It’s going to be a snake draft so the order will reverse at the end of the round. You will have a 60 minute window to make your pick, but if you’re online when your time comes it’s 10 minutes before you get a randomised player. The game will be paused overnight.

Please make sure to tag the next player to keep the game moving quickly.

For the final @Sapient Hawk tuah picks:

Carl Hoefkens, West Brom

Who? Exactly.

For the Wildcard pick, I tinkered with the randomiser to get someone worthy and ended up with…

Gianfranco Zola, Cagliari

Can he bring class to whatever this group of players is?

 

[The Ducking Duck]

Milos Kerkez, Bournemouth

--

Pascal Gross, Bighton

Wildcard: Davor Suker, Real Madrid

 

[albakos]

First pick is a tricky striker who could hurt you when you least expected it

Roque Santa Cruz (Blackburn)

Second pick is a very solid versatile defender who can play across the backline. Winner of 5 Premier League titles... it's

John O'Shea (Sunderland)

And finally, I resisted having a Sp**s player, but then a chance to pick a elite midfielder in his prime was a chance I couldn't let it pass as a final pick.

Dele Alli (Sp**s)

@2Smokeyy @Clrnc it's been a pleasure, the final pass of the baton is now over to you gents!

 

[Clrnc]

Then give me Stoke’s Robert Huth in defence




And then to finish it off, give me the Swedish Ward Prowse and former Gooner - Seb Larrson from Sunderland

Phil Bardsley, can play LB/RB or as a wing back makes him a good option
