[Football] Current World XI Draft

[MattBackHome]

Zlatan Ibrahimovic

Bollocks.

 

[Gullflyinghigh]

Waiting for my pick is painful, got three names from three categories and I want them all...yet well aware I'll be lucky to get one. Aaargh.

 

[Frutos]

Something I've started doing is keeping a list of all those who have been drafted already so that if someone else gets a player you want (something which may or may not have already happened to me), it's easy to see whether any replacement you have in mind has already gone without having to trawl through god-knows how many pages to check each time.

 

[Sussax]

Being a spreadsheet nerd, I have all the players listed per position already!

Mainly because I'm away until Friday now, so need a list to tick off.

Makes sense.

I had a provisional first-choice team in mind before we started drafting, but every time I look at it I come up with different ideas and options - I think only about 3 of that original team are still my first choices at this stage. God knows how many of the ones I want I'll actually get, but that's the fun of it after all.

 

[MattBackHome]

The best midfielder in the world (and wine buff) ANDREA PIRLO. My god I love him.

I'll also try to keep a log of who has signed who and update it every couple of pages. If other people want to help me by updating every now and then if I forget then that would be grand.

It's so TENSE!

 

[Frutos]

It's so TENSE!

You could cut the tension with a KNIFE in here.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Oh blimey, nearly my turn. I haven't decided what to do for the first pick - go for a trickier category or go for a big name superstar?

 

[MattBackHome]

My decisions are based on the thought: "Which player could I not do without?". And leave the categories stuff till much later.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Bollocks.

Hahaha, you dimmy! You didnt think Zlatan would last did you?!

The best midfielder in the world (and wine buff) ANDREA PIRLO. My god I love him.

Oh, bollocks...

@ Shaolinpunk your up

 

[JOLovegrove]

Pirlo was on my list too. [MENTION=4147]shaolinpunk[/MENTION] up next.

 

[shaolinpunk]

My first pick - in category 12 of having played against Brighton - is arguably the best out-and-out striker in world football today.

Luis Suarez

Paging [MENTION=5392]Reinelt12[/MENTION]

Paging [MENTION=5392]Reinelt12[/MENTION]

Nooooooo! I was so sodding close!

 

[Reinelt12]

And with the tenth pick in the World XI Draft - Reinelt12 chooses in Category 6 (Played football in at least 4 different countries - Spain, England, Germany, Holland)

Probably the fastest most destructive winger in the game...

Arjen Robben



[MENTION=15941]pauldcpfc[/MENTION] - You are next!

 

[pauldcpfc]

I wanted Robben very much. You barsteward!!

The first member of my team fits into many categories, but for now, he will remain in Category 1.

The first member of team Pauldcpfc is...

Phillip Lahm.
