[Football] Current World XI Draft

[Gullflyinghigh]

I'm crossing my fingers that my chances of getting the last player I want are improved by the fact that 10 of the picks between now and my next/last go have to be a manager rather than a player.

I'm actually sitting here hoping that the manager I want doesn't get drafted before my go. I still have a player to pick as well but I'm far less concerned about him...

If you felt like taking one for the team, you could go for Tim Sherwood as manager. That way Brighton would have to look elsewhere.

I'm quite looking forward to seeing which players have been forgotten about once the draft has finished. There are some big players still unaccounted for. Some just don't fit any categories, which is really annoying when they'd be perfect for your team

Would be good to put together an undrafted team, to see how it compares.

Ah see, now you've named him I can't pick him as I would hate people to think it wasn't my own idea.

Guess I'll have to pick someone else now... *sigh*

Coming in at pick TEN is a strong aged midfielder well versed with his role. A strong center midfielder with over 200 apps for Inter Milan, Esteban Cambiasso is my first of my two midfield generals and an amazing grab in the 10th imo.

Category 2 – Has made over 70 International appearances
Category 3 - Has never played at a World Cup - Jordi Alba
Category 4 - Plays/Manages outside the “top 5” leagues - Ezequiel Garay
Category 5 – Has been the top goal scorer in a top-flight season - Edin Dzeko
Category 6 – Played football in at least 4 different countries - Philippe Coutihno
Category 7 – Has been relegated during his career - Isco
Category 8 – Has played in a Champions League Semi-Final/Final. - Manuel Neuer
Category 9 – Is under 24 years of age - Raheem Sterling
Category 10 - Has won a league title with 2 different clubs - Ottmar Hitzfeld
Category 11 – Is over 30 years old - Andrea Barzagli
Category 12 - Has faced Brighton at some point in his career - Pablo Zabaleta

Over to [MENTION=23421]JOLovegrove[/MENTION] again with two picks now to make.

 

[stripeyshark]

Someone needs to do an update list, haven't been on this thread for a while!

Someone has done it.

You have two picks mate.

 

[Rohana]

I hope everyone is watching the UEFA cup final and admiring Rakitic and his performance

 

[JOLovegrove]

My last 2 players will fill in at right back and as a creative midfielder.

For those of you that have played FIFA, you will be well aware of my right back. Quick, loves getting forward and knows how to defend, I present Ignazio Abate.

And now for my creative midfielder who is being touted as the next big thing in British football. How he has not been picked is beyond me, but thankfully Roy Hodgeson didn't ignore him. My final player, Ross Barkley.
[MENTION=1958]Gazwag[/MENTION], your next mate.

I've highlighted managers in bold, so if you don't have a bold name in your list then you still need to pick a manager among your remaining selections. I'd be interested to know whether those who haven't picked a manager are comfortable with having left it late or are concerned that they are now going to miss out on the top choices in the category as a result?

My picks are all still available for the manager position at this stage!

My final player is a nightmare to find.

Going to tempt the fate gods, especially as you pick right before me; I really hope you don't take the manager I want...

 

[Guy Fawkes]

[MENTION=25389]Jay Cartwright[/MENTION] is up again and has two picks
and [MENTION=1958]Gazwag[/MENTION] has a pick left too.

 

[Gazwag]

My penultimate pick add a host of experience to my defence. Walter Adrián Luján Samuel. Gifted with natural power and pace, Samuel played a key role in Inter's treble success in the 2009–10 season under José Mourinho and has accumulated over 50 caps for the Argentine national team. His strong, uncompromising style of play has earnt him the nickname Il Muro ("The Wall"). He has made 443 club appearances during his career.

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. Walter Samuel
Category 9 – Is under 24 years of age Xherdan Shaqiri
Category 10 - Has won a league title with 2 different clubs Anatoliy Tymoshchuk

Category 12 - Has faced Brighton at some point in his career Martin Škrtel

Looking at the categories you've used, it's doubtful that I will! Not without doing a bit of moving players around anyway!

I'm moving a player out of the way to let me draft him...don't you dare!

Gonads. Damn you Turienzo, Wiedenfeller AND Reynolds.

I'll have DE SANCTIS then if he's not been snapped up.
