Congratulations. That's a perfectly valid reason to take your time. Please don't take my bumping of the thread as anything other than a sign of the enjoyment I've had participating:thumbsup:

Subs: Begovic(G.K), Arbeloa, Petrov, Sterling, Dublin
Let me take you through the principles and philosophy behind F.C GNLF. It's all about balance, flexibility, mental strength, resilience and flair.
All teams need a great keeper if they want to be serious contenders and F.C GNLF...
I can make no comment on the aging process experienced by such a man as he. However, I thought it was a premier league draft so it's when they first played in the premier league rather than when they made their old first division debut.
so:
Reina - World cup winning squad.
Staunton - 200 appearances
Lauren - Won premier league
Southgate - Promoted to premier league
Henchoz - 3 premier league clubs
Keane - Relegated from premier league
Toure - Transfer fee over 10 million.
Gullit: Won a major foreign top flight league
Nasri -...
Right, I'm going to sneak in and make my last pick. Muchos Gracias to MattBackHome stepping in for me. I'm not sure how I managed to not see Paul Robinson's name on the already picked list but I did so I'm left with a goalkeeper as my final pick.

Phone rings in F.C GNLF managers office, waking him from his 87/88 season reverie.
GNLF: Hello
Caller: ...
GNLF: What's that? you've got a player lined up who's scored a premier league hat trick. Twice? Tell me more, I'm looking to fill that category.
Caller...
GNLF: What?! He's scored over...
I'm so glad someone has seen fit to select him. He's by far the greatest English player of my lifetime. Admittedly a bit faded and jaded by the time he got to the premier league but he deserves to be here in recognition of his genius. My all time favourite player. I love him...and I love you...
