The Manager Disciples Draft We are all disciples of a manager of our choice, aspiring to build a team in their image. Round One... choose a manager and your first player. Rules 1. You must construct a starting XI in the tactical vision and football style of your chosen manager. 2. You cannot pick any players that actually played under your manager (i.e if you picked Jose Mourinho, you can't draft Didier Drogba). 3. We can only pick players born from 1950 onwards. Evaluation We aren't just picking the best players here. Instead, we are rating the team that represents the manager's philosophy and style the most. In your team profile it is advised you provide a description of your manager's key tactics, philosophy and playing style. An example team of your manager could also be included (i.e if you chose Carlo Ancelotti, you could post a picture of his AC Milan '07 Xmas tree formation, as your source of inspiration). Draft rules - Snake draft format - 4 hour pick deadline in your timezone (8am - midnight). - Leave player shortlists via WhatsApp/PM if you will be away for more than 4 hours.

Manager and player. I envisioned we picked a different manager each. (I.e I didn’t want 6 of us picking Klopp (the best manager in the world))
