I was thinking of making a cheesy pick for Bryan Robson who was player manager when Middlesbrough went down.

Toughy this one.

Didn't realise Nastasic was that young!
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.

Not a lot of quality available in players born after 1992. Might as well go for the best.

I don't think anyone will get anybody worth a pick in 92 and after category.

There is like 2 players that would be decent.

Depends how ambitious you wanna be with it. Gives you a chance to get two half decent players instead of risking not getting any. Got to take advantage of these multiple rounds.

So yeah..... Januzaj ;)

Robinson got picked mate.

Just think there are much much better keepers who will become available in later rounds.
No doubt, but I applied the same logic to MIDs and forwards
I would honestly let Wijnaldum jizz in my face right now

I seriously can't think of many young players that would even be worth having in the team. The only 2 I can will be picked for sure.

I said to Prateek, any player we get as the young player would just be a "just in case" player. May stop us getting a sheep, but I still can't find many that aren't basically sheeps anyway!  ;D

Well where's the fun if all I give you is 'Pick a boss player with loads of goals/caps/appearances', eh? Got to get creative with some of the categories.

Its fine man. All these multi pick rounds are supposed to be safety net anyway.

What do you mean by transfer window? Do we get to trade? or Just pick from banned players?

Irrelevant. We will somehow still manage to pick 5-6 players (60s born) among ourselves when there are atleast 15 quality players to pick from all over the pitch  :butt

Klinsman will do.

Just to make sure blurred, both players have had to have played in the same team and of the same nationality? Also, the ruling of players who have played for more than one international team

I thought Pogba would have slipped by but I guess I was wrong. Got really lucky with Lehmann since I did consider Seaman, Guillit, Klinsmann, Ince, Bruce and Zola as my other options.

Nothing but that is not how voting works. He is head and shoulder above Barkley, Sterling , Shaw etc in terms of ability right now.
