Premiership Pick 'n Mix Game

Pepe LeFrits

Anyone else bored and fancy a game?

What’s the game? Well basically, you pick a fantasy team made up of players in the premiership today (we could do it from the whole world, but it makes it the differences in teams less apparent). You select eleven players, then arrange them into a formation. Once everyone has selected their team, we have a vote (either by a public poll or for better element of suspense, by privately messaging the game starter, ie – me) on who has the best team, and whoever gets most votes wins. Obviously you can’t vote for yourself.

The one catch is that the selection process works like it does(/did!) in school games. You cannot pick a player that is already on another person’s team, and the selection process goes in a specific order with each person getting one pick, except for the last person on the order, who gets two picks. It then reverses. Eg:

Person 1 – Rooney
Person 2 – Fabregas
Person 3 – Ronaldo
Person 4 – Clichy
Person 5 – Van Der Sar, Ferdinand
Person 4 – Tevez
Person 3 – Cech
Person 2 – Evra
Person 1 - Gallas, Essien
Person 2 - …

And so on. I think there should be a max of 10 people per game, otherwise it gets too confusing.

When posting your pick, include the players already in your team, so it is easy to keep track of who has who. Once we have 10 (or less, if we don't have 10), I’ll edit this post to include the players and the order yiz are in. Don’t pick out of turn.

The order:

Pepe LeFrits

I'm surprised you haven't picked yourself yet ec.

Xavi6

Seems our esteemed moderator is no longer online. How do we proceed?

Mr Alan

ban him.

Pepe LeFrits

I imagine he'll be back shortly. He spends enough time on here so we probably won't have to wait that long. I'll be taking an enforced 45 minute break shortly myself.
