Now onto the admin side.

• The idea is to pick a team of 11 players from the Champions League era
• You will be looking to pick the best players you possibly can for your team for all areas: goalkeeper, defenders, midfielders and attackers
• The player is picked based upon their performances at their time for the season you chose him for (i.e. if you pick Andriy Shevchenko for AC Milan, his form at Kiev and Chelsea does NOT come into the equation during the competition).
• You need to select at least one player from the top 5 league in Europe: Premier League (England), La Liga (Spain), Seria A (Italy), Bundesliga (Germany) and Ligue 1 (France).
• For the season that the player is picked, he must have reached at least the quarter final stage of the competition
• Each player, must have played in at least one Champions League final.
• Number 1 gets first pick, Number 2 gets second pick, Number 3 gets third pick and so on....
• When offline, each member will get 2 hours to make their pick, if you miss the window then your pick will be chosen by the Rexdomizer ™.
• If the next picker is online and active in discussion he has only 20 minutes to make his pick
• The game will be frozen each night at 9pm GMT and resume at 9am GMT the following morning. You are still free to make your pick in this period if you want to but are under no obligation to do so.
• The draft order will be drawn at random and will follow the 3rd round reverse snake format. So the same as last time where we flip the order after the second round. This should stop anyone building up an unfair advantage by going first.
• The season of your player must have reached one of the below stages depending on when that season falls...

Prior to 1994-95: Quarter finals
1994-95 to 1998-99: Semi finals
1999-2000 to 2002-03: 2nd group stage
2003-04 to present day: Quarter finals

• AGAIN, You need to draft a starting XI and five outfield substitutes. The 17th round will consist of backup goalkeepers. You have to draft one Goalkeeper in the first 11 rounds.

That’s it for now. The game will hopefully start at 12 noon GMT on Thursday. That should give everyone enough time to figure out the rules and make plans. We may start earlier depending on sign up.

As I’ve said above there will be a definitive result this time! I’ve set up a custom league ready to be simulated, I just have to add your players once selected and fingers crossed we’ll have the results and champion before the Leeds match

Thanks everyone and enjoy the game!

@Oxeki online. Go, go, go !!!

Surely picking another Real player now

@Uncle Good-Advice and @SA Gunner

@pigge

Hang around for a bit longer we should be able to get your picks done.

 

[Rex Stone]

@Oxeki ignore that last Sapient post he’s just redoing his last one.

You’re still on the clock.

 

[Trilly]

FOMO kicking in?

Guy needs to accept the choices he made. Reminds of the annoying cousin who never wants to play but is standing over your shoulder criticising every move you make on fifa.

 

[Uncle Good-Advice]

[Rex Stone]

Guys you know original Ronaldo never played in a CL final right?

@Uncle Good-Advice gonna have to change it

 

[albakos]

I am also done with my pick seconds after yours. Had it drafted and all ready to hit Post Reply. Was bricking that you'd steal The Desert Maradona in front of me

 

[Uncle Good-Advice]

Guys you know original Ronaldo never played in a CL final right?

@Uncle Good-Advice gonna have to change it

Wow. Amazing. Xavi 08/09, so be it.

 

[Rex Stone]

Wow. Amazing. Xavi 08/09, so be it.

@albakos can you do the honours

 

[albakos]

@albakos can you do the honours

Already did so and included a pic as team @Juan Matas Beard @Gooner416 looks in awe of Xavi

 

[Rex Stone]

@Oxeki I’d maybe change the Sol Campbell year?

Not a great record that season after he left the team even though he got a goal in the final.

Get that he still played 6 games but he missed all the knockouts basically.

You can pick any year he was in the CL for us.

 

[Uncle Good-Advice]

I still can't believe that one of the best players in history never played in CL final. I bet you have waited for this pick @Rex Bezos

 

[pigge]

Wow. Amazing. Xavi 08/09, so be it.

I was butthurt from being saved then, god bless you @Uncle Good-Advice

 

[A_G]

Guys you know original Ronaldo never played in a CL final right?

@Uncle Good-Advice gonna have to change it

Wow, so embarrassing. Glad I wasn’t about to pick him or anything.

 

[Rex Stone]

Yeah it’s absolutely insane right!?

Got close in the semis in 2003 but that dead Juve team got to the final instead.

Spent time playing for Barca and Inter when they weren’t very strong unfortunately.

 

[Rex Stone]

Ffs the Drog is actually an unreal pick.

Never seen anything like that run to the final he had. Huge goals against Barca and Bayern.

Much easier hating from outside of the club when I can’t be asked to go in

Razza at RWB would a fantastic pick. Go for it otherwise @Oxeki might just do it

 

[Rex Stone]

@Juan Matas Beard wondering which Neville brother to pick I’m hearing
