I'm not. I've had 10 picks. The mention of me was wrong. It's just [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION]

My apologies, I misunderstood.

Question regarding category 4, if they're signed to a team in the big 5 leagues but actually play elsewhere (PL loan to somewhere else for example), is that a valid pick?

Edit; Just realised it's probably easier to mention [MENTION=15934]Rohana[/MENTION] for this...

It seems as though players on loan do not count (see the OP)

Wow, can tell it's been a long day when I miss that. Cheers for pointing it out!

My next selection, and penultimate player, fits into an open Category 4 slot, through playing for Porto.

He's familiar to anyone with even a passing interest in football outside of these shores, known for his speed, skill and, dare I say it, flair.

Such is the wonder of his game that he's amassed something of a cult following throughout his career and has somewhere in the region of 16 winners medals to his name including for Serie A, Primeira Liga and the Champions League.

To use the catchphrase of the draft; I can't believe he's not been picked yet, he is;

Ricardo Quaresma
[MENTION=13200]bhafc22[/MENTION] I believe

Adding a Premiership quality defender to my strong defence.

Cesar Azpilicueta.

And it still leaves me 1 player to go, who with Martinez's flexibility, can play anywhere!

For my 10th pick, I needed some more experience and steel in the team to compliment my flair players, and also to keep De Jong in check... at Centre Back, alongside his Croatian teammate of many years Srna, and in Category 11, is over 30 years old - I give you:

JOSIP SIMUNIC

He is also a man who can get 2 yellow cards and NOT sent off (until finally the 3rd yellow card below!)

 

[Frutos]

[MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION] and [MENTION=4147]shaolinpunk[/MENTION] are currently eligible to pick.

I don't have access to my list here, but for the sake of keeping things going I'll pick now with a player that I know fills at least one of my remaining categories, possibly more, while also finishing my defensive unit.

Vastly experienced and generally one of the best right backs in England if not the world over the last seven years - Bacary Sagna

Next = [MENTION=8619]Guy Fawkes[/MENTION]

my next draft choice is is a German footballer who currently plays for Bayern Munich. Aged just 25, he has already won the FA cup, Bundesliga twice and also the Champions League

A versatile defender, he primarily is a centre back, although he is a capable full back on either side. Physically strong and composed, he garnered a reputation as a tough-tackling, versatile defender. He also played in the Germany U-21 side, which won the Euro 2009 U-21 Championship and was soon promoted to the national side, being selected in Germany's 2010 World Cup squad.
