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!)

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.

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!!!!

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.

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)

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.

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

DC - John Mensah

MC - Mathieu Valbuena

MC/AMC - Wesley Sneijder

LW - Joe Cole

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.

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 ...

Thanks

Sam

It'll not be until tomorrow as people need time to send their manager bids in. Maybe tomorrow evening.

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.

Sheffield United sell Nick Montgomery for £50m to Manchester United

Confirmed.

You can buy / sell a player for cash, you can swap players OR you can swap players and include some cash as well.

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.
