SHire FC Drft
Steed Malbranque
Neal Eardley
Remember this one

FC Freljord drafts Tomas Kalas from Chelsea for their 4th pick overall.
FC Freljord drafts Jack Collison from West Ham for their 5th and last pick.
Have to say I should be happy with my first picks as I have missed the others.
1) Javier Hernandez
2) Vladimir Weiss
3) Lukasz Fabianski
4) Tomas Kalas
5) Jack Collison
With my assigned XI, FC Freljord is looking like a decent team for Europa League. Fingers crossed for Barca draft![]()

Thanks Kenco, been a long day I knew double checking wasn't enough!
Chelsea Australia drafts the scraps
James Tomkins
Andy King

Saku F.C
drafts <<Abdi Ibrahim>>
<<Tomas Kalas>>
It isn't anything that you see once in a million years but being able to see this one live was delightful![]()
I just noticed T.Kalas has already been picked...
I'll take A.Henshall instead.
I cant believe these two havent been mentioned so far!!! My luck is in
Shakhtar Senseless
4th Draft << Jonathan Woodgate >>
5th Draft << Steven Pienaar >>
Wootton Wanderers Draft
Jack Robinson
John Bostock
I'm a little bit late for the last two selections, and I see that all the players I had earmarked have gone! In that case
Essendon FC drafts... Herita Ilunga (West Ham), with one last pick to come (really struggling to find half decent players now!)
Ok, I've double check the lists and he doesn't seem to have been picked up by anyone, so in that case
Essendon FC drafts... Emmanuel Eboue (is he really still be available?)
So after raiding Arsenal with 3 of my 5 picks, my starting XI now looks as follows:
Essendon FC Starting XI
GK: Craig Gordon
DL: Herita Ilunga (pick 4)
DC: Joleon Lescott
DC: Wes Brown (pick 3)
DR: Emmanuel Eboue (pick 5)
ML: Jack Wilshere
MC: Alex Song (pick 2)
MC: Jermaine Jones
MR: Theo Walcott (pick 1)
ST: Alberto Gilardino
ST: Daniel Sturridge
S1: Alex Baptiste
S2: Craig Cathcart
S3: Stephen Crainey
S4: Jerome Thomas
S5: Andy Reid
So as you can see, I still have a very weak team (thanks again for the 4 Blackpool players GCB!), but after heavily strengthening my defence, I could do with another decent striker of winger in the Barcelona draft (or both in Messi!)
MarkyMark
may I refer to your team as the funky bunch once we get this thing rolling?
Rushden Phoenix hates illness :P
Drafts Peter Whittingham (Cardiff)
David Bentley (sorry if he's taken)
and one more once I have found someone :P
ok Whittinghams gone- Junior Stanislas of West Ham, and Stephen Pienaar (Tottenham)
Slightly different approach to others. This is one of my fave goals of all time.
One thing that CR definately has over Messi; aerial prowess.
That team isn't weak, not compared to mine at least. My defence has stars like Kevin Foley and George Elokobi, with O'Hara and Jarvis in midfield. I was hoping I would start in the Championship, as I might have a chance of scraping into the playoffs!
I am desperate for a striker or winger from Barca as well! Messi, Villa, Pedro, Bojan will all be fine. Do not need a D RC (Puyol) because I signed two in my draft.
AFC Slough
Drafts <<Danny Graham>>
Sorry I'm late...![]()
Stratford Rangers are lining up with something like this:
GK - Ben Foster
DR - Seamus Coleman
DL - Danny Collins
DC - Thomas Vermaelan
DC - Michael Dawson (Draft 2)
MR - Adam Johnson (Draft 1)
ML - David Silva
MC - Ayew
MC - Scott Parker
ST - Jo (Draft 4)
ST - Asamoah Gyan
Subs -
Michael Owen (Draft 3)
Danny Welbeck
Dedryck Boyata (Draft 5)
Antolin Alvarez
Clint Dempsey
Could do with a decent MC (Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets) or of course a Messi/Villa from the Barcelona draft. Actually i wouldn't mind Casillas to be fair!
Any thoughts people to my team, it isn't really what i was hoping for, certainly if we're competing in the Champions League!!!!
cookie, I would be extremely surprised if you got Casillas from the Barcelona draft...![]()
FC Freljord has completed their 16 player preliminary squad for now, with Barcelona draft pending and a wonderkid central midfielder is set to join the club's youth ranks.
Dani Alves would be the perfect fit for us from Barca draft but I wouldn't say no to the likes of Messi or Xavi. Any young & promising player, especially striker or goalkeeper is fine as well.Code:Goalkeepers --- Defenders --- Pepe Reina Carlos Cuellar Lukasz Fabianski (3rd pick) Bastos Nemanja Vidic Midfielders --- Fabio Coloccini Tomas Kalas (4th pick) Karl Henry Lucho Gonzalez Strikers --- Gary Taylor-Fletcher Arjen Robben Edin Dzeko Vladimir Weiss (2nd pick) Kevin Doyle Jack Collison (5th pick) Javier Hernandez (1st pick)

