Right, I've only just got back online (damned mobile roaming), seen Melbred's win and updated all the Hall of Fame stats, so I'm going to come back tomorrow with more on this draft.

However, I will reveal that it's to be named "Battle of the Club Sides" (unless one of you's comes up with better).

Careful research has also been done this time to avoid another Brazil-gate  ;)  though they'll always be stonger and weaker sides.

Could be good actually. With countries people obviously had a free run at who they could select. With clubs there's obviously some overlapping so it should make it more tactical.

The overlapping is the tricky part. I've decided on an appearance minimum (with some flexibility) to help with that. But also I've made the decision to let some of those overlaps just be...

I considered that, but with certain players it didn't make sense. I've researched every angle of this. Trust in Betty.

Who knows when Betty will come back on.

Anyone else got any ideas to make a start on?

I was thinking of a simple draft in which only players that played and won in the final of a European Cup can be picked, or the final of a World Cup.

Had another idea before, maybe we could work out 16 different teams with players who played in certain colours?

It would probably be another battle of the.... type draft, and may need Bettys genius once more, so maybe it would have to be left a while before giving it ago.

I'd be happy enough to run a normal sheep draft after this one aswell.
