Debuchy. The least worst of five of the worst right backs I can think of.

Thoughts on 5 for the CB’s and 7,8,9 for the midfielders getting a second pick from the options before others have had their first?

None of those numbers get a shot at first pick from their options in the way the rest will have.

Or, I could throw in a couple of wildcards from before the 90’s at the start of each pick. EG, 8 in the pecking order is due for their turn at being first so I throw in Brady and Rice to give them the choice.

Going for Chambers of the two, for the sole reason he’s actually a defender.

And that brings an end to the RB picks :sunglasses:

@arsenescoatmaker up first for the CB’s, with his defence already starting to have the famous back four look about it. Will that continue :thinking:

5 @SRCJJ - Sol, Mertesacker
6 @Cristo - Keown, Vermaelen
7 @Phoebica - O’Leary
8 @Ocke - Bould
9 @Jules - Mustafi
10 @Craigie - McLintock
1 @Echoes - Toure
2 @Sol - Koscielny
3 @Robin_L - Gallas
4 @arsenescoatmaker - Adams

CB
Grimandi, Upson, Stepanovs, Cygan, Senderos, Luiz, Sokratis, Djourou, Gabriel, Holding, Silvestre,

Game on!

@Mr_Nostalgia you missed Silvestre

Tony Adams please, my defense so far:

Dixon Adams…Winterburn

Now I have to wait for 19 picks for Mustafi to spoil it all

McLintock and Silvestre added as wildcards

@SRCJJ now gets two picks

(I will do same system for the four midfielder picks, adding 6 wildcards from previous years)

Oh do I get 2 picks too? If so I’d also have Campbell. 2 picks seems heavily weighted to the person in a 2 pick position. Not sure it’s fair.

Only SRCJJ, as he doesn’t get first dibs on the better players when it’s his turn to be first at the start of the next pick (this system will skip his go now anywho)

Sorry, didn’t think that far ahead so scrambled to come up with something that will kind of make it fair :grin:

Why not just do single picks for each position? Otherwise it’s weighted to whoever is in a high position when the 2 picks come into force.

It’s hard to do that for the midfielders and attackers without dictating to you guys which formation to use :frowning: And that isn’t something I wanted to do :grin:

@arsenescoatmaker when you think about, it’s only an extra 3 players others will be missing out on for the midfielders.

6 wildcards will be thrown in with the midfielders, so I can assure you there will be plenty of big names to go around :grin:

Those I have in mind:

George Graham
Liam Brady
George Armstrong
Charlie George
Alan Ball
Graham Rix

Any suggestions welcome

@Cristo feel free to give me 3 options, in order,of who you’d like :face_with_monocle:

Sol, Keown, Toure
