Snow has sent his pick.

I'm missing EAP's - not sure why he's not sent it over.

Let's collate the picks in the committee thread as it seems we've all been sent the odd pick but no one has all of them :houllier:
Crappy is in the convo we leave our picks in. He should have it.

Probably because you can't add more than 5 people into the PM.
Right well we need a way around that otherwise there's not much point sending picks to people in the committee. If no one has all of the picks then it's a touch pointless quite clearly.

We could establish a routine per which everyone sends the pick to Gio plus a copy to the five committee members. Not ideal, but not that much hassle either - especially not if you just start a convo with each party and keep using the same convo for submitting picks.

The other way round it would be for you fellers to decide which FOUR committee members should be PM'ed with picks.

Wow Alan Mullery completely slipped my mind. Great pick there in the third stage.

I absolutely loved the McGrath pick - Think you had a great round there.

Socrates is the pick of the bunch but as I mentioned in the committee thread he's received close to zero credit in previous drafts and been seen principally as a luxury chain smoker.

I don't agree with that view but it's somewhat embedded.

There was another Brazilian genius, 1970 World Champion. You know, the moustached one :drool:
Surprised nobody went for him.
Oh I know. Wanted him but was sure he was either picked or was going to be picked. I figured he was more wanted than Bale and would fit me less. Didn't want to be crowded with playmakers.

edit: You were talking about someone else. He was ineligible.

Good thing it did - for both of us! Grabowski slipped MY mind, actually...I was pretty much stuck on an English (or British) track for this entire round after having abandoned a small handful of Brazilians (who either turned out to have won the league somewhere, or who ultimately didn't suit my needs).

Okay, apparently not. It's not on wiki though, so I missed it. And he was included in an XI of players who had never won the league I found on a Spanish site.
I didn't know he won in Saudia Arabia - I just assumed he won something with Corinthians in Brazil.

ROUND FIVE: PLAYERS WHO HAVE NOT WON A LEAGUE MEDAL

Choose a player who has never won a top tier league title. To qualify for this round the player must not have made a single appearance in a league-winning season.

In light of the Campeonato Brasiliero and the Bundesliga not becoming established until 1959 and 1963 respectively, no German or Brazilian player born before 1940 will be accepted for this round. For the purposes of this round the Taca Brasil is considered as the national league between 1959 and 1970, with the Brasiliero taking over in 1971. There are no age limits on players from other countries.

You have 24 hours.

I think every sheep should be a former Liverpool player that was supposed to be the next big thing. Shelvey can be the start. I'm talking Neil Mellor, Le Tallec, Sinama-Pongolle.

Not that he's a grand, hidden gem - but the mustached one is not blocked and not picked, so he shouldn't be named either.

And he was eligible per birth date - the cutoff was 1940.

You could nominate 2 most active members for that.

Manager+AM+Gio+2 common committee members should be the standard convo membership. If no AM, then fell free to add in a 3rd committee member.

Oh, I thought you were referring to the doctor who didn't get picked. Rivelino was born 3 years to early for this round.
ctp was referring to the moustachioed one which was presumably the possessor of the atomic kick. The doctor won the Brazilian Championship for Cruzerio in 1966.
