No, that's not possible. You can only use the players you had at the start of Round 6 to link A and B.

God, I'm dreading this round more than any previous. Can break a team if this goes south!
NM is four hours behind so he's probably still asleep. Once he's awake we'll be able to make our pick pretty much straight away.
Assumed so, but just thought I'd ask
I'd love it if someone actually attempted that loophole 
I think one manager is enough. The assistant manager is just dragging this instead quickening the research!
Yes it is absurd. Normally you take an AM so that he can deputize in your absence. Here it seems to drag it down over whose turn it is and what not.
New draft rule, only assistant maangers in your own time zone.
Apart from KM because he has been bad ass and I've rarely had to press ahead without consulting him.
Nope, haven't received any PMs from either of them.
You guys will be waiting for nm eitherway, give us thirty min. The picks will be in. Its hard to satisfy the tournament criteria when the only good nation you have is argentina.
@sullydnl make the pick based off PMs

So if you try and pair up two players with Péle and Maradona in the first round and fail with both, you can't try and pair up two players with Cruyff and Platini in the next round? The first pair of players are the consistent reference point for this round?
No.
In the end you need to get a player who was a club teammate and another who was a teammate for the NT for two player you already had in your team before the round started.
So, the only remark is that if you got one player, say A, and failed B you cannot use A to find a link and pick B in the next two picks.
In your question, yes you can change the player to find a link in the next two picks as long as he was in your team before the round started.
Well I knew it, the only normal player I could take from my players' NTs has been taken. feck off @sullydnl
Back to researching..
Thanks feck I dropped all that game theory stuff. An obvious pick if there ever was one, and I don't think the block was deliberate.
Shouldn't be possible as everyone would be trying to guess options for their rivals based on info avaiable, the player who passed is not available info to anyone but said manager.
Agreed. Surely there would have been sufficient discussion already on team/theme/sort of players you want that either can make a call.
Well yeah but I didn't get plenty of other options, and you'll realize it when you see who I ended up picking.
Try playing with Denmark without Schmeichel, Czech without Cech, Greece, Chile without Vidal and Croatia..
Assumed so, but just thought I'd ask
Logical as my response is above, I certainly would have tried to sneak it in if someone I wanted qualified under that logic
I agree with this. In fairness to Essien he was an all-rounder and one of the best I've ever seen at pressing and ball recovery at his peak.
Actually, it's the ones in different timezones that would be particularly handy, just strange that it works the complete wrong way around.
New draft rule: only AMs who can make decisions on their own, and managers who can make decisions without consulting their AMs.
Ouch. And I thought my options were bad.
Sure, but it was Makelele, Essien and AN other. AN other's contribution was quite significant to that team and very different to what Kaka would offer.
Our pick is made.
Results time?
I meant you were unlucky, it was obvious you had no other choice and it made no sense to go for a block.
The thought that I had a guaranteed keeper here is likely to haunt me in the next couple of rounds
@AldoPaine18 you online?
I found a player that I wish I'd take over A.Sanchez... God... A little more patience and my team would've been much better :SI meant you were unlucky, it was obvious you had no other choice and it made no sense to go for a block.

Our picks are in, waiting up on anyone else now.
That round was such a ballache for us.
That round was such a ballache for us
.Maybe so. Not sure who HIM is but I might've... I guess he'll be taken at this round... And he'll be perfect in my team. Seriously a tournament-changing lack of research by me.. I actually rate Sanchez really highly but not at this bloke's level, no doubt about that.In the two continents bit? You "found" HIM?
Come on! Can't wait to confirm the options Cutch took away from me. Cnut.

You might have to do it again.
Sounds like the one I'm thinking about.
Yeah, rpit, MJJ, NM and Sully, don't go anywhere if possible, you might have to pick again.
