All-time Footballing Duos & Partnerships draft- 5 rounds + a bonus wildcard round. On each turn you pick two footballers who have formed a partnership together at one stage in their career. i.e. Dalglish & Rush, Robben & Ribery, Terry & Carvalho & Cech etc. Note: Goalkeepers MUST be picked with your CB partnership.
- The standard picking format will look something like this (in any order you choose): | GK + CB + CB | LB + RB | DM/CM + DM/CM | LW + RW | ST/SS + ST | . But you can link partnerships from any areas of the field provided they make sense*: LW + LB | RW + RB | DM/CM + AM/FW | RW + ST | LW + ST | . If in doubt you may PM me in confidence.
*A right back and a left winger are not likely to have created a partnership!
- Both club AND national teams are allowed.
- Only one pick per era based team: i.e. If you pick Dalglish & Rush, you would then rule out Hansen & Lawrenson from the same Liverpool team, but not Masch & Alonso who played in a completely different Liverpool team/era.
- You must create your team in one of these set formations: 442 wide, 442 diamond, 4231,
or 433. Using 3 or 5 at the back will make things too complicated unfortunately.
- Please remember that your goalkeeper
MUST be picked at the same time as your two centre backs.
