If you're struggling to find players for your squad, use www.transfermarkt.co.uk and search for players from your country, it should give you several options for your squad.

Each country is allowed to call up a maximum of FOUR legends from days gone by (seeing as it's a fantasy tournament).

The definite rule on Legends.

Players who are currently still active can be called up as legends, but it will take up one of your 4 legends spaces. Also the four legends in your squad must be labelled as legends to signify they are your four legends in their prime. I agree that it might be better if it was purely players who had retired, but I will leave the rule open so anyone could choose someone from years gone by or recent times. It widens the pool of players to be honest.

For example, Thierry Henry would be the guy running around the MLS, but Thierry Henry (Legend) would be the guy in his prime at Arsenal. And no, you can't have two of the same player (one as legend and one as normal) as that would be stupid.

Participants numbered 1 to 15 already, i've just put the 16 countries in a random order, so Dicey, could you either by PM or on here write 1 to 16 down the side of the page and assign a random number between 1 and 16 next to it please?

As in;

1. 9
2. 6
3. 12
etc

All it means is i'll know the draw before a 16th person is confirmed.

Here we go :

1 - 10
2 - 12
3 - 1

Allotting teams would be best done via a neutral party btw to avoid any thoughts of underhand tactics.

by Marky Mon 02 Apr 2012, 4:13 pm

You (or another admin) numbered the participants, I numbered the countries, then Dicey paired the two.

To be fair it's not a bad group for Poland, I wouldn't be so down on it. And someone had to get Poland, 100% wasn't fixed (or cherries would have got the Poles Wink

)

Why would you want to swap Bull?
You got Källström, Ibrahimović, Elmander

If we get 4 legends you can have Patrik Andersson, Tomas Brolin, Ljungberg, Larsson

by kamran Mon 02 Apr 2012, 4:29 pm

Ollyrules - I think I'll stick with England even though bringing back Maldini is tempting

I thought it would make it easier, for you to call on some of Poland's legends.
