Jésus Navas:

Jesús Navas González (Spanish pronunciation: [xeˈsus ˈnaβas]; born 21 November 1985 in Los Palacios y Villafranca, Seville) is a Spanish footballer who currently plays for Sevilla FC in the Spanish first division, as a right winger.

His main asset is his dribbling skills; occasionally, he can play on the other flank.

Doesn't matter anyway as the draw is being redone.
 
Yeah, looks like he's doing it again.

Jesus Navas plays for Sevilla. Good player.
 
I have Aguero, Huntelaar and Julio Cesar...

No more strikers!! need defenders and midfielders!
 
Ah found via wiki that he's sevillas no.7 a winger, although this worries me:
He suffers from chronic homesickness,[5] to the extent he walked out of training camps within Spain because they were too far away from Seville; he also suffers from anxiety attacks and seizures. Navas initially refused to travel with Sevilla during pre-season to the United States due to his acute homesickness, later deciding that he would travel in a bid to rid himself of this condition.

-------Cesar---------
?--?---Evans---?
Quaresma-?-?-?
----Aguero-Huntelaar----

Good core to the team I guess, apart from Quaresma.
 
R.Nillson has a destructive front line. Eto'o and Torres...
 
So i've - Kaka, Moutinho, Palacios (i am assume Wilson), Vucinic and Muntari.

--------Palacios
Kaka------------Muntari
------Mountinho

Not a bad midfield and with Vucinic just infront.
 
Now that the draw is done of the best players, and we have our core bunch, what does everyone think of a 'free dip' (i.e. you can pick ANY player that has not been up for selection until now) i.e. a team that is attack heavy might want to pick, I dunno, umm Upson or something?
Too complicated?
 
--------------GK---------------
RB-----Vidic------Diakhaté-----Felipe
-----------De Rossi-------------
Milner-----------AMC-------------AML
-----------------FC-----------------

hmm pretty solid defensively
 
I think one more is going too far. Stick to what it is now otherwise there will be too much work for niMic.
 
I might have to play 4-3-2-1 with the players I've got (Diego, Anderson, Lahm, Özil and Agger)

GK

Lahm - Agger - CB - RB

Anderson- CM- CM

Özil - Diego

Striker​

Fits quite well actually.

There are plenty of other quality developing players around 2011/2012.

There's one Moldovan at Sporting Lisbon. Midfielder I think. Stats are great.
 
I missed out I see.

Flying Fox don't worry about it, my internet's too slow ATM for me to backtrack and find out what's going on.

Plus Diarra and Sessengon aint shit compared to what everyone else has chosen.

Well you also picked up Cech, Sakho and Reyes.

Not a bad haul.....one of the best (in terms of balance)
 
Ah fair enough, I'll take that. Cheers.

Was everyone given them, or did we raffle off picks and people chose who they wanted?

So what do I do from here? Make my formation? Will the other places in my side be sorted out for me or do I pick from the dregs?

I guess I'll be lining up as:

Cech

RB - Sakho - CB - LB

Diarra - Sessegnon

AMR - AMC - Reyes

Forward​

I chose the top 150 players (in terms of value) from my FM2010 game in the 2011/2012 season. Each of these players was given an id number 1-150. The draw was split up into groups of 30 with the 30 id numbers being randomised and handed out to us 'managers'.

These 5 players will form the core of your team. I think niMic had another idea regarding filling out the roster, he can tell you more about that.

If the random lotto is going to continue, I'll now go by positions. Then trade might be a possibility.

You will also need to fill out the club template niMic has given at the start of the thread.
