I'll run this sucker if we can get 16.  It's a fairly easy concept but I've thrown in a couple of curveballs to make it more interesting.

- Drafters must pick a player in each of the following categories:
  1-10 caps
  11-20 caps
  21-30 caps
  31-40 caps
  41-50 caps
  51-60 caps
  61-70 caps
  71-80 caps
  81-90 caps
  91-100 caps
  101 caps or more

- Any players with less than 50 caps must have retired from international football.

- You cannot draft players of the same nationality.  If a player has played for two nations, the one he has the most caps with will count for this draft, and caps will only count for the nation he's drafted under.  So, for example, Di Stefano would be 31 caps for Spain and you can still select another player from Argentina or Colombia.

- Everyone gets their first pick, 1 hour clock after (between 10am - 10pm UK time).

- Wikipedia for reference.

Do we have to pick in cap order (e.g. 1-10 first) or any order but 1 from each bracket?

Ooops... autocorrect on my phone.

That's 12 people so far, feels like 16 is doable but if we can get even more, that'd be peachy.

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.

A 16 man draft could see us through to the start of next season. Excellent news
