I would’ve bet my life on Thuram being 6’2+. What a beast of a footballer, loved him when I was a kid, he was what a modern defender should be, to me.

Everyone happy that Di Maria fits the brief? I’m more focused on post Mourinho Di Maria who made him a better all round player and defensive workhorse on top of his ball progression abilities. Before that he was more with tricky winger.

Same. Monster of a player. One of my favourite ever. Always loved his nickname Le Philosophe. Seemed such a contrast to the player on the field.

Yep, all good re Di Maria. I'm honestly too tired at this point to argue with any more picks anyway

Yeah, to be fair. Save and share doesn't work on there. You have to download it and then put it on imgur (or whatever)

Alternatively, this one does work if you click export and use the last link on the next page (Link for formation in this11.com comments)

I’m going to give the Team Builder a go tomorrow via desktop because both of those links are useless on a phone.

I’m pretty happy with what I’ve finished with:

                          Aguero
        Di Maria                             Salah
                             Kaka
                    Vieira
                              Fabinho

   Pearce      Hansen   Ramos       Reiziger

                          Neuer

I'm starting to think my team is too old. Who cares, it was great fun watching Prosinecki, Socrates and the likes again. Even if the pictures were a bit grainy.

Nah, you're good mate. I love the 80s flavour of your team. It's nice to see something different. Most in here are young'uns, so we're fixated on all the 90/00s players.

[Sarge]

Nahh fuck this I cant get the fucking thing on here can one of please sort my tem on those pretty pages, thanks!!

Sarge

Ahh Robbie really appreciate that cheers.

PS. you on team Sarge now, once you're in, you're in.

[Samie]

Me and Prof are stratergising since Betty the twat nixed our original player for the iconic celbration catagory.

[Sarge]

Like that team Robbie.

All the others so far very strong too. I honestly do not see a weakness in my one, but I am biased

[RobbieRedman]

Ahh Robbie really appreciate that cheers.

No worries mate, 4 great teams so far including max's

[Betty Blue]

Please explain the Bellingham celebration. It looks distinctly like he's doing fuck all 

[Samie]

I am he, Come at me bro.

[Betty Blue]

All look very strong. Going to be a tough decision. Glad we kept the power level down with the ban list too. Makes things a little less cut and dry.

[Betty Blue]

I am he, Come at me bro.

I mean, what is it? He's got his arms in the air. There's nothing remotely unique there.

[Samie]

That's HIS celebration. 

[Hazell]

Samie and Prof are jokers

Just for that pick, Betty should make them pick fatty Brolin and is iconic celebration.

[Betty Blue]

That's HIS celebration. 

1. A one-off celebration that is unique, one of a kind or totally off the wall (Tardelli going crazy in 82, Suarez's fake dive in front of the Everton bench, Totti's selfie etc)

2. A signature celebration that is unique to that player and not unimaginative or run of the mill (Bale's stupid heart thing, Batigol's machine gun fingers, King Kenny's arms in the air etc)

Should have done this from the beginning, but I think every goal picked so far has met this criteria.

I appreciate some of this is subjective. I'll be honest I am totally biased towards Liverpool goals and probably King Kenny is a stretch for this rule. But we're Liverpool fans, so whatever.

I'm getting tempted at this point 

You should see the "evidence" they sent me over PM this morning.

[Musketeer Gripweed]

Why, even as I look at the forum background,  I see the exact same celebration.

Would love to

Actually, forget Brolin, I've got a really unique one:

A no.19 too. That's two birds with one stone!

[Hazell]

A no.19 too. That's two birds with one stone!

Just checked, he was born in 1967 and is over 191cm as well. And is the perfect heavy metal footballer as well.

[Betty Blue]

Perfect. Until Samie and Prof come up with a proper pick, he is theirs.

[Samie]

We will pick our legitimate first choice then. That celebration is iconic and Bellingham's is too. So many shit has been allowed to pass in this catagory. 

[Betty Blue]

Neither fit the brief as above. The word iconic was scrubbed out after I realised it didn't capture the spirit of the category as I'd intended it. If you don't make a legitimate pick I will replace it with a sheep.

[Samie]

Our first choice pick IS memorable. 

[Betty Blue]

Our first choice pick IS memorable. 

So memorable that you two edited his wikipedia page to try to con me into letting you pick him -





I should give you a sheep for this alone.

[RobbieRedman]

some ideas to help samie out 

[Betty Blue]

I'm off to bed shortly, but if you two are having trouble finding a midfielder in this category then I'll be kind on you and let you trade out Gento cat. 7 for a CM and then you'll probably find it much easier to pick a forward who has a unique goal celebration.

[Samie]

We are not finding trouble,we are standing firm in our first choice or second choice.

You've allowed far more shit through this catagory mate. 

[Betty Blue]

The Rivaldo and Puyol celebrations were more unique then your two and neither passed, so it wouldn't be fair to allow yours.

I'll revise your formation with a sheep for the voting tomorrow. We move on.

[Samie]

We will get back to you in the morning with our reply.

[Prof]

No conning attempted

Just having a laugh like the old days with a wiki edit 

Seriously though, Neeskens' celebrations should be allowed.  That one where he's doing his trademark double arm jump and single arm punch getting interrupted by Cruyff trying to hug him is one of the most iconic moments for that side.
