PluckaDuck Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 The Isles of Scilly all the way down in division 4, though I'm pretty pleased that we have Hugo Lloris and Scotty Sinclair to our name.

Adamw Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the County Championship draft! The draw has been made, and I can now reveal the two players each county has been allocated. At the same time, you will also know which division each team has been in.Divsion One Derbyshire - Pablo Piatti, Bojan Durham - Luka Modric, Scott Carson Gloucestershire - Kaspars Gorkss, Aaron Ramsey Hampshire - Jack Collison, Alex Witsel Kent - Adam Chambers, Georginio Wijnaldum Lancashire - Lionel Messi, Paul McVeigh Nottinghamshire - Gylfi Sigurdsson, Ikechukwu Uche Somerset - Iker Casillas, Nasser Hussain Sussex - Kolo Toure, Pio Crisci Warwickshire - Ashley Chambers, Dele Adebola Worcestershire - Jay Spearing, Julio Arca Yorkshire - Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Jermaine Beckford Division Two Cambridgeshire - Liam Drew, Titus Bramble Cornwall - Alan Lee, Ryan Giggs Dorset - Daryl Murphy, Darren Huckerby Essex - Goran Pandev, Dentinho Glamorgan - Dong-Ki Kim, Lucas Leiva Leicestershire - Roger Johnson, Miroslav Klose Middlesex - Gojko Kacar, Mario Balotelli Northamptonshire - Andy Reid, Emmanuel Adebayor Staffordshire - Sergio Aguero, Simon Cox Surrey - Kaka, Andrei Arshavin Division Three Berkshire - Aaron Lennon, Gabriel Agbonlahor Buckinghamshire - Dimo Wache, Fernando Torres Cheshire - Mattia Priori, Igor Akinfeev Cumbria - Daniele Vantaggiato, Jack Wilshere Devon - Michael Brown, Deividas Semberas Hertfordshire - Michael O'Connor, Michael Duberry Lincolnshire - David Beckham, Edin Dzeko Shropshire - Daniel Sturridge, Fabian Delph Suffolk - Frank Lampard, Antti Niemi Wiltshire - Paul Gallagher, Karim Benzema Division Four Bedfordshire - Bernd Schneider, Juan Manuel Mata Herefordshire - Thierry Henry, Michael Dawson Isle of Man - Joseph Yobo, Steven Gerrard Isle of Wight - Cristiano Ronaldo, Carlton Cole Isles of Scilly - Hugo Lloris, Scott Sinclair Merseyside - Juan Roman Riquelme, Ronaldo Norfolk - Julian Speroni, Gianluigi Buffon Northumberland - Theo Walcott, Cesc Fabregas Oxfordshire - Darren Bent, David Villa Rutland - James Beattie, Ashley Young I've organised the divisions like this - the teams in the real County Championship are either in Division One or Division Two. Some Minor Counties make up the rest of Division Two, all Minor County sides are in Division Three, and some Minor Counties are in Division Four. Then the teams that have no county cricketing team are in Division Four as well. Just to put it on the new page. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisescummer Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Hmm, not to great for Glamorgan, an unknown Korean Donkey and a dodgy Brazillian. And after I piut Aguero in the draw for you all! Hopefully Tosh can work his magic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
elliotick Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 looks like the winner of league two is already decided unless they get injured ( i hope not though, im not twisted like that ) or they sell them for cash and don't spend... any guesses Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greasy Chip Butty Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 My team (Yorkshire) have a decent draw in Ibrahimovic and Beckford. We should get goals and are in Division 1. Surrey should walk Division 2 with Kaka and Arshavin. Division 3 - Berkshire and Shropshire both have excellent draws and will become a major force in 2/3 seasons time (Lennon and Agbonlahor/Sturridge and Delph) whilst Division 4 will be between Isle of Wight (Carlton Cole should score for fun with Cristiano Ronaldo on the wing) and Northumberland (Walcott and Fabregas) in the first season. Devon: Congratulations on receiving the Lord Michael Brown. I hope he is more Wigan 08/09 than Sheffield United 02/03 for you though! Rutland (where?!): James Beattie will score goals with Ashley Young supplying the bullets! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raware Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 A Reading reserve and a Zaragoza striker with a poor scoring record who couldn't hit a barn door.