GCB, I just wanted to let you know that I won't be online until tomorrow afternoon..
Ruff Fc
Drafts - Barry Bannan and Fredrick Piquionne
Shakhtar Senseless 16-man Squad
GK - Gomes
RB - Stephen Kelly
LB - Jose Enrique
CB - Ricardo Carvalho
CB - Per Mertesacker
CM - Jack Rodwell
CM - Kim Kallstrom
RW - Aaron Lennon
LW - Robinho
ST - Pato
ST - Lisandro Lopez
Draft 1 - Nathan Delfouneso
Draft 2 - Magaye Gueye
Draft 3 - Alex Smithies
Draft 4 - Jonathan Woodgate
Draft 5 - Steven Pienaar
I was very happy with my starting 11 to be honest so my thinking during the draft was to get some promising youths in hence Delfouneso, Gueye and Smithies. Woodgate and Pienaar are here as back up if it goes the proverbial tits up.
Knowing my luck ill get valdes in the barca draft which would mean a wasted draft pick in SMithies. Hopeing for another Midfielder for strength in depth.
Im not to botherd about the manager draft as there are way more than 28 top quality managers out there, ill take my time on choosing that aspect. Although saying this i would be more swayed to a manager that uses a budget wisely due to my £20mil sponsorship money.
All in all its looking nice and i was dreading starting in the Championship with my starting 11 in the fear of them all leaving!
Congrats on this sign-up so far GCB! This must be a heck of a lot of work to put into this but as you have earlier, its going to be worth it. Keep up the good work
P.S. - How flexible are the tactics? is it a set in stone 4-4-2?
SOUTHSEA ATHLETIC
Starting Lineup
GK - Shay Given
DL - Leighton Baines
DR - Vedran Corluka
DC - Stéphane Mbia

RW - Pablo Barrera
ST - Mame Biram Diouf
ST - Fernando Torres
S1 - Wayne Hennessey
S2 - Max Gradel
S3 - Jon Walters
S4 - Daniel Pacheco
S5 - Shola Ameobi
Fingers crossed the gaffer (whoever he may be) signs up some backup defenders! Wouldn't mind a Puyol or a Pique in the draft. Villa or Messi or someone maybe to replace Diouf wouldn't be too bad either.
A1 F.C.
GK-Tim Howard

THE 'BARCELONA' DRAFT
24 players from FC Barcelona and 4 up and coming youngsters from Barcelona Atletico (the 'B' team) have been convinced to join the 28 new teams in the English leagues.
These players are:
Lionel Messi, Xavi, David Villa, Andres Iniesta, Dani Alves, Javier Mascherano, Gerard Pique, Victor Valdes, Carles Puyol,
Sergio Busquets, Eric Abidal, Pedro, Seydou Keita, Gabriel Milito, Ibrahim Afellay, Maxwell, Adriano, Martin Caceres, Bojan,
Jose Manuel Pinto, Keirrison, Henrique, Jeffren, Victor Sanchez + Andreu Fontas, Jonathan dos Santos, Thiago, Marc Muniesa
These 28 players will be randomly assigned to the 28 teams. It is entirely possible that Lionel Messi could be playing in the nPower Championship next season!
Nice, i wouldnt mind a Barcalona B youngster to be honest.
When is the barca draft? now?
I'll tell you right now, after getting 4 Blackpool players in the initial player allocation, I will not be happy if I end up with a player from the Barcelona B team!
THE 'BARCELONA' DRAFT
Marc Muniesa (B team) will be playing next season for Wootton Wanderers
Thiago (B team) will be playing next season for Discworld FC
Jonathan dos Santos (B team) will be playing next season for A1 FC

