Denis Law was my other option to Rooney. Good pick at this point I’d say.

Laporte?

I was a bit reluctant to pick someone in their mid-20's and he's no Van Dijk or Hansen but there's hardly many good non-Liverpool defenders left so just went with it.

There are many if you go back before football was 're-invented', Haze. I am not angry just disappointed in your statement above...

Excellent pick by PiM I had Denis on my list and inadvertently mentioned him earlier in a post. Shanks loved him, tried to sign him from Huddersfield where he'd just left but couldn't get it over the line for one reason or another

Pretty sure no-one is claiming he's shit. He's just the least likeable player on the planet. This is a Liverpool forum after all!

Oh.... thats 100% true,.... but as we've won the league, I'm just in magnanimous mood......

I personally always claimed he's the worst right back to win so much.....

There was football before 1992?

Ah right. Wijnaldum's one of those I think doesn't get credit outside our fanbase - particularly as the best compliment many would pay our midfield is 'workmanlike' which doesn't do any of them justice. Wijnaldum's a brilliant footballer and one the best 'technical' players at the club and I reckon, like the rest of the midfield, will be looked on in hindsight in more favourable terms.

There are other really good midfielders still available but with Kante and Silva in there as well, I think he balances out my midfield perfectly.

Can I clarify the rule on two players from the same “team”. Does it mean the same club, or the same league-winning team/squad.

Same club. So you can only pick two players who have played for Liverpool.

Well, two players who are classed as Liverpool champions? So Ashley Cole has won the league at Chelsea and Arsenal so I could class him as an Arsenal pick or a Chelsea one?

JerseyKloppite · « **Reply #414 on:** July 4, 2020, 03:13:26 pm »

I ask because we’ve picked VVD, Firmino and Hunt so one of them is going to have to go...

El Lobo · « **Reply #415 on:** July 4, 2020, 03:13:41 pm »

Yarp.

Think you need to be naming which club you’re selecting them for when you pick though.

You need to decide whether you're picking him from Chelsea or Arsenal.

But he'd still count as a pick from both teams. So if you pick Cole, you can't pick more than one other Arsenal or Chelsea player.

Yeah that’s not correct.

If you pick Cashley you decide if he’s Arsenal or Chelsea. If it’s Chelsea you’ve still got one pick left for them and two for Arsenal.

You can't pick more than 2 players who have played for one club. So even if you have a player who's played for say, Utd, Spurs and Everton and you pick him as a winner for Everton, that means you can only pick one more Utd player, one more Spurs player and one more Everton player.

At least that's my understanding of the rules...?

No it wouldn't He'd count as a pick for one club not both, that's why you would say which club are you selecting him from.

Feels dirty saying it.

But yeah Anelka can be one or the other, you decide which is best for you

I can't pick him anyways now that I have Beckham. There are still a slew of great midfielders I can pick. But now its getting tricky to balance my other picks.

Petit and Vieira only looks good because it’s Vieira. Petit was pretty average really.

He joined spurs in the season after they won the league 1961 I remember from my research.

Also Linekar never won one. A lot of great players in that Italia 90 squad never won one.