Adamw Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Season 07-08 Here's a sort of pre-season update, just to keep you going... Here are the top 10 players by CA at the start of this Player CA County ------------------------------------- Kaká 190 Surrey Iker Casillas 188 Somerset Lionel Messi 188 Lancashire Gianluigi Buffon 187 Norfolk Cristiano Ronaldo 187 Isle of Wight Zlatan Ibrahimovic 186 Yorkshire Steven Gerrard 183 Isle of Man Cesc Fabregas 180 Northumberland Frank Lampard 179 Suffolk David Villa 179 Oxfordshire Here the top potential players at the start (I've only included regens in this) Player PA County Position ------------------------------------------------ Paul Jordan 195 Leicestershire LB Mark Woolley 189 Surrey CB Chris Gooding 186 Lancashire CM Dan Beevor 186 Yorkshire RB George Jones 182 Somerset GK Dave Ballard 182 Lincolnshire AML Martin Cole 181 Staffordshire CM John Cresswell 177 Oxfordshire ST Matty Blackman 175 Warwickshire GK José Carlos Álvarez 174 Northamptonshire LM And finally, the 5 worst players by PA Player PA County ------------------------------------------- Craig King 45 Hertfordshire Lee Pollock 46 Leicestershire Tom Bridges 48 Essex Ben Houghton 49 Nottinghamshire Michael Young 50 Durham Finally, I'll also be monitoring Scotland's UEFA Co-efficient points, to see whether it increases or decreases, and with it, European spots, to see whether they increase or decrease. So as a result, I've replaced Celtic/Rangers etc. in the European competitions and replaced them by: Durham - Champions League Nottinghamshire - Champions League Hampshire - Europa League Somerset - Europa League Scotland's starting points is 30.500 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

skullage Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Very happy with Benzema! Also Paul Gallagher is alright too.

nine_iron Posted September 12, 2009 Share Posted September 12, 2009 Lincolnshires two main local rivals, Notts and Derby are in the top league so no derby matches , so happy to have beckam and Dzeko, have a great supply/set piece taker as well as a decent striker to boot! What have you put as our stadium? I have a logo pack for lincolnshire, it comes with my lincolnshire and humberside database but it would take a bit of time and that will detract from the quality of updates you give for this so dont worry about it. Was just an idea. I think Lincs will be mid/upper table come the end of season 1 but not in the top few spots sadly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adamw Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Season 07-08 - End of Season Report Division One Somerset were top all season. Their form stuttered slightly towards the end of the season but they still staved off the challenge from Worcestershire, who will venture into the Champions League. Hampshire gained the Europa League spot on goal difference. At the bottom, Derbyshire never competed and so will head into Division 2 next season Division Two The title race went down to the last match, and it was Leicestershire won ended up on top, winning by just a point ahead of Surrey, who were unlucky to miss out. At the other end of the table, Glamorgan went down after a terrible season. You'll have to wait and see what happened in the play-offs however with Cornwall Division Three Jose Mourinho's Buckinghamshire were comfortable winners. Down the bottom, 4 points separated 5th and bottom place, but in the end, it was Shropshire who went down. Lincolnshire are in the play-offs, but can they survive? Division Four Isle of Wight were always up at the top and it would've been harsh had they not finished top. Rutland miss out on the play-offs because Herefordshire have scored more goals then them, while Northumberland were poor and are deservedly bottom. Play-Offs In the Div 2/3 play-offs, Cornwall lost to their neighbours Devon in the semi-final ensuring that Cornwall would be in Div 3 next season. Devon lost in the final to Cheshire, who had beaten Cumbria, to book their place in Division 2 next season. The Div 3/4 play-offs, the team facing the prospect of relegation, in this case Lincolnshire, were condemned to their fate in the semi-finals after a defeat to the Isles of Scilly. Herefordshire won the other semi-final against Merseyside, and Herefordshire beat the Isles of Scilly in the final to win promotion. Cups Friends Provident Trophy - Durham qualifed for the Europa League after beating Essex in the final. It finished 1-1 after normal time and extra time, and Durham won 5-4 on penalties. League Cup - Middlesex beat Yorkshire 3-1 in the final to win the League Cup, but no European spot comes with it. Challenge Cup - Open to teams from Divisions Two, Three and Four, it was contested by an all Div 2 final, with Surrey coming out as victors in a 2-1 triumph over Northamptonshire Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
