I thought you might have had him in mind in keeping up your La Liga theme. Mauro is a great shout.

Hm. Yeah. Here goes nothing. I'll be surprised if I get away with this. Should've done some more drinking before submitting, but feck it.
Shit. This round could make or break my side. Two beard loving gladiators.
Are you guys already submitting picks?
Yeah that's fine, Deschamps can cover for Miller 
Looks good to me.
So predictable. That's what I was getting at with the whole hating seeing him go through in second/third attempts, all very predictable players that I wouldn't mind as second choice either!
Pick sent in.
Cool, updated them in the picks list.
Seems most did, even with their pick of the round comments. I'd been fretting over him for three rounds now, clearly unnecessary.
He was definately in mind but securing a robust ball winner was more of a priority given I already had a left sided attacker
Alright picks sent, hope I made the right decisions...
Can see why Stobz and KM were chuffed with their pick. Landing Weah is a great effort.
Had him in a shortlist of 3 lined up for a spot alongside Mendieta. Good pick. Versatile too
Not sure what to make of this, the two I was waiting for qualify but are also very likely to get blocked in this format. Bollocks!!!!!!!!!!!
It was a u-turn as well I think. For the best given that the first player I had in mind would have ended up blocked.
Picks for this round are submitted.
That's a beautiful criterion. If I get both my picks, my team is awsome
Stay clear of CMs or else Lahm is block-blocked throughout the last round!
Midfield sorted, not many will fancy coming up against this lot:
@AldoPaine18 The two players I pick don't have to be for the same player right? For example, I can have one Czech player for Nedved and one Barca former player for Laudrup? Or it has to be like a Czech player who played with Laudrup in Barca?
Just realised Djemba-Djemba may well turn out to be particularly useful here 
Russell Crowe did have a good season with Montero back in the day.
The former. Independent criteria.
Eh? Oh, the gladiator bit...
Beard, Gladiator, bad joke essentially.
It is up to you if you wanna use the same player or two different players to associate A and B.
Pick sent.!
And let me get if got it correctly, qualifying tournaments for national teams don't count?
Can see this one going quickly, hopefully. An exciting round.
They don't.
I reckon someone might get an absolute coup with a defender here
@AldoPaine18 Changing my pick. Sending new PM now.
National teams are a bitch for me, Denmark without the big Dane, Czech, Chile, Righetti never been to a final round team, and Greece
After the Guardiola debacle, I think this has some merit:

Montero never had the sort of beard Tito is going on about though. Gladiator yep, absolutely. It's an outrage he didn't get nabbed under the red card theme!
