- No rules or restrictions. Any player in the history of football can be picked. Draft your 11 favourite players as we snake up and down the order and build a 11 man team in formation. Tactics are yours to choose. Have your team Gegen pressing Liverpool style, go 44 fucking 2 like it's 1990, add some finesse with a Catenaccio, or any number of tactical layouts.

- Each drafter will have 4 hours to make their pick. If you repeatedly hit/break the deadline then your time will be cut short in future rounds. If you're not going to be online, you can always leave picks with another RAWKite.

- Official drafting times are 9am - 11pm* GMT. Although you can pick outside of those hours if you're online and it's your turn.

*Unless you're grandad Sarge who goes to bed at 9pm.

- After you make your pick always on pain of death PM the next drafter in the order.

MESSI

I'm going to (slightly) jump the gun here and pick a player I always seem to miss out on in these drafts! One of my absolute favourites growing up and one of the most awe-inspiring players ever to have stepped foot on a football pitch. Il Fenomeno...

RONALDO

Pelé

Pelé isn't cool anymore, because he wasn't a rebel, and every prediction he's made in the last 30 years has been wrong, and he (probably) needs viagra to get it up. But come on.

He was basically Lionel Messi, but with a physique that was capable of winning headers and scoring 30-yard goals. And he won multiple world cups and world club cups without playing in front of midfielders like Iniesta and Xavi. And he was easily the best player in the greatest team ever, despite being past his peak. Seriously:

JOHAN CRUYFF

Many players in these early rounds will need no introduction but none more so than Cryuff. You know you're fucking good when you have a turn named after you.

Lothar Matthaus

Diego Maradona said of Matthäus, "he is the best rival I've ever had. I guess that's enough to define him"
