Good looking Keegan-esque team that. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do for the defence.

If Keegan was still managing he'd be my first choice.

Seems so long since I was last on, 9 pages, so my next pick is the original chosen one, time for my manager to be disclosed. What needs to be said about José Mário dos Santos Mourinho Félix that isn't already well known.
Some hate him, some love him but his record is pretty good, everybody must admit to that. Manged in Portugal, England, Italy and Spain. Pep Guardiola has described Mourinho as "probably the best coach in the world". Even though his football is sometimes "ugly" he gets results.
He even has his own cartoon series "Mourinho and The Special Ones", the cartoon revolves around a youngster who gets spotted by Mourinho playing in a local match before the Portuguese tactician turned him into a global football superstar.
He has managed 683 games with a win % of 67.2% losing just 90 games.
The passion that is...
Category 1 - Has played at least 200 times for one club
Category 2 – Has made over 70 International appearances David Silva
Category 3 - Has never played at a World Cup Daniel Sturridge
Category 4 - Plays/Manages outside the “top 5” leagues
Category 5 – Has been the top goal scorer in a top-flight season Zlatan Ibrahimovic
Category 6 – Managed in at least 4 different countries José Mourinho
Category 7 – Has been relegated during his career
Category 8 – Has played in a Champions League Semi-Final/Final.
Category 9 – Is under 24 years of age
Category 10 - Has won a league title with 2 different clubs
Category 11 – Is over 30 years old Dani Alves
Category 12 - Has faced Brighton at some point in his career Petr Čech

Yeah, thats because I cut and pasted from the earlier 'Squad' list. And, frankly, I neither know all their first names nor can be arsed typing them all in! If anyone wants to tidy it up they are more than welcome.

Credit where it's due, putting it together must've been a bit dull. Certainly helpful though!

Exactly the thug I wanted running between my back four and Isco and chums after I found Van Bommel retired last season
I have another now though.

Drama!
Getting tense now - really hoping that neither [MENTION=23421]JOLovegrove[/MENTION] or [MENTION=17456]The_Viper[/MENTION] picks the next superstar that I have a Team Frutos jersey waiting for.
