Rules

1. Each player starts with a budget of 250 million transfer pounds.

2. There will be eleven rounds of secret bidding.

3. Twenty five currently active players will be available for bidding in each round (275 in total). Players available for bidding in each round will be made public every morning before 9 AM (GMT). Once the players have been passed on in a round, they will no longer be available unless I say so.

4. You are allowed to bid for as many players as you wish each round. Submit your bids to me by personal message  any time between 9AM and 9PM (GMT). No bids after 9PM will be accepted.

5. The sum of all your bids in a round must be equal to or less than your remaining budget. For example, if you have only 20 million pounds remaining, you cannot bid 20 million for 3 three different players in a round.

6. The results of bidding will be announced before 9 AM each morning.

7. You may trade players and money with other drafters in public or privately.  You must announce your trades in this thread.

8. At the end of round eleven if you have more than XI players in your team, you must select your best XI for voting.

9. At the end of round eleven if you have less than XI players, you can trade to fill out your team, otherwise sheep players will be assigned to your team by myself.   

10. All bids will be rounded to the nearest 1 million transfer pounds.

11. Starting right now. If you make a trade with another player you both will get a 10 million dollars added to your account (no need to pay it back). Previous trades don't count, only valid for the first trade for each player.

250 million Isn't enough to buy a single competent left back these days.

We only need 3 more. There are some usual drafting suspects missing from that list. No Hazell, Lobo or Betty, we should be able to get 16.

Also I will bump the number of players to 25 per round so people have options.

It depends how strict the almost part is. If it's just guys linked to us there should be loads. Some total shite of course, but some big hitters too.

Off the top of my head - C. Ronaldo, Dani Alves, Joaquin, Fekir, David Silva, Konoplywhoka, Gareth Barry (unfortunately), Gomis etc.

Don’t forget Simao
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.