Pinto, a goalkeeper (my strongest position), most famous for getting sent off against Real while sitting on the bench. Brilliant.
Very happy with Masch.
THE MANAGER DRAFT
Each team has been given £100,000,000 as their starting balance with £50,000,000 of that as transfer budgets.
Nice little wedge ...
However, you need to spend some of that money on your new manager, up to the maximum of £50m!
The managers in the auction are the 28 managers who lost their jobs when their teams disappeared from the English leagues ... plus 10 more out of work managers that left those clubs recently.
Here is the list of 38 managers you can bid for:
Arsene Wenger, Gerard Houllier, Martin O'Neill, Alex McLeish, Steve Kean, Sam Allardyce, Ian Holloway, Owen Coyle, Carlo Ancelotti, David Moyes, Mark Hughes, Chris Coleman, Kenny Dalglish, Roberto Mancini, Alex Ferguson, Alan Pardew, Chris Hughton, Tony Pulis, Steve Bruce, Roy Keane, Harry Redknapp, Roy Hodgson, Roberto di Matteo, Avram Grant, Gianfranco Zola, Roberto Martinez, Paul Jewell, Mick McArthy, Neil Warnock, Brendan Rodgers, Paul Lambert, Dave Jones, Billy Davies, Steve McLaren, Brian McDermott, Simon Grayson, Eddie Howe, Brian Laws
PLEASE PM GCB WITH A LIST OF 10 MANAGERS (IN ORDER OF PREFERENCE) WITH THE MONEY YOU'D BE WILLING TO SPEND IN MILLIONS. THE LOWEST IS £1m, THE HIGHEST IS £50m, NO .5m or .25m etc ...
Biscuits? Could be worse. 442 defensive would work very nicely with my team.

So dissapointed with Gabriel Milito

keillison woop woop lol
I think I am favourites to go down to be honest.
Squad is weak

LM : Ryan Giggs
CM : Darren Pratley
CM : Toulalan

SUBS

Junior Holliett
your squad is decent, just lacking a bit of depth
Can we swap our drafts? :P
I know we probably cant yet but PLEASEEEE in the future
haha im not sure thats allowed! even still...HANDS OFF! joking
ill probably end up loosing half my team in the transfer window
GCB When will we find out about managers!!
Thanks
Sam
Thats reasureing GCB!
Two more picks...
Kasper Schmichael (so i have a reserve keeper) and Martin Kelly
Here is an example of a manager bid:
1. Warnock 10m
2. Rodgers 6m
3. Holloway 5m
4. Ferguson 10m
5. Ancelotti 7m etc ...
Obviously, you need 10 managers ...
Your first bid is the first one you've put there, e.g. 10m for Warnock.
Now if nobody else bids more than 10m for Warnock, he'd be your manager. However, lets say that somebody has bid 12m for Warnock so you've failed. Now we move to the second bid.
6m for Brendan Rodgers. Again, if yours is the highest bid, you'd get him. If not, the third bid comes into play. And so on ...
Whatever bid is accepted, that amount comes off your transfer budget and balance. So if you get Warnock for £10m, your balance goes down to £90m and your transfer budget is down to £40m.
You need to select ten bids for managers because there are 28 teams bidding. You're realistically not going to get your first choice unless you bid a lot. So you need a list of ten bids that I can look through until you get a manager. I might even end up asking you for more if none of your ten bids are successful.
@toonbalmy87:
Yes, you read that right, I think/hope. TEN bids.
PLEASE CHECK THE DARFT LIST IN POST #565 - SOME PEOPLE DRAFTED PLAYERS THAT HAD ALREADY GONE!
Some were highlighted by the other people on here, others weren't. If your draft is not on the list, there'll be a reason.
Chelsea Australia, Horden All Stars, Kuda Laut Gemilang and AFC Slough each have 2 picks left.
Wootton Wanderers have 1 pick left.
The deadline for these signings is MIDNIGHT (GMT) tonight.
PLAYER TRADING:
Please feel free to start trading players now. Use the thread or PM's to discuss deals with each other. Once a deal is agreed, BOTH TEAMS/USERS must post the deal in the thread. If it is not confirmed by both teams, I cannot accept it. The easiest way is for one person to post the deal and the other to quote it saying 'Confirmed' ...
e.g.
You can buy / sell a player for cash, you can swap players OR you can swap players and include some cash as well.Originally Posted by Manchester United
BEST THING TO DO:
Post a list of your players and indicate who you might be willing to trade. Also say what you would like to bring in.
Shakhtar Senseless - TRANSFER LIST
RB - Stephen Kelly (Trade for RB)
CM - Kim Kallstrom (Trade or cash)
Draft 1 - Nathan Delfouneso (Cash)
Dustbin Rovers Transfer List
Stephen Carr - SOLD
James Collins
Craig Gardner
Mulumbu
Beckford
The players I would want would primarily be strikers and central defenders. I don't need midfielders.

Lokking for a swap deal with Jussi and cash for a GK upgrade and to purchase a good striker. No one is for sale though, I'm just a buyer
