Christmas Tree Draft - Christmas Special Edition

I'm allowing the Inverted Christmas Tree formation - having said that, they have to be correct representations.

Fair, but how do they work tactically? Closest formation would be a 2-3-5...can we interpret the roles as similar?

This formation looks like it’s a 2341 to me, notice Bamford in his own line as a striker, then 4 behind him as wingers and attacking mids, and then a line of 3. Starting to look a bit like a Christmas tree

Some points to note:

Just checking is blocked list still banned and we are not restricted to losing pool of players for selections.

Also injuries - is Gerets now available or not and is there going to be more injuries?
 
I really should have added some of these to the reinforcement post. Knew I was forgetting somethings.

You can pick players who are on the blocked list for this round. Added to the reinforcement post,

Gerets is now available. You next round of games will have different injuries.

So how many times we can select for each round, before the sheep, @Himannv ?

3 rounds. Added this to the reinforcement post as well.

EDIT: or to be more specific 3 selections for the round.

Thanks mate.
 
@Himannv if we got a block can we choose the same player again or he remains blocked for all three rounds and have to repick someone else in R2?

Will pick shortly.
