I'll play this one  :)  Let's try and get up to 16 drafters. Always more fun with more of us ruining eachother's teams.

Is right, BB.  :wave

Surely we can just work out a voting format regardless of the number.

Better to have interested people.

Whether that's 12 or 17. 

Looking forward to this guys.

I'm getting a bit worried after my initial research. Wondering if we should pull the plug on the Cup Winners Cup as it seemingly eliminates more players than it brings into play.

Put it this way, I'm 30 years deep into the UEFA Cup and I've only got 12 players on my list. It's about time we had a properly shit collection of players drafted though, so I'm all in.
