    That should be a new rule.

    If you haven't picked within 24 hour window then you are assigned a rabid inbred Hun.

    That would make things interesting.

    I vote to pass this new legislation.

    We should probably consult a poster who isn't part of the draft that would remain impartial on such a subject....

    @Padmill, please pick a player when you're next on.

    We need to get this moving though, so @Keano88 can make his pick.

    If anyone updates the list, add (+1) to @Padmill's team until he can pick.

    Another 100,000,000v's to anyone who updates the categories tally. I'm at work so can't do it just now.

    @Minty

    Someone might want to double check, but this should be the updated list:


    1. Pick a player that has scored in a World Cup tournament. = 6 picks
    2. A player with zero international caps = 0 picks
    3. A player who has won three top division titles in different countries = 3 picks
    4. A player who represented a different country than the one he was born in, at international level = 4 picks
    5. Footballers who played a match in the 19th century = 0 picks
    6. UK born players who played abroad = 5 picks
    7. A player who has won Ballon d'or = 6 picks
    8. Players who have played in more than one European Cup/CL final = 7 picks
    9. Players who became a manager = 8 picks
    10. Player who scored in a CL/European Cup final = 2 picks
    11. Players that have played for both sides of a notable rivalry = 9 picks
    12. One club players = 8 Picks
    13.Has beaten England in an international match = 10 picks
    14. A player who was born in the 60's or 70's = 6 picks
    15. A player who has between 15 and 30 international goals = 3 picks
    16. A player who has played for 5 clubs or more (loans do count, B/C teams do not) = 5 picks

    Possibly the greatest technique of any striker ever.
    Here's a certain goal he scored in a World Cup that you might have seen.

    I will pick soon.

    By the way, it's great when people do a write up and big up their players. For me, part of the enjoyment of drafting is learning more about new players or players I don't know as well.

    I also enjoy a wee write up or even just a picture of the player does the job.

    I like that as well.

    Only reason I've not done it often is because I've been on my phone during most picks and don't have the time. Will try and do it for the remaining ones if I can.
