This may be the last update I post for this as there seems to be a distinct lack of interest in it. Over 48 hours ago I posted an update that has been viewed by nearly 100 people but none chose to post, so I looked back over the thread and out of 19 people, only 8 posted more than once and of the remaining 11, 3 never posted at all. Now for 10 seasons worth of updates it averages just under 4 posts per update, and just over 1 post per day since the thread started(these figures do not include my posts). So the winner may be declared from the standings from this update.

You notice how mentioning the lack of interest brings all the lurkers out of the woodwork :p

Your not wrong there Biscotti

I would've thought the drastic increase in the rankings of some nations might have given people a reason to post, or even that they were stuck at clubs that were not playing them to their full potential or even playing them at all. One player is even sitting on 199 CA and I would be expecting them to be in the running for WPOTY.

I want to complete this cause far too many of these threads don't make it past 5 seasons, so I might just continue holidaying to see how the next couple years pan out.

I realise that this is my first comment in this game, but have been following the career of Paolo Bambino with interest and his efforts with PNG. Very pleased with his career, good if not spectacular, to be named Oceania player of year 5 times is great achievement, and now hopefully can extend that with moving to Lyon.

Again sorry for lack of involvement, but please KUTGW
