5 of Club's Draft. Put your name down if interested.

It's simple pick any players that have played for these 5 clubs. Only club form and career for said club's will be counted when it's time to vote.

Some players in this draft will have played for more than one club on the list. So for those players could you put down which version of the player you're picking? E.g the Ajax version or Real Madrid version seeing as we're judging it on career and form at those said clubs.

Only one rule:

All 5 teams must be represented in your final XI

Real Madrid
Man United
Juventus
Inter Milan
Ajax

Katie Price
Samie
Nicholls
LFC4LIFE
Betty Blue
KingLuis10
Popcorn
Lawnmowerman
Chakan
Gerrvindh
Latenight Surfer
Max_Powers
Rosso
Vishwa Antma
Mellbred
Durlmints

Or could we have multiple versions for a change, i.e Ronaldo Real Madrid and Ronaldo Inter Milan. It'll be more clear cut then, with no cheesy picks.

We could but then when it comes to voting it could get a little messy.

It seemed to work out pretty well in the Battle of the Club Sides drafts. Damn you Ajax

By the way, is there an appearance minimum for each club?

In-thread voting will eradicate that - critical analysis.

No set limit just all 5 clubs need to be represented.

Thinking about it, this draft could well be the perfect one to start this voting experiment out. Now we just need someone to pick Juve's Henry

We have 16 Durlmints is in. I'll get the discussion thread up.

Has Lawnmowerman won any of the other ones since the u25 draft? Him not winning that one was the biggest sporting travesty since Stevie's boots malfunctioned.

I'm the current Rawk boxing draft champion (smug). Not that it makes up for indeed that particular u25 travesty but it's softened my view on these soul crushing draft experiences. Also, Dybala says Hi guys! Markovic too!

I'm convinced if we were to look back at the under 25 draft in 2 years my team would be the GOAT

As are the rest of us

We really have to look back at those teams in a couple of years, it'll be very interesting.

Can, Pogba and Coutinho in midfield

I'd rather not do a sheep draft as I find them less skillful, but I'll probably play if we did do that.

Have we ever done anything around months of the year and players' births? Could call it a Zodiac Draft... 12 rounds of a sheep draft, first round is obviously January... do you dare go for Romario or Xavi or Luis Suarez? Or do you player safer? After each month has been done - you could have 12 players or maybe just several - you then have a few bonus rounds where the banned list comes into play etc. I could flesh it out further but just wondered what you thought on the basic premise.

Sounds like it will be tough to research.

That's actually a great idea, I must say. I like that it adds a whole new dimension to the research side as well - similar to the Domino draft. You could have some double rounds as well, as with the original sheep draft, and like you say banned list rounds (perhaps where you can only pick up players in a month you've not filled yet? Although that might be too tricky....). Lots of scope to explore though. I like it

With research time, people could plan their picks perfectly, and the person who runs it could throw it all out of the window by swapping some months around

Bu there's no such thing as planning picks perfectly in a sheep draft
