I think people should just make use of having someone vote for them by proxy.
 
Yep. If you aren't gonna be on for a while then just PM someone your pick.
 
Has anybody actually got a team in mind or a certain style and flair they are going for or is it simply, pick the best available?

Jean Pierre Papin:

First 3-4 picks are best available. Have a style in mind, won't be difficult to fit 3-4 people in it.

I've a formation in mind, but depending on the players, might chance thins round...
 
I am having trouble here, deciding who to pick next - I know what players I want but it is about making sure I prioritise them.
 
I have typed out three different players before this one, trying to ensure I get who I need - great strikers are going quite quickly so that has forced my hand. I therefore choose Jurgen Klinsmann - World Cup winner and more than 100 caps for Germany.

I might be shooting myself in the foot because of the team this guy played for but I'm not trying to win a popularity contest (hopefully)

Klinsmann was already picked by Team Brian GB:)

Cal? said:
I decided on Redondo instead.

Redondo is a good pick as well:)
Deciding between the two hinges on the position one is looking to fill,
For a defensive midfield position, I would go for Redondo
For a centre midfield position, I would go for Effenberg, his all-round ability and leadership, his passing and goals, a bona fide midfield general
 
Couldn't bring myself to pick Effenberg. fecking loathed that cnut. Really disliked Bayern and the Germans in the late 90's.
 
Sorry about that.

I'll have World cup winning captain, Dunga

I will be going to bed very shortly. I'm going to PM Ralaks with my pick as he is after me and therefore cannot steal my idea.

Is this ok with everyone?
 
Sounds fine - you've just got to hope that nobody picks him before its your go though!

That would be good, keeps things moving in the interest of everybody, others could follow your example too - PM someone after you in the queue to help you post the pick when you are not going to be around
