Asia & Oceania(EXCLUDES: Russia) 16. Other British Isles & Scandinavia You may choose with each pick of yours which category to fill. Once you've chosen a player from that category you can no longer choose a player from that category. Your must fill a full squad of 11, with 5 substitutes. No second goalkeeper is required as I think that's a dumb rule to have in drafts and this is my draft. Players only qualify if they played for the country or in a country located within the region given. The player must have a first team appearance for that national team between 1966-2014. Players who meet those requirements are to be judged based on your opinion of their best day at the peak of their career. SIX hours for your picks! With the added part that if you miss a deadline you lose an hour on your next one. Also if you miss your deadline, you have to get caught up before any of your future deadlines become active. For instance if you're the last pick in the round, and your 6 hours is up, the second to last pick doesn't have to wait for your next pick's deadline. After the 11th round is complete deadlines are reset to 4 hours. So leave lists! It's really not difficult! Also we have a fabulous, and growing WhattApp community and there's only very little anal fisting that pops up here and there. So it's really nice. Draft will be a snake draft. 1. Telstar 2.

Interesting. I don't have a problem with that choice but I expected a few older players to go ahead of him.
If we have the same top two in mind, I had one of them last time and the other, well, his position is a lot deeper than some others. Tough tough choice at the end.
I'm happy that Messi has went as he was the only top player I'd pass up. Purely because I built a team around him last time, not feeling doing that again. I did well to get him at 4 last time. Yeah top number 10s are ten a penny in every draft we do, so many massive names. You could play Messi RW or false 9, more versatile.
The World Tour Draft Thread Difficult having the first picks in a draft where there's so much quality. Add the structure of this and yeah explains the first couple of picks more.
