Do now have 6 genuine Serbian teenagers on my list!

Not sure what that list is for, but I'll give you a chance to explain to Mrs Hero first...

"Sorry darling I'm the next Adam Johnson"

I have players on my list from the following teams:

CS U Craiova
Bunyodkor
Midtjylland
Pachucha

There's going to be some Youtube action tonight.

I'm still waiting on Andy Polo to make it though :'(

If you guys could have one real life player in your team if you were starting one who would it be and why? Has to be a current player and you are building for the future in this scenario.

Lukaku because he's already a monster

Pogba ...

But as I've already got him, Varane

Hero, Olly, Trebs, Viva.

racist

Slackers the lot of them

Looks like I need to find at least 7 more players

You won't be the only 1 Bambam.

I stole 1 of Miky's which will be stole by Viva He stole another of mine that i thought would stick under radar.

Sorry Nando

It's alright im happier with the 1 i got tbh if doesn't get pinched

Best team so far;

GK
RB - CB - CB - LB
DM - CM
RW - AM - LW
Lewandowski

Thoughts?

Yeah the one you showed me looked good

Marky I think that's a good lineup, Lewandowski is really your stand out player for me.

Marky wrote:Best team so far;

GK
RB - Silva - CB - LB
Verratti- Pogba
Payet - Dybala - Barkley
Aguero

Thoughts?

Well that's better

Aguero > Lewandowski & Kane They ain't AM's either so not going there since Dybala can

Thanks mate. I think AM has a real future and RB is a game changer personally but fair point.

I meant my best team, but if you're gonna make a team of the star players;

GK
RB - Silva - CB - LB
Verratti
Barkley - Pogba
Payet
Aguero - Lewandowski

Subs: Dybala, Kane, Vardy

4-4-2 is out of date remember Marky so you can't do that

I'll do my squad tonight marky our glorious leader

It seems like you guys like Verratti so that's good news.

He's the 2nd best midfield star player signing Miky

I'm guessing Pogba is first for you?

Haha .. I was trying to be funny, but yeah

I'm a real Pogba fanboy though, convinced he's going to be the best player in the world in a couple of years

i admire the optimism

Squad bids sent in Marky - 100% expect to miss out on about 10

Well good news.

So far you've only missed out on 7

Just Hero, Trebs and Viva to go. I'll next be online properly tomorrow morning so if they get a wiggle on I can post the draft results tomorrow and then can begin the 2nd draft for those who missed out on anyone.

I'm doing mine now xx

So far picked a goalkeeper, it's going to be a long night.

The last two players I've been checking out are called Ramadan and Success. I'll be very surprised if I have any doubles with anyone else.

Is Noah available on TM yet Hero?

Not yet, Stoke have been a few times now, they've already taken on his mate on a year contract but he's a lot more physical than Noah.

Oh right ok.

Currently whittled down around 15 players so far and about halfway through my list, not one from the Premier League!

if need an opinion pm me

Same

I've c0cked up massively by going for 25 rather than 20

Albion need penalties after 210 minutes to beat a League One team. It's a good time to be alive...
