For those who play FM and want to know how to put players into their dream team and cant be bothered to use the editor, simply start a new game, pick any team and simply give nicknames to the players you have. Then just look at your tactics, its an easy process and looks good. Also means you don't have to use a simple 4-4-2, you can customise it to hell. Also adding to the FM love, I just had the most thrilling Championship race with Derby in the first season (latest update), finished the season on 94 points and finished FOURTH. Amazing. Won the play offs though.

My first Brian Danielson match is against Morishima trying to regain his ROH Title. August 25 2007 if i'm not mistaken. This one was a fight.

Oh.. my god. Huss, I had the EXACT same idea on how to showcase my team. Well done sir.

I think as long as we keep pm'ing each other (it's so easy to forget to do it) we shouldn't have a problem, all the entrants seem to be regular forum users. Like I said before, there's lots of good keepers, but Banks, he was on a different level all together.

I really hope a half-decent keeper gets back to me. I can have a 'good' keeper as there's so many, but the two that have gone so far.. they were my top two. This draft just might get interesting very soon.

I think Beardsley's problem was that he was lost in the shuffle of a good midfield.. England, for some reason, has ALWAYS had a good midfield, especially the last 20 years.

...Dr Robotnik?

I've completed this game numerous times now, and every single time I keep meaning to shoot him out of the window (the early one where you're with Roman and get the free knife) but he never lasts long enough to do it & as for 'Final Interview'.. I couldn't jump out of the window.

And as you can tell from my reaction, a damn fine pick. Interesting choice with Peter Beardsley though. Best goalkeeper ever is right.

Oh, you bastard. You.. you bastard.

Yeah, Mellow's usually good for timing with his pick. I only need to get two picks to message you with anyway so it's not going to be held up.

Oh shoot, i'm after Mellow. I hope he picks tonight, as I go away for a few days tomorrow.

AWESOME pick Gert.

Ironic thing is, Ronaldinho has a good case for also being the best player in the world circa 2002-2004.

Okay, Chriswok is officially in. The more the merrier says I.

Definately, Premier League Years was on earlier and it had that season on, Beckham was probably the best crosser of the ball for the next five years. Hell, he took us to the 2002 World Cup all on his own, and not just because of that free kick.

Chris, if you want in this draft, since we're not at the last person just yet, i'll happily add you to the end? I'm not exactly super-strict on rules on this.

I'm not going to try.. but dont worry about picking more modern players, this is just for fun, it's the team you'd like to pick. That being said, Beckham's hardly a poor pick, i've never seen a better crosser of the ball.

On behalf of Mystery Eskimo Arguably the greatest English captain of all time, and the man that led England to win the 1966 World Cup. He won a total of 108 caps for the England team, which at the time of his international retirement in 1973 was a national record. Although this record was later broken by *unpicked*, Moore remains the most capped outfield player ever to play for England. So, in my own opinion, Mystery Eskimo drafts the best defender i've ever seen, and the first man in my back four if I had the chance. Bobby Moore

YES. I was wondering when he'd go, there was two goalkeepers only I had my mind on. If he's still there in the next round, then i'm taking the other. They weren't amazing per se when you compare them to midfields of Platini, Cantona, *unpicked* and such, but still good point. Guivarc'h was my CM legend that year.

You know.. if somebody put together an All France dream team, it might not be the worst thing. They've had some quality over the years, albeit not so much in defence.

Hmm.. I don't know now, Platini (my next pick by the way, was going to play just off Pele), Cantona and an unnamed player all have great claims to be the best. Unfortunately, Cantona didn't play in a succesful France side, Platini's era was a much better side to play in. But like I said, it was my next pick, so its a great one.

Damn it, that belt is great.

Great pick, like you noted, think Total Football and you think Cruyff.
