11. A player who represented the same club for more than 10 years.

Sounds kinky.

Makelele is probably the perfect player to have for a Gerrard midfield.

You plan to play him off the striker or in midfield?

In Midfield probably as Makelele really gives him total freedom like he did with a Zidane even. Though can be flexible and different sort of formation as we have 2 plans right now contingent on getting one of 2 other players.
 
Well I continue with the midfielders theme and one who meets a hard criteria.

Deco

Nice pick for the Category.

That Midfield dynamic would be interesting between Scholes/Keane and Deco.

Yeah, I had a hard time to find others in that criteria I wanted so I am thinking something like


Deco
Scholes Keane
​
Of course the option of a two man midfield of Scholes and Keane will also work but we will see what players I can get later on.

@rpitroda you are up!
 
I'm gonna PM m pick o Chesterlestreet because I won't be online until about 2 tomorrow, so notify him.
 
Back from the dead.

I have Boris' pick, so as soon as Trip makes his, I'll post both Boris' and mine.
 
Are you fecking kidding me? Gerrard was my one man short list for that criteria. And deco was pretty much my one man short list for another. Did you really need another midfielder?!

I need to think. They were literally my 2 options lol.
 
In a category where there really aren't many outstanding picks left, I go for ...

Arguably the best African player of all time.

George Weah.

I think it's too much personally, but could work depending on the rest of your team I guess!
 
Didn't someone play that Deco, Scholes , Keane midfield in one of the last few drafts and was heavily critcised for it? It looks so familiar.

He's rated fairly well to be fair. And he's in a number of tough criteria so with it in any case.

He'll be an issue if you put the complete burden of scoring on him, as his fairly average scoring rate would be brought up and to be fair he had a lot more to his game which is a bit wasted if he's used an outlet and nothing more, but if used in a setup where he can contribute in other phases and bring other goalscorers into play, he would be fine.
