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!

Uhh on Schmeichel let's just say he's the best keeper I've seen so far by far ratings wise

@Trilly

 

[Juan Matas Beard]

Man’s got Pires bombing down the wing like a French Adama Traore.

Will have no choice but to cut inside onto his weaker left where he’ll be battling with hero ball Stevie G oh and also Kaka.

Meanwhile none of them will actually get to do anything while prime CR7 is taking 1537 shots a game.

Anyway none of this matters because Puyol, Schmeichel and Makelele will all fall apart trying to play out from the back against a moderate wind let alone a high press.

Horrible.

Bro just tell me you’re rattled without sending me a bible passage.

From my perspective, my team v your team

Van basten > Stoichkov
Aguero > Romario
Zidane > Di maria
Scholes > modric
Robben < Giggs
Cambiasso < rikjaard
TAA < Cafu
Pique < Maldini
Carvalho < Desailly
Cole > Zambrotta
Oblak > Lehmann



cba with subs, tried to get ur best team not sure how you wanna line up tho.

No way Aguero better than Romario, or giggs better than Robben; but pretty fair otherwise

 

[Farzad Stoned]

@albakos casually shifted a certain player out of the team. I see what you done there.

Looks stronger with 10 men on the pitch tbf respect

@albakos isn’t at fault ever since he teamed up with the shifty Moroccan rug salesman he has been viciously passive aggressive. It’s like playing Rummy with my mother’s old lady friends

 

[Rex Stone]

7 teams done now... hopefully have a complete set some time tomorrow

Scholes better than Modric

I'm not playing Zambrotta and Lehmann either.

Better than Casillas?!

 

[Rex Stone]

Better than Casillas?!

Haven’t done your team yet but yeah he’s top of the leaderboard so far

 

[pigge]

Scholes better than Modric

I'm not playing Zambrotta and Lehmann either.

Can't believe you laugh at Scholes better than Modric.

 

[Rex Stone]

Scholes better than Modric

Word of warning you've got the Spuds Modric from 2010/11 not the GOAT midfielder from a decade later

Levels - @Trilly tells me he’s a clogger though.

Three things...

1) Real recognise real
2) That killing was one of the worst for me in the Wire
3) If it wasn't up to the sim and it was up to AM you couldn't torture that admission out of me

Tbf the Modric picked is the eunuch version that was playing CAM for Tottenham.

 

[Rex Stone]

Also don't rule out the Sapient Hawks FC just yet...

They've got the best defender so far

AM will be in dustbin if a our lone Manc wins the competition while chasing earbuds and riding around looking at Hippos and Lions, and dealing with an AWOL teammate. It will shake people. If I don’t win i am rooting for you mate you had most deal with.

Finished the safari yesterday after 3 days of cold showers, lizards, difficult to eat food and no power. Checking in to the resort especially at this time made me appreciate this a lot more.

Bro, instead of blame game, your only worry should be Where.Is.Terry

Ngl that was a painful watch seeing Bodie kill off Wallace like that.

On Schmeichel, he was an exceptional keeper but it would be interesting seeing him in this era when everyone is placing an emphasis on GK’s playing out from the back. Ngl I’d rather have GK who does the basics than someone like Podsdale or Ederson who are praised for passing.

Bro I don’t do extreme vacays. At home i even have a fully automated toilet seat that washes, heats my bum, and dries it. So i suppose Safari isn’t for me
