I think my team has got too many players that, despite an honours list as long as a long thing, simply aren't popular players e.g Wes Brown.

Need a right back so filling into that position is the Swedish legend who was a favourite amongst the fans at both Wednesday and Coventry

It could be worse, you could still have this lot:

Peter Irwin, Denis Ljungberg, Freddie Keane, Robbie Ivanovic, Branislav Van Der Vaart, Rafael Viduka, Mark Sherwood, Tim Hendry,

Is it me now ?
Yes mate :)

Coutinho justifying my decision to pick him. What.A.Player

I make it that we have kinda jumped out of the right order as foolg was supposed to be up and then back to Hamilton whose last pick was only a catch up pick.

[MENTION=6505]Foolg[/MENTION] would nearly be out of time again and is several picks behind anyway and [MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION] would have been next to pick after foolg who has about 3hrs remaining.

[MENTION=225]Hamilton[/MENTION] follows and then it would be [MENTION=22841]stripeyshark[/MENTION] (unfair to make people drop their selections now so that someone else can hijack that pick )

There are a lot of catch up picks still to be made which is adding to the confusion:
[MENTION=1349]turienzo's lovechild[/MENTION] has two catch up picks
[MENTION=6505]Foolg[/MENTION] now has 4 catch up picks
[MENTION=14929]Max Paper[/MENTION] has 8 picks to make
[MENTION=5542]Horsham Gull[/MENTION] has 2 picks to make
[MENTION=23421]JOLovegrove[/MENTION] has 2 picks to make

Those names remind me of old games of Championship Manager: you'd get to the 2040/41 season and the leading scorer would be somebody like 'Wayne Bakayoko' or 'Ibrahim Keown'.

I had similar selection headaches too. Do you pick someone who has a great medal haul in the PL or a name who had most of his success elsewhere but is more of a household name. As this should be judged on their PL career, I went with the PL success (O'Shea with 5 PL titles over Mertesacker in my case for example)

Yes, absolutely, that's been my thought process all the way through apart from Coutinho. Sadly I suspect people will look more favourably at, for example, Alexis Sanchez over Premier League winning captain Tim Sherwood.

Will do skipper.

I won't be making a pick until the morning though.

Right, next pick.

This guy really annoys me. But, he has won 4 Premier League medals.

A couple of things are required from those who could be on the bench.

1- competition for those in the starting XI.
2- allow you to change your formation

So, one of my favourite players not to play for BHAFC, genuine competition for Essien in the middle and a great leader:

MATT HOLLAND
