He has until 4pm to get his ass online. Otherwise we'll move on to the next guy.

We've started now. There's no draft. Once everyone has their nation you build your team in the open eye in this thread, discussing players, bemoaning lacking positions, asking for help, posting formations etc and then other shit goes down at my wim....

Thoughts on Antonio Valencia from Colombia --- never really got his due since he was a red manc.... thoughts?

Also, Betty, can you confirm that you did not mention a few countries in your listings (Canada, Bolivia, other African countries etc...) Please advise..

And I just want to say... that I know you are looking to thrust a "have never picked in any draft" selected criterion --- so don't think you got all of us cornered (Samie yes - us no)...

1. You can do better.

2. etc was used to denote all other countries from those parts of the world. I can't possibly list them all.

3. I have no idea what you're talking about, which wouldn't be the first time  ;D  No-one knows what's going to happen, not even me.
