He counts for my South Liverpool pick too  8)
If he's being asked to head the ball too frequently - which isn't exactly his specialty - it could affect his ear and cause an infection. Especially if the ball hits him on the ear directly.

Eyeing the ‘wouldn’t have played for those countries under modern rules’ demographic  ;)

Nice picks though. Mad some players like Desailly and Robben lasted as long. Always feel Robben was a bit underrated because of his high level ‘one-trick pony’ status. Always thought that was unfair. World class winger for a number of years.

Dyou know what I did think it was a bit cheeky, but then Last had Di Stefano himself last draft for Argentina (who he played 6 times for) so I figured it was open season. A few more in that sort of category too ;)

I think the thing is Robben was that type of player in his younger days at Chelsea as well as being a complete diving twat of a player, but at Bayern he matured quite a bit and took his game up several notches. He was rare in the winger department as a player who actually got better as he aged. Most tend to nosedive once they lose a yard of pace and/or move to other areas of the field to compensate. But Robben was world class at Bayern (and possibly their best player) right up into his thirties playing out wide.

Wait, did you just praise one of my picks :D  Desailly was a beast. Rare in that he could play both CB and DM at a world class level. First time I've managed to draft him, so I'm delighted.

I used to love the "Show him out wide" crowd like he wasn't quick enough to get away and cut in from the right and shoot.  ;D

Obviously if he comes up against Ngolo, he'll be disposed off the ball easily.

Ahhh there he goes, was holding off on laughing at Samies gloating about Kante when the original and better Kante was still available.

I reckon he won’t want to pick the next available player on his list, I predict he’ll go for the one after that. Didn’t want to pick on the great man’s behalf in case i got it wrong.
