How does it determine how good a player is? Do we have to tell it? Does that mean Gento is a first round pick  ;D
No, I have to tell it  ;)

That's the bit I need to work out.  We need a system for doing it for it to work.

I've put together a basic script at the moment, using some basic parameters as you'd find on a top trumps card, so thinking if I can find a database of players with that info could use that.

Thanks mate, it was great fun.

I toyed with having Paulo Rossi for my heavy metal player, only because of the rumours Everton fans like to spread about how Klopp's players run so much. Thought better of it, even if I thought it was funny.

Should have picked Duncan Ferguson to corner the Everton vote. Now there's a heavy metal player  :D

Perhaps you could use something like Football Manager, PES, or FIFA? No idea how easy it would be to connect the two though. Could AI be useful here?

The Qatar one? I couldn't bring myself to use that ad. I found a Bayern Lufthansa ad with about 5 players in as well.

I was worried someone would pick him unknowingly.

Yes

Also found this one but Cafu was nicked before my pick

Haha nice one. There were a few Cafu ones - I had a car advert.

Trying to remember the weirdest one I found. This was up there

Aha, found it. This was probably my biggest WTF moment -

There were very few top players who haven't been in a random advert. One of the only ones that stumped me was Javier Zanetti. I couldn't even find him in a normal football advert for Nike or Adidas. Was he just too focused on football to ever do anything on the side!?
