After seeing all the auction games pop up recently I came up with this idea.
Remember when you were at school and you used to pick teams by selecting 2 captains and then lining all the other players up and allowing the captains to take turns in picking players for their team.

Basically the game will use this theory, but imagine that all the players and managers in world football are stood infront of you the captain to choose from until all captains have selected there squad and manager.

Anyone wanting to enter this game will need to post the following details

TEAM NAME
STADIUM NAME
CITY
HOME COLOUR BACKGROUND
HOME COLOUR FOREGROUND
AWAY COLOUR BACKGROUND
AWAY COLOUR FOREGROUND

This idea is still in its early stages and any idea's on how to improve it would be greatly appreciated, also I would like your opinion's on the starting reputation of the club's and the stadium capacity etc

The first person to register there team will have first pick but too make the game fairer if for example there are ten players in the game the picking will go from 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1,1,2,3,4,5,6etc to make it as fair as possible.

Finally if I get enough interest in this game I will arrange a time with all the players registered are online to start the picking process.

Picking order so far
1. Clarky 56 (Eboues african All stars) L. Messi
2. Joshh (The Champions League hopefuls) C. Ronaldo
3. BCFCLouis (Bristol United FC) F. Torres
4. Adzter (Adam's Nutz) W. Rooney
5. sprag365 (Ian Bogie's Snots) Kaka
6. ronaseal (Ronaseal's Beasts)
7. brad-dyer (Brads Blue Army)
8. zvx (The Crusaders part II)
9. LewisGD (Verwood FC)
10. kelanf7 (Cuppa Tea United)
11. The Shots (Young Stars FC)
12. edsyers (Syers Super Sloths)
13. Jake89 (Janice Experience)
14. Mr. T (Mr T's Boys)
15. Haunter99 (RabbitKillers FC)
16. sammyt (Ipswich Wizards)
17. Lional Pienaar (Cocteau Twins)
18. Paul LUFC Cactus (Bumbandets)

I will allow more entrants until the first round of picks is complete and if there is an odd number of teams at the end I will add my own team too the bottom of the list.

Please could anyone who is not going to be on-line much please PM me with there proxy list of players in order so I can automatically select there players from the list when it is there turn, and I can get on with creating the teams and running the story

Important anyone registered above who has not sent me either a proxy list of picks or the times they will be online this weekend by midnight on friday will be removed from the game

Please be online at 11.30am Saturday to start the draw
