Right so the categories are, (examples using Robbie Savage in brackets):
1. Someone of the same height as your inspiration pick (If you'd picked Robbie Savage you'd have to pick a player who was 1.85m)
2. Someone born in the same year as your inspiration pick (If you'd picked Robbie Savage you'd have to pick a player born in 1974)
3. Someone who shares their birthday with your inspiration pick, only the date not the year - wikipedia is a helpful tool for this (If you'd picked Robbie Savage you'd have to pick a player born on the 18th October e.g. finding footballers listed on this page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/October_18#1901%E2%80%93present_2)
4. One of the top 25 teammates who your inspiration pick played most with, all this data can be found on transfermarkt.co.uk (

6. Someone who came through the same academy as your player. I'll accept any academy they played in up until their professional debut. (Robbie Savage's academies would include Brickfield Rangers, Lex XI, Manchester United and Crewe Alexandra)
7. Someone your inspiration pick played with in their professional debut season (For Robbie Savage this would include anyone in Crewe Alexandra's 1994-95 squad)
8. Anyone who played for your inspiration pick's national side when they were between the ages of 0 and 10. This is supposed to find someone your player was inspired by as a kid. (For Robbie Savage this would be anyone who played for the Welsh National Team between 1974 and 1984).
9. Anyone who played in your inspiration pick's International Debut (For Robbie Savage this would be anyone who played in the game between Wales and Albania on the 15th November 1995)
10. Anyone who played during your inspiration pick's final International cap (For Robbie Savage this would be anyone who played in the game between Wales and Poland on the 13th October 2004)
11. Anyone who played in a club cup final with your player, so major domestic cup finals and european finals, they don't have to have won the final (For Robbie Savage this would mean picking any member of the Leicester City side's who played in either the 1999 or 2000 cup final).
You can pick from any category in any round, but you must have crossed off all the categories by your last pick, or your teams will be void and the rest of your spaces will be filled up with Robbie Savages.
When you post your picks, say which category you are selecting your player for.
Hope that all makes sense. Any questions, let me know in here, or drop me a PM. If you need help with links to transfermarkt or wikipedia for your players let me know!
