Sorry for being a bit dense here but does your local player have to have played in the derby or just being from the city will suffice?

Needs to have played in the corresponding derby.

Heading out for 5 hours... sent my picks if it comes around again to BB and Mikey --- Yoda and Luke Skywalker of drafting.

Take care Rawkites.

Worst double-pick in RAWK draft history?  Someone who's already been taken and Sergio fucking Ramos.

That’s my fault. I hadn’t listed my last two picks on the first post.

Someone needs to update the selection thread or else I'm blind, I'll change it now.

Ramos is a true footballing gentleman, a player from yesteryear who truly embodies the spirit of the game.

It's also said the phrase a gentleman's game played by thugs was penned in his honour. Much needed needle added to my side there though.

Was a bit of a sneaky one, completely forgot he played for Spurs.  Him and Souness is a fun midfield.

Hey guys. I've been having great fun with the draft, but I'm really sorry that I'm going to have to leave my team unfinished. I'm up to my eyeballs in work and shouldn't have taken it on really. Got a bit too sucked in today to be honest and lost ground on some major work I need to finish by Monday :-\  Silly me for being unable to resist the allure of drafting! If anyone wants to take over, I can send a few ideas for the last picks over to them. But otherwise I'm going cold turkey and signing off RAWK for a few days. I'll be back for the never never draft  ;)  Good luck all. Sorry for not managing to finish this. Would really have loved to. Had wicked plans for the rest of my team too.

No worries work comes first.

Do we know anyone wanting to join / takeover? Might try the main draft thread.

Thats a good pick, there is a top class CB that no one has remembered and I chose Godin ahead of him. There is one more but not many of you have heard of him despite captaining a legendary side to a European Cup ;)

Since BettyBlue has opted out, do we have any replacement? If we don't have anyone as of now, is it okay if I post my pick?

Sorry for changing my pick. Had a couple of players shortlisted. Panicked after seeing Bale ineligible and hit send on the wrong tab.

Seen you guys are having trouble replacing me and I don't want to affect the draft, so I'm going to try to pop on and catch up with picks as and when I can. Doing one now and another when I get a chance. Just keep skipping me when it's my turn though. Missed a few players I needed already, so may need some help in the later rounds!

There's a few people who don't have the local pick or the played for both teams pick yet, that's gonna be tough going towards the end of the rounds.

Yep, hence why I’ve got it out the way now. Not easy to find guys that satisfy that criteria.
