Guy Fawkes said:
My next pick is a forward who usually plays as a left or right sided winger. he is known for his dribbling skills, speed, crossing ability and his accurate left foot long-range shots from the right wing.

He helped Chelsea bring home two consecutive Premier League titles (2004–05, 2005–06) and he had a win rate of 82% whilst playing Premier League matches only for them

He has also won FA Cup (2006–07) the Football League Cup (2004–05, 2006–07) and the FA Community Shield (2005) whilst at Chelsea

After leaving Chelsea he has since won La Liga (2007–08) and the Supercopa de España (2008) with Real Madrid and at Bayern Munich he has won: Bundesliga: 2009–10, 2012–13, 2013–14. DFB-Pokal: 2009–10, 2012–13, 2013–14. DFB-Supercup: 2010, 2012 UEFA Champions League: 2012–13 and was Runner-up: 2009–10, 2011–12 UEFA Super Cup: 2013 and FIFA Club World Cup: 2013.

He has appeared at the 2004, 2008 and 2012 UEFA European Championships, and the 2006, 2010 and 2014 FIFA World Cups. He has finished the FIFA World Cup as Runner-up 2010 and in Third Place 2014.

Fitting in my team in either the 'has reached the World Cup final' category or into the 'has won another top league category'

My next pick is:
ARJEN ROBBEN

[MENTION=5392]Reinelt12[/MENTION] you're up.

Very nice. Not only to get Robben, but also to get him this far in the game. I've got a good one in my head who was a world class player and fills many of the categories, I wonder how long until someone gets him.

Made sure my Gif didn't show who it was, but King completely OWNS Robben there.

If it really is those 2 players in that gif, thats a one off incident and anyway, how likely is it that the one game of the season that Ledley King will be fit enough to play will be against the team with Robben in (clue: nearly as likely as finding rocking horsse droppings)

It is starting to get difficult to find world class players, but I think I have found one who will get me goals. He has played for 3 massive Premier League clubs in the shape of Arsenal, Chelsea and Man City and loves scoring goals wherever he plays. I need more goals and this man will provide.

Leading the line is Nicolas Anelka

My next pick was a key member of the team which kicked off an era of Premier League dominance. Forget his managerial record, he was a seriously good player, and of course every team needs a midfielder called Ince.

OK, I'm going for someone who only came to the Premier League in the Summer and has been one of the undoubted stars of the season so far. Assuming he can escape Rohan Ince's pocket in time for kickoff, he'll be free to create havoc and lay chances on a plate for my strikers.

He is, of course, ALEXIS SANCHEZ.

Over to [MENTION=1958]Gazwag[/MENTION] for two picks.

It was a tough choice in the last round and Anelka was of my listed players that i had a choice between and someone i knew wouldn't last until my next pick.

I still have 7 left as my main choices and a fair few fringe players as back up but it's difficult to know which order to pick them in and which will last until my next go.

I thought Robben was someone i needed, someone who had been forgotten about but wouldn't last very much longer hence why he was chosen above the rest. I just hope i still have plenty of choice for my next selection from my main list.

I'm torn between two players for my next one - almost hoping Gazwag picks one of them so that the choice is made for me.

[MENTION=1958]Gazwag[/MENTION] has until 00:15 to make his two picks, and [MENTION=5542]Horsham Gull[/MENTION] still has a pick to catch up on I believe.

[MENTION=14929]Max Paper[/MENTION] still has a catch-up pick as well when his ban expires.

Seeing as we're putting together squads and not just teams, I'm going to pick the man who is surely the best substitute striker in Premier League history, and no slouch when it came to starting games either.

He is 'The Baby-Faced Assassin' OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER.

The pick now passes to [MENTION=23606]Shatner's Bassoon[/MENTION], with [MENTION=5542]Horsham Gull[/MENTION] and [MENTION=14929]Max Paper[/MENTION] still having picks to make when they're available.

It's difficult to explain to the younger supporter just how insanely exciting some of the early overseas signings were, and how mad it was for a Brazilian international to rock up at Middlesbrough. Not only was he a great player, he also had a fantastic attitude and heart, and was visibly distraught when his team was relegated in 1997. He was part of Brazil's 2002 World Cup winning team as well, so all told a superb addition to my team. He is, of course, Juninho.

Does a players time limit start from when a notification is sent or when the previous persons turn is over? (Just seeking clarification)
