Fuck, there go two more legitimate selections with United I could have made without making it look like I was only targeting one club.

Surely there are some lvl 5 and above players still with D-League teams that could help fill out the depth.

I had a feeling that was coming from you, there was another player associated with Newcastle who I was thinking could go up front. But I think he's a bit of a twat, and wouldn't dare make the selection. Edit: I don't feel like bumping the FM thread from a few months ago, but anyone that's still playing, would you want to test out a tactic I've been using? I sometimes don't even believe the success I've been getting from it and would love to see how it works for others.

Well someone has to play up front to convert all the chances generated by the midfield, so it's about time I took a striker. So why not snag someone who averaged just around 25 goals a season over his 17 year career. Alan Shearer

I wouldn't have it any other way.

Well I guess I might as well just finish off my midfield, and I need an attacking force to play in the forwards I'll take later. Arguably one of the best midfielders of his generation and without a doubt one of the most modest men in the game. Even at 33 he'd still be first choice for England and god knows they've tried to get him back on numerous occasions. I'm really not trying to select players from only one club, but I'm already something of JCL anyways so let's just finish it off. The Ginger Prince himself. Paul Scholes Damn I love this midfield, I've put together.

Well done to Turkey though, if England played with half as much heart, they would have qualified.

Thanks for the contract for my HB. Looks like a good squad, if not a bit weak in depth.

Oh I'm not having a go at you, Landycakes is just an easy target. If a woman was going to be selected, I figured Mia Hamm would be the choice.

One of these is not like the other. One of these just doesn't belong.

Might want to edit one of those names you listed, I could see him going soon. He's not even an out and out striker, it's just mind-boggling what he's done so far.

There were quite a few players that I had my eye on, particularly someone up front. But with Ronaldo and Best on the wing, even would be able to put a few away given enough chances. I wanted someone who could boss the midfield, intercept passes and start the counter attack by getting the ball wide. In his younger days you could count on him for a few goals as well. If we're also picking captains, he's getting the armband right now. The pride of the Cobh Ramblers, followed closely by Stephen Ireland's wig. I really didn't want to go with three players from the same club, but I couldn't help but pick the Cork legend himself... Roy Keane This will result in a slight change in my formation. http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm305/c...ro/tsmdraft.jpg

Schmeichel is a fucking legend, well done there.

I've been trying to get my WR off this team for a while now, I'm sure he can be had in a decent trade. http://goallineblitz.com/game/player.pl?player_id=268489

Dino Zoff is a great selection. Sorry I forgot to shoot you a PM, I was in a rush this morning as you can probably tell by my selection.

I had a feeling I'd wake up and realize that I'm on the clock. Perhaps I'm making this pick too early, but since I'm putting a FM slant on this draft, this will allow me to use the swap position check box and I can't think of a better threat on the opposite wing of George Best. Normally I'd put some detail into this post, but I'm due in at work in half an hour. So I'll wrap it up with a little song. He plays on the left. He plays on the right. That boy Ronaldo. Makes England look shite.

Well fuck, Sir Bobby is a great pick and a true gentleman to boot.

I always thought the Garek character was a bit underutilized.

I snagged the complete series of DS9 a few years back for around $150 and haven't regretted it. Especially considering just how expensive some of the complete sets of any Star Trek series end up going for. It really does seem to pick up and improve the further they push the story. With the exception of a few Quark/Nog heavy episodes, I was able to push through all 7 seasons over a few weeks.

I sensed that one coming soon, back to the drawing board.

I'd say managers can be picked whenever, it's not high on my list but for some it might be. Did we really need to blank out ? If anyone dared to pick him, they should be disqualified.

Just think, blank was being considered just as much as blank

I can think of a few blank signings that could fit in easily with the type of football I want my 11 to play. Although not one of them would be English, which isn't surprising considering blank.

Absolutely.

It's the game that just keeps on giving. Easily the best 25 quid that I spend every year.
