't got a clue what I'm doing anymore    Feel free to skip me as I may be a little while.

[Hazell]

Zidane is still available mate.

[Betty Blue]

Zidane is still available mate.

Haha I've taken an oath to not pick him again 

[Drinks Sangria]

Perhaps 5 clubs have to be represented in your XI? Avoids just superpowered one club teams?

[El Lobo]

Would have been a wise move but don't think you can really throw that in after most have made their first pick as a few will be boned.

[Hazell]

Haha I've taken an oath to not pick him again 

Let's see how long that lasts

[Betty Blue]

Yep, I think people would have to be allowed to change their picks, which would be a bit messy.

I think if we'd gotten 16 drafters it might have worked okay without any club changing, but it looks like there won't be much crossover now with the reduced numbers.

[Samie]

Mate, are you happy for me to pick before you in this round? You're spending more time yapping than picking. 

[El Lobo]

Fucking hell lads this is grim stuff Its one thing when we're waiting on Bobby cos he's on one of his Saga taster weekends, but you've spent the last two hours discussing picks when its your go/s!

[Betty Blue]

I did say to skip me several posts up!

[PoetryInMotion]

Skip me for the next round if it comes to it today.. I'll be available for next 3 hours

[NICHOLLS]

 

89th minute sub in...

[Samie]

Now that's a name I haven't heard in a long time...

[Samie]

You can go last mate, After Nick.
