I thought the last surprise was more 'friendly-manager': a mandatory swap.

For example, Raees/Invictus have offered Cech. P-nut offered Totti. So, we could have had a swap Cech-Totti for instance.

Good on you!

I have harms' and onenil's too. Spending the whole weekend doing DIY for the babies arrival so will be sober and checking regularly, you can all drop me a PM.
 
Pat's looking really punchy now as well. That central unit will be deadly from 25 yards.
 
Fully hit a brick wall this draft. What's going on. Everyone that is around and has their picks ready should send them to antohan and Edgar just so it speeds up when a pick is eventually made.
 
A Skype / live chat draft will be perfect. Even incorporate monopoly into it. Surely timezones don't need to matter for a one off event

Yeah I think Skype would be harder than just setting a time to start and saying maximum 5 minutes per pick. Nice and simple and can't be argued with.
 


Uploaded Finney's highlights in the 1954 FA Cup final. Not his best game and he wasn't fully fit to begin with but it's the only full game with him on the internet if I'm not missing something.
 
We pick this player:

@Jayvin

Sorry for leaving this so late. I only woke up recently, and Joga doesn't seem to be around to fill in.

I was so chuffed to discover that he was eligible under that criteria and that no one else could get to him first.

Cheers Gio. Its finally starting to come together now. Just need to get the right man to lead the line now to tie the attack together.

He's the forgotten man among the usual suspects, and there isn't a great body of footage to support his case.

However, as said many times before, he's a very plausible #3 behind Moore and Charlton in an all-time English list. Many will have him above the more celebrated ********, which is, say, indicative of his level.

If he had been born some decades later, he never would've ended up as the Preston Plumber, he would've been picked up by a larger club - and his reputation would've soared accordingly. Presumably, that is.

But yeah - he's essentially Scholes, a one-club man and a humble servant. Only better. Clearly - I would say.
