[Football] Current World XI Draft

[Reinelt12]

For my 8th pick I have decided that I need to sort Category 12 (Played against Brighton) as that is becoming increasingly tough, and also get my Goalkeeper out the way... A keeper who is still relatively young and will be the Dutch National keeper for some time to come, my pick is...

TIM KRUL


[MENTION=4147]shaolinpunk[/MENTION] - your turn!

 

[Sussax]

Hello All,

I have no idea who's been picked, so this is a shot in the dark.

A young centre-back for Real Madrid

Raphael Varane

- Relegated with Lens in the 2010-11 season

Raphael Varane

- Relegated with Lens in the 2010-11 season

Sorry, he's already gone.

 

[shaolinpunk]

My next pick will be my manager. Over a hundred games with his national side, he brings as much style to the team as he does tactical knowledge

Joachim "Jogi" Löw

Up next [MENTION=8619]Guy Fawkes[/MENTION]

[MENTION=13051]jay[/MENTION]_Cartwright has a pick outstanding, soon to be two, and [MENTION=8619]Guy Fawkes[/MENTION] is on the clock.

Think that's all up to date and under the right people. Sadly think people are getting a bit bored of this now all the bigger names have gone

 

[Guy Fawkes]

I've got several potential picks and just taking a while to decide which one is next (which i should have done with some of my earlier picks)

I will post it soon

 

[Guy Fawkes]

My next pick is an Italian football manager and former footballer, considered the most successful club coach in the history of Serie A.

One of the most celebrated managers in football history, he is one of only four coaches to have won league titles (10) in four different countries. He is the one only coaches to have won all three major European club titles and the only one to make it with the same club.

Also, he is the only one to have won all official continental club competitions and the world title, achieving this with Juventus during his first spell with the club. Also he has the record of UEFA Cup titles won (three).

He is
GIOVANNI TRAPATTONI

your up [MENTION=278]MattBackHome[/MENTION]

 

[Hamilton]

Judging for this is going to be so so hard.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Shatner's Bassoon - Lewandowski, Sergio Busquets, Alexis Sanchez, Paul Pogba, John Terry, Gary Cahill, Igor Akinfeev

Has [MENTION=23606]Shatner's Bassoon[/MENTION] missed a pick?

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Has [MENTION=23606] Shatner's Bassoon[/MENTION] missed a pick?

Rafa Benitez has been picked by Shatner's Bassoon but not included on that list

Great work there mr Fawkes

 

[Frutos]

Think that's all up to date and under the right people. Sadly think people are getting a bit bored of this now all the bigger names have gone

I actually don't get that feeling at all - everything seems to still be ticking along as well as ever, although events at the weekend have understandably meant people's focus has been elsewhere.

As Hamilton says, this is going to be really hard to judge as there are some very good teams being put together - the remaining picks are going to be crucial as the odds increase that more than one person is likely to be looking at the same players.

I still think i can put together a very decent team starting from scratch now (using 7 or 8 picks to catch up)

I think there is plenty of quality left out there to choose from - my problem has been narrowing it down to which one i'd pick next

 

[Shatner's Bassoon]

Has [MENTION=23606]Shatner's Bassoon[/MENTION] missed a pick?

That list leaves out Rafa Benitez.

[MENTION=25389]Jay Cartwright[/MENTION]

Oh, piss right off would you!

 

[Frutos]

I believe [MENTION=25389]Jay Cartwright[/MENTION] now has TWO picks to make - his exclusivity period expires at 8:34 at which point [MENTION=1958]Gazwag[/MENTION] comes into play.

 

[Gazwag]

Ok I'm going for goals goals goals with my team by introducing another player who will feature in the future of English football. Jay Enrique Rodriguez has had a great season until his injury which has cruely ruled him out of a trip to Brazil in the summer. Scoring 56 goals in his 190 appearances. This season he has been on fire scoring 15 goals. He was loan out to Stirling Albion while at Burnley and - as quoted from wiki - "he stayed with Stirling until the end of the campaign and also scored goals against Livingston and St. Johnstone, but these goals weren't enough to keep Albion up and they were relegated after finishing bottom of the table."

Category 1 - Has played at least 200 times for one club Petr Čech
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 Jay Rodriguez
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 Martin Škrtel
