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.

[albakos]

Player of the Season in the distant 1996/97, bringing Brazilian flair to the team in the attacking midfielder role, helped a very poor Boro side to two finals.

It's Juninho Middlesbrough.

@2Smokeyy @Clrnc go !

 

[2Smokeyy]

Kieran Trippier (Newcastle)

10 assists in his first season coming back to the league as well as the PL team of the year. Solid fullback who provides an attacking threat.

@A_G

 

[A_G]

Moises Caicedo, Brighton & Hove Albion



The perfect player to build the centre of my midfield around

@RunTheTrap

 

[RunTheTrap]

Give me Michael Olise.

@Tir Na Nog

 

[Tir Na Nog]

A cult hero among West Ham fans, carried them for several seasons when they looked doomed.

@Sulosky

 

[Sulosky]

Scott Parker and also West Ham

@Taylor Gang Gunners pick twice

 

[Taylor Gang Gunners]

My time to shine!

I choose Man Utd's Dimitar Berbatov


2010/11 Golden Boot winner. Clinical, composed finisher who could also create chances. Insane first touch, bettered only by Dennis Bergkamp.

My second choice is
Our GAFFER! Mikel Arteta at Everton!


Everton's player of the season in 05/06 and again in 06/07. Wonderful technician who blessed us with some beautiful strikes. ILY gaffer!

 

[Sulosky]

And my pick is David Ginola (Newcastle)

@Tir Na Nog

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I'll pick Toby Alderwiereld Sp**s

@RunTheTrap

 

[RunTheTrap]

Ngl I used up all my big clubs option, so I'm forced to settle for mid-table plumbers. But then I remembered there's a PL winning captain still available. Captain Morgan mi bumbaclaart!

@A_G

[A_G]

Branislav Ivanovic, Chelsea



A powerhouse of a RB who gets to reunite with an old friend

@2Smokeyy + @Clrnc

 

[2Smokeyy]

Marcel Desailly (Chelsea)

Had to pair a rock solid CB with Tony Adams. We thought someone would have snapped him up by now, so we left it until late but since nobody did we had to strike. Top class player.

@albakos

 

[albakos]

Next up is the one striker who put fear into opposition defenders while wearing black and white (too bad he chose the wrong red though).

Key figure in helping his team win their first trophy in decades and the one who truly got away from us.

It's Alexander Isak (Newcastle)

🦆, you're up next!

 

[The Ducking Duck]

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham). This guy will give you lots of goals and assists.

@Sapient Hawk

 

[A_G]

Right with @Sapient Hawk nowhere to be found again we call on the randomiser

We end up with…

Adrian Mutu, Chelsea



A meme player for a meme team

@Oxeki

 

[Rex Caudillo]

@Oxeki picks a guy whose career should have turned out very differently to how it did.

Bounced around a lot of top clubs (and Sp**s) but never hit the heights he found with us for that glorious spell…



It’s Emmanuel Adebayor (Arsenal)

@JMB you’re up mate

 

[JMB]

Christian Eriksen (Tottenham), assist king in his prime. Regularly collecting 15+ per league.

@UpTheGunnerz

 

[UpTheGunnerz]

Emiliano Martinez Aston Villa

Now I personally want to go on record saying that I can’t stand this man and his inclusion in my gorgeous eleven leads a part of me to be actively rooting for the downfall of my team

But AM tells me he is class and hangs dong

@GDeep™

 

[GDeep™]

Well, one of the key players of the Arsenal back line. A top keeper if not a generational great.

Brentford Raya, even though it’s an Arsenal picture.

@OnlyOne

 

[OnlyOne]

Super player here. Reece James before he was born.

Glenn Johnson Portsmouth please



Wow. Engine.

@Rex Caudillo @jones
